What will my tow cost?
Estimate only, based on the addresses you enter, driving distance from map data (always rounded up to the next whole mile) and our posted prices. Your final price is confirmed on the phone before we dispatch. It can change if the vehicle can't be reached, needs extra equipment or the addresses differ. Prices are for standard light-duty tows and roadside services only and do not apply to impounded vehicles, impound retrieval, crash and accident towing, or medium- and heavy-duty towing. Macomb County and trips over 50 miles are quoted by phone.
