The cost of towing or fixing tires:
I am not clear why I would need to know the actual price of towing and/or changing/fixing tires that is charged by a towing company Unless! I did not have or chose not to have a Emergency Road Side Service plan like Good Sam offers or Coach Net. The charges are negotiated between the Towing/tire repair business and the ERS provider i.e. Good Sam. There may be some exceptional situations where there might be additional charges. For example, in Ariz. my truck's fuel pump quit working 50 miles from the nearest Dodge dealer. The Tow driver unhocked my trailer, pulled my truck up onto his flat bed, hitched my trailer to the back of his truck, towed me to the dealer, un hooked my trailer, off loaded the truck, rehooked my trailer and drove the trailer 15 miles to our RV resort, pulled into the park and backed up my trailer right into our reserved RV site. He then apologized because he had to charge me $1 per mile:):):). I gave the driver a $50 dollar tip and was happy to do so. In another tow service event where the driver had to wench the trailer up on a flat bed truck ( the rear spring broke and wheels were pushed together), then tow the trailer 25 miles to nearest facility that could fix the problem. Out of curiosity, I asked the driver how much the bill would have been if I would have had to pay out of my pocket---$1200. Glad I had Good Sam, I paid nothing!!!!!!
