Long-distance towing from Dallas.

Emergency dispatch is for a car that is stuck now, somewhere in the Dallas area. A haul to Austin, Houston, Oklahoma, or across the state is a different shape of job. The truck is committed for hours, the route matters, and the quote has to include the empty miles back unless there is a load the other way, which we will not pretend we have. Call with both addresses. A pickup in south Dallas and a drop at a shop in Waco is a number we can give. A pickup 'somewhere near Dallas' and a drop 'near Houston' is not.

All-wheel drive, a low car, a vehicle with a bad wheel, or anything you do not want bouncing on two tires for a few hundred miles should go on a flatbed. A running, front-wheel-drive car can travel on a wheel-lift for a shorter hop, and dispatch will say which they would actually use. Motorcycles, a second vehicle, or a car that will not go into neutral need to be mentioned before the truck is booked, because they change the equipment and the time at each end. We do not publish a per-mile card. The honest answer is the one given for your two addresses and your vehicle.

A long tow fails in boring ways: the destination shop is closed, nobody can sign, the car is blocked in a garage the flatbed cannot enter, or the keys are with a person who is already on a flight. Say who will meet the truck in Dallas and who will meet it at the other end. If the car is at 1241 Willow Glen's side of town or anywhere else in the metro, the pickup is the easy half. The drop is the half to plan. If you need it moved overnight, ask. Do not assume a long haul leaves the moment you hang up. Emergency calls in Dallas come first, and a planned trip is fitted around them.

Arlington, Fort Worth, Irving, and the southern suburbs are ordinary local tows from our Dallas base, even when the drive is a real one. Long-distance starts when the drop is outside that working area. If you are not sure which you are asking for, give both addresses and let dispatch sort it. A junk car that has to leave the state is the same conversation: distance, whether it rolls, and whether you can show you own it. The phone number is the same 24-hour line. For a planned haul, calling in the daytime just makes it easier to line up a shop's hours at the far end.
