Don't Let a Roadside Emergency Be an Added Stress
Motorists tend to be most vulnerable after an accident or experiencing car trouble. The last thing you need to worry about is the financial toll it can have on your pocketbook in those stressful times.

This problem is exacerbated by the risk of towing scams that target the vulnerable.
Remain empowered with some helpful tips, tricks, and reminders from APCIA to avoid being financially taken advantage of.
