How Much Does a Tow Cost in Calera, AL?

The cost of a tow in Calera depends mostly on three things: the type of service, the distance, and how much extra work the situation needs. Call South Calera Towing at (205) 668-0298 and ask for a quote for your situation. Customers often mention our fair prices in their reviews – asking first is always better than a surprise at the roadside.

• The hook-up – a base charge for coming out, loading and securing the vehicle.
• Distance – how far we tow. Around town is one thing, a tow to Birmingham or Montgomery another.
• The vehicle – a car, a heavy pickup, a van or a piece of equipment.
• Extra work – winching out of a ditch, recovering a wrecked car, cleaning up debris, waiting at a scene.
• Where you are – the shoulder of I-65 takes more time and care than a driveway.
• Storage – if the car stays at our shop while you or the insurer decide.

A jump start, a tire change, a lockout or fuel delivery is a shorter visit with no tow, so it costs less. If it turns out the car needs a tow anyway, the truck is already there.

• Roadside assistance coverage on your auto policy, or a motor club, often pays for a tow up to a certain distance – or reimburses you.
• After a crash, collision coverage – or the other driver’s insurance – usually pays for towing and storage.
• Car warranties on newer vehicles sometimes include roadside assistance.

Call the number on your card first and ask whether they will pay a local company. If their provider can’t come, or would take hours, call us – and keep our receipt for reimbursement.

All major credit cards accepted on the scene. You get a receipt with every tow.

• A company that won’t give you any price on the phone.
• “Call centers” with a local-looking website but no local address – they forward your call to whoever is free and add their fee.
• A tow truck that shows up at a wreck without being called and pushes you to sign.

We are a local, family-run company at 1090 14th Street in Calera, and we answer our own phone.
