Call 716-324-1023 or use the instant towing quote page and provide the exact pickup location, destination, vehicle information, and reason the vehicle cannot be driven.
Mechanical Failure and Breakdown Towing
A mechanical failure can happen without warning and may leave a vehicle unsafe to drive. We provide breakdown towing for many vehicles affected by engine, transmission, electrical, steering, suspension, cooling-system, or other mechanical problems.
- Vehicle will not start
- Vehicle starts but will not remain running
- Engine overheating
- Transmission will not shift into gear
- Electrical or charging-system failure
- Steering or suspension problems
- Damaged wheel, axle, tire, or driveline
- Warning lights indicating unsafe operation
- Vehicle loses power while driving
- Vehicle becomes stranded at home, work, or another location
If a roadside service cannot safely solve the problem, the vehicle may be transported to a repair shop, dealership, home, or another approved destination.
Stalled Vehicle Towing
A stalled vehicle may stop in a parking lot, driveway, business property, residential area, or roadside location. If the vehicle will not restart or cannot be driven safely, towing may be the safest option.
When requesting stalled vehicle towing, tell dispatch:
- Where the vehicle is located
- Whether it can roll, steer, and brake
- Whether the engine will restart
- Whether the vehicle is blocking traffic or access
- Whether any warning lights appeared
- Whether the vehicle is leaking fluids
- The requested repair shop or destination
Accident-Scene and Collision Towing
A vehicle involved in an accident may have hidden damage that makes driving unsafe. Emergency accident towing may be needed when the vehicle has damaged wheels, steering, suspension, body panels, glass, lights, or safety systems.
Eligible accident-damaged vehicles may be transported to:
- Body shops
- Collision centers
- Repair facilities
- Dealerships
- Homes
- Other approved destinations
Provide details about whether the vehicle can roll, steer, and brake, whether airbags deployed, and whether any wheels are locked, damaged, or missing. Additional information is available on our accident towing page.
