Emergency Towing

Emergency towing in Springfield. One call. Any hour.

When your engine quits on the Kansas Expressway diverging diamond at rush hour or a tire blows on Glenstone Ave at 2 a.m., you want one number that actually takes the call. The Quick Tow Springfield line takes calls 24/7, and we line up a local tow operator across the City of Springfield and the surrounding Greene, Christian, and Webster county communities.

What do drivers ask about emergency towing?

How much does an emergency tow cost in Springfield?

Every emergency tow is quoted before the driver rolls, based on distance and vehicle size, so you hear the total before you say yes. Heavy-duty and long-distance jobs get a separate written quote.

How fast can you get to me?

It depends on where you are and which operator is free, so nobody can honestly quote you a number before they know both. Springfield Core and the closer suburbs are usually on the faster end. Branson, Bolivar, Monett, and the outlying towns run longer. Ask your operator for an arrival window when they take the job.

What happens if I break down at the Kansas Expressway diverging diamond or another tricky interchange?

The I-44/Route 13 interchange was North America's first diverging diamond when it opened in 2009, and it still catches out-of-town drivers off guard with its unusual merge pattern, along with the flyover ramp where I-44 meets US-65. MoDOT's Motorist Assist / Emergency Response patrol, dispatched out of the Transportation Management Center of the Ozarks here in Springfield, covers area freeways for hazard clearing and a push to safety, not full repairs and not a tow. Stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt on and hazards flashing, and call us for the tow itself.

Will you come to I-44, US-65, US-60, MO-13, or Kearney Street?

Yes. I-44 across the north and west side of the city and out to Strafford and Marshfield, US-65 from Bolivar down through Springfield to Ozark, Nixa, and Branson, US-60/James River Freeway, MO-13/Kansas Expressway, and Kearney Street, the network covers every major corridor in the metro. If police are already on scene, the officer decides who tows and where it goes. If your call falls outside Springfield city limits, it runs under Missouri's state towing law rather than the city's contracted process, and either way we line up an operator and get you moving.

Do you accept insurance or motor club dispatches?

If you have roadside coverage with AAA, Allstate, Geico, USAA, State Farm, or another motor club, call your club first. They pick the tower. If you need help direct, call us and we line up an operator. The price is quoted before anyone is dispatched.
