How we do it differently
Price before the hook
You get the whole number on the phone — hook-up and mileage together — before a truck moves. If the driver arrives and the job is exactly what you described, that is what you pay. No arrival surcharge, no fuel fee invented on the spot.
The right truck, not the near truck
AWD, low-clearance and non-rolling vehicles get a flatbed. Sending a wheel-lift to an AWD car damages the drivetrain, and we would rather send a truck ten minutes further out than hand you a repair bill.
A dispatcher, not a queue
Calls go to a person in Metro Detroit who knows which trucks are where. You will not be asked to describe your problem to a call centre in another state that then brokers the job out.
Before you call
Emergency Towing questions
How much does a tow cost in Metro Detroit?
Local towing starts at $80 for the hook-up, plus mileage. Hook-up rates around Metro Detroit generally run $85 to $135, so $80 is at the bottom of the market rather than the middle of it. Because the mileage depends entirely on where you are and where the car is going, we give you the complete total on the phone — one number, before a truck is dispatched. If a company will not give you a total before they hook up, that is the moment to call someone else.
How fast can a tow truck get to me?
Across most of Metro Detroit we average 30 to 45 minutes. Inside Detroit, Warren, Dearborn and Southfield it is often closer to 25 to 35. If you are on a freeway shoulder, say so when you call — those calls get moved to the front because you are in the most dangerous place a stranded driver can be.
Do you tow all-wheel-drive and low-clearance cars?
Yes, on a flatbed. Towing an AWD vehicle on a wheel-lift with two wheels on the ground can destroy the transfer case and centre differential. Tell the dispatcher your make and model and we will send the correct truck the first time.
Can you tow my car if I am not with it?
Yes. We can pick up from a driveway, a lot, or a repair shop as long as we have your authorisation and the keys are accessible or the vehicle can be dollied. We will call you with photos before and after loading so you can see the condition it left in.
Do you take insurance or motor club jobs?
We take direct-pay customers first because that is who we can guarantee a time to. If you have AAA or a manufacturer roadside plan, they will dispatch their own contracted provider. Some customers call us anyway and submit the receipt for reimbursement — check your policy before you do.
The person who shows up is an AA Towing driver in a marked truck with the same logo you see at the top of this page. If a truck arrives that does not match, do not load your car onto it.
Straight answer
Why you can hand us the keys
We are not going to show you a wall of five-star quotes. Our Google Business Profile is still going through verification, which means we have no public reviews yet — and inventing some would tell you everything you need to know about how we would treat your invoice. Here is what we will put in writing instead.
The quote is the price
You hear the whole number before a truck moves — hook-up and mileage together. If the job is what you described, that is what you pay. No arrival fee, no fuel surcharge invented at the kerb.
A person answers, not a queue
The phone goes to a dispatcher in Metro Detroit who knows where the trucks are, not to a national call centre that brokers the job to whoever bids lowest.
The right truck for the vehicle
All-wheel drive, low clearance and non-rolling vehicles go on a flatbed, even when a wheel-lift is closer. Sending the wrong truck saves ten minutes and costs you a drivetrain.
Licensed, insured, and local
6+ years running trucks out of Metro Detroit and past 10,000+ tows. Ask the driver for credentials at the kerb — that is a fair question and you will get a straight answer.
