When you call, tell us exactly where you are: the road, your direction and the nearest exit or cross street.

These are the situations drivers in Portsmouth call us about most, and what we do for each one.
We jump start it in the parking lot or on the street. If the battery or starter has failed, we tow it to your mechanic. If the vehicle is inside the Norfolk Naval Shipyard or another secured area, tell us when you call; access follows base rules, and we can’t enter restricted areas without access.
Tell us how tight the spot is, whether cars are parked close on both sides, and whether the street is one-way. We bring a truck that can load the vehicle safely, and we use wheel dollies when a car has to be moved out of a tight space before it goes on the truck.
Move to the right shoulder or take the next exit, turn on your hazards and stay buckled in. Give us your direction and the nearest exit. If you’re inside the Downtown Tunnel, don’t get out and walk; follow the tunnel steps below and call us once the vehicle is moved to a safe spot.
After police have cleared the scene, we flatbed the vehicle to your body shop, the shop your insurance company prefers, or your home. Take photos and remove your valuables, registration and insurance card first. If you don’t know where it should go yet, we can tow it home so you can decide later.
We tow non-running cars to a shop, a buyer, a storage spot or a new address. Tell us whether it rolls and steers, whether the tires hold air, and whether the keys are with it. A flatbed or wheel dollies handle cars that have sat in a driveway or backyard for a long time.
