Towing Service You Can Actually Reach

If you’re stranded on Interstate 90, State Route 17, or anywhere around Moses Lake, you don’t need a sales pitch — you need someone who can get to you and get you moving again. That’s what we do. We’re a local towing service based in Moses Lake, Washington, covering the city itself and the smaller communities within a short drive — not a national call center routing your job to whoever bids lowest.

Moses Lake sits where I-90 and State Route 17 cross, with State Route 171 and I-90 Business running through downtown. That intersection carries a lot of traffic — commuters, farm equipment during harvest, semi trucks hauling freight, and weekend lake traffic pulling boats and trailers. We know these roads, we know where cell signal drops out on the rural stretches, and we know what a breakdown here actually looks like — because it’s not the same as a breakdown in a big city.

Whether it’s a flat tire on your way to work, a transmission that gave out in July heat, or your car got stuck after a dust storm rolled through, we handle it.

Who We Help

We work with a wide range of drivers around Moses Lake — not just one type of breakdown.

  • Drivers stranded on I-90 or SR-17 — day or night, local or passing through.
  • Local residents — across Moses Lake and nearby communities who need a straightforward, fair-priced tow.
  • Insurance and AAA-dispatched customers — who want a towing company that actually shows up on time.
  • Boat, RV, and trailer owners — heading to or from the lake.
  • Farmers and equipment operators — who need heavier towing during planting and harvest season.
  • Out-of-town visitors — unfamiliar with the area who just need clear directions and an honest ETA.

Should I call my insurance or a local tow truck directly?

If you have roadside assistance through your insurer or AAA, that coverage can lower your out-of-pocket cost — but calls often route through a national dispatch center, which adds wait time. Calling us directly usually gets a real truck moving faster in Moses Lake. Read the full comparison →

Why Moses Lake Drivers Call Moses Lake Towing & Recovery

We tell you the truth about timing. The biggest complaint we hear about other tow experiences in this area isn’t price — it’s not knowing what’s actually happening. You’ll know your driver’s ETA and get a call if anything changes.

Two things cause a disproportionate share of breakdowns here: wind-driven dust storms on I-90 and black ice on clear winter nights — most towing sites in this area never mention either one. See the full I-90 Roadside Guide for what to do.

Know Before You Need Us

How do I know a towing company isn’t predatory or unlicensed?

Ask for the driver’s DOT number and get pricing confirmed before the hook-up — legitimate operators quote up front and never demand cash-only payment on the spot. We’re licensed and insured for local dispatch. Full checklist for spotting predatory towing →

What should I do while I’m waiting for the tow truck?

A few basics that keep you safe and make the pickup faster:

  • Move to a safe location if you can do so without risk
  • Turn on your hazard lights
  • Stay with your vehicle unless it’s unsafe to do so
  • Keep your phone charged and note your mile marker or nearest cross street
  • Don’t try to free a vehicle stuck on ice yourself — wait for the truck

If your insurance includes roadside/towing coverage, we can bill directly in most cases; if you’re paying out of pocket, we’ll tell you the estimate before the truck leaves.
