Towing situations

Locked steering wheel across the New Orleans metro

If the steering wheel seems locked, keep the no-force instruction. Quick Tow New Orleans matches you with a licensed operator. We do not own the trucks. Operators need wheel direction and whether keys are present because a locked column can prevent steering onto a bed. This page does not give a mechanical workaround.

Common intake questions

Should I force the wheel?

No. This page gives no handling instruction and no mechanical workaround. Share what you observed.

Why do keys and wheel direction matter?

Operators need both because a locked column can prevent steering onto a bed.

What if I do not have the keys?

Mention that. The car-without-keys hub is related.

Does this explain why it locked?

No. It does not identify a cause.
