Except you're not offering a tow. That would be analogous to getting them professional help.
What you're offering is a magic elixir that you promise that if they believe hard enough in and pour it in the gas tank, the car will suddenly start working again, when in all likelihood it will just screw the car up even more. The worst part is that you see a moment of weakness and vulnerability as a prime opportunity to peddle your superstition.
