How quickly can you reach my location?
Our typical response time is 20 to 50 minutes, depending on your exact location and current traffic conditions. We treat every call with urgency, and emergency situations like accidents or highway breakdowns are always prioritized. Our dispatcher will give you an estimated arrival time as soon as we confirm your location.
What types of vehicles do you tow?
We tow cars, SUVs, light trucks, and motorcycles. Our fleet includes modern flatbed and wheel-lift tow trucks that can safely handle nearly any personal vehicle. If you're unsure whether we can tow your specific vehicle, just give us a call and we'll let you know right away.
How much does towing cost?
Pricing depends on a few factors, including the type of service needed, your vehicle, and the distance involved. What we can promise is that we're always upfront with our pricing before we start any job. You'll never get a surprise bill. Call us at (414) 973-1902 for an instant quote, or request one through our website.
Do you provide roadside assistance too?
Yes! Towing is just one part of what we do. We also offer jump starts, vehicle lockout assistance, fuel delivery, flat tire changes, and winch-out recovery. If you're stuck on the road for any reason, there's a good chance we can get you moving again without even needing a tow.
What areas do you serve?
MG Towing & Recovery is based in Caledonia, Wisconsin, and proudly serves Milwaukee and the surrounding communities throughout southeastern Wisconsin. Our service area includes Milwaukee, Caledonia, West Allis, Racine, Oak Creek, South Milwaukee, Cudahy, St. Francis, Greenfield, and nearby areas. If you're not sure whether we cover your location, just give us a call at (414) 973-1902 we'll let you know right away and do our best to get to you.
Can you tow after an accident?
Absolutely. Our team is fully equipped and experienced in post-accident vehicle recovery. We work professionally alongside law enforcement and coordinate with insurance providers to make the process as smooth as possible during what is already a stressful situation.
Can you tow my vehicle if it’s all-wheel drive (AWD)?
Yes. AWD and 4x4 vehicles require special care during towing to avoid drivetrain damage. Our flatbed tow trucks are specifically designed for this. Your vehicle rides fully elevated on the bed, with all four wheels off the ground, so there's zero risk to your drivetrain or suspension system.
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes, we do. We regularly assist customers with insurance-covered towing and accident recovery services. Simply provide your claim number and insurance provider information when you call, and we'll help coordinate from there to make the process easier on your end.
Can I schedule a tow in advance?
Definitely. If you know ahead of time that you'll need a vehicle moved, whether it's for a repair appointment, a relocation, or a vehicle transport — you can schedule with us in advance either by phone or through our website contact form. We'll confirm the details and show up ready to go.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, all major credit and debit cards, and most common digital payment methods. You'll receive a receipt as soon as the service is complete, so you always have a clear record of what was done and what was charged.
Do you handle long-distance towing?
Yes. While we're based in Caledonia and primarily serve the greater Milwaukee area, we can accommodate longer hauls throughout Wisconsin as well. Whether you need a vehicle moved 5 miles or 50 miles, we'll get it there safely. Just call us to discuss the route and get a quote.
Is your towing equipment insured and licensed?
Yes, fully. MG Towing & Recovery is a licensed and insured towing company operating in compliance with Wisconsin state regulations. All of our operators are trained and certified, and our equipment is regularly maintained to ensure safe, reliable service.
What should I do while waiting for a tow truck?
First, stay calm. If it's safe to do so, move your vehicle as far off the road as possible and turn on your hazard lights. Stay inside the vehicle if you're on a busy road or highway. Once you've called us, our dispatcher will stay in contact with you and guide you through any steps until our driver arrives.
Can you tow motorcycles or small vehicles?
Yes. We have specialized equipment for motorcycles, scooters, and smaller vehicles to make sure they're secured and transported without any risk of damage. Just mention your vehicle type when you call so we can send the right equipment.
What if I’m stuck in snow or mud?
That's exactly what our winch-out service is for. If your vehicle is stuck somewhere a standard tow truck can't simply hook up and pull away like a snowy ditch, soft mud, or an off-road situation. Our operators use professional recovery equipment to extract it safely and without causing further damage.
What happens to my car after it's towed? Where does it go?
That's completely up to you. We'll transport your vehicle to any repair shop of your choosing. If it's accident-related, we'll coordinate with you and your insurance provider to make sure it ends up in the right place. We'll always confirm the destination with you before we go.
