We get calls all the time for cars in spots they shouldn’t be in, but you can’t just have someone’s car towed away. There are rules… If you live in an apartment complex and you come home to find someone in your assigned parking spot, the first thing you should do is look around at… Continue reading There’s a car in my spot!

Beware of Scammers
In the last few years, I have noticed and uptick in “Roadside Assistance” services. That is not a terrible thing if they are upfront about the “service” they provide. Sadly, as is true with any other type of upheaval we experience, there are folks who will take advantage of us. We all know the big… Continue reading Beware of Scammers
What a Year!
As we have worked our way through the challenges that 2023 has presented, we’ve also had opportunities to learn new things. This year, we got the chance to learn about towing electric vehicles.

For those who may be new to the desert, the monsoon season officially started on June 15th. We haven’t had any actual rain from it, though. That means our lovely desert is a bit on the dry side. At last count, I think we have 19 fires currently making their way across our state. One… Continue reading Fire, Desert, & the 4th of July
Summer, the Road, & Tires
We are getting ready to head into summer here in the Old Pueblo. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t mind the delay in triple digit weather. Unfortunately, they are here. With the heat comes challenges that we may not think about until it’s too late. Prime example: your tires. We know the temps… Continue reading Summer, the Road, & Tires
What should you do…?
Yesterday I was in an office on Broadway Blvd. when blaring sirens on the street outside drew my attention. There was a firetruck travelling east in the left-hand lane that was trying to get through traffic. Behind the firetruck, everyone had pulled to the right to allow the truck to pass. In front of the… Continue reading What should you do…?

According to kidsandcars.org, in 2018, over 50 children lost their lives between February and September. Two of those children were in Arizona and in March, not the… Continue reading Did you know…
