What it costs
Local tows start at $85 hook-up + $4 per loaded mile (same rate any hour), roadside calls from $75 flat, motorcycles from $125, and heavy-duty from $350. From there the truck, the load, and the distance set the figure — the calculator up this page computes your exact number in about 60 seconds, before anyone rolls.
Your exact number comes from the live pricing engine — on screen in about 60 seconds or confirmed on the call before any truck leaves. No surprise add-ons, and never a different price on arrival.
What moves the price
A sedan on a flatbed is light-duty. A loaded semi, RV, or piece of equipment needs a bigger truck and rigging — that's the biggest price lever.
A short hop across town versus a cross-county haul. Local light-duty tows are a flat hook-up plus a per-loaded-mile rate, quoted up front.
A clean lot is simple. A ditch, a steep embankment, a rollover, or a tight underground garage takes more time and gear.
We answer and roll 24/7 at the same rate day or night — what moves the price is distance, vehicle class and add-ons, confirmed before dispatch and never sprung.

Towing questions
Every price is quoted before we dispatch, never after — and instead of printing ranges that go stale, the calculator on this page computes your exact number in about 60 seconds from the levers that actually set it: vehicle and weight class, distance towed, and difficulty on scene — at the same rate any hour. Roadside fixes are flat-priced the same way. It is the same live engine our dispatchers quote from, so there are no surprise add-ons and never a different number when the truck arrives.
We answer live and dispatch the nearest truck. The dispatcher gives you an arrival estimate on the call, and it depends on where you are, traffic, weather and calls ahead of yours.
