Frequently asked questions
How much does a tow cost?
Towing is priced by distance and the equipment your vehicle needs. Call (813) 397-7632 with your pickup and drop-off locations and we will quote the job before we dispatch. No hidden fees.
Can you tow a car that does not start or roll?
Yes. We carry equipment for vehicles that will not start, are stuck in park, or have locked wheels, and can winch a non-rolling vehicle onto the truck when needed.
Do you tow at night and on holidays?
Yes. Empire Towing Transportation dispatches 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays.
How far can you tow my car?
We tow locally across Tampa Bay and the surrounding counties, and longer runs are available on request. Tell us the pickup and drop-off and we will quote the distance before dispatch.
Can you tow from a parking garage or a tight driveway?
Often, yes. Tell us the clearance and the access when you call, and we will bring equipment that fits the space.
What should I do while I wait for the tow?
Put your hazards on and stay clear of traffic. Take your keys and phone with you, since you will not be able to get back into the vehicle once it is loaded.
Do you need my keys to tow the car?
Usually, yes, so we can unlock the steering and roll it onto the truck. If the keys are locked inside or lost, tell us when you call and we will bring tools to handle it.
Where will you take my car?
Anywhere you want it, as long as it is within our service range. Most drivers send it to their own mechanic or their home. Give us the drop-off address when you call so we can quote the distance.
Do I need my registration or ID for a regular tow?
It helps to have your ID and the registration, though the exact paperwork depends on the job. Call and we will tell you what to have ready before the truck arrives.
How do you choose between a flatbed and a wheel lift?
It comes down to the vehicle and how it needs to ride. Older cars, low-clearance vehicles and all-wheel drive often go on a flatbed. Tell us the make and model when you call.
Can you tow a car that was in an accident?
Yes. Tell us where it is and whether it still rolls, since an accident can lock the wheels or damage the steering. We can winch a damaged car onto the truck if it will not move.
What if the truck cannot get to where my car is parked?
Tell us about the tight spots when you call: low clearance, narrow lanes, gated lots. We will work out an approach, and if it truly cannot be reached we will say so instead of guessing.
