Three Types of Trucks

Flatbed, wrecker and light service. The right one comes out.

What we come out for

Three types of truck, one phone number, every hour of the year.

Flatbed and wrecker

Breakdowns. Cars that will not start. Long distance hauls. The bed when your car needs carrying, the wrecker when it needs pulling out of somewhere. On the bed it rides with all four wheels off the ground, so it reaches the shop in the shape it left you in.

  • Flatbed
  • Wrecker
  • Local tows
  • Breakdowns
  • Long distance

Roadside assistance

Dead battery, flat tire, locked out, out of fuel. A light service truck comes to you. We test your battery on the spot and can fit a new one right there, so most people drive away in their own car instead of watching it go on a bed.

  • Battery replacement
  • Battery test
  • Jump start
  • Lockout
  • Flat tire
  • Winch out

On flat tires: we fit the spare that came with your car, so you do need a usable one on board. If there is no spare, or the spare is flat as well, we tow you instead.

Find your town.

We run these roads every night. Pick yours and see what a normal call looks like.

Please note: the times shown here are rough estimates for planning only, measured from our yard in West Warwick to the middle of each town. They are not a guaranteed arrival time. Real traffic, weather, road works, the exact spot you have stopped and how many calls we are already running will all change them. Call us and we will give you an honest window for where you actually are.

Not sure where you are?

If you cannot see a road sign or a house number, tap this. Your phone works out exactly where you are standing, then you read it to us on the call.

Your phone will ask permission first. Nothing is sent anywhere until you choose to.

Customer reviews

What drivers are saying.

Real feedback from drivers we have helped across Rhode Island.

“Matt from the towing company was fantastic! He showed up when he said he would, he got the car loaded safely and swiftly and in turn dropped it off in the same manner. He was a great tow driver.”

Meghan

“The driver arrived within 15 minutes. He was polite, helpful and courteous.”

Terrie

“Irving was fantastic, nice, very polite and quick! He was great.”

Wendy

“The driver came in a timely fashion and demonstrated a friendly, competent approach to helping us.”

Dean

“Christian was very knowledgeable and efficient. He came promptly and took care of business! We were extremely satisfied, his guidance for driving home on the donut wheel as we had a long way to go (from Rhode Island to New York) was invaluable!”

Sherri

“Hai L. arrived at the scene. He was professional and helpful in spite of the downpour. He quickly got my vehicle going again.”

Ava

“Matthew Sim was very helpful and courteous. It was late at night for him, but he still ensured that he provided the best assistance, and he did!”

Charles

“Alex was very professional and took care of my car perfectly.”

Jennifer

Price

No mystery bill.

The number one thing people say about a bad tow is that nobody told them what it would cost until it was too late to say no.

How it works

You get the price on the phone, before a truck rolls. Distance, the kind of tow, and that is it. No surprises when the truck shows up.

Straight answers

The things people ask at 2am.

If the answer you need is not here, calling is faster than reading. 401-420-9069.

Most calls in our area land in the thirty to forty five minute range, and the honest answer depends on where you are and what the night looks like. We give you a real window on the phone and we call you if it moves.

South County and Kent County. Warwick, West Warwick, East Greenwich, North and South Kingstown, Narragansett, Exeter, Richmond, Charlestown, Hopkinton and Westerly. If you are just outside, call anyway and we will tell you straight.

Yes. The light service truck carries batteries, so we test yours where you are and, if it is done, fit a new one right there. That usually takes under an hour from the time we arrive and your car never has to leave on a bed. Tell us the make and model when you call and we will bring the right one.

Yes, and we have been for around twelve years. Call us direct on 401-420-9069 and we take care of it from there.

Most cars ride on the flatbed with all four wheels off the ground, which is the safest way to move a car. Some jobs need the wrecker instead, and we tell you which one is coming when you call. Either way it gets secured properly and it comes back the way it left.

Yes. That is the whole job. Call 401-420-9069.
