Dr. Tow is a locally owned and operated towing company serving Tampa, Hillsborough County, Polk County, Pasco County, and Hernando County with comprehensive roadside assistance solutions. Whether your battery dies at 2 AM in Plant City, you lock your keys in the car at a Hillsborough shopping center, or your vehicle breaks down on I-275, our certified technicians respond quickly with the tools and expertise to resolve your emergency.
We understand that roadside emergencies happen at the worst possible times. That's why Dr. Tow operates around the clock, every single day of the year. Our dispatch center is staffed 24/7, ready to send a fully equipped tow truck or service vehicle to your location within minutes of your call. We serve individual drivers, fleet operators, motor clubs, and insurance providers throughout the greater Tampa area.
Our client base spans everyday commuters stuck on the side of Dale Mabry Highway, small business owners managing delivery vans, families visiting the Tampa Riverwalk, and out-of-town travelers renting cars at Tampa International Airport. We also partner with insurance companies, motor clubs like AAA, and property managers who need reliable towing for parking enforcement or tenant assistance. Whether you drive a compact sedan, pickup truck, motorcycle, or small cargo van, Dr. Tow has the right equipment and expertise to help.
Dr. Tow maintains full coverage across Tampa's urban core, suburban neighborhoods, and rural routes throughout Hillsborough, Polk, Pasco, and Hernando Counties. We routinely serve Brandon, Riverview, Carrollwood, Town 'n' Country, Lutz, Wesley Chapel, Plant City, Lakeland, and dozens of smaller communities. If you're within our territory and need roadside help, we'll be there — day or night, rain or shine.
We provide full towing and roadside assistance across Hillsborough County (including Tampa, Plant City, Brandon, Riverview), Polk County (including Lakeland), Pasco County (including Wesley Chapel, Lutz, Land O' Lakes), and Hernando County. If you're unsure whether we serve your location, call (813) 333-3060 — our dispatch team will confirm coverage and give you an ETA.
Dr. Tow believes in transparent pricing. When you call, we'll ask for your location, destination, and the type of service you need, then provide a clear quote before dispatching a truck. Our rates include mileage, labor, and any applicable fees — no hidden surcharges. The price we quote is the price you pay, unless you request additional services on-site.
We accept cash, all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), and debit cards. If your service is covered by a motor club (AAA, Better World Club, etc.) or an insurance roadside assistance policy, let us know when you call — we'll coordinate directly with your provider and you'll only pay any applicable deductible or overage.
Yes. Our light-duty tow trucks are equipped to handle motorcycles, scooters, compact cars, sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks up to 10,000 lbs gross vehicle weight. We use wheel-lift or flatbed methods depending on the vehicle type and your preference. For larger trucks or commercial vehicles over 10,000 lbs, we can refer you to a trusted heavy-duty towing partner.
If you're on the side of a highway or busy road, turn on your hazard lights, move to the shoulder if possible, and stay inside your vehicle with your seatbelt fastened — especially at night or in heavy traffic. If you're in a safe location like a parking lot, you can wait outside your vehicle. Keep your phone charged and accessible so our driver can call when they're close. Our dispatcher will send you a text with the driver's name, truck number, and ETA.
Absolutely. Dr. Tow works with delivery companies, property managers, auto dealerships, rental car agencies, and municipal contracts. We offer volume pricing, priority dispatch for fleet clients, and monthly invoicing. If your business needs regular towing or roadside support across the Tampa Bay area, contact us at drtowfl@gmail.com or (813) 333-3060 to set up a commercial account.
Our drivers are trained to navigate tight urban environments, multilevel parking garages, narrow driveways, and gated communities. We carry dollies and skates for moving vehicles in confined spaces, and our wheel-lift trucks have a smaller footprint than traditional flatbeds. Let the dispatcher know about any access restrictions when you call, and we'll bring the right equipment.
