With the cold weather biting, the wait time to get a tow truck to move your car is about five hours, and about one to two hours for a boost, say tow truck operators in Lloydminster.
Battery shop operators are also doing a brisk trade with all makes and models of vehicles as the phone lines are busy there as well.
MyLloydminsterNow in phone calls to some outlets gained a few tips:
- Keep your vehicle plugged in as required
- Be aware of the age and condition of your battery and car maintenance
- Clear your windows and windshield, check wiper blades, and ensure your exhaust is unobstructed
- Have extra warm clothing or blankets in your car, especially if you have to make a long trip
- Fully charged phone, phone charger, backup power, flashlight, and emergency roadside kit.
