Emergency towing in Atlanta means a truck on its way after one phone call, whether your car died on I-285, stalled on Peachtree Road, or was damaged in a crash. We dispatch around the clock, every day of the year.
24/7 Towing Service
(470) 903-1003
An emergency tow is any breakdown or crash where the vehicle cannot safely stay where it is. A car on a highway shoulder, a van blocking a driveway at night, and a truck with a flat tire and no spare all fall into this group. You do not have to decide if your problem is serious enough. If you feel unsafe or stuck, call.
Our dispatcher asks four things: where you are, what you drive, what happened, and where the vehicle should go. With those answers we pick the closest truck and the right equipment, so the driver does not need a second trip. You hear the price first, and you get a call or text once a driver is on the way. Crashes and breakdowns happen everywhere, so we cover neighborhoods from Downtown Atlanta to Buckhead. See each stage of a call on our process page.
These are the emergencies that fill our phones most often.
Engine failure, overheating, and blown tires on I-285, I-75, I-85, and I-20 are everyday calls. Highway shoulders are dangerous, so we ask you to stay in the vehicle if traffic is close.
After a crash the car may have bent wheels, leaking fluids, or damage that makes it unsafe to roll. Our drivers often use a flatbed and work around police and other responders on scene.
A dead battery or failed starter in a parking deck, apartment lot, or driveway. If a jump can fix it, roadside assistance may save you the cost of a tow.
Breakdowns do not wait for business hours. A call between midnight and dawn is answered the same way as a call at noon.
A few simple steps keep you safer while you wait. Georgia law also helps: the Move Over law, O.C.G.A. 40-6-16, asks drivers to change lanes or slow down for a stopped tow truck with flashing lights, with fines up to $500.
Pull onto the shoulder or into a lot as far from traffic as you can, and turn on your hazard lights.
If cars pass close to yours, stay inside with your seatbelt on. In a safe lot, stand well away from moving traffic.
Share the nearest exit number, cross street, or landmark. On the interstates, mile markers help the dispatcher.
The driver may call when close. Confirm the company name on the truck before you hand over your keys.
On a busy road with traffic close to the car, staying inside with your seatbelt on is usually safer than standing next to it. If you can reach a safe lot or sidewalk, move there.
You can, but calling is faster in an emergency because the dispatcher confirms your location and sends a truck while you talk. Use the online form for tows that are not urgent.
It is best if you are. If you cannot be there, tell the dispatcher in advance who will meet the driver and where the vehicle is parked.
Give the closest exit number, cross streets, or a landmark such as a gas station or stadium. The dispatcher can narrow it down while you are on the phone.
