What do homeowners ask about Emergency Towing?

How much does an emergency tow cost in Memphis?

Every emergency tow is quoted flat before the driver rolls, based on distance and vehicle size, so you hear the total before you say yes. Beale Street weekend calls and ice-storm nights cost the same as any other call, no surge pricing, no hidden fees. Heavy-duty and long-distance jobs get a separate written quote.

How fast can you get to me?

Average arrival across the Memphis metro is 30-45 minutes. Memphis Core and the closer Shelby suburbs are usually on the faster end. DeSoto County, MS and West Memphis, AR can run 45-75 minutes depending on distance and traffic, and Piperton and Atoka out on the county edges run similarly. We give you a real ETA when you call, not a script.

What happens if I break down crossing one of the Mississippi River bridges?

Both river crossings, the Hernando de Soto Bridge (I-40) and the Memphis & Arkansas Bridge (I-55), run with no shoulder refuge mid-span, and both carry heavy interstate-truck volume around the clock. In 2021, a cracked tie-girder shut the Hernando de Soto Bridge for nearly three months and rerouted the entire load onto the Memphis & Arkansas Bridge, a real reminder of how little margin these crossings have. TDOT's HELP patrol covers both bridge approaches (Monday through Sunday, 6am to 8:30pm) for a flat change or a jump, but it does not tow, and it does not run overnight. Stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt on and hazards flashing, and call us for the tow itself.

Will you come to I-40, I-55, I-240, I-269, or Lamar Ave?

Yes. I-40 through Frayser, Raleigh, and out to Cordova and Arlington, I-55 from the DeSoto County line up through Whitehaven and South Memphis, the I-240 loop, I-269 around the outer edge, and Lamar Ave/US-78, we work every major corridor in the metro, into DeSoto County, MS and out to West Memphis, AR too. For a highway incident with police already on scene, we follow standard scene protocol. For a private call on the shoulder, we dispatch directly.

Do you accept insurance or motor club dispatches?

Yes, AAA, Allstate, Geico, USAA, State Farm, and the major motor clubs all route calls through us across the Memphis metro. If you have roadside coverage, call your insurer first so they cover the tow. If you need help direct, call us and we bill you flat rate.
