It depends on the equipment and time needed to get the job done correctly, along with the distance that the appropriate truck must travel to complete the job. Local tows that do not require a flatbed and will be paid via cash start at just $50.Flatbed tows start at just $55. A mileage fee is added to this base rate, which is variable based on current fuel costs.

We ask questions when you call to determine which equipment will be required in order to provide an accurate price quote. You pay what we say...Guaranteed! We never change the price on you once the truck arrives.

This depends on your location, equipment requirements, and call volume when you call. Average response time in Fort Myers is 30 minutes or less, with outlying areas receiving service in about 45 minutes. Our fleet is GPS tracked and drivers are required to start response within minutes to ensure that we provide the most prompt service possible.

Calls are prioritized according to the safety level of your location. Therefore, a tow from your home may take slightly longer and roadside service is usually a little quicker.

No, but someone should be there as a witness and because we will often need the keys to tow it properly.

We perform a walkaround inspection of your vehicle before providing service that must be witnessed before service is started and again when service is completed. If you're not available, you may designate a keyholder(s) to act on your behalf. If no one is available to receive the keys and witness the vehicle condition when service is completed, we will not be liable for potential losses or damages that occur when a vehicle is left unattended at any location.

If you still need us to tow an unattended vehicle, we must receive Email authorization at TowRequest@swFLtowing.com including your name and contact information, along with vehicle year, make, model, color, and license tag number. The Email should also include the pick-up and drop-off locations. Call us to advise where we can find keys for the vehicle, which are often required for safe loading and unloading onto the tow truck.

Unfortunately,our area currently does NOT mandate tow operator training, nor insurance minimums, for private, consentual towing. Anyone with a drivers license and basic liability insurance can legally tow your vehicle, though this does not make them an experienced professional: Much like a person holding a wrench isn't necessarily a certified mechanic! It also does not adequately protect your vehicle from damages or guarantee repairs in case of accident. This is something that we are trying to change through local and state legislation, but in the meantime we continue to maintain high standards for our employees and our company.

10-EIGHT is a member of the Professional Wrecker Operators of Florida. All uniformed employees obtain national certification within one year of employment and we do not allow new hires to independently provide service without first being supervised in the field by a certified operator. Additionally, we carry insurance specifically for your vehicle in addition to the automotive and general liability insurance. All together, 10-EIGHT is backed by a $2 million insurance policy.

Yes. Even if your vehicle is in the roadway, you have the right to owner request any company that is capable of providing a reasonable response time (usually within 30 minutes). Let the officer on-scene know that you are requesting your own tow truck and call us immediately. You can also take your vehicle to any repair facility you choose, regardless of your insurance company's recommendation.

We work with many insurance companies and reputable collision repair facilities to direct bill collision towing charges. This way, tow charges roll into your repair bill - thus requiring nothing out of pocket from you until you pay your deductible.

If you have an accident: Don't wait, call 10-EIGHT at 1-877-869-2048.

Contact the law enforcement agency in your area. All non-consentual tows and repossessions must be reported. An additional benefit of doing this is that you can file a theft report if the vehicle has not been towed.

As a professional towing service, we abide by State and National laws regarding vehicle destruction. As such, we incur many expenses that owner-operators with a 'truck and trailer' operation may not recognize, but the legal process is one that protects you against any potential liability in the future.

The legal junk car destruction process involves having a truck report to our office to get payment and legal documents for transfer of your vehicle, responding a licensed truck and certified operator to your location, verifying and completing paperwork required for destruction and title transfer, properly securing and towing the vehicle back to our secure storage facility until a Certificate of Destruction (CD) is issued by the Tax Collector, processing the CD through NMVTIS to ensure that you are protected against fraudulent use of your vehicle (in case it is later put on the road or used by a "chop shop", then transporting the vehicle to a salvage yard for destuction.

Also, we pay what we say...Guaranteed! The call taker will ask questions about your vehicle to determine fair market value after considering our expenses. Depending on the value of steel and pickup location, we pay between $200 and $400 per vehicle. The number we give you will not change, unless the information that you provided to us was incorrect.
