Whether you need a tow or roadside assistance, the right equipment and proper techniques make all the difference. Professional towing companies use different equipment depending on the type of vehicle and the situation, including flatbed tow trucks and wheel-lift wreckers. Four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles often require a flatbed or a wheel-lift with dollies, while many two-wheel-drive vehicles can be safely transported with a wheel-lift or flatbed. Before your vehicle is moved, it must be properly loaded and secured to help prevent damage to the tires, wheels, drivetrain, body, and other components. From roadside assistance to vehicle recovery and towing, trained professionals use the appropriate equipment and securement methods to get your vehicle where it needs to go safely.

“The right equipment and proper securement make all the difference when it comes to moving your vehicle safely.”

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A PROFESSIONAL TOW

When you need a tow, the truck is only part of the job. The right equipment, careful loading, clear communication, and an experienced operator all help protect your vehicle from pickup to drop-off.

  • The Right Truck for Your Vehicle
    Different vehicles require different equipment. Flatbed towing is often ideal for AWD, low-clearance, specialty, and damaged vehicles, while wheel-lifts and dollies are better suited for other situations.

  • Careful, Damage-Free Loading
    Your vehicle should be loaded and secured using the proper attachment points, straps, and towing method. The right equipment and an experienced operator help protect your vehicle from pickup to drop-off.

  • Clear Price Before the Truck Roll
    Tow prices can vary depending on distance, vehicle size, equipment needed, time of day, and recovery difficulty. Describe the situation when you call so you know what to expect before dispatch.

  • Help for More Than a Breakdown
    B&A provides roadside assistance, accident towing and recovery, and private-property towing in addition to everyday vehicle towing.

Straight Answers On Cost

WHAT A TOW ACTUALLY COSTS

Every situation is different, so we quote you upfront before we roll — no surprises when the truck arrives.

A few things shape your quote:

Distance of the tow

Vehicle type & size

Flatbed vs. wheel-lift

Time of day

Recovery difficulty

Call and describe your situation — you’ll get a clear, upfront price before any truck is dispatched.

When you call for a tow or roadside assistance, the cost of towing reflects much more than simply the time it takes to move your vehicle. Towing companies must maintain tow trucks and specialized equipment, pay for fuel, insurance, maintenance, licensing, employee wages, training, dispatching, and the other costs required to remain available 24/7. These operating expenses are spread across the number of towing and roadside assistance calls a company handles, creating an average cost per service. A reasonable profit margin is then added to that cost so the company can continue operating and providing reliable service when motorists need help. In other words, the price of a tow reflects the actual cost of keeping qualified equipment and drivers available around the clock—not just the few miles your vehicle is transported.

“When you pay for a tow, you’re paying for more than transportation. You’re paying for the equipment, trained professionals, and 24/7 availability needed to provide the service.”
