Richardson Roadside Assistance · 24 Hours
Towing Clarks Summit PA
Breakdowns here happen in predictable places: the Route 11 grade by the Summit, the ramps at Exit 194, the Grove Street hill after an ice storm, and half the driveways in Waverly every February. Richardson Roadside Assistance runs flatbed towing, winch-out recovery and quick roadside fixes across those roads around the clock, with one local dispatcher and one honest price.
Need a tow in Clarks Summit? Call us and tell us three things: where the vehicle is, what it is, and where it needs to go. We give you a flat price on that call and a real arrival window. Most local runs in and around Clarks Summit get a truck rolling within minutes, and we stay in touch until the driver is in front of you.
We are Richardson Roadside Assistance, a local towing outfit that has been doing this work for over 10 years. We know Route 6 and 11, the Morgan Highway, the school lots, the apartment complexes off Northern Boulevard, and the tight driveways up the hill where a big wrecker will not fit. That local knowledge is why we show up quicker and hook up cleaner than a dispatcher three counties away.
What we tow in Clarks Summit PA
Light duty, medium duty and heavy duty. If it has wheels and it is stuck, ask us.
Light duty towing
Sedans, SUVs, pickups, minivans, motorcycles and small trailers. Flatbed for AWD, low clearance and anything you do not want dragged.
Medium duty towing
Box trucks, sprinter vans, shuttle buses, dually pickups, landscape rigs and small RVs. Wheel-lift or flatbed, whatever protects the vehicle.
Heavy duty towing
Loaded trucks, dump bodies, equipment trailers and fleet units. Tell us the weight and axle setup and we send the right truck the first time.
Scheduled tows
Move a car from a parking lot, a garage, a shop or a storage unit to your house on a set day and time. Book ahead, we show up when we said.
Emergency towing
Breakdown, no-start, dead battery, blowout, overheating or an accident. Day, night, weekend, holiday. We answer the phone.
Junk car removal
One junker or a whole lot of them. Title or no title in many cases. We haul the batch and clear the space in one trip.
Common jobs we handle in Clarks Summit
Car will not start in the driveway and the shop wants it in the morning? We do a scheduled pickup, meet the service writer, and drop the keys where you tell us. Car sat in a parking lot too long and the property manager is threatening a tow? Call us first and we move it on your terms instead of theirs, for a price you already agreed to.
Garage tow to home is another daily one. A repair quote came back too high, you want a second opinion, and the car needs to come off the lift and go back to your driveway. We handle that transfer in one run. Same goes for a car you just bought that will not drive home yet, a project car in a barn, or a vehicle you inherited and need moved before a house sale closes.
Then there is the ugly side of the job: winter mornings on the hill, a slide-off into the shoulder, a flat on the Turnpike ramp, a truck blocking a loading dock. We come ready with the right straps and dollies so the vehicle leaves in the same condition it was in when we got there, minus the problem.
No hidden charges. Ever
The number we quote on the phone is the number you pay. Hookup, mileage and the drop are all in it. If something on scene changes the job — the car is buried in snow, it is in gear with no key, it needs to come off a second level the driver tells you the new price and waits for your yes before touching the vehicle.

Where we tow
Clarks Summit is home base, so that is where we are fastest. We also run tows in Clarks Green, South Abington, Chinchilla, Waverly, Dalton, Glenburn and the north end of Scranton. Long-distance drops out of the area are no problem either plenty of customers have us haul a car to Wilkes-Barre, Stroudsburg, Binghamton or Philly, and that mileage is quoted flat before we leave.
