Towing Across Baltimore City and Baltimore County
A lot of towing companies in this market only cover the city, or only really cover the county, even if their website claims otherwise. A&A Towing runs trucks across both — which matters more than it sounds like. A breakdown on I-695 near Towson and a breakdown on Falls Road in the city core are very different dispatch problems, and a company that’s only staffed for one side of that line will either turn you away or make you wait considerably longer than their city customers.
Practically, that means: if you’re inside Baltimore City proper, in Baltimore County suburbs like Towson, Timonium, or Parkville, or somewhere along the connecting highway corridors, you’re inside our real coverage area — not just a marketing map.
The Types of Towing We Actually Do
Towing” isn’t one service — different situations call for different equipment, and knowing the difference helps you understand what to expect:
- ›Flatbed towing — your vehicle is fully loaded onto a flat trailer bed rather than pulled by its wheels. This is the safest method for most modern vehicles, especially all-wheel-drive cars, lowered vehicles, and anything with existing damage.
- ›Wheel-lift towing — a lighter-duty method where the drive wheels are lifted and the rest of the vehicle rolls. Faster to hook up for straightforward tows on standard vehicles.
- ›Accident and collision recovery — towing after a crash, including vehicles that may not be safely drivable onto a truck under their own power.
- ›Long-distance and out-of-state towing — for vehicles that need to travel well beyond the immediate Baltimore area, not just across town.
- ›Motorcycle towing — specialized handling and tie-down equipment so a bike doesn’t get treated like a car.
- ›Heavy-duty and commercial towing — for vehicles beyond standard passenger car and light-truck weight.
Beyond towing itself, we also handle the roadside problems that come before a tow becomes necessary — jump starts, lockouts, flat tire changes, and emergency fuel delivery. If your issue might be solved without a full tow, we’ll often fix it on the spot in less time than a tow car that didn’t ask enough questions when you called.
What Sets A&A Apart
- No membership required. You call, we quote a price, we tow — no annual fee, no waiting for a membership card to process.
- Upfront pricing. You know the full cost before any work begins, not after.

- A real, verified track record. 5.0 stars across 95+ Google reviews, and BBB accredited with an A+ rating.
- Family-owned, not a franchise. When you call, you’re talking to people who actually know these roads — not a national dispatch center reading from a script.
When You Actually Need a Tow (and When You Might Not)
You probably do need a tow if: your car won’t start even after a jump (which can point to something beyond a dead battery); you’ve been in an accident and the vehicle isn’t safely drivable; you have a warning light on that indicates unsafe conditions to continue driving; or your vehicle has been immobilized by a flat with no spare, a warning light comes on that makes driving unsafe, or the vehicle has run out of fuel.
You might not need a full tow if: your battery is simply dead from lights left on overnight (a jump start usually resolves this); you’re locked out but the car itself runs fine; or you have a flat but a spare and tire change service can often solve these faster and cheaper than a full tow — see our dedicated Roadside Assistance page for jump starts, lockouts, and tire changes specifically.
How Pricing Actually Works
We don’t publish a flat universal rate, because towing pricing legitimately depends on the type of service, vehicle type, and time of day — and any company that quotes the same number for every situation either hasn’t asked enough questions or isn’t being straight with you. What we do promise is that we’ll give you a specific quote before dispatch based on your actual situation, and that number won’t change when the truck arrives.
