On-Site Repairs

Roadside Assistance in Memphis, TN

Half the cars we are called about do not need a tow at all. They need twenty minutes and the right tool.

Calling is fastest. A live dispatcher answers at any hour, nights, weekends and holidays.

Price before we roll

The full figure on the phone, not a surprise on arrival.

The right truck

Flatbed for AWD, EVs and lowered cars, because that is the only correct way.

Fixed Where It Sits, Not Towed Where It Does Not Need to Go

A tow is the expensive answer to a problem that is often much smaller. A battery that will not crank, a tyre losing air on Poplar, keys visible on the driver’s seat behind a locked door, a fuel gauge that was optimistic, none of these require a flatbed. They require a technician with jumper packs, a floor jack, a lockout kit and a fuel can.

Memphis Towing Now runs roadside assistance across the metro precisely so that drivers do not pay for towing they do not need. If we can get you moving on the spot, we do. If we cannot, the truck is already there and we tow, but that is the second option, not the first.

We cover parking garages downtown, office lots along the Poplar corridor, apartment complexes in Cordova and Midtown, the retail lots around Wolfchase and Southaven, and the shoulders of every interstate in the metro.

What a Roadside Call Actually Involves

A jump start is not just clamping a pack to a battery. If the vehicle starts and then dies again in ten minutes, the battery was not the problem, the alternator was, and you need a tow, not a jump. Our technicians check whether the charging system is holding before they leave you, so you do not end up calling twice in one evening.

The same logic applies to tyres. We fit your spare and check its pressure, because a spare that has been in the boot since the car was new is frequently flat itself. If you have no usable spare, no jack, or a locking wheel nut with no key, say so on the phone, that changes what we bring.

Frequently asked questions

Is roadside assistance cheaper than a tow?

Almost always, because it is a shorter job with no mileage attached. A jump start or a tyre change is a fraction of what it costs to load a car and haul it across the city, which is exactly why it is worth calling before assuming you need a tow.

Do I need a membership?

No. Motor clubs work on annual subscriptions; we work per call. If you already have AAA or roadside coverage through your insurer or your vehicle’s warranty, use it. It is paid for. If you do not, or if you would rather not wait in a national queue, call us directly.

My car starts with a jump but dies again. What now?

That is the classic alternator signature. The battery is being drained faster than it is charged, and another jump will buy you the same ten minutes. At that point a tow to a shop is the cheaper decision, and our technician will tell you so rather than jumping it a second time.

Can you open a locked car without damaging it?

Yes. Proper lockout tools work through the door seal to reach the lock mechanism or the interior handle. Coat hangers and wedges bend door frames and crack weather seals, which is a far more expensive repair than the lockout call.
