Prior Lake Towing Service

1. What types of vehicles can you tow?

We can handle a wide range of vehicles, including:

  • Passenger vehicles (cars, SUVs, trucks)

  • Motorcycles and scooters

  • RVs, trailers, and campers

  • Commercial vans and fleet vehicles

  • Heavy-duty vehicles and construction equipment

Have a specialty or oversized vehicle? Give us a call—we’ll let you know how we can help.


2. When should I call a tow truck?

Call us anytime you’re dealing with:

  • A vehicle that won’t start or isn’t safe to drive

  • An accident that left your car damaged or inoperable

  • A flat tire without a usable spare

  • Overheating or mechanical failure

  • Running out of gas or diesel

  • Getting stuck in snow, mud, or off-road conditions

If you’re unsure, it’s always better to call and ask—we’re happy to guide you.


3. How fast can you get to me?

Arrival time depends on your location and current road conditions. We typically reach most customers within 30 to 60 minutes. Rural or high-traffic areas may take a bit longer, but we’ll always give you an accurate ETA when you call.


4. How much does towing cost?

Towing rates depend on a few factors:

  • Distance of the tow

  • Type and size of the vehicle

  • Time of day or night (after-hours rates may apply)

  • Type of service (e.g., flatbed, winch-out, accident recovery)

We’ll always provide a clear estimate before we begin, with no hidden fees.


5. What’s the difference between flatbed and wheel-lift towing?

Flatbed Towing: Your vehicle is fully lifted and secured on a flat platform. Best for:

  • All-wheel or rear-wheel drive vehicles

  • Motorcycles, luxury cars, and low-clearance vehicles

  • Accident-damaged or non-drivable cars

Wheel-Lift Towing: The truck lifts the front or rear wheels, with the others on the ground. Ideal for:

  • Shorter-distance tows

  • Front-wheel drive vehicles

  • Cost-effective and quick assistance


6. Can you help if I’m locked out of my car?

Yes! We offer 24/7 car lockout assistance. Our trained technicians can unlock most vehicle makes and models without damaging your car.


7. Is towing covered by my insurance?

It might be. Many auto insurance policies or roadside assistance plans include towing services. Contact your insurance provider to find out what’s covered under your plan.


8. Can I choose where my vehicle gets towed?

Absolutely. You can direct us to your preferred mechanic, body shop, dealership, or even your home. If you’re not sure where to go, we’re happy to recommend trusted local repair shops.


9. What should I do while waiting for the tow truck?

  • Pull over safely and turn on your hazard lights

  • Stay inside your vehicle if it’s safe to do so

  • Keep your phone handy in case we need to reach you

  • Make sure your location details are accurate when you call


10. Do you operate 24/7?

Yes—we’re available day and night, 365 days a year. Whether it’s early morning, late at night, a holiday, or during a snowstorm, Prior Lake Towing is ready to help.
