Your Trusted Partner for 24/7 Emergency Towing in Tempe, AZ
Nobody plans for a roadside emergency, but when one strikes, you need a dependable hand you can call any time, day or night. At Tow Tempe, part of Thompsons Auto Repair & Towing, we’ve been providing 24/7 emergency towing services across Tempe and the wider Maricopa County for 30 years. Whether you’re dealing with a breakdown on the I-10, a flat tire near ASU, or an unexpected accident on Loop 202, our priority is getting to you quickly and safely.
We understand the stress and inconvenience of being stuck. That’s why our emergency towing service is designed for rapid response and professional care. We’re not just moving a vehicle; we’re helping a neighbor in a tough spot. Our commitment means an average response time of under 60 minutes, because we know every minute counts when you’re waiting by the roadside.
When You Need Emergency Towing Most
Life on the road in Tempe and the surrounding areas can be unpredictable. Here are some common situations where our 24/7 emergency towing service becomes essential:
- Vehicle Breakdowns: Your car suddenly quits on you during rush hour on US-60, or perhaps it won’t start in a parking garage late at night. We’ll get you to safety.
- Accidents: Following an unfortunate collision, once the scene is cleared, we can carefully tow your damaged vehicle from the accident site to a repair shop or your home.
- Flat Tires: A shredded tire on a busy stretch of the Loop 101 can be dangerous to change yourself. We can transport your vehicle to a safer location or directly to a tire shop.
- Lockouts: Left your keys inside your vehicle at Tempe Marketplace or after a class at ASU? We can often assist with lockout services, or tow if needed.
- Ran Out of Gas: Sometimes, the fuel gauge tricks you. If you’re stranded without gas, we can bring you fuel or tow you to the nearest station.
- Battery Jump Starts: A dead battery can happen anywhere. If a jump isn’t enough to get you going, we’re ready to tow.
No matter the time or the challenge, our team is equipped to handle your situation with the right tools and expertise.
