How a tow is arranged

  1. Step 1

    Share location and destination

    Call or WhatsApp your live location, the car model, what happened and where the car needs to go.

  2. Step 2

    Fare confirmed

    We confirm the towing fare and an arrival estimate. If a battery replacement, jump start or tyre change could solve it, we say so.

  3. Step 3

    Inspection and loading

    The driver notes any existing damage with you, then winches the car onto the flatbed and straps the wheels securely.

  4. Step 4

    Safe delivery

    Your car is delivered to the garage, dealer or address you chose, and unloaded with the same care.

The first thing we rule out

Could it be the battery? What we test before quoting

A weak battery sits behind more faults than people expect. A quick voltage and load test tells us whether a replacement is the answer before any other work is priced.

12.6 V
Resting voltage
Read with the engine off. A charged, healthy battery shows about 12.6 V; once it drops near 12.0 V the starter usually gives up.
CCA
Cold cranking amps
The burst of current the battery can deliver to turn the engine over. Large engines and diesels need a higher figure, so we match it to your car rather than guess.
Ah
Capacity
Amp-hours: how much energy the battery stores for lights, screens, sensors and start-stop. Modern cars with heavy electrics need more of it.
Size
Case group & terminals
The physical size and which side the positive post sits on. The wrong group won't sit on the tray or reach the cables — the first thing we check before fitting.
How we read a battery before recommending anything
  • < 11.9 VFlat — load test, then replace or jump
  • 12.0 VNear empty — may not crank
  • 12.2 VAbout half — a boost charge helps
  • 12.4 VAbout 75% — healthy, keep driving
  • 12.6 V+Full — the battery isn't the problem

Tow or fix on the spot?

When you need a car towing service, and when you do not

Towing costs you time and money if the problem could be fixed where you are. Here is a quick guide.

Book a tow

Signs the car needs towing

  1. Accident damage to wheels, steering or lights
  2. Engine overheating with steam or coolant loss
  3. Grinding noises or the car will not move in gear
  4. Warning lights with loss of power and smoke
  5. Still will not start after a jump start

Do not try to drive it. Share your location and we arrange a flatbed.

Try a roadside fix first

Signs it can be fixed where you are

  1. Clicking or silence when you turn the key
  2. Dashboard lights dim or dead after the car sat
  3. A single flat tyre with no wheel damage
  4. Ran out of fuel

A jump start, battery replacement, tyre change or fuel delivery often gets you driving without a tow.

Not sure? Tell us the symptoms and we will say honestly whether you need a tow.

What we cover

Towing jobs we handle

From a simple breakdown tow to moving a car that has not run in months, these are the common requests.

  • Breakdown

    Breakdown towing

    Engine failure, overheating, gearbox faults or electrical problems that stop the car on the road.

  • Accident

    Accident towing

    Cars that cannot be driven after a collision, moved to your insurer's approved garage once you have the police report.

  • Planned

    Garage and dealer transfers

    Planned tows to a workshop or dealership for repairs, servicing or warranty work.

  • Parking

    Basement and car park recovery

    Cars stuck in residential basements and mall parking, with the approach planned around ramps and ceiling height.

  • Low clearance

    Luxury and low cars

    Flatbed loading for sports cars and lowered vehicles to avoid scraping bumpers and splitters.

  • Long-parked

    Non-running and parked cars

    Cars left sitting for months, often with flat batteries and flat tyres, moved for repair or sale.

Pricing

What affects the cost of a car tow

Every tow is different, so the fare depends on the route and the situation.

Towing fare

Quote first

The fare is confirmed with you before the car is loaded.

  1. Distance

    The distance from pickup to the destination garage or address.

  2. Vehicle type

    Large SUVs, vans and low sports cars may need different loading equipment.

  3. Location access

    Basements, tight car parks or sand off the road take more time to recover from.

  4. Car condition

    Locked wheels, accident damage or a steering lock that will not release add work.

  5. Time and traffic

    Route and traffic conditions can affect how long the job takes.

No extra charges are added after the fare is agreed unless you change the job.

Our promise

How we look after your car on a tow

Handing over your car to a stranger on a road shoulder takes trust. This is how we earn it.

Agreed before loading

Breakdown safety

Six things to do while waiting for a tow in Dubai

Most breakdown risks come from traffic and heat, not the car itself. These steps keep you safe.

  • Get off the road

    Move to the hard shoulder or a side road if the car can roll, then switch on hazard lights.

  • Stand behind the barrier

    On highways, wait outside the car behind a barrier when it is safe, away from passing traffic.

  • Place a warning triangle

    Put it well behind the car so drivers have time to react, especially on fast roads and at night.

  • Carry water in summer

    Keep drinking water in the car. Heat exhaustion can set in quickly while waiting on a road shoulder.

  • Share your exact location

    A live location pin is far faster than describing an exit or landmark, particularly on long highways.

  • Remove valuables

    Take documents, phone chargers and valuables with you before the car is loaded onto the truck.

When towing is the right call

How our car towing service in Dubai works

A car towing service in Dubai should be quick to reach, clear on the fare and careful with your car. We use flatbed trucks so the wheels are off the road, which protects automatic gearboxes, AWD systems and low bumpers.

Breakdowns here have their own risks. A car stopped on a highway shoulder in July heat is uncomfortable within minutes and dangerous if traffic is fast. Stay behind the barrier if you can, switch on hazard lights and share your live location so the driver finds you without guesswork.

Not every stranded car needs a tow. A dead battery, a flat tyre or running out of fuel can usually be sorted where you are, so we ask a few questions first. If the car still will not start after a jump start, or it has accident damage, a gearbox fault, overheating or a wheel that will not turn, towing is the safer option.

The driver checks the car for existing damage, secures it on the flatbed with wheel straps and takes it to the garage, dealership or home address you choose. Basement and mall car parks with low ceilings are common in Dubai, so tell us where the car is and we plan the right approach.

  • Ahmed Al Mansoori

    3 weeks ago

    Battery died on my Land Cruiser outside our villa in Jumeirah 2. They arrived in about half an hour with the right size already in the van, tested the old one to show me it was finished and had the new one in within twenty minutes.

  • Priya Nair

    2 months ago

    I was sure I needed a new battery. The technician tested it in my building's basement near City Walk and said it was just drained from a dashcam. He boosted it and told me to unplug the camera. Honest, and it cost me far less.

  • Mohammed Rashid

    5 days ago

    My BMW needs the battery registered after a change and the last garage skipped it. These guys brought a proper AGM, used a memory saver so I kept all my settings, and coded it on the driveway. No warning lights since.

  • Sarah Whitfield

    last month

    Arrived a bit later than quoted because of school-run traffic on Al Wasl Road, but they called ahead to say so. The battery swap itself was quick, neat and the price matched what they told me on WhatsApp.

  • Jomar Villanueva

    6 days ago

    Second time using them for the family cars in Umm Suqeim. Same technician, remembered the cars, fitted the battery, gave me the warranty on the invoice and took the old one away for recycling.

  • خالد العامري

    بطارية سيارتي توقفت أمام البيت في جميرا 3. وصل الفني بسرعة ومعه البطارية المناسبة، فحص القديمة أمامي وشرح لي لماذا يجب تبديلها، ثم ركّب الجديدة في ربع ساعة. سعر واضح من البداية وخدمة محترمة.

  • Deepak Sharma

    4 months ago

    Left the interior light on overnight in Al Safa. They came, jump started it and ran a test — battery still had plenty of life, so no replacement. I'll definitely call them when it does need changing.

  • Elena Petrova

    3 months ago

    Start-stop car that needs a specific EFB battery. They checked the spec before quoting and turned up with exactly the right one. Fitted in the car park at La Mer while I had lunch.

  • Faisal Hassan

    2 months ago

    Good battery, fair price and the fitting was tidy. Only note is I had to message twice to confirm the time. Once they were here it was all handled properly.

  • Anita Fernandes

    last week

    Car wouldn't start in a tower basement on Sheikh Zayed Road where the tow company said they couldn't reach. These guys came down with the battery on a trolley and replaced it in the bay.

  • Tom Bradley

    5 months ago

    Called early on a public holiday expecting voicemail. Someone answered, the van came to our villa on the beach road, new battery fitted before breakfast. That's all I wanted.

  • رانيا حداد

    3 weeks ago

    اتصلت بعد العودة من السفر وكانت البطارية فارغة تماماً. الفني فحصها أولاً وقال إنها ما زالت جيدة، فشحنها بدل أن يبيعني بطارية جديدة. أمانة نادرة وتعامل مريح جداً.

  • Vikram Menon

    7 months ago

    Battery gave up in the August heat in Al Manara. They explained why batteries last only a couple of summers here and fitted one with a longer warranty. Clear, patient and quick.

  • Grace Okonkwo

    2 weeks ago

    Quoted over the phone, and the price on the invoice was the same. Battery fitted in our compound car park in Jumeirah 1 in about fifteen minutes. Rare these days.

  • Michelle Tan

    4 days ago

    My car died at school pickup and I was blocking the lane. They were there quickly with a boost, then came to the house the next morning to replace the battery.

  • Laura Kim

    8 months ago

    Technician arrived in a marked van, in uniform, with proper equipment and explained everything he tested. Calling alone in the evening, that professionalism mattered a lot.

  • نادية الزعابي

    5 weeks ago

    خدمة سريعة وصادقة في الصفوح. طلبت بطارية جديدة لكنهم أخبروني بعد الفحص أن المشكلة في الدينامو وليس البطارية. شكراً على الأمانة.

  • Sanjay Patel

    last year

    Car had been standing three weeks while I travelled. Booked for the morning, they came to the villa, tested, replaced, done before I left for work. Saved in my phone now.

FAQ

Your Car Towing Service questions

Didn't find your question? Call +971 54 318 8600 — a real person picks up, 24/7.

What should I do if my car breaks down on a Dubai highway?

Move to the hard shoulder if you can, turn on hazard lights and place a warning triangle. Wait behind the barrier away from traffic, then call the police if the car is blocking a lane. Share your live location with us for the tow.

Do I need a police report before towing after an accident?

For an accident in Dubai you generally need a police report before repairs can be made, and insurers ask for it. Get the report first, then we tow the car to your chosen or insurer-approved garage.

Can you tow a car from a basement car park?

Often, yes. Tell us the building and the ceiling height if you know it. Depending on access, the car may be moved to street level with specialised equipment before loading.

How much does a car towing service in Dubai cost?

It depends on distance, vehicle type, access and the car's condition. We give you the fare before the car is loaded, so there are no surprises at the destination.

My car will not start. Do I need towing?

Not always. A dead battery is the most common reason a car will not start, and an on-the-spot battery replacement or jump start is usually quicker and cheaper than a tow. We ask a few questions to find out first.

Will a flatbed damage my automatic or AWD car?

No. On a flatbed all four wheels are off the road, so the gearbox and drivetrain are not turned. That is why flatbeds are the recommended option for automatics and all-wheel-drive cars.
