You are standing in a shopping center lot off Forest Hill Blvd, holding a grocery bag and watching your car decide it is done for the day. Somewhere between the ice cream and the dashboard lights, one question moves to the front of your mind: what is this going to cost?
Fair question. Here is a straight answer.
How much does towing cost in Wellington, FL?
At Special Lane Towing Services, light-duty towing starts from $99, medium-duty from $175 and heavy-duty from $475. Your final quote depends on the distance, the vehicle and the situation, so call (561) 594-2405 and we will give you a clear number before we roll.
What are the starting prices?
These are the owner-approved starting prices for the most common calls. They are starting points, not final totals.
| Service | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Light-duty towing | From $99 |
| Medium-duty towing | From $175 |
| Heavy-duty towing | From $475 |
| Battery jump start | From $65 |
| Tire change | From $75 |
| Lockout service | From $65 |
| Fuel delivery | From $65 plus fuel |
| Winch-out recovery | From $150 |
What changes the final price?
Two cars can break down on the same road and still get different quotes. These are the usual reasons.
- Distance. A short move across Wellington is not the same job as a longer trip across Palm Beach County.
- Vehicle size and weight. A sedan is light-duty. A larger truck or equipment is medium or heavy-duty and needs a bigger tow truck.
- Where the vehicle is. A car in a parking lot is simple. A car stuck in mud or a ditch may need a winch-out first.
- Type of service. A jump start, a tire change and a tow are different jobs with different starting prices.
How do I get an exact quote?
- Call (561) 594-2405, any hour. We are open 24/7.
- Tell us where the vehicle is and where you want it to go.
- Tell us the make and model, and what happened.
- Ask for the total before the truck leaves. We will give you a clear price.
You can also send the free quote form on our home page.
What should I ask any tow company?
- Is that the starting price or the total price for my situation?
- What does the price include, and does distance change it?
- Where will my vehicle be taken, and can it go to my own mechanic?
- Will I get an itemized invoice?
Florida law also gives you some protection. Florida Statute 713.78 covers liens for recovering, towing and storing vehicles. It limits which fees can be charged and calls for rate sheets and itemized invoices, so you are entitled to see what you are paying for.

Light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty: what is the difference?
In general, light-duty towing covers everyday passenger vehicles such as sedans, SUVs and crossovers. Medium-duty covers larger vehicles that need a stronger truck. Heavy-duty is for the biggest jobs, including heavy equipment and large trucks. Because the equipment gets bigger, so does the starting price: from $99, from $175 and from $475.
If you are not sure which group your vehicle falls into, tell us the make and model when you call. We will sort it out for you.

- We ask for your location, your vehicle and where it needs to go.
- We give you a clear price for your situation.
- We send a truck to you.
- The driver loads your vehicle carefully and takes it to the address you gave us.
How can I make the call go faster?
- Know your exact location. A cross street or a business name works.
- Have the make, model and color of the vehicle ready.
- Decide where it should go: home, your mechanic or a shop.
- Tell us if the vehicle is stuck, blocked in or in a tight spot.
