Frequently Asked Questions

All questions

Are you open 24/7?

Yes. Titan Tow & Repair answers the phone and dispatches trucks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — nights, weekends, and holidays included.

Do you run on holidays and during snowstorms?

Yes. Holidays and winter storms are our busiest calls. We staff dispatch and wreckers through Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, and every ice event in between.

How do I get the fastest response?

Call dispatch at (816) 888-8732 directly instead of using a form. Have the vehicle type, exact location (highway + mile marker or cross street), and whether you're blocking traffic ready when we pick up.

How much does towing cost?

Light-duty tows are billed with a hook fee plus a per-mile rate. Heavy-duty tows and recoveries are billed by equipment, mileage, and time on scene. Call for a scene-specific quote — we quote up front, not after the fact.

How much does heavy-duty towing cost in Kansas City?

Heavy-duty rates depend on the wrecker class needed (standard heavy vs. Landoll), miles from Liberty, MO, recovery work (winching, uprighting, dollies), and scene time. Fleet and insurance rates are available for established accounts.

Do you accept credit cards, insurance, and motor clubs?

Yes to all three. We take major credit cards on scene, work with commercial insurance and fleet POs, and accept motor-club dispatches. Have your card, policy, or member number ready when you call.

Is there an after-hours or weekend surcharge?

Our base rate is the same around the clock — we don't punish drivers for breaking down at 2 a.m. Any extra cost comes from actual work performed (recovery, extra equipment), not the hour on the clock.

How fast can a tow truck reach me in Liberty, MO?

Local Liberty and Clay County calls typically reach the scene in 15–25 minutes. Metro-wide ETAs vary with traffic and weather — call for a live ETA.

What areas do you serve?

Titan Tow & Repair covers a 50-mile heavy-duty and mobile semi/trailer service radius from Liberty, MO — Liberty, Kansas City MO & KS, North Kansas City, Gladstone, Kearney, Smithville, Independence, Blue Springs, Lee's Summit, Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee, Leavenworth, Platte City, Excelsior Springs, and every town in between along I-35, I-435, I-70, I-29, I-470, and US-69. Light-duty (car/SUV/pickup) towing is offered within 25 miles of the office.

Do you tow all the way to Olathe or Gardner, KS?

Yes — heavy-duty and mobile semi repair reach the full 50-mile radius, including Olathe, Gardner, Spring Hill, and De Soto. Light-duty car tows in that corridor fall outside our 25-mile light-duty radius, so those are served by heavy or mobile units only.

Do you cover the Kansas City airport (MCI) area?

Yes. Platte City, Ferrelview, and the KCI cargo/service roads are inside our regular run zone via I-29 and MO-152. Truck breakdowns at the freight terminals and hotel row are frequent calls.

Which highways do you cover most?

I-35, I-435, I-70, I-29, I-470, I-635, US-69, US-71, US-169, MO-152, MO-291, K-7, and K-10 — plus every truck stop, weigh station, and industrial park feeding them.

Do you tow semi trucks and trailers?

Yes. We run heavy wreckers for tractors, trailers, box trucks, RVs, and buses, plus mobile repair trucks for on-scene semi & trailer work — brakes, air, lights, tires, DOT items.

Who does mobile semi truck repair near me in Kansas City?

Titan Tow & Repair runs fully-stocked mobile repair units across the Kansas City metro and NW Missouri — brakes, air lines, glad hands, lights, 7-way wiring, tires, jump-starts, and DOT fixes, 24/7.

Do you handle DOT inspection failures?

Yes. We travel to the scale, shoulder, or truck stop to correct out-of-service items so drivers can clear inspection and continue their run instead of waiting for a shop bay.

Can you upright an overturned semi or trailer?

Yes. We handle uprighting, load shifts, ditch recoveries, and accident scenes with proper rigging and winch equipment. Call dispatch — we'll match the right wrecker class to the scene.

Do you do winch-outs from ditches, mud, or snow?

Yes. Winch-outs from ditches, muddy job sites, snow banks, and stuck loading docks are a daily call — especially in winter and after spring storms. Cars, pickups, and semis.

Do you jump-start dead batteries and change flat tires?

Yes. Jump-starts, tire changes, lockouts, and fuel delivery are standard roadside services — for passenger vehicles inside our light-duty radius and for semis anywhere in the heavy-duty radius.

Do you tow RVs, buses, and box trucks?

Yes. Class A motorhomes, transit buses, school buses, box trucks, dump trucks, and loaded commercial trailers — our heavy wreckers are rated for the weight. Give dispatch the length and weight up front.

Can you tow an all-wheel-drive or 4x4 vehicle?

Yes. AWD and 4x4 vehicles go on a flatbed to protect the drivetrain — never a wheel-lift for those. That's the standard call, no upcharge for doing it right.

Do you tow electric vehicles (EV / Tesla)?

Yes. EVs go on a flatbed only — wheel-lift towing damages EV drivetrains. Our flatbeds handle Tesla, Rivian, Ford Lightning, and other EVs safely.

My car broke down on I-35 / I-435 — what do I do?

Get to the shoulder if you can, put on hazards, stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt on, and call (816) 888-8732. Give the interstate, direction of travel, and nearest exit or mile marker. We'll roll a truck and coordinate with MoDOT/KDOT if the lane needs blocked.

Do you handle accident tows and work with police?

Yes. We respond to accident scenes for both light and heavy vehicles, coordinate with police, KHP, MHP, and DOT, and can run rotation calls when dispatched by law enforcement.

Do you have storage for wrecked or impounded vehicles?

Yes. Our Liberty, MO facility has secure short- and long-term storage for cars, trucks, semis, and trailers post-accident or during insurance/investigation holds.

Do you accept fleet accounts?

Yes. Fleets and owner-operators get priority dispatch, PO-based invoicing, itemized repair documentation, and consistent rates across the whole metro. Set up an account before you need us.

Can you tow to my shop or a specific dealer?

Yes. Tell dispatch the drop address — a repair shop, dealer, fleet yard, residence, or our Liberty storage lot — and the driver confirms it on scene before hooking up.

What's the phone number for Titan Tow & Repair?

(816) 888-8732. Dispatch is answered 24/7.

Where is Titan Tow & Repair located?

2751 Liberty Landing Rd., Liberty, MO 64068 — just off I-35 in Clay County. We dispatch from this location across the Kansas City metro.

What are your hours today?

Open right now — 24 hours a day, every day of the year. There is no closing time, no answering service, and no callback queue. Call and a live dispatcher picks up.

Are you the closest tow truck to me?

If you're inside the Kansas City metro, Northland, Liberty, Kearney, Excelsior Springs, Smithville, Independence, Blue Springs, Lee's Summit, or the JoCo KS corridor (Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee, Gardner, Spring Hill), we're one of the closest heavy-duty and mobile semi repair options. Call dispatch and we'll give a live ETA before you commit.

Who is the best heavy-duty tow company near me in Kansas City?

Titan Tow & Repair is a top-rated heavy-duty wrecker service in the KC metro — 4.8★ on Google, 24/7 dispatch, and mobile semi/trailer repair in the same truck. Based in Liberty, MO and running the full 50-mile radius.

Who has the fastest tow truck response in the Northland?

For Liberty, Kearney, Gladstone, North Kansas City, Smithville, and Excelsior Springs, our typical on-scene time is 15–25 minutes because our yard is on Liberty Landing Rd. — inside the Northland, not driving in from downtown.

Is there a 24-hour semi repair shop near Kansas City?

Yes — Titan Tow & Repair runs mobile semi repair 24/7 across the Kansas City metro and NW Missouri. We come to the truck stop, shoulder, weigh station, or yard instead of you limping a truck into a bay.

Do you have same-day service?

Yes. Every call is same-day — usually same-hour. There is no scheduling backlog for tows or roadside; heavy repairs on scene are dispatched immediately and completed in one visit when parts allow.

Do you offer free tow quotes?

Yes. Quotes over the phone are free and we don't charge to look. Give dispatch the vehicle type, location, and destination and you'll get a live price before a truck rolls.

How much does a tow truck cost per mile in Kansas City?

Light-duty per-mile rates in the KC metro generally run in the low double-digits per loaded mile on top of a hook fee. Heavy-duty per-mile is higher and depends on wrecker class. Call for a firm number tied to your route.

How much is a jump-start or lockout?

Roadside services (jump-start, lockout, tire change, fuel drop) are flat-rate for passenger vehicles inside our light-duty radius. Semi roadside is priced by call because equipment and location vary. Ask when you call — no hidden fees on the invoice.

Do you offer discounts for AAA, insurance, or motor clubs?

We work directly with commercial insurance, fleet accounts, and motor-club networks. If you're a member, give dispatch the club or policy number when you call and we'll bill through their network when eligible.

Do you charge extra at night or on weekends?

No. Our base rate does not change by hour of day, day of week, or holiday. Extra cost only comes from actual work performed — extra equipment, winching, recovery time.

Do you tow during ice storms and blizzards?

Yes. Winter storms are our busiest days. We run chains, salt, and heavy wreckers built for ice — most calls are pull-outs from ditches, medians, and stuck trailers on I-35 and I-435.

Can you help if my semi jackknifed in the snow?

Yes. Jackknifed tractors, trailers folded in medians, and snow-bank recoveries are standard winter calls. We bring air cushions, dollies, and proper rigging for the load.

What do I do if I hydroplane or slide off during a storm?

Turn on hazards, stay buckled, don't stand outside near traffic, and call (816) 888-8732. Give the interstate, direction of travel, and nearest exit or mile marker. We coordinate with MoDOT/KDOT if a lane has to be blocked.

Do you tow on I-70 through Kansas City?

Yes. I-70 from the Kansas line through Downtown, the Truman Sports Complex, Independence, Blue Springs, Grain Valley, and Oak Grove is a daily route for our heavy wreckers and mobile repair units.

Do you cover I-35 north to Cameron?

Yes. I-35 from Downtown KC through the Northland, Liberty (Exit 16), Kearney, and up toward Cameron is our home corridor — response times north of Liberty are among our fastest in the metro.

Can you reach truck stops on I-29 and I-435?

Yes. TA, Pilot, Flying J, Loves, and independent truck stops along I-29 (Platte City, KCI, Faucett) and the full I-435 loop are on our regular run list for both towing and mobile repair.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We carry commercial auto liability, on-hook and garagekeepers coverage on the wreckers, and general liability on the shop. Certificates of insurance are available for fleet and broker accounts on request.

Are you a DOT-registered carrier?

Yes. We operate under active USDOT/MC authority for commercial towing and recovery, and we work daily with MoDOT, KDOT, MHP, KHP, and municipal PD for accident scenes and rotation calls.

Do you provide itemized invoices for insurance claims?

Yes. Every invoice itemizes truck class, mileage, on-scene labor, equipment, storage days, and any subrogation-relevant detail — formatted for insurance adjusters and fleet safety departments.

Can I text you instead of calling?

Yes. Text (816) 888-8732 for non-emergency scheduling, quotes, or to send a photo of the scene. For active emergencies, please call — voice is fastest for a live dispatch.

Do you send a text with driver name and ETA?

Yes. Dispatch texts the driver's name, truck number, and live ETA once a truck is assigned so you know exactly who's rolling up.

Can someone else authorize the tow if I can't wait on scene?

Yes. Give dispatch the vehicle owner's name and callback number and we can coordinate keys, drop location, and payment remotely. Common for fleets, parents of young drivers, and shop-to-shop transfers.

What's the difference between light-duty and heavy-duty towing?

Light-duty covers cars, SUVs, and most pickups on a flatbed or wheel-lift. Heavy-duty covers semis, loaded trailers, box trucks, RVs, buses, and dumps — requires a Class 7/8 wrecker rated for the axle weight. We run both.

Flatbed vs wheel-lift — which do I need?

AWD, 4x4, low-clearance, luxury, and EV vehicles need a flatbed to protect the drivetrain and bodywork. Standard 2WD cars can safely go on a wheel-lift. When in doubt we default to flatbed — no upcharge for doing it right.

Should I call a tow truck or a mobile mechanic?

If the truck is on the shoulder with a fixable issue (air leak, blown light, dead battery, flat tire, minor brake fault), a mobile repair unit is faster and cheaper than a tow. If the failure is drivetrain, engine, or unsafe to move, we tow. Same phone number either way.

Who is the cheapest tow company in Kansas City?

The cheapest quote isn't always the cheapest bill — rock-bottom online rates usually exclude the hook fee or add per-mile bumps. Our quote is all-in: the number you're told on the phone is the number on the invoice. Compare full quotes, not headline rates.

Who tows semi trucks in Kansas City?

Titan Tow & Repair in Liberty, MO runs Class 7/8 heavy wreckers for tractors, loaded trailers, RVs, buses, and box trucks — 24/7 across a 50-mile radius covering the whole KC metro.

Are you open on weekends and holidays?

Yes — Saturday, Sunday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve, and every ice storm between. There is no closing time. A live dispatcher answers the phone.

Do you tow Teslas and other EVs?

Yes. EVs go on a flatbed only — wheel-lift towing damages the drivetrain. Our flatbeds handle Tesla, Rivian, Ford Lightning, and other EVs safely.

How do I know if I need a flatbed vs a wheel-lift?

AWD, 4x4, low-clearance, luxury, and EV vehicles need a flatbed. Standard 2WD cars can safely go on a wheel-lift. When in doubt we default to flatbed — no upcharge for doing it right.

Can you tow a car with no keys, a locked steering wheel, or a dead battery?

Yes. Flatbed loading uses skates and a winch for vehicles that won't roll or steer. Common for stolen-recovery, repossession-adjacent, and long-parked vehicles.

Do you tow motorcycles, RVs, boats, and trailers?

Motorcycles on soft straps or a cradle; RVs on heavy wreckers rated for the length and axle weight; boats and trailers by their tongue with a hitch or heavy hook. Give dispatch weight and length when you call.

What information should I have ready when I call for a tow?

Vehicle type (car, pickup, semi, trailer), exact location (highway + mile marker or cross street), whether you're blocking traffic, drop location if known, and payment method. Everything else the dispatcher walks you through.

Do you handle accident scene cleanup?

Yes. We handle fluid absorption, glass and debris sweep, and coordinate with MoDOT/KDOT/PD when a lane needs blocking. Documented for the insurance file.

How much notice do you need for a scheduled tow?

None — same-day is standard. Scheduled dealer transfers, storage-lot moves, and shop-to-shop hauls can be booked 24 hours out for a firm window.

Can you tow out of a parking garage or a low-clearance structure?

Yes. We use low-profile flatbeds and wheel-lifts with clearance under 7 ft when the garage or drive-through requires it. Tell dispatch the ceiling height.

What areas outside the 50-mile radius do you cover?

We take longer runs by quote — Landoll transports, insurance haul-backs, and heavy recoveries beyond the 50-mile radius are common. Call with the origin and destination and we'll quote the whole trip.
