Family-owned since 2009. Twelve trucks, real dispatchers around the clock, an average arrival of 35 minutes — and your full price quoted before a wheel turns. No surprises, no cash-only games.
24/7 DISPATCH
Tows, recoveries, and the small saves that don't need a truck at all — every price quoted in full before we roll.
Broken down, won't start, unsafe to drive — a flatbed or wrecker dispatched now, anywhere in the metro.
We work the scene with police, clear the vehicle safely, and tow to your shop, your home, or our secure lot.
Dead battery at home, work, or the airport — tested on the spot, replaced only if it's truly done.
Flat on the Watterson or in your driveway — we fit your spare safely, or tow you to a tire shop if there isn't one.
Keys in the car, trunk, or — once — the cupholder. Damage-free entry tools, most cars open in minutes.
Two gallons of gas or diesel delivered to the shoulder — enough to reach the nearest station comfortably.
Ditch, mud, snowbank, or a steep gravel drive — winched out carefully, without tearing up the car or the yard.
Motorcycles, classics, lowered cars, and EVs ride the flatbed with soft straps — never a hook through your suspension.
Jump start, lockout, tire change, or a fuel drop — one flat price, day or night. The same $65 at 3 PM as at 3 AM. No "after-hours" surprises, ever.
We started with two trucks and one rule: treat a stranded stranger like a neighbor. Seventeen years later we run twelve — and we still answer our own phones.
You've heard the horror stories — the $29 hook that becomes $400 at the lot. Ours are printed right here, and your dispatcher quotes your exact total before a truck rolls. Most local tows land between $120 and $175, all-in.
"Transmission quit on I-65 at rush hour. Quoted $148 on the phone, truck there in 30 minutes, and the bill was $148. First tow of my life that didn't feel like a hostage negotiation."
"Locked my keys in the car at Kroger with groceries melting. Driver had it open in four minutes, $65 flat like the site says. He even helped load the bags."
"They texted me a photo of my Mustang strapped down on the flatbed before they left the parking lot. That's how you move a classic. Zero scratches, zero drama."
"Dead battery at 1 AM in the airport garage. The dispatcher stayed on the phone until the truck pulled in — 25 minutes. Jump-started and tested, $65, done."
"Slid into a ditch off Taylorsville Road in the snow. Winched out without a scratch on the car or my fence. Quoted before they pulled, charged exactly that."
"Our motor club left my daughter waiting two hours. Riverbend had her home in forty minutes and billed the insurance directly. We've saved the number in every phone we own."
Most tow damage happens in the straps, not the driving. Every car rides the flatbed tied down at four points, steering secured, with soft straps on anything low, classic, or freshly painted.
Nobody browses for a tow truck — they're stranded, stressed, and one-handing a phone. Every feature below exists to win that one panicked minute, and to make Riverbend the name Louisville saves for the next one.
The request form takes the job at 3 AM and pings the nearest truck — that's a tow a competitor's ringing phone lost.
The number sits in the header, the hero, and the sticky bar at the bottom of every phone screen. A stranded driver never scrolls to find it — every extra second costs calls.
2,300+ reviews sit beside the call buttons, not buried on a testimonials page. At the worst moment of someone's week, proof beats promises.
Tows, lockouts, winch-outs — Louisville, Jeffersontown, New Albany — each service and each side of the river gets its own way in, so Google sends the right breakdown to the right truck.
The chat in the corner reaches a real dispatcher for the 1 AM breakdown — capturing the job while the driver is still deciding who to trust.
Prices printed on the page and a 35-minute average arrival, promised in the hero. Against rivals who hide both, the honest number wins the click — and the tow.
Stuck on I-65, I-64, I-71, the Watterson, or the Gene Snyder? Tell dispatch the nearest exit or mile marker — we run them all, every hour of the year.
Local tows are a $95 hook fee plus $4.50 per mile — most in-city tows land between $120 and $175 total. Roadside help (jump, lockout, tire, fuel) is a flat $65. Either way, dispatch quotes your exact total before a truck rolls, and that number doesn't change when we arrive.
Our metro average is 35 minutes, and 24/7 dispatch means the clock starts when you call — not when a shop opens. At peak times we'll tell you honestly if it's longer, and text you the driver's live ETA either way.
All of them. Cards, tap-to-pay, insurance billing, and every major motor club. We are never cash-only — if a tow company demands cash and an ATM run, hang up and call us.
Yes — it rides the flatbed, never dragged. AWD and EVs must not be towed on two wheels, and we won't. Classics and lowered cars get soft straps, board ramps, and a senior driver, plus photos texted to you before we roll.
Yes. Our drivers carry professional damage-free entry tools and open most vehicles in minutes. You'll need to show the registration or title matches your ID — that's for your protection, and it keeps your car yours.
Call anyway. We run low-clearance trucks for garages down to 6'6", and winch-outs from ditches, mud, and snow are an everyday call for us. Describe the spot to dispatch and we'll send the right truck the first time.
Phones are answered by our own dispatchers in Louisville — day, night, weekends, holidays, and Derby week.
