Jump Starts

Dead battery? Whether you left your headlights on in a parking garage downtown or your battery gave out in your driveway in Southern Village, we bring portable jump-start equipment directly to your location. Most jump starts take under 10 minutes, and we'll test your battery and alternator on-site to make sure you won't get stranded again five minutes down the road. If your battery is beyond saving, we can tow you to a service center or offer mobile battery installation on the spot.

Lockout Service

Locked your keys in the car at Eastgate Shopping Center or on Franklin Street? We provide damage-free lockout service for most makes and models. Our technicians use professional lock-out tools — no coat hangers, no broken windows — to get you back inside your vehicle quickly and safely. We arrive prepared for modern vehicles with electronic locks and older models with manual systems. If we can't unlock your car on-site, we'll tow it to a locksmith at no additional charge.

Emergency Fuel Delivery

Ran out of gas on I-40 near the Chapel Hill exit, or coasting on fumes near Weaver Dairy Road? We deliver enough fuel to get you to the nearest gas station — usually 2-3 gallons of unleaded gasoline. Our drivers carry fresh, clean fuel and arrive within an hour of your call. No need to walk to a station in the heat or cold. We come to you, refuel your tank, and get you back on the road in minutes.

Flat Tire & Tire Change

Flat tire on Estes Drive or Highway 54? We swap your flat for your spare on-site, inspect the damaged tire, and check your spare's air pressure before you leave. If your spare is also flat or missing, we'll tow you to a nearby tire shop. Our technicians carry portable air compressors, tire irons, and hydraulic jacks to handle tire changes safely on the shoulder of busy roads or in tight parking lots. Most tire changes are completed in 15-20 minutes.

Heavy-Duty & Commercial Towing

We tow box trucks, cargo vans, and commercial vehicles up to 26,000 lbs throughout Chapel Hill and Orange County. If your delivery truck breaks down near University Place or your work van won't start at a job site in Carrboro, we dispatch heavy-duty equipment designed for commercial loads. We understand that downtime costs you money, so we prioritize fast hookup and transport to minimize disruption to your business operations.

Chapel Hill Coverage Area: UNC Campus, Franklin Street, Carrboro & Beyond

Our Chapel Hill service area covers the entire town limits plus surrounding communities. We regularly serve UNC's main campus and satellite lots, the bustling Franklin Street corridor, the Carrboro border near Weaver Street Market, neighborhoods like Meadowmont and Governors Club, shopping districts including University Place and Eastgate, and major arteries like Highway 15-501, Highway 54, I-40, and Fordham Boulevard. If you're within 15 miles of downtown Chapel Hill — whether that's north toward Hillsborough, south toward Pittsboro, east toward Durham, or west toward Carrboro — we can reach you. Our drivers are intimately familiar with Chapel Hill's winding residential streets, campus parking decks, and high-traffic commercial zones, so we navigate efficiently even during UNC events, rush hour, or bad weather. We also coordinate with local police and DOT when responding to roadside emergencies on state highways, ensuring safe hookup and transport even in challenging conditions.
