Stuck In Monsoon? Here Are 5 Best Vehicle Breakdown Assistance

Monsoon season brings us much-needed relief from the relentless heatwave and it always comes with a set of challenges like floods and traffic jams that disrupt normal life. Though it seems exciting to go on a long drive or just hang out with family and friends during monsoon, traveling comes with a great list of concerns. Vehicles like a two-wheeler or a four-wheeler call for extra care during the monsoon. In most parts of the country, it only takes a light shower for the streets to turn into gentle streams, and quickly into raging rivers. Though most of the vehicles can manage in a little bit of water, staying in deep water for extended periods of time is a big NO-NO.
