Specialized Electric Vehicle Towing in Tempe, AZ
As electric vehicles become more common on Tempe’s roads, the need for specialized towing services has grown right along with them. At Tow Tempe, part of Thompsons Auto Repair & Towing, we’ve been serving this community for 30 years, and adapting to new vehicle technology is just part of our commitment to our customers. EV towing isn’t the same as towing a traditional gasoline car; it requires specific equipment, techniques, and training to ensure your vehicle is transported safely and without damage to its sensitive components, especially the battery pack.
Our team understands the unique requirements of electric cars, trucks, and SUVs, from their specific lifting points to the importance of flatbed transport. We’re equipped to handle all makes and models of EVs, ensuring peace of mind when you’re facing an unexpected breakdown or accident anywhere in Maricopa County.
When You Need Expert EV Towing and Roadside Assistance
Electric vehicles, while incredibly reliable, can still encounter situations that require professional towing. Our services are designed to cover a range of scenarios:
- Dead Battery or Range Anxiety: If your EV runs out of charge far from a charging station, or experiences a critical battery failure, we can safely transport it to the nearest charging point or repair facility. We understand the unique challenges of a ‘bricked’ EV battery.
- Accident Recovery: After a collision, an EV can present different hazards than a conventional vehicle. Our trained operators know how to secure and transport damaged EVs, preventing further issues related to high-voltage systems.
- Flat Tires or Wheel Damage: Many EVs use specialized tires or have unique jacking points. If you get a flat on Loop 202 or experience wheel damage on a Tempe street, our team can provide careful roadside assistance or tow your vehicle for repair.
- Mechanical Breakdowns: While EVs have fewer moving parts, they can still experience motor issues, suspension problems, or other mechanical failures that leave you stranded.
- Lockouts: Just like any modern vehicle, an EV can lock you out. We can assist with car lockout services to get you back on the road quickly.
No matter the situation, if your electric vehicle needs professional attention, Tow Tempe is ready to respond. Just call us at 480-428-1921.
