What changes the price

Distance. The per-mile rate applies from pickup to drop-off.
Vehicle type. Cars, SUVs, pickups and vans use the standard rate. Heavy-duty trucks are quoted separately.

Flatbed. AWD, electric, lowered and classic cars go on a flatbed at the same published rate.

Dallas roads where tows happen most

The Mixmaster (I-30 and I-35E south of downtown). Tight lane changes, heavy trucks and constant merging make this one of the busiest places in Dallas for flat tires and fender-benders. If you stall here, stay in the vehicle with hazards on and tell dispatch which direction you were headed.

The High Five (I-635 and US-75). A stacked, multi-level interchange in north Dallas. Narrow shoulders mean we ask for the nearest exit or sign before we dispatch, so we can pick the safest spot to meet you.

Stemmons Corridor and Market Center. Heavy daytime traffic plus trucks and delivery vans. Dead batteries and stalled vehicles are common in the large lots and loading areas along I-35E.

Deep Ellum, Uptown and Lower Greenville at night. Parking garages and busy streets mean lockouts and dead batteries after dinner and shows. Give us the garage name and level and we find you quickly.

Dallas North Tollway. On a toll road, the nearest exit or mile marker is the fastest way to tell us where you are.

When you don't need a tow

A lot of "I need a tow" calls are really a jump start ($140), a tire change (from $130), a lockout ($140) or fuel delivery ($150). Tell the dispatcher what happened and we will suggest the cheapest fix.
