IF YOU CAN’T SEE WHICH TOWING COMPANY YOU’RE CALLING, DON’T CALL.

Some websites appear to be local towing companies. But when you call, you may reach a middleman who takes your information, sets a price, and then searches for a towing company to perform the job. DO NOT GIVE THEM A CREDIT CARD.
We never ask for payment until we deliver the vehicle unless you are not meeting us there then we collect at
Time of pick up.

If you google towing companies look for an address. If you call a company ask what there address is not just the town they are in.

Use caution paying with a credit card in ADVANCE.

There are so many fake services taking your credit card and charging more than the actual company that comes out.

For example I’ve personally been sent to two unlocks where the customer was complaining about being charged over 200$ for an unlock that took me less than 60 seconds. But the company that called me and sent me paid my company 65$ both these unlocked were less than 10 miles from us.

I have horrible Stories from other customers on what they paid road side services.

But we are not supposed to discuss fees with customers or give them a receipt.

During the week of July 19th-25th the Indiana State Police is taking part in an initiative along with state police agencies in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia called the 6-State Trooper Project.

The focus will be on the “Move Over” law. This law requires motorists approaching emergency vehicles, recovery vehicles, highway maintenance vehicles, utility vehicles, and broken down motorists with hazard lights flashing to move over or, if unable to move over, to slow down at least 10 mph under the speed limit to safely pass by.

Do your part to keep those on the side of the road safe.

IC 9-21-8-35 has all the details.

“All you did was tow it a few miles. Why does it cost so much?”

It’s a question towing companies hear all the time after police directed emergency towing.

The answer is simple: you’re not paying for the few miles your vehicle traveled. You’re paying for the emergency response system that made it possible for help to arrive when you needed it. Not scheduled, not tomorrow, not when we can fit it in, but right now immediate response.

Like EMS and the fire department, towing companies are expected to respond 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—often within 20 minutes of being called by law enforcement. That means maintaining trained operators, dispatch systems, insurance, storage facilities, and hundreds of thousands (sometimes millions) of dollars in specialized equipment ready to roll at a moment’s notice.

Here’s the difference…

Police departments are funded.

Fire departments are funded.

EMS receives public funding, grants, or municipal support.

Emergency towing companies receive none.

In fact, we may be the only emergency service expected to maintain around-the-clock readiness without taxpayer funding. Even more challenging, approximately 40% of our police-requested services ultimately go unpaid.

Yet when the phone rings at 2:00 AM, during a snowstorm, after a serious crash, or when a roadway needs cleared for public safety, we’re still expected to respond immediately.

And we do.

The invoice isn’t paying for a few miles of towing.

It’s paying for the trucks, equipment, facilities, insurance, training, and people standing by 24/7, ready to respond when nobody else can.

That’s the true cost of emergency towing.

I love our town since I was just a little guy riding a bike around town. We have so much to offer and so many wanting to do good things for others. Here is an example. Please share, and this is for all ages.
