When you’re stranded on the road in Houston, your situation demands immediate attention—not a long wait, unclear pricing, or impersonal service. At Certified Towing, we provide fast, professional, and locally grounded towing services designed to get you back on track without delays or stress.
We know the streets of Houston. From the busy interstates like I-10 and I-45 to side roads in neighborhoods like The Heights or Bellaire, our tow truck drivers respond fast, with equipment that’s ready for every kind of vehicle emergency.
What Makes Our Tow Truck Service in Houston Different?
We run our operations based on three core principles: speed, transparency, and trust.
Our customers aren’t just calling us for a tow. They’re often in vulnerable moments—vehicles stalled out, accidents just happened, or unexpected malfunctions left them stranded in the heat. We show up with practical solutions and a no-nonsense approach.
- No hidden fees
- No unclear timelines
- No long waits
Certified Towing keeps a large fleet active across multiple sectors of Houston so response times stay short. Our dispatchers are trained to assign jobs based on GPS and traffic data, meaning we send the closest tow truck, not just the next one available.

Common Reasons People Call Us
People don’t always expect to need a tow truck. But it happens more than you’d think, and usually without warning. Here’s what we see the most:
- Engine failure while driving
- Vehicle stuck in mud or off-road terrain
- Accident scenes needing fast removal
- Car won’t start in a parking lot
- Flat tires without a spare
- Locked out with keys inside
- Dead battery with no one to jump it
Whatever the reason, Certified Towing is equipped to handle it. We dispatch professionals who can assess the situation fast, offer options, and proceed based on your decision—not upsells or delays.
Flatbed vs. Traditional Towing: What’s the Best Option?
Some vehicles require special treatment. If you drive an all-wheel-drive or a high-end sedan, traditional hook-and-chain towing can actually cause damage to the drivetrain or bumper.
That’s why we always ask about your vehicle before dispatch. Our flatbed towing trucks are ideal for:
- AWD or 4WD vehicles
- Low-clearance cars
- Electric vehicles (EVs)
- Performance or luxury models
Flatbeds reduce risk. Your vehicle is lifted entirely off the road, strapped in tightly, and transported with minimal movement. That’s a standard we apply to every flatbed job—because there’s no second chance if the wrong method is used.

How to Request a Tow Truck in Houston
Getting a tow shouldn’t be complicated. At Certified Towing, we make it easy.
Here’s what we need from you:
- Your location (cross streets or GPS pin if possible)
- Vehicle make/model
- Nature of the issue (accident, breakdown, stuck, etc.)
- Where you want the vehicle towed (home, shop, dealership, etc.)
Once we have that info, we’ll give you a quote with no guesswork. Our drivers then send a live status update when they’re en route.
Call us or use our contact form to get started.
Emergency Towing Services: What to Expect
We treat emergencies as time-sensitive jobs, not just priority tags. This includes:
- Traffic accidents where a vehicle must be cleared immediately
- Disabled vehicles in unsafe areas (shoulders, narrow roads, construction zones)
- Vehicles blocking driveways, alleys, or commercial access
In these situations, dispatchers move fast, drivers follow pre-routed emergency protocols, and we often coordinate with local authorities if needed.
No matter the time of day or the level of urgency, you’ll speak with someone who understands what to do—and how to get help on the way fast.
Roadside Assistance Options
Not every call needs a full tow. In some cases, quick roadside assistance is the faster and more affordable solution. We offer:
- Jump starts
- Flat tire change
- Lockout service
- Fuel delivery
- Minor mechanical support
Each truck carries standard roadside gear. That means if you just need help getting moving again, we may be able to handle it on the spot—saving you time and money.
Transparent Pricing for Towing in Houston
Price is always part of the conversation, and we handle it without guesswork or vague “starting at” numbers. Every situation is different, but our pricing is structured to reflect:
- Distance towed
- Vehicle type
- Time of day/night
- Road conditions or access
- Equipment required
We’ll always provide a firm quote before we send out a truck. No surprises, no bait-and-switch.

Why Certified Towing Has Become a Go-To for Houston Drivers
We’re not the largest company in Texas. That’s never been the goal. We focus on being consistent, efficient, and trustworthy for people who need real help on the road.
Here’s what customers tell us they value:
- Speed: No long holds. No late arrivals.
- Clarity: You know who’s coming and what it’ll cost.
- Professionalism: Drivers are trained, vehicles are maintained.
- Coverage: We’re local, not spread thin across the state.
When you work with Certified Towing, you’re not getting a subcontractor from another city or a dispatch desk that doesn’t know Houston. You’re talking to people who live and work here, who’ve built a system that works for this city’s roads, weather, and traffic.
