Price And ETA Before Dispatch Light Duty To Heavy Open 24 Hours
A tow is the call you make when the vehicle is not going anywhere under its own power. Apex Towing runs it 24 hours a day out of Deerfield Beach, across every city in Broward County and north into Boca Raton. You get the price and a real ETA on the phone before we dispatch , and a call if that window slips. What the tow costs depends on the class of vehicle, the distance and the hour, so the number comes from a conversation rather than a chart.
What actually happens
What Happens When You Call
Where it is, precisely
The exit number and direction of travel on I-95 or the Turnpike, the cross streets on a surface road, or the level and space number in a garage. Precision here is the difference between fifteen minutes and forty.
What it is, including drivetrain
Year, make and model, and whether it is front, rear or all-wheel drive. That last one decides the truck, because an all-wheel-drive car cannot be dragged on two wheels without damage.
Whether it rolls and steers
A car that rolls freely and steers can be hooked in minutes. Locked wheels, a seized brake, a bent wheel or a snapped tie rod all mean skates, dollies or a winch instead.
Is it in gear, and is there a key
A vehicle stuck in park with no key is a different job from one that can be put in neutral. Say so on the phone and the right gear comes on the truck rather than a second trip.
Flatbed Or Wheel-Lift
A wheel-lift picks up one axle and leaves the other two wheels on the road. It is quick, it fits places a flatbed cannot, and it is fine for a short move on a two-wheel-drive car that rolls freely.
A flatbed carries the whole vehicle with all four wheels off the ground. That is what you want for all-wheel drive, low ground clearance, damaged suspension, a wheel that will not turn, or anything going a long way. Towing an all-wheel-drive vehicle on two wheels without dollies can wreck a transfer case, which is why the drivetrain question is not small talk.
All-Wheel Drive Low Clearance Damaged Suspension Locked Wheels No Key Long Distance
Before We Get There
If anyone is injured, or the vehicle is blocking a live lane, call 911 first — then call us. Hazard lights on, and get out and well clear of moving traffic if you can do that safely. Do not stand between your vehicle and oncoming traffic while you wait.
Have the key ready if there is one, and take anything you need out of the vehicle before the truck arrives. On a shoulder or a ramp, the direction you were heading changes how the driver approaches you, so lead with it.
Questions
Emergency Towing, Answered
Where will you take it?
Wherever you tell us. Your mechanic, a dealership, a body shop, your own driveway. Because you called us yourself, the destination is your choice. The only time that changes is a nonconsent tow off private property, which the property owner authorizes rather than the driver.
Can you tow an all wheel drive vehicle?
Yes, but not on two wheels. All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles need a flatbed, or dollies under the trailing axle, so that no driven wheel is turning on the road. Towing one the wrong way can destroy a transfer case, so tell us the drivetrain on the phone.
It is in a parking garage. Is that a problem?
Usually not, but give us the level, the space number and the posted clearance at the entrance. Clearance decides which truck can physically get to you. If the deck is too low for a flatbed, there are other ways to get the car out and we will explain them before anyone drives over.
What if it will not come out of park, or a wheel will not turn?
Say so when you call. Skates or dollies go on the truck before it leaves, rather than the driver arriving and finding out. A seized wheel, a locked column or a car stuck in park are all workable, they just change the hook-up and the time it takes.
Need A Tow Right Now?
Tell us where it is, what it is and whether it rolls and steers. That is enough to price it and give you a time. If it might not need a tow at all, start with roadside.
