Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about towing costs, service areas, hours, and what we do.

How much does a tow cost in Toledo?

It depends on three things: how far the car is going, what you're driving, and the kind of help you need. A short local tow costs less than a cross-town or out-of-state haul. What never changes is how we quote it: we give you an honest, all-in price before the truck rolls, so there's no surprise number when we drop off. Call us with where you are and where it's headed and we'll tell you the cost up front.

Do you charge more at night, on weekends, or holidays?

A lot of towing companies tack on a big after-hours surcharge once it gets late. We keep it straight. Our tow line runs 24/7 and we tell you the all-in price before we head out, whatever time it is. No quiet late-night markup you only find out about at drop-off.

How long until a tow truck gets to me?

We're a local Toledo crew, not a national dispatch service routing your call three states away, so we're usually close by. Times depend on where you are, traffic, and the weather, but we'll give you a real ETA when you call instead of leaving you guessing. For breakdowns on the interstate we move fast, because the shoulder is no place to sit.

Are you really available 24/7?

Yes, our towing line runs 24 hours a day, every day, including nights, weekends and holidays. The tire and repair shop on Byrne Rd is open Monday through Saturday, 8AM-6PM. For a tow any time, call (419) 214-1151 and a real local crew will answer.

Do you take insurance or AAA?

Tell us how you're paying when you call and we'll walk you through it. If your tow is part of an insurance claim after an accident, we can tow your vehicle where it needs to go and you sort the claim with your carrier. We'll give you the paperwork you need. If you're not sure what your policy covers, call us and we'll help you figure out the simplest way to get your car moved.

What should I do after a car accident?

First, get yourself and anyone with you to a safe spot and call 911 if anyone's hurt. Let the police get to the scene before the car is moved, since they may need to see it for the report. Once you're cleared, call us and we'll get your vehicle off the road safely and tow it wherever you need, your shop, your home, or ours. We handle the car carefully so there's no extra damage on the way.

Do I need a flatbed, or will a regular tow truck work?

Some vehicles should always ride on a flatbed: all-wheel-drive, lowered, low-mileage, classic, or anything that isn't running. A flatbed carries all four wheels off the ground so nothing drags or wears. If you're not sure, tell us your year, make and model when you call and we'll send the right truck. We run flatbeds, so your car rides instead of getting dragged.

What will it cost?

We tell you the price before the truck rolls: an honest, all-in number, not a low quote on the phone and a bigger bill at drop-off. No surprise mileage, after-hours, or cash-only games. Call us with where you are and where it's going and we'll give you the cost up front.

Can you get into my car if I locked my keys inside?

Yes. Lockouts are an everyday call for us. We get you back in quickly and the right way, without prying or damaging the door, on cars, trucks and vans anywhere in Toledo and Northwest Ohio. If the keys are locked in the trunk or the car won't start once you're in, the truck's already there to help.

My battery's dead. Can you jump it or do I need a new one?

We'll come to wherever you're parked and get you started. If the battery just needs a jump, you're back on the road in minutes. If it's done, which happens a lot after a hard Toledo winter, we can test it and put in a new one instead of leaving you to do this again next week. We tell you the cost either way before we start.

How far will you tow my car?

As far as you need. Short local moves around Toledo, runs across Northwest Ohio, and long-distance hauls out of town or out of state. On a long tow we give you one all-in price before we leave, not a low number on the phone and a bigger one at the drop-off. Running or not, on the flatbed it goes.

What payment do you take?

Tell us how you'd like to pay when you call and we'll make it easy. We're upfront about the cost before we start, so you know exactly what you're paying and there's no cash-only surprise sprung on you when the truck shows up.

Where do you tow in Toledo and Northwest Ohio?

All over Toledo and the surrounding area: Sylvania, Maumee, Oregon, Perrysburg, Rossford, Holland, Bowling Green and the rest of Northwest Ohio, plus the I-75, I-475, US-23 and Ohio Turnpike corridors where most breakdowns happen.

Do you do more than tow?

We do. We're a full shop, roadside help (jump-starts, lockouts, flat tire changes, fuel), new and used tires in any size, and minor mechanical work. A lot of the time we can fix the problem instead of just towing the car.

I run a business or property, can you help with removals?

Yes. We handle private-property impounds, third-party (unauthorized) vehicle removal, and equipment hauling for businesses, lots and property managers across Toledo. See our For Businesses page or call to set up an account.

Are you a local company or a call center?

Local, family-run, right here on Byrne Rd since 2017. When you call, you reach the people who actually send the truck, not a national dispatch service three states away.
