From I-270 to quiet cul-de-sacs, we tow cars, trucks, and big rigs.
St. Louis County's Family-Owned Towing Team
Dozens of municipalities, several major interstates, and one local towing company ready to help wherever your vehicle stops in St. Louis County.
Towing Across the Entire County
St. Louis County wraps around the city with close to ninety municipalities, each with its own streets, traffic patterns, and parking challenges. Interstate 270 loops around the whole area, while I-64, I-44, I-55, I-70, and I-170 carry commuters and freight in every direction. Add the traffic around St. Louis Lambert International Airport and the river crossings on the Missouri and Meramec, and it is no surprise that breakdowns happen every day. Lewis Towing is a family-owned company that serves the county from north to south and east to west. We send professional operators who know the interchanges and back streets, and we bring a truck sized for your vehicle. Whether you drive a compact car, a work van, or a loaded tractor-trailer, you get clear communication and careful handling.
Complete Towing From Light to Heavy
Lewis Towing handles the full range of vehicles you see on St. Louis area roads. Light-duty towing covers sedans, SUVs, minivans, and pickups, using flatbed and wheel-lift methods that protect your drivetrain, bumpers, and wheels. Medium-duty towing is built for box trucks, cargo vans, shuttle buses, and service vehicles that keep local businesses running. Heavy-duty towing moves semi-trucks, dump trucks, buses, and construction equipment that a standard wrecker simply cannot lift. When a vehicle has left the pavement, our winching and recovery service brings it back to solid ground under control. And when you do not need a tow at all, roadside assistance takes care of jump-starts, flat tire changes, lockouts, and fuel delivery on the spot. Each call is handled by a professional operator who explains the plan and treats your vehicle with care.
Why County Drivers Call Lewis Towing
Heavy-duty capability matters in a county crossed by I-270, I-70, and I-44, where tractor-trailers and commercial fleets are part of every commute. When a big rig breaks down, our heavy-duty towing equipment has the capacity to clear it safely. Medium-duty trucks handle the box trucks and delivery vans that serve business parks from Earth City to Fenton, and light-duty towing takes care of the family cars and SUVs parked in driveways from Florissant to Kirkwood. Winching and recovery bring vehicles back from ditches, embankments, and flooded low spots near the Meramec and Missouri rivers. For smaller problems, roadside assistance solves dead batteries, flats, and lockouts without the cost of a tow. Through it all, you are working with a family-owned company that values honesty, respect, and professional results on every single call.
What details does a tow operator need to move a broken-down semi?
Share the tractor make and model, whether a trailer is attached, what the load is, and roughly how heavy it is. Let dispatch know the exact location, including direction of travel and mile marker, and describe the problem, such as a blown tire, air brake issue, or engine failure. Those details help the operator bring the right heavy-duty truck and rigging.
Can I choose my own repair shop after my car is towed?
In most situations, yes. You can typically have your vehicle taken to your preferred mechanic, a dealership, a body shop approved by your insurer, or your home. Call the shop ahead to confirm they can accept it, especially after hours. If police are directing the scene after a crash, there may be separate rules, so ask the officer about your options.
Why do tow trucks sometimes use a flatbed instead of a hook?
Flatbeds lift the entire vehicle off the road, which protects all-wheel-drive systems, low-clearance cars, and vehicles with heavy damage. Traditional hook-and-chain methods have largely been replaced by wheel-lift systems, which raise one end and work well for many front- or rear-wheel-drive vehicles. The operator chooses the method that best fits your car's drivetrain and condition.
