Towing Pittston PA

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.

I needed a tow for my truck. Mr. Richardson was one of the most polite personable service man I’ve run into. Very professional and careful. I highly recommend him if you’re in need of his services.

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!
