All 16 towing services we list

Why this order? Companies with more kinds of facts we checked in the last 6 months come first (website, service area, a dated update on their own site, state license), then A to Z. 11 of 16 have at least one dated check. No business can pay to move up. 5 say on their own websites that they offer emergency or 24/7 service; we did not test response times.

Before you hire a towing service

Police and private-property tows have capped rates

The Corporation Commission sets maximum charges for tows ordered by law enforcement or a property owner, which it calls nonconsensual tows. Companies may charge less than the maximum. (Oklahoma Corporation Commission)

The invoice must be itemized

A tow invoice has to list each charge, name the services, and show start and stop times for hourly charges. Ask for it before you pay. (Oklahoma Corporation Commission)

Bring cash

Yards handling these tows do not have to take cards or checks, so plan to bring cash. The Commission's number for billing questions is 405-522-0131. (Oklahoma Corporation Commission)

Find a towed car by VIN

The state's impounded vehicle page lets you look up a towed car with its VIN. To pick it up, bring proof of ownership, ID and proof of insurance. (State of Oklahoma (oklahoma.gov))

Towing companies need a state license

Anyone in the business of towing needs a Department of Public Safety wrecker license, with a few listed exceptions. If police placed a hold, you also need a law enforcement release. (Oklahoma Department of Public Safety)

The lookup may be blank at first

The yard's name and address show up only after the licensed wrecker service files its required report, so an empty result right after a tow may just be a delay. (Oklahoma Department of Public Safety)

Questions people ask

Can a tow company charge whatever it wants after police tow my car?

No. For police and private-property tows the Corporation Commission sets maximum rates. A company may charge less than the maximum.

How do I find my towed car?

Use the state's impounded vehicle lookup with the VIN. If it shows nothing right after the tow, the yard may not have filed its report yet.

What should I bring to the tow yard?

Bring cash, plus proof of ownership, ID and proof of insurance. If police placed a hold, you also need a law enforcement release.

Does a tow company need a license?

Yes. The Department of Public Safety licenses wrecker services, with a few listed exceptions.

How Local Times OKC lists and checks towing services

Listings are free, and no business can pay to appear higher. Each checked fact on a card shows the date we checked it and links the page it came from: we confirm a listed website answers and shows the business's name or phone number, read the service area the business names on its own site, and look for a dated post or update there. Facts older than 6 months drop off. We do not use review stars or ratings from other sites. Items we have not checked yet are marked that way. How we list and check businesses.
