Towing in Cary, NC
Need a tow in Cary? Williams Towing Fleet is based just up the road in Morrisville, so our trucks are already close when you call (919) 230-4498. We run 24 hours a day, every day, covering all of Cary from Preston and Weston to Kildaire Farm, Lochmere, downtown and out toward Apex and Holly Springs.

Cary is where we do most of our work. We know which side of US-1 the exits dump you on, where the shoulders are wide enough to load safely, which parking decks a rollback can’t fit in, and which neighborhoods have the tight cul-de-sacs that call for the wheel-lift truck. That local knowledge is the difference between a quick pickup and a long wait.

Common Cary Calls and How We Handle Them
Broke down on US-1
Get to the shoulder, hazards on, stay buckled in. Tell the dispatcher your direction and the nearest exit. We’ll position the truck to shield you from traffic, load quickly and take the car to your shop or home.
Dead battery in a parking deck
Fenton, downtown and the office parks have decks with low clearance. We send a truck that fits, jump the battery, and check that the alternator is charging before you leave.
Won’t start in the driveway
Whether it’s the battery, starter or something else, we can jump it on the spot or load it on the flatbed and take it to your mechanic. AWD vehicles ride on the flatbed.
Slid off a wet road
Cary’s tree-lined roads get slick with leaves every fall. We winch you out of the ditch or soft shoulder, check underneath and either send you on your way or tow it if it isn’t safe.
Accident on Cary Parkway or I-40
Once police clear the scene we load the vehicle, sweep up debris that came off it, and take it to a body shop, your home or storage while you sort things out with your insurer. You get a detailed receipt.
What Affects the Price of a Tow in Cary
We quote every job before the truck rolls, and the quote comes from a few plain factors rather than a mystery formula:
- Distance – a hook-up in Preston going to a shop on Kildaire Farm Rd is a short local run; Cary to a dealer in Durham is longer.
- Vehicle – a compact sedan on the wheel-lift is the simplest job; an AWD SUV or an EV that has to ride on the flatbed takes more setup.
- Situation – a car in a driveway loads in minutes; one that’s nose-down in a ditch off Green Level Church Rd needs a winch-out first.
- Access – a low-clearance deck at Fenton or a tight cul-de-sac can mean the smaller truck and extra maneuvering.
- Time – we’re open 24/7, and the dispatcher will tell you up front if the hour changes anything.
None of that is a surprise on the phone. Tell the dispatcher where you are, what you drive and where it’s going, and you’ll have a number before you decide.
Vehicles We Tow in Cary
- Cars, sedans and coupes – wheel-lift or flatbed, including lowered and sports cars that need the flatbed.
- SUVs, crossovers and minivans – most are AWD today, so they go on the flatbed.
- Pickups and work vans – F-150s, Silverados, Transits and Sprinters, loaded or empty.
- Electric vehicles – Teslas, Rivians, Ioniqs and the rest ride on the flatbed with all four wheels off the ground.
- Motorcycles – secured upright on the flatbed with proper tie-downs.
- Classic and collector cars – soft straps, careful loading, delivered to the show, the buyer or the shop.
While You Wait for the Tow Truck in Cary
- On US-1, I-40 or NC-540: stay buckled in with hazards on unless you can get well behind the guardrail. Shoulders are narrow and traffic doesn’t slow down.
- In a parking lot or deck: stay near the car, keep your phone on, and note the level and row so the driver finds you fast.
- In a neighborhood: if the car is blocking the street, put the hazards on and let a neighbor know; otherwise sit tight.
- Gather your things: phone, wallet, keys, garage opener, car seats if you’ll need them.
- Don’t accept a tow you didn’t call for. Trucks that show up uninvited at breakdowns are a known problem on Triangle highways. Ours will have Williams Towing Fleet on the door and the dispatcher will have told you who’s coming.
What to Do When You Need a Tow in Cary
- Get safe. Off the travel lanes, hazards on. On a highway, stay in the car with your belt on unless you can get well clear of traffic.
