Do you really come out as far as Lutz?
Yes, at any hour. It is around 18 miles from our downtown base, so the drive out costs a little more than in the city — we tell you the full figure on the phone before we set off.
Service area
Tow truck in Lutz, FL — around the clock
Lutz is the far north end of where we work — wooded lots, lakes and long residential roads where the nearest shop is not around the corner. That changes what people call us for: fewer garage jump starts, more tows on US-41 and Dale Mabry, and cars that have to go a fair distance to reach the mechanic the owner actually trusts.
Call 656-777-2980How we get to Lutz
From Downtown Tampa we head north on I-275 or up Dale Mabry Highway, which runs all the way into Lutz and ends at US-41. The Veterans Expressway covers the west side and Van Dyke Road.
Lutz is around 18 miles from our base, past the 10 miles of driving to you that the base price includes, so expect extra miles at $5 each on the run out. We would rather tell you that up front than have it surprise you — call and you get the whole figure before we set off.
We do not publish an arrival time. Call and we will tell you where the truck is right now.

- Cars that will not start at home, towed into Tampa to the owner’s own mechanic or dealer.
- Accident towing on the Veterans Expressway and Dale Mabry.
- Dead batteries in store and church parking lots along US-41 — a jump start from $65.

From Lutz we also run east to Temple Terrace, south through Carrollwood and the University Area, and back into Tampa.
What it costs
A local tow starts at $95 — that covers driving out to you and towing the car a set distance. Every mile past that is $5, and once a run passes roughly 25 miles it moves down to $3 per mile, because that comes out cheaper for you.
A jump start starts at $65. Fuel delivery and putting on your spare are quoted on the call. You get the figure before anything moves, not after.
Where the truck starts from
Our base is 124 S Morgan St, Tampa, FL 33602, in Downtown Tampa. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week — nights, weekends and holidays included, with no surcharge on the base price.
You call, you decide where the car goes — your mechanic, a dealer, a body shop or home. We have no storage yard, so there is no reason for us to steer you anywhere else.

Lutz — common questions
How much does a tow from Lutz cost?
A local tow starts at $95, which includes up to 10 miles for us to reach you and up to 10 miles of towing. Lutz is further than 10 miles from our base, so extra miles at $5 each are added on the drive out, and on the tow if the car is going a long way. One phone call gives you the exact number.
Can you tow my car from Lutz to my mechanic in Tampa?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people in Lutz call us. Give us the shop and we take it there — or to the after-hours drop area if they are closed.
Is a jump start in Lutz worth it, or should I just get a tow?
If it is the battery, a jump start from $65 is much cheaper than a tow, especially this far out. Tell us what happens when you turn the key and we will tell you honestly which one you need.
