Tow Truck in Las Vegas

When a car will not move on the shoulder of I-15 near the Strip, in a Henderson driveway, or in a Summerlin shopping center lot, a light-duty tow gets it to a shop or home. Dispatch covers the Las Vegas Valley 24 hours a day for short-haul tows on passenger cars and light trucks. The number is (702) 602-8846.

What this tow service is

This is a light-duty, short-haul tow operation for the Las Vegas metro. Standard passenger cars, SUVs, and light pickups, moved a reasonable distance across the valley to a repair shop, a dealership, or a home address. The job is hauling the car safely from where it sits now to where it needs to be next. Heavy-duty work like motorhomes, commercial trucks, and long-distance interstate moves out toward Pahrump or Mesquite is a different operation.

Sometimes a tow is not the answer

A lot of valley calls that come in asking for a tow turn out to be something simpler. A car that will not start in a casino garage after sitting in 110-degree heat all afternoon is usually a dead battery, and a jump on site gets the driver moving without ever loading the car onto a flatbed. A flat tire on the Beltway is often a tire change. A locked car at Harry Reid International Airport is a lockout, not a tow. If you call and describe the situation, dispatch will say plainly when a jump-start, tire change, or lockout will fix it faster and cheaper than hauling the car somewhere.

Where the tow goes

The driver chooses the destination. Most tows in the valley end at a repair shop the owner already uses, at a dealership service department, or at the driver's home in Henderson, Summerlin, Spring Valley, or North Las Vegas. If you do not have a shop in mind, dispatch can suggest one in the area you are stranded. The destination address goes on the call up front so the price reflects the actual trip.

What this service does not cover

If your car was towed by a casino, an apartment complex, or the city for parking in a tow-away zone or a fire lane along the Strip, that is an impound and the vehicle is at the contracted impound yard. The owner has to go to that yard, show registration and ID, and pay the impound fee to release it. Helping a driver get their car out of a Las Vegas impound lot is not part of this service. The tow truck described on this page is for drivers whose own car has broken down and needs to be moved by their choice.

Pricing

Light-duty tow pricing depends on where the car is now, where it is going, and the time of day. The price is quoted up front when you call, with the pickup address and the drop-off address both on the line, so there is no surprise at the end. Tell dispatch the make and model, whether the car is in gear or in neutral, and whether it is sitting in a tight spot like a casino parking garage, since those details affect how the truck has to load it.
