Engine quit on the I-20 grade past Scenic Mountain? Keys shut inside the cab at a Gregg Street fuel stop? Whatever left you sitting on the shoulder in Big Spring or out on a Howard County caliche road, a local driver is close and already rolling — open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a real dispatcher picking up every time.
Three steps is all it takes — we handle the rest.
Ring (615) 241-0232 and a real Big Spring dispatcher picks up — never a machine, never a hold queue. Tell us where you're sitting and what the vehicle is doing.
We send the truck that fits the job — roll-back flatbed or wheel-lift — straight to your spot, from downtown Big Spring to the far edge of the county. You hear the price before the hook ever touches your vehicle.
Your vehicle rides to wherever you point us — your shop, the dealer on Gregg Street, or your own driveway. What we quoted on the phone is what you pay when we set it down.
From flatbed towing to fuel delivery, we cover it all across Howard County — and we bring the right equipment for every job.
A roll-back deck for anything that shouldn't roll on its own — four-wheel-drive pickups, lowered cars, show vehicles, and bikes — hauled level across Howard County with every wheel off the pavement.
Flatbed Towing →For everyday front- and rear-drive cars, the wheel-lift is quick to hook and easy on the wallet — a smart way to clear an I-20 shoulder or a Big Spring side street in a hurry.
Wheel-Lift Towing →Keys sitting on the seat while you're stuck outside the door? Whether it happened at a Gregg Street lot or an I-20 truck stop, we pop it open clean — no locksmith upcharge, no long wait.
Lockout Service →Flat rubber, a battery that won't turn over, a temp gauge in the red — we roll to you across Howard County and sort it right there on the shoulder so you're not stranded any longer than you have to be.
Roadside Assistance →Tank hit empty out on I-20 or a ranch road past Forsan? We bring you enough gas or diesel to reach the next station — no reason to pay for a tow when a can of fuel does the trick.
Fuel Delivery →Dropped a wheel off the caliche, buried in mud after a Permian Basin downpour, or hung up in the bar ditch out toward Stanton? Our winch and recovery rig drags you back onto solid ground.
Winch-Out & Recovery →Wrecks, a stalled car blocking a lane on FM 700, a breakdown miles from town after dark — we launch a truck the moment you call, whatever the hour reads.
Emergency Towing →A no-crank battery in any Big Spring parking lot or driveway — we arrive with a heavy-duty booster, get you running, and check the charge before pulling away so it doesn't leave you stranded twice.
Jump Start Service →Bikes ride on the flatbed only, chocked at the front wheel and cinched with soft straps — never chains against your paint or chrome.
Motorcycle Towing →Call us and you get Big Spring, not a phone bank three states away. We run these roads for a living — the I-20 stretch past Scenic Mountain, the FM 700 loop, US-87 heading down toward Sterling City, and the caliche ranch roads most GPS units give up on.
"Put my truck a wheel deep in the bar ditch off the Coahoma exit when the shoulder gave way in the rain. The driver had a line on it and me back on I-20 inside the hour — polite the whole time, and the bill matched the quote to the dollar."
"Ran the tank dry on I-20 heading home to Stanton after a long shift. Called these folks and they showed up with a fuel can before I'd finished pacing the shoulder. Fair money and a genuinely decent guy behind the wheel."
"My daughter's Civic wouldn't start in a Big Spring parking lot and I was forty miles out in Midland. They met her, jumped it, and stayed until it ran steady before letting her leave. Can't thank them enough for watching out for her."
"Battery quit on me outside the feed store in Colorado City. Dispatcher answered on the second ring, the driver rolled in quick, boosted it and checked the alternator before he left so I wasn't left guessing. That's how it ought to be done."
"Locked my keys in the truck at Comanche Trail Park with the dog still inside. They talked me through staying put, got there fast, and had the door open without a scratch. Real lifesavers that afternoon."
"Blew a tire on US-87 south of town with no good spare in the bed. They flat-bedded me to a shop in Big Spring and never once made me feel like a bother, even past midnight. Straight shooters on the bill, too."
