I can't find a tag for the base of operations of a towing service - i.e.
you call them to tow your broken car or truck to a repair shop. The
basic definition would be a service that tows cars and other "light"
vehicles. Truck and other heavy vehicle towing would be a separate
option. I propose:
shop=towing [+ hgv=yes]
For me, a shop would be to get in, buy something (or at least get some
service done) and go out. That's not the case here. A towing service will
get to your place to do something, much like the office of a plumber
(which in most cases also wouldn't "qualify" for a shop).
You might even won't be allowed to enter the area.
Agreed. So other than "don't tag it", can someone suggest what such a
place should be tagged? Really, it's like any other sort of service-based
business or office of some other kind of non-retail business.
I wrote this before I realized there were other replies on this topic.
Based on them, it seems the closest fit is office=towing, since that's what
such a place is primarily used for - accounting, answering the phone, etc.
I'll use and document this if there is no significant opposition.
