You have a car that will not move and one big question: how much will this cost? The honest answer is that it depends on the job. Here are the things that decide the price of a tow in Lake Park and Riviera Beach, so you know what to expect when you call.
1. Distance
A tow to a shop a few miles away is not the same job as a long trip. The farther the vehicle has to go, the more time and fuel the job takes. If you can choose a shop close to you, a short-haul tow is usually the simplest option.
2. Type and size of the vehicle
A small car, a pickup, a van, a travel trailer and a piece of equipment each need different gear. Larger and heavier vehicles need more equipment. Tell us the year, make and model when you call.
3. Where the vehicle is
A car on a flat parking lot is easy to load. A car in a tight garage, behind a gate, on a steep ramp or on soft ground takes more work. See our page on ditch and embankment recovery for those situations.
4. The condition of the vehicle
If the wheels roll and the car is in neutral, loading is simple. If the wheels are locked, a tire is flat or the vehicle is damaged, it takes more equipment and time. Always tell us what is wrong.
5. Access at both ends
Low clearance, narrow driveways, closed gates and busy roads change how the truck can work. Tell us about any access issues at the pick-up and the drop-off.
6. Extra services
Sometimes a tow comes with something else, such as a recovery from a ditch or a lockout. We explain what is included before we start.
