First flatbed

Our story

Started with one flatbed and a phone that always got answered.

MKE Towing & Recovery started in 2019 with a single flatbed working the I-94 corridor and one promise: when a Milwaukee driver calls, a real person answers — 7 days a week, holidays and blizzards included. No call center, no voicemail, no runaround.

That promise hasn’t changed — only the fleet has grown. We’re still family-run and locally owned, now dispatching 5 trucks (3 flatbeds and 2 heavy wreckers) across Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County. Every driver is ours, every truck is maintained in our own yard, and every price is confirmed before we roll.

We’ve pulled cars out of February ditches off Hwy 45, cleared rush-hour breakdowns on the Marquette Interchange, and gotten more than a few stranded families home on a freezing winter evening. That work is why drivers, body shops, and fleet managers across the metro keep our number saved.

Why drivers trust us

Four things you never have to worry about.

Being stranded is stressful enough. Here’s what we take off your plate the moment you call.

Someone always answers

A real Milwaukee dispatcher picks up live — 7 days a week, every holiday, every storm. Never a machine, never voicemail, never a call center three states away.

A real ETA, not a guess

Trucks staged across the county mean a 30–45 min typical arrival. You get the driver's name and a live ETA by text, so you know exactly who's coming.

The price before we roll

A flat quote is confirmed on the call — hook-up fee plus a per-mile rate. No padded bills, no after-hours surprises, no “release fee” at the lot.

Your car, handled with care

Licensed, insured, and flatbed-equipped for damage-free hauls — AWD, low-clearance and luxury included. We recover your vehicle without adding to the damage.

Real people, real equipment

The crew behind the call.

Not a network of strangers — the same Milwaukee drivers and dispatchers, on our own trucks, every shift.

Good to know

Questions drivers ask about us.

Who owns MKE Towing & Recovery?

We’re a family-run, locally-owned company based in Milwaukee — the same owners and operators who started the business in 2019. You’re calling the people who actually run the trucks, not a national dispatch network.

How long have you been in business?

Since 2019, serving Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County. We started with a single flatbed and have grown to a 5-truck fleet without ever outsourcing our dispatch or drivers.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — fully licensed and insured for light- and heavy-duty towing and recovery, registered federally as USDOT #4272551 and MC #1659521. Documentation is available on request and the numbers are publicly verifiable on FMCSA SAFER.

What are your hours?

We're open 24/7. A real Milwaukee dispatcher answers live, including weekends and holidays — never a machine or voicemail. Call (414) 279-5510.

Will my car be damaged on the tow?

No — our 3 flatbeds haul AWD, low-clearance and luxury vehicles damage-free, and our drivers are experienced operators, not contractors. Careful handling is the whole point of owning our own equipment.

What areas do you serve?

Milwaukee and Waukesha counties — including Wauwatosa, West Allis, Greenfield, Franklin, Oak Creek, Glendale, Waukesha, Brookfield and New Berlin — plus the I-94, I-43, I-894 and US-45 corridors. Long-distance tows on request.
