24 Hour Emergency Towing. When Every Minute Counts in Tampa.
Broken down at 2am? In an accident on I-275? Stranded with a dead battery in a parking lot? AK Towing's emergency dispatch never sleeps. One call gets a licensed operator to your exact location in 15-30 minutes anywhere across Tampa Bay.
Real 24/7 Means Real 24/7
A lot of towing companies say they're 24/7 but route after-hours calls to an answering service — meaning a 90-minute wait before a truck even rolls. AK Towing operates a real overnight dispatch team. You speak to a live person within seconds, and a truck is on the road in under 5 minutes.
Holidays, weekends, hurricanes, 4am, Super Bowl Sunday — we run the same lean response time year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you really open 24/7 or do you route to an answering service?
We staff our own dispatch 24/7/365. You will speak to a live human at AK Towing — not a call center — and a truck is en route within minutes of your call.
How fast can you respond to a highway breakdown?
On I-275, I-4, the Selmon Expressway, and Veterans Expressway we typically arrive in 15-25 minutes. We position trucks across Hillsborough County to minimize response time.
Do you work with insurance and roadside assistance plans?
Yes. We accept most major roadside programs and provide all documentation insurance requires. Call (813) 790-6515 and have your policy info ready.
What if I'm in a really unsafe location?
Tell dispatch immediately. We coordinate with Tampa PD, FHP, or sheriff's deputies for high-risk scenes, and we prioritize unsafe locations like active lanes of traffic.
