In 1769 began the history of the first cars that were convenient for owners and helped to reach the desired place much faster. French engineer invented a machine that worked from a steam engine. From this time began an active period of the automotive industry. After that, another engineer was patented transport with internal combustion engine, his name was Karl Benz.

In 1895, began to appear the first bus and the different variations of vehicles no longer standing on the spot, and swiftly stepped forward. After a year on the streets began to drive taxis and trucks. Along with this stood on the spot and repair work on roads for travel on cars.

Despite considerable progress, with the advent of vehicles began to appear and other problems that each year is only growing. Among these troubles was the failure of the machinery and frequent emergency. The number of injured and broken down vehicles increased at an insane rate. Machines are becoming more on city roads, respectively, and the risk of being involved in an accident has increased significantly. Repeatedly there were cases when cars needed repairs skilled mechanics, the problem was how to deliver it to the destination.



The owner of one of garages Ernest Hill in 1916 began to understand that each time to deliver the vehicle almost single-handedly, it becomes difficult and sometimes impossible. Trying once again to retrieve the car from the river for several hours, Ernest pondered the invention of specialized transport, which would cope with such situations. But to invent something new needed additional tools and innovations, that's why the Hill was built a winch and brackets truck that was released in 1913. This innovation and became the first tow truck with a winch.

A bit later, Ernest organized a team of drivers who provided transportation services of cars, pulling them out of ditches and assisted on the road, in case of breakage. For several years, this company was the only one in the United States for the provision of services with machinery. Then Ernest began to engage in the production of tow trucks and distribute them around the world.

Today there are many companies and varieties of evacution that are capable of carrying several vehicles at the same time. Progress is not in place, as well as various services to car owners.
