Getting car towed, she won't start, does dealer tow??

Man the problems are just unloading themselves all at once on my car, i've owned it for 25,000 miles now, it has 58,000 on the clock and has been real good w/o a hiccup. Just today go out this morn to warm it up, crank crank crank, no start. Tried different keys, putting the car in neutral, checked fuses for fuel pump all is good. I don't hear the fuel pump kickin on though when i turn the key, will diagnose further in a bit. I just had the mass air go out on me, as well as the passenger side seat pad sensor. Also my speedo went out too and that sensor was replaced. My steering squeak is getting real bad as well, o boy. OK to my question... does the dealer have their own towing company or do i need to get a truck. My warranty company covers breakdowns so i'm trying to figure out how to get the towing cost covered.

At our dealer we have a towing company that we use but they arent a part of the dealership. You can have the car towed using whatever company you want. As a matter of fact, most places will actually add a surcharge if you use "their company" since the dealer will be paying the bill for you then adding it onto your repair bill. So it might be cheaper to use a tow company that you call directly.

This is when its nice to have Tele-Aid and pay that insignificant fee each year. I have a feeling its just the battery and nothing more than that.
