Locked out, dead battery, flat tire, out of gas, or off the road entirely — our 24 hour emergency roadside service sends the nearest truck across Milwaukee and Waukesha counties to get you moving again, fast. Mobile, on-road car service — no-damage tools, upfront pricing, a real person on the line.
Stuck roadside anywhere in Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County? MKE Towing & Recovery sends a truck 24/7 for a jump start, a lockout, a flat-tire change or fuel delivery — each from $75 within 10 miles, tiered by distance with no per-mile fee — or a winch-out (mud or snow from $110, a ditch from $150). It’s roadside repair service where you’re stopped — the quick fixes that get a car moving again — and if it can’t be fixed on the spot, the same call gets it towed. Typical arrival is 30–45 min, and the price is quoted before the truck rolls. Emergency roadside service in Milwaukee, WI runs 24 hours a day: one live dispatcher takes the call and the nearest truck is sent with no-damage tools. Two of them run as their own dispatch: jump start service in Milwaukee and flat tire service in Milwaukee.

What we do roadside
Keys locked in the car — or shut in the trunk. We use professional, no-damage entry tools to get you back inside without a scratch on the door, lock or glass.
Dead battery in a lot or on the shoulder. A quick jump gets you running, and we test the battery before we leave so you know whether it'll start again or needs replacing.
Ran the tank dry? We bring enough fuel — gas or diesel — to get you to the nearest station, so you're not stranded waiting on someone with a gas can.
Flat or a blowout on the road. We swap to your spare so you can get moving — and if there's no usable spare, we flatbed it straight to a tire shop instead.
Off the shoulder, in a ditch, or snow- and mud-bound. We winch your vehicle back onto solid ground with a careful, controlled pull — no second tow, no added damage.
Tell our live dispatcher what happened and where you are — we'll send the right help with a real ETA and an upfront price.
From call to clear
A real dispatcher picks up — no phone tree. Tell us what happened and where you are, down to the exit and mile marker if you're on the highway.
You get an upfront price on the call — no meter running, no surprises. Then the nearest truck is on its way, with a real ETA, not a guess.
No-damage tools, a quick fix on the spot where we can — and if the car can't be driven safely, a flatbed to wherever you need it next.
You hear the price before a truck rolls. For fuel, you pay for what we actually bring — no hidden "out of area" surcharges.
Lockout tools that don't scratch, soft-strap winching, flatbed when driving isn't safe. We get you out without creating the next problem.
Stay safe
A few seconds of caution keeps a breakdown from becoming something worse — especially on the interstate. Here's what to do until we reach you.
Roadside questions
Every roadside job is priced by the same live engine our dispatchers use — distance from our South Side base, vehicle class, plus each service's own factors (keys inside or lost, spare or no spare, gallons needed, how deep you're stuck). Each service page has a calculator that shows your exact price in about 60 seconds, free — no per-mile fee for coming to you, and never a different number when the truck arrives.
Across Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County, typical arrival for roadside calls is 30–45 min from the time you hang up. The dispatcher gives you a real ETA on the call based on which truck is closest and current traffic — not a canned promise.
Your quote covers the trip out to you (service call from $75), with gas or diesel added at pump price per gallon — enough to reach the nearest station, confirmed before we roll. No hidden "out of area" surcharges and no full-tank markup.
No. We use professional, no-damage entry tools — not a coat hanger or slim-jim — so there are no scratches on the door, no bent frame, and no broken glass. We get you back in clean.
No problem. If there is no usable spare, we load the vehicle on a flatbed and take it to the nearest tire shop instead. You get the price for either option upfront so you can choose.
Yes — snow and ice ditch recoveries are routine for us in Wisconsin. We use a careful, controlled pull to bring the vehicle back onto solid ground without adding damage. Tell dispatch exactly where you slid off.
We do — I-94, I-43, I-894, I-794, US-45 and the rest of the metro corridors. One safety rule is non-negotiable: we don’t run jump starts in live highway lanes — those convert to a tow, for your safety. Give the dispatcher your direction of travel, the nearest exit and a mile marker if you can see one, and stay behind the barrier until we arrive.
Yes. We bring a regulated boost pack to you and start it on the spot, 24/7. A jump start is from $75 within 10 miles, tiered by distance with no per-mile fee, and typical arrival is 30–45 min. Call (414) 279-5510.
We test the charge before we leave and give you honest advice if the problem is the alternator rather than the battery. If it won't hold a start, we can tow it for you. Call (414) 279-5510.
Yes. We open most makes with air wedges and long-reach tools — never a slim-jim on airbag doors. A lockout is from $75 within 10 miles, tiered by distance with no per-mile fee. Call (414) 279-5510.
A roadside tire change is from $75 within 10 miles, tiered by distance with no per-mile fee, and the price is quoted before we come out. We swap your spare on the spot and torque the lugs to spec, not hand-tight. Typical arrival is 30–45 min. Call (414) 279-5510.
The roadside service is a spare swap: we put your own spare on, including locking lugs, and torque it to spec. If you'd rather not drive on the spare, a local tow is $85 hook-up + $4 per loaded mile. Call (414) 279-5510.
Most winch-outs run $110–$200: mud and snow pulls from $110, ditch recoveries from $150, quoted before we hook up. The price moves with depth, distance and difficulty, and a flatbed follows if it can't drive. Call (414) 279-5510.
