Frequently asked questions.

General

How quickly can you arrive?

Arrival time depends on where you are, traffic and weather. When you call, the dispatcher gives you an honest estimate up front and keeps you updated while the driver is en route.

What areas do you service?

Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, plus Concord, Huntersville, Matthews, Pineville, Gastonia, Mooresville, Kannapolis, Mint Hill, Fort Mill and Rock Hill. If you're nearby but not listed, call — we'll tell you straight away if we can help.

What types of vehicles do you tow?

Cars, SUVs, pickups, vans and motorcycles, plus fleet and commercial vehicles. Tell the dispatcher what you drive so we send the right truck.

Do you offer roadside assistance?

Yes — jump starts, flat tire changes, lockouts and fuel delivery, 24 hours a day.

How do I pay for service?

Payment is collected when the job is complete. Ask the dispatcher which payment methods are accepted when you book. Business accounts can be invoiced.

Can I schedule a tow in advance?

Yes. Scheduled transport is available for dealer moves, auctions, repair shop runs and relocations — call or use the request form and choose a date.

Are you really open 24/7?

Yes. (980) 529-5237 is answered around the clock — nights, weekends and holidays included.

Towing

Do you use flatbeds or wheel-lift trucks?

We use both. Which truck we dispatch depends on the situation — the vehicle, where it is and where it's going. If you have a preference, please let us know when you call or in your request.

Can I ride along in the tow truck?

In most cases, yes — let the dispatcher know how many people need a ride when you call so we can plan for it.

Where can you tow my vehicle?

Anywhere you choose: your home, a repair shop, a dealership or a storage location. Local and long-distance tows are both available.

Vehicle Transportation

How far in advance should I book?

A day or two ahead is ideal, but call anytime — same-day transport is often possible depending on the schedule.

Do you move non-running vehicles?

Yes. Tell us when you book so we bring the right equipment for loading a vehicle that doesn't roll, steer or brake.

Can you pick up from an auction or dealership?

Yes. Have the paperwork or release ready and let us know who to ask for on site.

Roadside Assistance

What roadside services do you offer?

Jump starts, flat tire changes (using your spare), vehicle lockouts and fuel delivery. If a repair on the spot isn't possible, we can tow you.

Do you sell or install new tires?

We mount your spare. If you don't have a usable spare, we can tow the vehicle to a tire shop of your choice.

Do you service motorcycles and trucks?

Yes — tell the dispatcher the vehicle type so we send the right equipment.

Jump Start Service

Will a jump start damage my car's electronics?

Not when it's done correctly. We use professional jump packs with surge protection and connect at the manufacturer's recommended points.

What if my battery won't hold a charge?

If the battery is at the end of its life, a jump will only get you so far. We'll tell you honestly and can tow you to a shop if needed.

Can you jump start a car in a parking garage?

Yes. Portable jump packs mean we don't need to park nose-to-nose — just tell us the deck level and space.

Tire Change Services

Do you repair or patch tires?

We install your spare on site. For a patch or a new tire, we can tow you to a tire shop.

What if I don't have a spare?

We'll tow the vehicle to a tire shop or anywhere you choose.

Can you change a flat on the interstate?

Yes. If the shoulder is too narrow to work safely, we'll load the vehicle and move it somewhere safe first.

Fuel Delivery

How much fuel do you bring?

Enough to get you safely to the nearest gas station so you can fill up.

Do you deliver diesel?

Tell the dispatcher what fuel your vehicle uses when you call so we can confirm before we head out.

What if my car still won't start?

Some vehicles need a few tries or a jump after running dry. If it still won't start, we can tow it.
