How does towing work in Tempe?
The East Valley runs on the US-60 Superstition Freeway and Loops 101 and 202, with Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert and Queen Creek strung along them. ASU's Tempe campus and the Mill Avenue district turn student move-ins, game days and packed apartment lots into a steady run of private-property tows and lockouts, and the fast-growing Gilbert and Queen Creek edges add long pulls back to a yard. Each of these cities runs its own police impound and all of them charge the $150 state administrative fee.
Tempe holds 180,587 residents and is defined by Arizona State University, which packs the city with a dense, young, student-heavy fleet. That single fact shapes the work: apartment and private-lot tows run high, because students park in shared complexes with tenant rules and permit zones, and game days at Mountain America Stadium and nights on Mill Avenue add event and nightlife tows. The freeway picture is unusually busy for the city's size, with I-10, US 60 and Loops 101 and 202 all meeting here, so interchange crashes are steady in a county that logged 88,094 of them in 2024. Tempe Town Lake brings event parking, and Rural, Broadway and Apache with the light rail carry the rest of the traffic. About 22 percent of the city is Hispanic, so the Spanish version of this site is worth having even though it does not dominate. Heat is the reliable driver of no-starts and dead batteries: 2023 saw 133 days at or above 100 degrees in the metro, and a student's older car left in a lot over a break is a classic dead-battery call. On the legal side, a private-property tow in this part of the metro is capped by the city that governs the lot, and a police-ordered impound runs under the state 20-day law with its 150-dollar fee. The pros we send cover the ASU core, Mill Avenue, Town Lake and the freeway interchanges.
How much does towing cost in Tempe?
Every tow in Tempe is quoted before the truck rolls, and the number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice. A wheel lift and a flatbed are different prices because they are different jobs. Confirm the method for all-wheel drive, electric vehicles, and anything low-clearance, damaged or non-rolling.
After-hours work is quoted on the call, not added at the drop. If what you need is a jump start or an unlock rather than a tow, we will tell you that instead.

What towing services are available in Tempe?

What do Tempe residents ask about towing?
How soon can an operator arrive in Tempe?
It depends on where in Tempe you are and which operator is free, so nobody can honestly quote an arrival time before they know both. Farther addresses take more driving time. Ask the operator for a window when they take the job.
Do you have flatbeds for Tempe?
This brand owns no trucks. Tell us what you are driving and we line up an operator who can quote a flatbed when all-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, electric vehicles, or anything low-clearance, damaged or non-rolling needs all four wheels off the ground.
What about Tempe's US-60 traffic and the ASU apartment lots?
ASU packs Tempe with a dense student fleet, so apartment and lot tows run high, game days and Mill Avenue nights add event tows, and the freeway interchanges draw crashes. The assigned operator accounts for local road conditions, traffic and access.
How much will a tow cost in Tempe?
You get a price before an operator is dispatched, and that price is the price. Heavy-duty, long-distance and specialty work, motorcycle, RV and exotic, are quoted separately. If what you actually need is a jump start or an unlock, we will say so instead of selling you a tow.
How much does the city charge if my car is towed in Tempe?
Arizona has two separate bills and they are not the same. A police-ordered impound (the 20-day hold under ARS 28-3511, for a suspended license, no insurance or DUI) carries a $150 state administrative fee plus storage capped at $25 a day, and in Phoenix you pay the fee at the Vehicle Impound Unit, 100 W. Washington St., (602) 495-2096, then collect the car from the assigned tow yard. A private-property tow off a lot or apartment in Phoenix is capped by City Code 36-6 at $105 for the tow and $12 a day storage. Those are the government figures, not ours, and other Valley cities set their own.
