Cold weather taking its toll on cars, towing crews
LENEXA, Kansas (KCTV/KSMO ) Road crews and towing companies are finishing up one of their busiest weeks ever.
Trucks with Santa Fe Towing have been out on the roads almost constantly since last weekend. A typical winter day may have about 100-120 tows, but this week they’re averaging 150-200 every day.
AAA Kansas also reports doubling their efforts. It says about 80 percent of their calls were for dead batteries or cold-weather-related engine failure.
Experts say drivers may have skipped getting routine maintenance done this year in the pandemic.
Santa Fe Towing says the extended snap of extreme temperatures takes a toll on batteries. And in this cold, there’s more pressure to get out to people when they’re stranded.
