What's It Like To Work In Roadside Patrol / Recovery?

Misc Question

Was offered a job for a breakdown recovery firm and I was wondering how difficult it would be. I understand it's mobile which is something I was interested in anyway, but I was more-so wondering what kind of jobs/repairs you get called out for.

They told me it was mainly minor stuff like empty fuel, tyres and battery failures that you get called out for.

Yet I know from experience those at HR and the recruiting agencies like to sprinkle sugar onto a potential new employee.

Is it worth it?
