24/7 AI Answering Service
Towing Company Answering Service
24/7 AI call answering built for towing companies — never miss another job to voicemail.
What is a towing company answering service?
A towing answering service answers every call instantly, around the clock, so no stranded motorist reaches voicemail. An AI answering service picks up 24/7, captures the location and vehicle details, gives an ETA, and dispatches your driver on the spot.
Why towing companies can't afford a missed call
After hours is when it happens
A stranded motorist on the shoulder is the definition of urgent — they're calling every towing company until one answers, and the first to pick up and give an ETA gets the job, every time.
What a missed call really costs
Miss the call and the stranded driver dials the next company in seconds — you lose the tow, the storage fees, and any repair-shop referral that came with it.
A local tow runs $75–$150; long-distance, heavy-duty, and accident recovery reach $300–$1,000+.

Frequently asked questions
What is a towing answering service?
A towing answering service answers every call instantly, around the clock, so no stranded motorist reaches voicemail. An AI answering service picks up 24/7, captures the location and vehicle details, gives an ETA, and dispatches your driver on the spot.
Can it dispatch drivers for roadside emergencies?
Yes. The AI answers on the first ring, confirms the exact location and the situation (breakdown, accident, no-start), and alerts your on-call driver immediately with the details — so you win the call instead of losing the stranded caller to a competitor.
Why isn't voicemail enough for a towing company?
Because a driver stranded on the highway won't leave a message — they call the next tow truck. More than 80% of callers who hit voicemail hang up, and in towing that's a job lost in the time it takes to redial.
How much does a towing answering service cost?
Less than the jobs it captures. Live dispatch services bill per minute and can't scale to surges; FDM's AI answers unlimited calls instantly at a flat monthly rate — usually paid back by a single recovered tow.
