Tow truck in Tampa, FL — around the clock
Tampa is where our truck lives. We are based on S Morgan Street in Downtown Tampa, a few blocks from the Selmon Expressway and the I-275 ramps, so most of the city sits inside the miles already included in a local tow. Downtown garages, South Tampa side streets, the Westshore office parks, Ybor City after closing time — this is the ground we cover every single night.
Call 656-777-2980How we get to Tampa
From Downtown the Selmon Expressway (SR 618) runs west to South Tampa and Gandy Boulevard, and east toward Brandon. I-275 crosses the city north–south and meets I-4 just north of downtown at the interchange locals still call Malfunction Junction — one of the most common places in the city for a car to give out in traffic.
Kennedy Boulevard (SR 60) carries us west to Westshore and Tampa International Airport; Dale Mabry Highway runs the length of South and West Tampa past Raymond James Stadium; Bayshore Boulevard and Howard Avenue cover South Tampa and Hyde Park.
Most addresses in Tampa are within the 10 miles of driving to you that the base price already includes. What that means in minutes depends on the hour — the Selmon at 5 p.m. and the Selmon at 3 a.m. are different roads — so we do not publish an arrival time. Call and we will tell you where the truck is right now.

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.

Tampa — common questions
How much does a tow cost in Tampa?
A local tow starts at $95. That includes up to 10 miles for us to reach you, loading, and up to 10 miles of towing. Extra miles are $5 each. For most trips inside the city the base price covers the whole run — we confirm the exact figure on the phone before anything moves.
Can you get a car out of a downtown parking garage?
Usually yes, and for a dead battery the truck often does not even need to go in — the jump pack does. For a tow, the ceiling height is the limit rather than the car. Tell us the garage and the level when you call and we will say honestly whether the truck fits.
My car broke down at Malfunction Junction. What do I do?
Hazards on, stay belted in, and call. If you are blocking a live lane, call 911 as well so traffic can be controlled. Tell us which direction you were heading and the nearest exit — on that interchange, direction matters as much as the road.
Do you tow at night in Tampa?
Yes, every night of the year, at the same price as during the day. There is no night, weekend or holiday surcharge.
Stuck in Tampa?
A real person picks up, day or night. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week.
