TOW TRUCK SERVICE & more
Need a tow truck? If you're in St. Paul or Minneapolis you've come to the right place. Smitty Big Towing & Recovery is the most affordable, most reliable and most trustworthy tow truck service in the Twin Cities.
Smitty, with his wife, Michelle, has been serving the St. Paul metro area with their towing service since 2009.... and receiving5-star reviews for their work. As a family business, Smitty and Michelle know that you have many tow truck companies to choose from so they rely on their customer service and low rates to differentiate their tow truck company from others. Though we all hope that we don't need to keep a tow truck on speed-dial, Smitty and Michelle both want you to be so impressed with their superior service that you put 651.955.6475 in your phone...just in case! ***************************************************************************** WE ACCEPT VISA, MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS, DISCOVER and CASH When choosing a tow truck be aware that many services still require payment in cash. If you're like most people today, you don't usually carry a lot of cash. That's why Smitty Big Towing and Recovery is pleased to offer their customers a choice of payment options. **************************************************************** For most people, their car is the second greatest investment they make (after their home.) So you definitely want a tow truck company who understands and appreciates the importance and value of your car. One way a tow truck company does this is by using a flatbed tow truck. The flatbed tow truck is one of the three types of tow trucks used by tow truck operators. The sling tow truck, the one with the hook and chain, are rarely used any more, except to tow damaged vehicles that no longer have back or front wheels -- or those damaged cars with steel bumpers (which are fewer and fewer every year.) Tow truck companies no longer use the sling tow truck because this scratches or damages a car because they have to wrap a chain around the frame or axle of your car. Plus, "Cars equipped with all-wheel drive cannot be towed with a sling, since it can cause problems with the car's drivetrain." When you call on Smitty Big Towing & Recovery for a tow, jump start, tire change or help getting back into your locked car, you are just as likely to have Smitty himself come to your aid as any of his tow truck drivers. Smitty will even bring gas to you if you're stranded. That's because Smitty wants to stay actively engaged in his business and with his customers so that he is continually making the changes and upgrades necessary to remain on top of the towing needs of the St. Paul/Minneapolis community. For example, Smitty not only tows cars, but has transported boats, fish houses, sheds, construction material, large machinery and equipment and, Michelle's favorite, classic cars. If you have something that needs transporting, and don't have the means to do so, give Smitty Big Towing & Recovery a call at 651-955-6475 or fill out the form to the right and Michelle will get back with you quickly. Speaking of classic cars, Smitty Big Towing & Recovery specializes in transporting classic cars. If you have a classic car that you need transporting, visit our Classic Cars Towing page for more detailed information. |

"Michelle is an angel. I have never worked with anyone so patient, kind, and helpful. Her job is to schedule towing, but she did SO MUCH MORE.
Two days before our big cross country move, our car was wrecked. We were scrambling to find someone to do the work quickly and affordably. We finally found someone in the St. Paul area and just needed a tow. We found Smitty's on Craigslist and what a blessing. Michelle gave us an excellent rate (and accommodated our special payment needs) and we were on our way.
Well, we thought we were and then all of our plans fell through. In one day we had two different mechanics flake on us (the second one just minutes before our appointment)! All the while, we stayed in close contact with Michelle, and she worked with us with all of our scheduling, canceling, and rescheduling. After nearly giving up, she referred us to her mechanic.
I have never experienced anyone more professional and kind. At any point she could have stopped working with us, but she didn't. I personally spoke to her 15 times (I counted) and she spoke with my spouse at least half a dozen times. Without her help, I would probably still be crying and feeling absolutely loss, powerless, and trapped. We are back in business!
If I am ever in MN again and I need a tow, I am calling Smitty's."
