A flat on I-65, a battery that quit after a hot afternoon, or keys locked in the car at the beach. Request towing or roadside help through Tow-Tow, share your location, and get connected with an available operator near you, day or night.
Why Tow-Tow in Alabama
Alabama drivers cover a lot of ground. Commutes funnel onto I-65 and I-20/59 around Birmingham, Huntsville traffic feeds I-565, and summer weekends push beach traffic south toward the Gulf. Between the metros, long stretches of interstate and two-lane highway can leave you miles from the next exit when something goes wrong.
Tow-Tow lets you request help from your phone instead of hunting for a local number on the shoulder. Tell us what happened (a flat, a dead battery, a lockout, an empty tank, or a car that won't move) and share where you are. We connect you with an available roadside operator for that job, whether you need a quick fix to keep driving or a tow to a shop or home.
Breakdowns don't keep business hours. Send a request day or night, weekends and holidays included.
Towing, tire changes, jump-starts, lockouts, fuel delivery, and accident towing in one place.
GPS location sharing helps the operator find you, even on a stretch of road you don't know.
Review the service and pricing details in the app before you book.
Services
Pick the problem, share your location, and we'll find an operator equipped for that job.
When your car won't start or isn't safe to drive, request a tow to a repair shop, dealership, or your home. Share your vehicle type so the right truck is sent, including a flatbed where one is needed and available.
Learn about towing →Potholes, road debris, and summer heat are hard on tires. An operator can swap your flat for your spare so you can drive to a tire shop. No usable spare? Switch the request to a tow.
Get flat tire help →Heat wears batteries down, and a car that clicks but won't turn over is one of the most common roadside calls. Request a jump-start; if the battery won't hold a charge, a tow to a shop is the next step.
Get a jump-start →Keys locked inside at a gas station, a stadium lot, or a trailhead? Request lockout help and a technician will work to open your vehicle with proper entry tools. You may be asked to show ID before the car is opened.
Request lockout help →Running dry between exits on a long rural stretch happens fast. Request fuel delivery to get enough gas to reach the next station, and tell us your fuel type when you book.
Get fuel delivered →After a crash, check for injuries and call 911 first. Once the scene is safe and police are done, request a tow to move your vehicle to a shop or a place you choose.

Why Tow-Tow
Instead of calling towing companies one by one from the side of the road, send one request with your location and problem already attached.
See which service you're requesting and its pricing details before you confirm, so there are fewer surprises once the operator arrives.
Most roadside problems come down to a tire, a battery, keys, fuel, or a car that needs moving. Tow-Tow handles each of them from the same app.
Visitors heading to the coast or passing through on I-65 often don't know the nearest exit. GPS location sharing gives the operator a precise pickup point.
A late drive home after a game or an early commute: request help whenever you need it. Operator availability varies by time and area.
Coverage
You can send a Tow-Tow request from anywhere in Alabama: a downtown parking deck, an interstate shoulder, or a county road between towns. When your request comes in, we look for available operators near your location and connect you with one who can handle the job.
Service availability may vary by location, time, traffic, weather, and nearby operator availability. In rural areas the closest operator may be farther away, so plan for a longer wait and stay in a safe spot.
Safety guide
A few Alabama-specific rules and road conditions shape what you should do in the first minutes after a breakdown.
If you can still steer, ease onto the right shoulder or take the next exit; a parking lot beats any shoulder. Alabama's Quick Clearance Law requires drivers in a minor, injury-free crash to move a drivable vehicle out of the travel lanes to the shoulder or another safe area. If anyone is hurt or the car can't move, call 911 and wait for responders.
Under Alabama's John Hubbard Move Over Act, approaching drivers must move over a lane, or slow to at least 15 mph below the posted limit when they can't, for stopped emergency vehicles, wreckers, and vehicles displaying flashing lights. The law is named for a tow operator killed in 2016 while helping a stranded driver on I-20/59 in Tuscaloosa County. Still, stand well away from traffic, ideally behind a guardrail. If there's nowhere safe to stand, stay in the car with your seatbelt on.
Note the interstate, your direction, and the nearest mile marker or exit sign. On rural highways, a crossroad or business name helps. Sharing your GPS location in the Tow-Tow app gives the operator an exact pickup point.
ALDOT's Alabama Service and Assistance Patrol (ASAP) runs free patrols on busy interstate sections in the Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, Mobile, and Tuscaloosa regions. ASAP operators can help with a jump-start, a tire change, or water for an overheated engine. But ASAP is not a towing service, doesn't run around the clock in most areas, and puts lane-blocking crashes first. If you need a tow, you're outside a patrol area, or it's after hours, request a tow through Tow-Tow.
