Stuck on the shoulder of US-33 west of town, keys shut in the trunk downtown, or nosed into a ditch on the grade up toward Huttonsville? Our wrecker crew works the Tygart Valley and the Cheat Mountain roads 24/7, every day, reaches every corner of Randolph County, and puts a real dispatcher on the line the moment you call — no phone menus, no runaround.
Just three quick steps — our Elkins crew takes it from there.
Dial (615) 241-0232. A live dispatcher picks up every time — no voicemail loop, no robots. Tell us where you're sitting and what went wrong.
We roll the truck that fits the job — roll-back flatbed or wheel-lift — straight to your spot in Elkins, out toward Beverly, or anywhere in Randolph County. You'll hear the price before we hook up.
Your vehicle rides to the shop, the dealership, or your own driveway — wherever you point us. What we quoted on the phone is what you pay when we unload.
From flatbed towing to fuel delivery, we cover it all across Randolph County — and we bring the right equipment for every job.
Roll-back flatbed hauling that keeps all four tires off the pavement — the right call for AWD and 4WD rigs, low-slung cars, and anything you'd rather not risk on a wheel-lift across Randolph County.
Flatbed Towing →Quick, no-fuss wheel-lift tows for everyday front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, ready to get you clear of a busy shoulder anywhere around Elkins in a hurry.
Wheel-Lift Towing →Keys shut in the car at the store lot or out on US-33? We pop the door open fast with the proper tools — no locksmith upcharge and no scratched paint.
Lockout Service →Battery won't turn over, tire's flat, engine running hot — we roll out to you across Randolph County and knock it out on the spot so you can keep moving.
Roadside Assistance →Tank hit empty on US-219 or a back road off Corridor H? We run fuel straight to you — just enough to reach the next station, no tow required.
Fuel Delivery →Off the edge, buried in mud, or high-centered on a logging road near Buckhannon or Philippi? Our recovery gear pulls you back onto solid ground anywhere in the county.
Winch-Out & Recovery →Wrecks, cars blocking a lane, breakdowns on a dark mountain grade — we roll the second you call, whatever the hour.
Emergency Towing →Dead battery anywhere from downtown Elkins to a gravel lane past Montrose. We show up with a heavy-duty booster and check the battery before we head out.
Jump Start Service →Flatbed-only bike transport with a proper front chock and soft frame straps — never a chain, never a mark on your paint or chrome.
Motorcycle Towing →We're not a toll-free line routing a truck in from two counties away. We're an Elkins crew that runs US-33, US-219, and US-250 in every kind of weather — we know the Cheat Mountain climb, the valley grades dropping toward Beverly, and the back hollows GPS gives up on across Randolph County.
"My AWD quit on US-33 headed west out of Elkins on a Sunday night. The driver called me right back with an honest number, showed up sooner than he said, and set it on the roll-back without a mark. Couldn't ask for better."
"Locked myself out downtown with the baby still buckled in the back. They got there quick, kept me calm, and had the door open in a couple minutes flat — no damage at all. Truly saved my evening."
"Hands down the best wrecker service in Randolph County. The guy knew the back roads, found me fast, and dropped my truck at the shop without a scratch. Price was fair, too."
"My car died on a county road south of Huttonsville and I had no idea who to call. Elkins Towing had somebody out to me in no time and hauled it straight to my mechanic. Polite and reasonable the whole way."
"Ran the tank dry on US-219 coming home to Parsons. Called these folks and they brought gas right out to the roadside. Back on my way inside half an hour. Can't recommend them enough."
"Slid into a soft ditch off US-250 near Belington after a hard rain. The driver rolled up with the right winch setup, eased me out clean, and never rushed the job. I'm keeping their number."
