Call to check current availability. Austin service eligibility is unverified for every category on this page. Availability must be checked for your exact location. A suitable provider, equipment and permitted pickup access must be confirmed before a request can be accepted. Call 911 for immediate danger, a fire or a medical emergency.
Locate an existing tow before arranging collection
Austin Police's Wrecker Enforcement page directs people whose vehicles were taken from a public road to 311, the city-linked vehicle search or 888-217-9731. For a parking-lot tow, it points to the towing contact on the lot's entrance or exit signs and also provides the search route. Tell the contact where the vehicle was taken from, then confirm its present holding location. Use the official page to reach the current search link.

For a present highway problem
TxDOT's Austin Highway Emergency Response Operator (HERO) program page lists 512-974-4376 for assistance. It describes a state highway-response program with specified routes. Identify the exact roadway and direction and check whether the current position fits that program. If a responder is already involved, explain that before arranging another provider. Rezcues participation in the TxDOT program or permission to enter a managed road is not established here.

Prepare a usable pickup description
For a roadside vehicle, give the road, direction and nearest exit or intersection you already know. Explain whether it is in a lane, shoulder, ramp or frontage road. For a parking lot or garage, give the entrance, level, posted clearance and an access contact. For a vehicle in storage, provide the confirmed facility and collection requirements.
Have the year, make, model, drivetrain, visible warnings and callback number ready. Say whether the keys are available and whether the vehicle rolls, steers or brakes. Describe damage and name your intended destination. You do not need to diagnose or inspect the vehicle beside traffic to begin an inquiry.
Ten service categories to discuss
Light-duty towing
Explain the car's condition and where it should go. Mention an electric drivetrain, all-wheel drive, low clearance or damage. Confirm a suitable method, pickup permission and receiving arrangements before accepting transport. If a responder has moved the vehicle, update the pickup information rather than using the original breakdown point.
Battery jump starts
Describe the symptoms when the vehicle will not start, including any warnings. Identify whether it is gasoline, diesel, hybrid or electric. Ask whether a jump-start assessment is appropriate for the model and what alternatives apply if it remains disabled. Starting successfully does not resolve every electrical problem.
Flat tire assistance
Identify the affected tire, whether there is a usable spare and whether a wheel-lock key may be needed. Ask whether a spare change can be considered at the exact location. Repairs, replacement tires and mobile fitting are separate capabilities. If a change is unsuitable, discuss transport and a receiving destination.
Vehicle lockouts
Explain whether the key is inside, missing or not being recognized. Entry assistance, replacement keys and programming can require different arrangements. Ask what proof of ownership or permission is needed. If someone is trapped and facing immediate danger, call 911 before pursuing an ordinary lockout request.
Emergency fuel
Provide the known fuel type and explain how the vehicle stopped. Ask whether delivery is suitable at that location and what the next step would be if it fails to restart. Report leakage, incorrect fueling or damage. Fuel delivery does not establish mobile EV charging.
Motorcycle towing
Give the make, model and condition, including whether the wheels roll and whether the steering is locked. Mention a trike, sidecar or other modification. Confirm appropriate loading and securing equipment, pickup access and the destination. Travel for the rider and storage require separate arrangements.
Winch-out
Describe the vehicle's position, surface, slope, damage and access route. Report water or other hazards without approaching them. A provider must assess the recovery and equipment before accepting the work. Ask whether transport afterward is included. No recovery method or permission to enter the site is established by this category.
EV towing
State the exact model, displayed warnings and remaining charge if known. Ask for transport consistent with the manufacturer's instructions. Confirm compatibility and access before choosing a charging site as the destination. Mobile charging and high-voltage repair are unverified. Report collision damage, flooding, smoke or unusual heat.
Medium-duty towing
For a commercial van or larger work vehicle, provide known specifications, dimensions and load details. Include any trailer, modifications or damage affecting movement. Equipment capacity, cargo restrictions, access and the receiving destination need assessment. Identify who can approve the job; no Austin capacity is established here.
Motor Clubs, Insurance & Fleets
Identify the benefit program or organization, approving contact and required process. Check whether assistance has already been assigned before arranging a separate service. Reimbursement, direct billing, purchase-order handling, fleet contracts and integrations require separate confirmation. A program relationship needs its own discussion beyond the immediate request.
Questions before accepting assistance
What if the car disappeared from a parking lot?
Use the official Austin Police guidance to identify the lot's towing contact or the city-linked search. Establish the current holding location before proposing an onward tow.
Does a TxDOT program contact confirm a Rezcues dispatch?
No. The public highway program has its own request process. For Rezcues, ask whether a suitable provider has accepted your particular vehicle and location.
Can transport be arranged from storage?
Ask after the holding facility confirms collection requirements. The prospective provider must still accept the vehicle, pickup access and destination.
What should the agreed job include?
Confirm the provider, work included, total quote, destination and how additional work would be authorized. Ask about an arrival estimate for the accepted request rather than assuming one from a general inquiry.
