Comprehensive Roadside Assistance Services

Emergency Towing for All Vehicle Sizes

Tucson Truck Repair & Towing operates a versatile fleet designed to handle any recovery situation:

  • Heavy-Duty Wreckers: Our 35-ton wreckers safely recover disabled semi trucks without causing additional damage to your vehicle or cargo.
  • 50-Ton Rotators: These powerful units can haul both tractor and trailer together, reducing handling time and minimizing delays during transport.
  • Light to Heavy Coverage: Whether you’re driving a pickup or a fully loaded commercial rig, we have the right equipment to assist you anywhere in Southern Arizona.

On-Site Mobile Repairs

Many breakdowns don’t require a tow if addressed quickly at the location:

  • Tire Replacements: Our technicians carry everything needed for single tire changes up to full set replacements, getting you rolling again without waiting for a shop appointment.
  • Jump Starts and Battery Services: Heavy-duty trucks require specialized jump-start equipment that provides higher power output safely, and our team arrives fully prepared for these situations.
  • Diesel Engine Diagnostics: Using dealership-level diagnostic tools, our mechanics identify engine faults, transmission issues, and electrical problems right at the breakdown site.
  • Brake and Fuel System Repairs: From brake adjustments to emergency fuel delivery, we handle common roadside issues efficiently so you can complete your route.

24/7 Availability Across Southern Arizona

Breakdowns don’t follow a schedule, which is why Tucson Truck Repair & Towing operates around the clock with strategic coverage throughout the region. Our service area includes Tucson, Marana, Casa Grande, Willcox, Nogales, and surrounding communities, ensuring you’re never far from professional help on Arizona’s highways.

Staying Safe During a Breakdown

Knowing what to do while waiting for assistance can prevent accidents and injuries:

  • Move Off the Roadway: Pull into an emergency lane or as far off the shoulder as possible, avoiding blind curves where other drivers may not see you in time.
  • Activate Hazard Lights Immediately: This alerts approaching traffic that something is wrong and encourages drivers to slow down and change lanes.
  • Set Up Warning Devices: If you have reflective triangles or flares, place them at increasing distances behind your vehicle to give other drivers time to react.
  • Stay Inside When Possible: Your vehicle acts as a protective barrier from traffic, so remain inside with your seatbelt fastened unless you must exit for safety reasons.
  • Communicate Your Location Clearly: When calling for help, use GPS or smartphone apps to pinpoint your exact position, and describe your vehicle’s problem so technicians arrive with the right tools.
