4. Prefer a Different Shop?  

We tow only to in-network repair shops. We do not tow directly to non-network or customer-selected destinations.


If you prefer a non-network repair shop, we will still tow your vehicle to the nearest in-network location. Should you decline repairs after the vehicle arrives, you will need to pay the market-rate tow charge ($100 hook + $5 per mile) at our shop before the vehicle can leave. After paying the market-rate charge, you may arrange and pay for any additional tow separately.

Simple. Fair. Transparent. 

We believe in helping drivers get back on the road quickly and affordably — with no confusion, no surprises, and no inflated towing bills.
