Hello, I would like to ask people in car repair or towing.  
  
  
  
 If I were looking to start a tow truck company I would advertise to the public and when an individual consumer needed a tow truck would call. If I were not familiar with the industry.  
  
  
  
 However, insurance companies and the like are the majority of sales and individual consumers are the minority of sales.  
  
  
  
 I would like to ask an estimate, of what % of sales are individual consumers for a typical tow truck company.  
  
  
  
 Thank you.
