On National Take a Hike Day, Road Angel Towing reminds McKinney drivers that a breakdown shouldn't mean a long walk, and offers free roadside safety consults.
McKinney, TX (PRUnderground) November 6th, 2026
National Take a Hike Day on November 17 is all about lacing up your boots and hitting the trail. Road Angel Towing and Roadside Service fully supports a good walk at Erwin Park or along the Towne Lake trails. What they don't support is the unplanned hike to the nearest gas station after your car dies on US-75. To celebrate the day, the McKinney towing company is offering free roadside safety consults to help local drivers keep their walking strictly recreational.
During the free consult, the Road Angel team will walk drivers through the most common causes of breakdowns, including dead batteries, worn tires, low fluids, and empty gas tanks, and help them put together a basic emergency kit for the trunk. It's a quick, no-pressure conversation that can save drivers a sore pair of feet and a lot of frustration, especially with holiday travel season right around the corner.
"Hiking is great when you choose the trail," said Jimmy, owner of Road Angel Towing and Roadside Service. "It's not so great when the trail is the shoulder of the highway and you're carrying a gas can. We'd rather help people avoid that walk altogether, and if they ever do get stuck, we'll come to them."
Free consults are available November 17 through November 30 by phone or in person, with no purchase required. The offer is open to all drivers in McKinney and surrounding communities. To schedule a free consult, call Road Angel Towing and Roadside Service at (972) 301-7711 or visit https://towing-roadside-assistance-roadangel.com/towing-service-mckinney.
