Towing Pittston PA
Richardson Roadside Assistance tows any vehicle, any time, anywhere in Pittston emergency roadside tows and pre-booked scheduled tows, on a flatbed, with a live quote before we roll.
Emergency towing when you are stuck right now
A breakdown never picks a good moment. When your car dies on the Pittston Bypass, a tire blows on Route 315, or a collision closes a lane on Main Street, one call to (570) 309-2516 puts a truck on the way. We answer around the clock nights, weekends, holidays and the ice-and-slush mornings that fill the Wyoming Valley with dead batteries and ditched cars.
Every emergency tow starts the same way: we confirm your exact location and landmark, ask what the vehicle is doing (or not doing), quote the job on the phone, and give you a realistic arrival window. The driver arrives with a flatbed, secures your vehicle with wheel straps rather than chassis chains, and delivers it to the repair shop, dealership, body shop or address you choose. If your car is blocking traffic, sitting in a snowbank, stuck on a curb or half in a ditch, we winch it out first and load it second.
Scheduled towing you can book in advance
Not every tow is a crisis. Plenty of Pittston customers know exactly when they need a truck: the day the transmission shop has an opening, the morning a car has to leave a storage garage, the weekend a project vehicle finally moves out of the driveway. Book a date and a time window, and the truck shows up when you planned instead of when you panicked.
Scheduled tows are ideal for repair-shop transfers, dealership drop-offs, pre-purchase pickups, inspection appointments, seasonal and classic vehicles coming out of winter storage, fleet moves and end-of-lease returns. You do not even need to be present for every job arrange access and keys ahead of time and we will confirm pickup and delivery by phone.
We tow from anywhere in Pittston to anywhere you need
Roadside is only one starting point. If the vehicle is on private property, in a tight space, or has not moved in years, it can still go on the truck.
Roadside and highway
Breakdowns, accidents, blowouts and overheating on I-81, Route 11, Route 315 and city streets.
Garage or repair shop
Shop-to-shop and garage-to-dealership transfers when the first mechanic cannot finish the job.
Parking lots and decks
Apartment lots, business lots and low-clearance decks handled with a wheel-lift where a flatbed will not fit.
Home, driveway and yard
Cars that will not start, flat-tire vehicles and long-parked project cars pulled straight off the driveway.
Impound, storage and auction
Release pickups and auction wins delivered to your home or your mechanic.
Junk and scrap removal
Salvage, flood-damaged and non-repairable vehicles hauled away with title paperwork in hand.
Every type of vehicle
Sedans, SUVs, pickups and crossovers. Motorcycles and scooters, secured with soft straps and a front-wheel chock. Lowered and modified cars loaded with ramp extensions so the bumper clears. All-wheel-drive vehicles that must ride fully off the ground. Cargo vans, box trucks and work vehicles. Classics and collector cars that never touch a chain. Electric and hybrid vehicles, which belong on a flatbed rather than a dolly. And the ones that no longer run at all — seized engines, locked wheels, missing keys, flood damage, rollovers.
Flatbed first
Zero drivetrain wear, zero road contact.
Licensed & insured
Owner-operated by Daniel J Richardson.

This company was hired through our RV warranty Ford to pick up our motorhome on Saturday. It's now Tuesday they have our key. We were ghosted five times before being told that they did not have the equipment to handle the job. This company is very unprofessional on so many levels! Use at your own risk!Posted on Google![]()

New Milford towing questions, answered
How fast can a tow truck reach me in Pittston, PA?
Do you tow a car that will not start or has no keys?
Yes. A non-running, seized, locked-wheel or keyless vehicle is winched onto the flatbed with a wheel-lift and skates, so no key and no drivetrain are needed.
Can I schedule a tow in advance instead of calling in an emergency?
Yes. Scheduled tows can be booked for a specific date and time window, which is common for repair-shop transfers, pre-purchase moves, project cars, seasonal vehicles and junk vehicle removal.
Will you tow from a private parking lot, apartment complex or garage?
Do you buy or haul away junk and scrap vehicles?
