When your vehicle won't move and the clock is ticking, you need a tow truck on the way in minutes — not hours. SS Towing is owner-operated by Sam and on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
What it covers
Emergency towing is the rapid dispatch of a tow truck when your vehicle has broken down, will not start, or is otherwise unable to move under its own power. Unlike scheduled transport, emergency towing is time-critical — the goal is to get a professional truck to your location as fast as possible, make the scene safe, and transport your vehicle to a repairer, your home, or a storage facility.
