Call (260) 267-9022What Happens When You Call
Tell the dispatcher where you are. A cross street, exit number, or mile marker is perfect, plus your vehicle's make and model and where it's going. You get a price on the phone before a truck moves.
While you wait on a shoulder: stay belted in the car with hazards flashing unless you smell fuel or see smoke. If you must get out, exit on the side away from traffic and stand well off the road, never between two vehicles. On I-69 or I-469, get as far onto the shoulder as the car will roll.

Typical local ranges. The dispatcher prices your exact pickup and drop-off before dispatch. Real examples: Aboite to a shop off Coldwater Road is about 12 miles, so roughly $36–$60 in mileage on top of the hook. New Haven into downtown Fort Wayne runs about 8 miles. $24–$40. No meter surprises at the drop.

We run the whole Fort Wayne grid: I-69 and the I-469 loop, US-30 and US-24, downtown, Aboite, and out to New Haven. Interstate shoulders are the priority calls. A car on the side of I-69 at night is a dangerous place to sit.

Emergency Towing FAQs
How much does a tow cost in Fort Wayne?
Most local tows run $75–$125 to hook up plus $3–$5 per mile. You get the exact price on the phone before the truck rolls, based on where you are and where the car is going.
How fast can you get to me?
It depends on where you are and where the nearest truck is. The dispatcher gives you an honest ETA when you call instead of a made-up promise. Interstate and main-corridor calls get priority.
Can you tow my car to a shop I choose?
Yes. Your car goes where you say. Your mechanic, a dealer, or your own driveway. We never pressure you toward a shop you didn't pick.
What should I have ready when I call?
Your location (cross street, exit number, or mile marker), the vehicle's make and model, whether it rolls and steers, and where you want it taken. That's enough for a price and a dispatch.
Does insurance or a roadside membership cover this?
Often, yes. Most policies with roadside coverage and clubs like AAA reimburse a receipted call. Pay, keep the receipt, and file the claim. The dispatcher can tell you the itemized total to make that easy.
Can you come at night or in bad weather?
Call anytime. If a truck is available we roll, and unsafe positions move to the front of the line. Nights and storms can price a little higher, and you hear that number up front, not at the drop.
What vehicles can you tow?
Light-duty cars, SUVs, and pickups on wheel-lift or flatbed, plus motorcycles on a chocked deck. Heavy trucks, buses, and RVs need a heavy wrecker. We'll say so honestly rather than send the wrong truck.

One call gets you a dispatcher, an upfront price, and a truck on the way.
