Contact Us OnlineCentral One Towing delivers fast, reliable roadside assistance throughout Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Apex, Wake Forest, and the entire Triangle area. Whether you're stranded on I-40, stuck in a shopping center parking lot, or dealing with a breakdown on a residential street, our dispatchers send the closest available truck—often within 30 to 45 minutes.
We handle the full spectrum of roadside emergencies: dead batteries that need a professional jump start (especially crucial for modern vehicles with sensitive electronics), flat tires requiring a spare swap or tow to a tire shop, vehicle lockouts using damage-free entry tools, fuel delivery when you've run dry, minor winch-outs for vehicles stuck in mud or ditches, and same-day towing to your mechanic, dealership, or home if the issue can't be fixed on-site.
Our drivers carry industry-standard equipment—heavy-duty jumper packs, hydraulic jacks, spare tire tools, non-marring lockout kits, and portable fuel cans—so most situations are resolved right where you are. If a tow is necessary, we load your vehicle safely and transport it to your preferred destination anywhere in the Triangle.
Modern vehicles require careful jump procedures to avoid damaging onboard computers. Our technicians use professional-grade jumper packs and follow manufacturer protocols to safely restore power without risking your vehicle's electrical system.
We'll swap your flat tire for your spare using hydraulic jacks and torque wrenches, following your vehicle's lift-point specs. If your spare is also flat or missing, we tow you to the nearest tire shop or your preferred repair facility.
Locked your keys inside? We use non-marring wedges, long-reach tools, and slim jims (where appropriate) to regain entry without scratching paint or breaking windows. Works for cars, trucks, and SUVs—even newer push-button models.
Ran out of gas on the highway or misjudged your range? We bring enough fuel (typically 2–3 gallons) to get you to the nearest station. Diesel and unleaded available. Payment for fuel is separate from the service call fee.
Slid into a ditch, stuck in mud, or high-centered on a curb? Our trucks carry heavy-duty winches and recovery straps to pull your vehicle back onto pavement. For more complex recoveries (steep embankments, off-road), we dispatch specialized equipment.
If your battery keeps dying, we can test its voltage and cranking amps on-site to confirm whether you need a replacement. While we don't sell batteries, we'll tow you to an auto parts store or mechanic if the battery has failed.
Our dispatch center is staffed around the clock, every day of the year. When you call at 3 a.m. on a Sunday or during a holiday, a live person answers—not a recording. We log your location, vehicle details, and service needed, then immediately radio the nearest available driver. You'll receive an ETA within minutes of your call.
We serve Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Apex, Wake Forest, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, Garner, Clayton, Fuquay-Varina, Holly Springs, and surrounding Wake, Durham, and Johnston County communities. Whether you're stranded on I-540, broken down on Highway 70, or stuck in a neighborhood off Six Forks Road, we have trucks positioned throughout the region.
Every Central One driver is trained in safe jump-start procedures, proper tire-changing techniques, and damage-free lockout methods. We invest in quality tools—no improvised solutions or shortcuts that risk harming your vehicle. Our trucks are inspected regularly and carry backup equipment in case a tool fails on-site.
When you call, dispatch provides a clear quote based on your service type and location. The price you're quoted is the price you pay—no hidden mileage fees, no after-hours surcharges disguised as "convenience fees." If we recommend a tow instead of an on-site fix, we explain why and give you the towing cost upfront.
No. Our quoted price is the same whether you call at noon on a Tuesday or 2 a.m. on a Saturday. We don't add after-hours surcharges, holiday fees, or weekend premiums—the rate you're given over the phone is what you pay.
If your spare is unusable, we tow your vehicle to a tire shop, your mechanic, or your home—wherever you prefer. Dispatch will quote the towing cost when you explain the situation, so there are no surprises when the driver arrives.
Yes. We use wedges, long-reach tools, and slim jims (where appropriate) to unlock your vehicle without breaking windows or scratching paint. This works for most cars, trucks, and SUVs, including many newer push-button models. If your vehicle has advanced anti-theft features that prevent lockout tools from working, we'll help you contact a locksmith or your dealership.
We typically deliver 2 to 3 gallons—enough to get you to the nearest station. You pay separately for the fuel itself (we charge a small markup over pump price to cover procurement and transport). The service call fee covers our dispatch, driver time, and delivery; fuel cost is itemized on your receipt.
We accept cash, all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex), and debit cards. Some insurance policies or motor clubs (AAA, etc.) cover roadside assistance—if you have coverage, let dispatch know and we can coordinate billing or provide a receipt for your reimbursement claim.
Yes. We can jump-start hybrid 12V accessory batteries and tow fully electric vehicles using flatbed trucks (to avoid damaging the drivetrain). If your EV has run out of charge, we tow you to the nearest charging station or your preferred destination—EVs cannot be 'refueled' on-site the way gas vehicles can.
We handle minor winch-outs (mud, shallow ditches, curbs) with our standard trucks. For more complex recoveries—steep embankments, heavily wooded areas, or vehicles that have rolled—we dispatch specialized heavy-duty recovery equipment. Dispatch will assess the situation when you call and let you know if extra equipment is needed (and the associated cost).
