Towing in Thornton

Thornton is the metro's north edge along I-25, where the interstate meets E-470. 71% of workers here drive to work alone, the highest share of the nine cities we cover, and long commutes put miles on cars fast. If yours dies on I-25, give the nearest exit number. If you want it towed to a shop down in Denver instead of nearby, say so up front, because distance is most of the price.

Thornton by the numbers

The Census counts about 144,187 people and 50,566 households in Thornton (ACS 2020-2024). 71% of workers drive to work alone and 15% work from home. 29% of households rent, and 3% have no car. Most households here own their cars and park them at home, so the calls are mostly breakdowns and slide-offs.

Request a tow

How it works

  1. Say where you are. Call or text us, or use the form. Give the location and the car. Say where it should go.
  2. A local towing company calls back. It gives you its business name and one total price for the job.
  3. You decide before the truck rolls. If the price at the scene is higher than the phone price, you can say no.

Questions

Do you cover all of Thornton?

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.
