Roadside Help Built for How Indiana Drives

Indianapolis is where I-65, I-69, I-70 and I-74 converge, so the state's interstates carry commuters, freight trucks and road-trippers in the same lanes. That mix creates the problems Tow-Tow handles every day: a blown tire on a busy shoulder, a battery that quits after a hard freeze, a car that slides into a snowy ditch up north, or a tow to a trusted shop when you're far from home.

Tow-Tow is a booking platform, not a single tow yard. Tell us where you are and what happened, and we connect you with an available operator in our partner network who has the right equipment for the job. You review the price first, then track the operator on the way.

From Indianapolis rush hour to a two-lane state road in farm country, the request takes the same few taps.

Roadside Services for Every Kind of Breakdown

Pick the service that matches your problem. Not sure what's wrong? Choose towing and the operator can assess it on site.

Towing for Breakdowns and Accidents

Engine trouble on I-70 or damage after a fender-bender? Request a flatbed or wheel-lift tow to your home, a repair shop or a dealer. Tell us your vehicle type so the operator brings the right truck, whether you drive an AWD SUV, a sedan or a pickup.

Flat Tire Change

Freeze-thaw cycles leave potholes that are hard on tires. An operator comes to you and mounts your spare so you can drive to a tire shop. No usable spare? Switch the request to a tow so you aren't waiting twice.

Battery Boost

Cold mornings are when weak batteries finally give out. Request a jump-start in your driveway, a work lot or on the shoulder. If the car won't hold a charge, book a tow to a shop from the same app.

Stuck in Snow or Mud

Lake-effect snow in northern Indiana and soft shoulders after heavy rain can leave wheels spinning. A winch-out pulls your vehicle back onto solid ground. If it needs repair afterward, a tow can follow.

Lockout Assistance

Keys locked inside at a stadium lot, campus garage or gas station? An operator works to get you back in without forcing the door. Keep your ID handy, since operators may ask for proof the vehicle is yours.

Fuel Delivery

Rural stretches between exits can be longer than the gauge suggests. Request enough fuel to reach the next station, delivered to where you stopped. Confirm your fuel type in the request.

Also available: accident pickup and junk car removal.

How Tow-Tow Works

Four steps from the shoulder to back on the road.

01

Request Help

Open the Tow-Tow app or tap Request Service on the website. Choose the service you need, or pick towing if you're not sure what's wrong.

02

Share Your Location and Vehicle

Drop a pin or enter the nearest exit or mile marker, plus your vehicle's make, model and what happened. On interstates, the mile marker is the fastest way to be found.

03

Review Your Quote

See the price before anyone is dispatched. Approve it, and an available operator nearby takes the job.

04

Track and Get Moving

Follow the operator's location and arrival estimate. They fix the problem on site or tow your vehicle to the place you choose.

Why Drivers Choose Tow-Tow

Pay Per Use, No Membership

Pay for the service you need when you need it. That helps if your insurance plan lacks roadside coverage, you're in a borrowed car, or you're only passing through Indiana.

Price Before Dispatch

Your quote appears before an operator heads your way, so you decide with the full number in front of you, not after the hook-up.

One App, Six Services

Towing, tires, jump-starts, lockouts, fuel and winch-outs share one request flow. If a jump-start doesn't solve it, switching to a tow takes a few taps.

The Right Truck for Your Vehicle

Tell us if you drive a sedan, AWD SUV, pickup or motorcycle. Your request goes to operators with suitable equipment, such as a flatbed for all-wheel-drive and low-clearance cars.

Checked Operators

Operators in the Tow-Tow network pass background, licensing and equipment checks before they take jobs, so a stranger on the shoulder is someone who has been vetted.

Wait Safely, Not by the Road

Live location and arrival updates let you wait inside your vehicle with your seatbelt on, instead of standing near traffic watching for a truck.

Requesting Roadside Help Across Indiana

You can submit a request from anywhere in the state, whether you're on the Indianapolis beltway, in the Region near Chicago, in a college town or on a rural state road. Whether an operator can reach you depends on who is available nearby at that moment. The quickest way to find out is to enter your location in the request form.

Roads where Indiana drivers often need help

Service availability may vary by location, time, traffic, weather and nearby operator availability.

What to Do If Your Car Breaks Down in Indiana

A breakdown at interstate speed is different from one in a parking lot. These steps keep you safer while help is on the way.

Get safe first

  1. Steer onto the right shoulder, or take the next exit if the car still moves. Avoid stopping on a bridge, a curve or in a travel lane.
  2. Turn on your hazard lights right away.
  3. Stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt on unless that is unsafe. Don't walk along the interstate.
  4. Note the nearest mile marker, exit number or cross street. It's how an operator finds you.
  5. Call 911 if anyone is hurt, your car is stuck in a lane, or you see smoke. Then request a tow.
Disabled car with hazard lights on as traffic moves over a lane

Indiana's Move Over law protects stopped drivers

Since a 2023 update, drivers approaching any stationary vehicle with flashing lights, including a disabled car, must move over a lane. If they can't, they must slow to 10 mph below the posted limit. Your hazard lights are what tell them the rule applies.

On the Indiana Toll Road (I-80/90)

The toll road's operator asks stranded drivers to pull onto the shoulder, turn on hazards, raise the hood, stay inside and dial 911 in an emergency. It also sets a two-hour limit for disabled vehicles, and abandoned vehicles are towed off the road. Arrange help promptly, and mention the toll road and your mile marker when you request it.

State safety patrols in three metro areas

INDOT's Hoosier Helpers patrol 177 miles of interstate around Indianapolis, near Gary and near Louisville. They can change a flat, add a small amount of fuel and handle minor fixes; reach them at 855-INDOT4U (463-6848). If your car needs to go to a repair shop, you'll still need a tow.

Winter in northern Indiana

Lake-effect snow off Lake Michigan can bury the north fast. In January 2026, a single band dropped about 20 inches in La Porte County and 17 in South Bend, and multi-vehicle crashes were reported on the Toll Road and northern I-69. Check 511 Indiana or the INDOT TrafficWise app before you leave. Keep your phone charged and a blanket in the car, and expect weak batteries to fail on the coldest mornings.

Common Questions About Roadside Help

Tap Request Roadside Assistance on this page or open the Tow-Tow app. Choose the service you need, share your location (on an interstate, add the nearest mile marker) and enter your vehicle details. You'll see a quote before anyone is dispatched. Once you approve it, you can track your operator as they head to you.

You can submit a request at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays. Whether an operator can take the job depends on who is available near you at that moment, along with weather and demand. Rural areas and severe winter storms can mean fewer operators nearby.

Arrival times vary with your location, traffic, weather, demand and how many operators are nearby. A lake-effect snow band in the north or rush hour on I-465 can add time. Once an operator accepts your request, the app shows their live location and estimated arrival.

The price depends on the service, your vehicle, the time of day and, for tows, the distance to your destination. You see a quote before an operator is dispatched, so you can decide with the price in front of you instead of finding out at drop-off.

The toll road's operator says motor club service is available along most of the road on request, and it limits disabled vehicles to two hours before towing. Pull onto the shoulder, turn on your hazards and stay inside. When you request help, mention you're on I-80/90 and give your mile marker.
