What will a tow in Detroit 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.

- Freeways: I-94, I-96, I-75, I-375, the Lodge (M-10) and the Southfield Fwy (M-39). Tell us the direction and the nearest exit or mile marker.

Downtown and Midtown parking structures often have low clearance, so tell us the garage name, level and height limit. Heavy summer storms flood freeway underpasses fast; never drive into standing water, and don't restart a car that stalled in it.
In the community
Skyline is part of the Detroit community, not just parked in it. One of our trucks carries handprints from families at an autism-awareness community event.
