Towing in Lakewood
Lakewood runs from the Denver line out to the hogbacks. Most of its traffic rides on Sixth Avenue and Colfax, plus Wadsworth. C-470 skirts the south edge. It is also the first stop for anyone limping back down I-70 from the mountains with a car that overheated on the climb. 42% of Lakewood households rent. If you live in an apartment complex, read the parking rules posted at the entrance: a private-property tow from an assigned spot needs 24 hours of written notice in most cases under Colorado law.

Questions
Do you cover all of Lakewood?
Yes. The towing company that calls back confirms your location is in its area before anything is booked, and tells you if another company is closer.
Will I know the price before the truck comes?
That is the one thing we ask of every towing company we pass requests to: the total on the phone, with every fee in it, and the same total at the end. If it changes at the scene, you can say no.
Are tow companies licensed in Colorado?
Colorado doesn't issue a towing license. Tow companies need a towing carrier permit from the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, which also sets the maximum rates for tows you didn't ask for and takes complaints. Ask any tow company for its PUC permit number.
