Towing FAQ · Lake Park & North County

Your Towing Questions, Calmly Answered

The questions drivers in Lake Park, North Palm Beach, Juno Beach, Tequesta and Jupiter ask most. If you need help right now, call (561) 680-6845.

Cost and payment

How much does a tow cost here?

It depends on how far the car is going, what you drive, whether it needs a flatbed and whether it is stuck. Call (561) 680-6845 with both addresses and we will give you a free quote.

Do tow trucks charge by the mile?

Most tows include a base hook-up charge plus a charge for distance. We give you the total for your trip before the truck is sent.

What does a 10, 20 or 50 mile tow cost?

Longer trips cost more, and the vehicle and situation matter too. Share the exact addresses and we will quote the route.

Will my car insurance cover the tow?

It may, if your policy includes towing or roadside coverage, or if the tow follows a covered accident. Your insurer can tell you, and we always give you a receipt.

During the tow

How long will I wait?

It depends on where you are, traffic and the time of day. We will tell you honestly what to expect when you call.

Can I ride along in the tow truck?

It depends on the truck and how many people need a ride. Please ask when you call, and we will help you plan.

Can you tow my car without the keys?

Yes. A flatbed or wheel-lift can move a car without keys, though keys help if the steering is locked.

Can you tow a motorcycle?

Yes, gently, on a flatbed with proper tie-downs.

Can a tow truck fit in a parking garage?

Often, yes. Tell us the garage and its height clearance so we send a truck that fits.

How far can you tow my car?

Anywhere in the north county, and long-distance to other cities and states.

Breakdowns and roadside help

What should I do if my car breaks down on US-1?

Turn on your hazard lights and, if the car still moves, turn into a side street or parking lot. If it does not, stay buckled in unless the car is unsafe. Call 911 if anyone is hurt or a lane is blocked, then call us.

Who should I call when my car breaks down?

Call 911 for any emergency. For the car itself, call a towing and roadside company. In Lake Park and the north county, you can reach us at (561) 680-6845.

I locked my keys in the car. What should I do?

If a child, a pet or anyone vulnerable is inside, call 911 right away. Otherwise, take a breath and call us for a lockout service; we open cars without damage.

Can you jump-start my car instead of towing it?

Often, yes. If the car starts and keeps running, you can drive away.

Is roadside assistance worth paying for?

It depends on how much you drive and how old your car is. Without a plan, you can still call us and pay only for what you need.

Towed cars

How do I find my towed car in Palm Beach County?

Look at the signs where you parked; private lots must post the towing company’s name and phone number. If the police may have ordered the tow, call that agency’s non-emergency line. Bring ID and proof of ownership when you pick it up.

Can a car be towed from private property?

Yes, when the property owner or manager authorizes it under Florida rules, usually with posted signs. If you think a tow was wrong, contact the property manager.

Did you tow my car from a parking lot?

We tow when drivers call us for help. For parking-lot tows, the posted signs show which company handles that property.
