AI Towing Dispatch and 24/7 Answering, Mapped to How You Run
Tow Deputy is an AI towing dispatcher and receptionist. It answers in under two seconds, quotes your rate card, and texts a finished job. Pick the page that matches the problem — nights, overflow, one truck, or a small fleet.
What these pages are for
Tow Deputy is one product. The pages below are eight ways operators search for it. AI towing dispatch is quote, book, and driver alert; the AI towing receptionist is triage and the front desk. Starter is $99/mo with a 14-day free trial. According to TheKeyBot's 2026 research, 85% of emergency callers will not leave a voicemail.
All eight solutions
AI Towing Dispatch
AI towing dispatch answers every call in under two seconds, quotes your rate card, and texts a finished job. Starter is $99 a month. Towbook and Omadi handoff is SMS plus the dashboard; native two-way sync is not built yet.
AI Towing Receptionist
An AI receptionist for towing companies answers like a trained front desk: triage, location, price, and deposit. It is the phone half of dispatch, not a callback note. A human answering service still wins on distressed callers and motor-club negotiation.
Towing Answering Service
A towing answering service should book a priced job, not leave a message. Tow Deputy quotes your rates, handles simultaneous calls, and bills a flat $99 a month instead of per-minute fees that jump on busy Friday nights and holidays.
After-Hours Coverage
After-hours towing answering covers nights, weekends, and holidays you cannot staff. Night-Time Alerts let you choose which jobs wake you. Forward after hours only, quote night surcharges from your rate card, and stop midnight calls from hitting voicemail.
Roadside Assistance
Roadside assistance answering takes lockouts, jump starts, tire changes, and winch-outs, each at its own rate. The AI triages tow versus roadside, quotes the flat, and texts the job. It is for cash roadside work, not motor-club rate negotiation.
Owner-Operators
For one-truck owner-operators who cannot answer while winching or strapping. Keep your number, go live in under 24 hours, and get an SMS summary so you decide. Starter at $99 a month is built for a single operator.
Small Fleets
For two-to-ten truck fleets that need structured intake so the closest equipped driver can roll. Every driver gets the web app. Growth at $199 a month adds Smart Deposits. Works alongside Towbook or Omadi via SMS and dashboard handoff.
Motor Club & Agero
If Agero or another motor club fills your calendar, your cash line is the one that rings out. Tow Deputy answers that retail number 24/7 and quotes your rates. It does not accept club dispatches. Not affiliated with Agero.

Solutions FAQs
What is the difference between AI towing dispatch and an AI receptionist?
They are the same Tow Deputy agent, described from two sides of the call. Dispatch is the job path: intake, quote, book, and driver alert. Reception is the front-desk path: triage, FAQs, and who gets a person. Most shops start on one page and use both once the phone is forwarded.
How much does Tow Deputy cost?
Starter is $99/mo with 290 calls and a 14-day free trial. Growth is $199/mo with 590 calls and Smart Deposits. Extra calls are $0.30 each or $30 per 100. There is no unpaid plan and no hardware. Single operators usually start on Starter; small fleets usually pick Growth.
Does Tow Deputy work with Towbook or Omadi?
Tow Deputy works alongside Towbook, Omadi, and other dispatch software today through SMS and dashboard handoff. You enter the job manually. Native two-way sync is on the roadmap and is not built yet. Do not expect the call to create a Towbook or Omadi ticket by itself.
Who is Tow Deputy built for?
One-truck owner-operators, 2–10 truck fleets, and roadside-only shops that want every cash call answered. It is weaker on live motor-club negotiation and police-rotation politics. Those stay with a person. Trusted by 100+ towing and roadside operators, with a live demo line you can call before you forward anything.
