Emergency Towing

Fast Emergency Towing When You Need It Most

When your vehicle breaks down unexpectedly on a busy Detroit highway or a quiet side street at 2 AM, you need a towing company that responds fast. Prime O Towing provides 24/7 emergency towing services across Detroit and the Metro Michigan area, with average response times of 30 minutes or less.

Our emergency tow truck operators are trained professionals who understand that a vehicle breakdown is stressful. Whether you’ve been in a collision, your engine suddenly died, or your car simply won’t start, we dispatch the nearest available tow truck to your location immediately.

What Qualifies as Emergency Towing?

Emergency towing covers situations where your vehicle cannot be safely driven and needs immediate removal from the roadway. Common scenarios include:

• Vehicle breakdowns on highways and expressways — Including I-94, I-96, I-75, M-10 (Lodge Freeway), and M-39 (Southfield Freeway)
• Post-accident vehicle removal — We coordinate with police and emergency services to safely clear the scene
• Engine failure or transmission problems — When your vehicle suddenly loses power and cannot move
• Overheating or smoke from the engine bay — Do not attempt to drive further; call us immediately
• Flat tires with no spare available — If you can’t change it yourself or don’t have a spare, we’ll tow you to safety
• Vehicles blocking traffic or creating hazards — Quick removal to restore traffic flow
