Towing in Shorewood, WI: five signals on Capitol Drive, from Wilson Drive to Lake Drive

Shorewood covers about 1.6 square miles between the Milwaukee River and the lake. Every signalized crossing on our map of the village is on Capitol Drive, so the quickest way to place yourself is to say which of the five you are nearest and whether you are north or south of it. We completed four Shorewood jobs in the 12 months to October 2026, all tows. Call (414) 279-5510 for the price and an arrival estimate from a live dispatcher.

Away from Capitol Drive

The edges of the village

A few other markers a driver can aim for:

South line
East Edgewood Avenue, with crossings at Oakland Avenue and at Lake Drive. South of Edgewood you are in Milwaukee.
River side
Hubbard Park and River Park, on the southwest side toward the Milwaukee River.
Lake side
Atwater Park at the end of Capitol Drive and the Shorewood Nature Conservancy south of it, both off Lake Drive.
Village parking
A surface lot operated by the Village of Shorewood is mapped near Oakland Avenue at the north end.

No truck routes, weight postings or low clearances are mapped anywhere in Shorewood. Four parking garages are counted on our map, none with a name; if the car is inside one, read the height on the sign at the entrance and pass it on.

Four tows, and where they went

Our Shorewood records for the 12 months to October 2026 are short: four completed jobs, every one a tow. Two of the cars were taken to Waukesha, one to Milwaukee and one to Glendale. None stayed in the village.

That is why the drop-off address matters more than the pickup here. The charge is $85 to hook up and $4 for each mile with the car loaded: $105 for a 5-mile tow, $130 for 10 miles and $200 for 25, with no extra at night. The towing cost page has every step, and long-distance towing covers a run to a dealer in another county.

If the car is all-wheel drive, lowered, or will not come out of park, ask for a flatbed.

Shorewood questions

Which repair garages are in Shorewood?

Two are on our map, both on Capitol Drive: Shorewood Auto Repair, between Wilson Drive and Oakland Avenue, and Mobil Service at Downer Avenue. We are a towing company, not a repair shop. We can take the car to either one, or to any shop you name outside the village.

My car is gone from a Shorewood street. Was it towed?

Ask the Shorewood Police Department, mapped just north of Capitol Drive and Wilson Drive; they can tell you whether it was towed and by whom. If we have it, it is at 206 W Layton Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207, and you should call (414) 279-5510 before coming. A car towed just across Edgewood Avenue on a City of Milwaukee order is a different matter, explained in the Milwaukee tow lot guide.

The battery is dead in my driveway. Do I need a tow?

Usually not. A jump-start is $75 when you are within 10 miles of our yard, and the dispatcher confirms the figure for your address. If the car still will not start after the boost, the visit turns into a tow to a shop.

What if there is a crash on Lake Drive?

Call 911. No hospital is mapped inside Shorewood, so the ambulance crew decides where to take anyone hurt. Once the officer gives you a report number, the car can be towed; accident towing explains how.

Shorewood’s neighbors

Whitefish Bay is the next village north along Lake Drive. Milwaukee lies south of Edgewood Avenue and west across the river, and Glendale is to the northwest. Other towns are listed under service areas; for a simple breakdown, begin at towing.
