If you're reading this from the shoulder of Highway 97, you do not need a 4,000-word essay first. You need the right truck, the right dispatcher information and a realistic estimate. Start with the quick-call table below; the rest of the guide helps with snow recovery, AWD/EV flatbeds, heavy vehicles, insurance and avoiding surprise charges.

Immediate danger? If you are in a live traffic lane, there is a crash with injuries, a vehicle is in a dangerous position or you otherwise need emergency response, call 911 rather than shopping tow companies from the roadway.
What to tell the dispatcher - before they send a truck
Have this ready:
- Exact location - map pin, address, highway/milepost, cross street or landmark.
- Year / make / model - “Subaru” is less useful than “2024 Outback.”
- What happened - dead battery, flat tire, collision, no-start, transmission issue, stuck in snow, etc.
- Can it roll, steer and shift into neutral?
- AWD / 4WD / EV / hybrid?
- Any trailer, roof box, bike rack, oversized tires or modifications?
- Where is it going? Repair shop, dealer, home, storage yard.
- Insurance / AAA / roadside plan? Tell them before payment gets complicated.
For a snowbank or off-road recovery
Also tell dispatch:
- how far off the maintained road you are
- whether the car is high-centered
- how deep the snow/mud/sand is
- whether wheels/axles appear damaged
- whether there is safe truck access
- whether you slid downhill or are near a drop-off
A tow and a recovery/winch-out are not the same job.
Which Bend towing company fits the job?
All Seasons Towing & Recovery
Best for: 24/7 passenger-vehicle towing, roadside assistance and Central Oregon snow/off-road problems.
All Seasons Towing & Recovery currently advertises towing plus jump starts, tire changes and other roadside service with 24/7 availability.
Current basics:
- Phone: 541-480-6519
- Address: 20206 Powers Rd, Bend, OR 97702
- Published services: towing, roadside assistance, recovery, snow/off-road assistance
This is one of the more obvious first calls if your car is stuck rather than simply broken down in a parking lot.
Tell them up front: if you are on a forest road, in deep snow, off an embankment or need more than a straightforward pull.
Consolidated Towing
Best for: heavy-duty towing, RVs, commercial trucks, serious recovery and situations where a broad fleet matters.
Consolidated Towing has operated in Bend since 1988 and currently advertises 24/7 live dispatch, towing/recovery and roadside service with equipment ranging well beyond standard passenger-car towing.
Current basics:
- Phone: 541-389-8080
- Address: 1000 SE 9th St, Bend, OR 97702
- Dispatch: 24/7
- Scope: passenger vehicles through heavier commercial/RV work and recovery
Federal carrier information currently shows Consolidated Towing Inc.’s USDOT registration as active in 2026.
If you are calling about a motorhome, delivery truck, semi, larger trailer combination or complex recovery, tell dispatch the full dimensions/vehicle type immediately.
TRAC Towing
Best for: flatbed towing, passenger vehicles, motorcycles, RVs, winch-outs and general 24-hour roadside work.
TRAC Towing currently says its fleet includes six trucks, including three flatbeds, with 24-hour dispatch every day of the year.
Current basics:
- Phone: 541-317-8722
- Address: 64154 N Hwy 97, Bend, OR 97701
- Published services: towing, recovery, winch-outs, jump starts, lockouts, fuel delivery, tire changes
- Vehicle types listed: cars, trucks, RVs, delivery trucks, motorcycles
TRAC also says it works with many insurance and roadside-assistance companies.
Good first question for AWD/EV/low-clearance cars: “Can you send a flatbed appropriate for this vehicle and its current condition?”
Abbas Towing
Best for: Bend + north Central Oregon coverage, general towing/roadside and situations involving a stored or impounded vehicle.
Abbas Towing currently lists locations in both Bend and Terrebonne and says emergency roadside assistance is available 24/7.
Current basics:
- Phone: 541-548-4141
- Bend location: 61543 American Loop, Bend, OR 97702
- Terrebonne: 925 Central Ave, Terrebonne, OR 97760
The company’s current FAQ also publishes information about what owners may need when retrieving an impounded vehicle, which can be useful if the problem is not a voluntary roadside tow.
Bend Towing & Recovery
Best for: local towing, recovery and ordinary roadside assistance in Bend/Deschutes County.
Current business and BBB information still show Bend Towing & Recovery active at:
- Phone: 541-588-0149
- Address: 222 SE 9th St, Bend, OR 97702
- Hours: listed 24/7
Current business descriptions include towing/recovery plus lockouts, fuel delivery, flat tires and work with roadside/insurance programs such as AAA/Agero.
The old guide linked only to Yelp. We replaced that with current business verification and direct phone information.
Central Towing Inc.
Best for: people who want to compare a newer, smaller Central Oregon operator against the larger fleets.
Central Towing Inc. is a newer company - current BBB information says the business started in March 2024 - and current listings show 541-508-6502 with 24-hour service in the Bend/Redmond area.
Because public information is thinner than for long-running companies above, ask dispatch specifically about:
- truck type
- service area
- insurance billing
- destination mileage
- recovery/winching capability if needed
PROS - Preferred Roadside Solutions
Best for: when you need roadside help but may not need a tow truck.
Preferred Roadside Solutions describes itself around light-duty roadside work including:
- jump starts
- tire changes
- lockouts
- fuel delivery
Its current company information lists Bend among the markets it serves and says it partners with motor clubs/insurance programs.
If the problem is simply keys locked in the car or a dead battery, sending a roadside technician can be more efficient than dispatching a rollback.
Companies removed from the old guide
We did not automatically carry every old listing into 2026.
Central Oregon Towing Co.
The old guide linked to centraloregontowing.com. That site was not functioning when re-checked, so we removed the company from the core verified shortlist rather than pretending the old information is current.
Undertow Towing
An Undertow site still exists, but current Bend contact/service information was too thin to place it above the providers we could verify more confidently. It is not being presented as a core recommendation until we can confirm the useful details a stranded driver actually needs.
Fake-looking customer quotes
The previous page included unattributed “What people are saying” quotations. Those are gone. For an emergency-service page, current phone numbers, truck capability and dispatch details are more useful than copied review snippets.
Flatbed vs. wheel-lift: what should you ask for?
You do not need to diagnose the tow method yourself, but you should give dispatch enough information to choose correctly.
Ask about a flatbed when:
- your owner’s manual specifies it
- you have an AWD vehicle and wheel-lift/dolly procedure is unclear
- you have an EV with manufacturer-specific towing instructions
- the vehicle is very low
- suspension/wheel damage makes rolling risky
- the car is a collector/performance vehicle
Tell them if wheels are locked
A “flatbed tow” can still require extra work if the car will not roll or steer. Say so before the truck arrives.
For an EV, tell them which EV. Some vehicles have transport modes, neutral procedures or restrictions intended to prevent drivetrain damage.
Snow recovery around Bend and Mt. Bachelor
Central Oregon winter towing is not just “hook up the car and go.”
If you slid off:
- Stay out of traffic if you can do so safely.
- Do not repeatedly spin the tires and bury the chassis deeper.
- Give dispatch a pin and description of the road surface/shoulder.
- Tell them whether chains/traction tires are on the vehicle.
- Mention if the car is below road grade or against a snow berm.
- If conditions are unsafe for you to stand outside, stay in a safe protected location.
A winch-out may cost differently than a normal tow
The truck may need:
- additional rigging
- multiple pull angles
- traffic control
- more time on scene
- a different recovery vehicle
That is why you should ask for the pricing structure before assuming the price of a normal local tow applies.
Off-road recovery is not permission to drive anywhere
All Seasons, Consolidated and other companies advertise recovery capability, but a tow truck being able to reach you does not make an off-road route legal or wise.
If you are on Forest Service / BLM land, stay on routes open to your vehicle type and current season. Recovery can also become far more difficult during snow, wildfire closures or muddy shoulder seasons.
Heavy-duty, RV and trailer towing
If you are driving an RV, commercial truck or towing a trailer, do not just say “my truck broke down.”
Give dispatch:
- tow vehicle make/model
- approximate GVWR if known
- trailer type
- overall length
- whether trailer brakes/axles are functional
- cargo/load information if commercial
- exact location and shoulder width
Consolidated is the clearest first call in this guide for heavy-duty work because its current site/fleet information explicitly spans larger equipment and recovery.
Motorcycle towing
Motorcycles require proper securement - they should not be treated as tiny cars.
TRAC specifically lists motorcycle towing. Other providers may handle bikes too; tell dispatch the motorcycle make/model and whether it can roll before the truck is sent.
Jump start, battery, tire, lockout or tow?
A lot of roadside calls do not end in a tow.
Dead battery
A jump may be enough if the battery is discharged but the charging system is healthy. If it immediately dies again or the alternator is not charging, you may still need a tow.
Flat tire
Tell dispatch whether you have:
- a usable spare
- wheel-lock key
- jack/tools
- aftermarket wheels
- multiple damaged tires
No spare + shredded tire usually means tow/transport rather than “tire change.”
Lockout
If a child, pet or vulnerable person is locked inside in dangerous heat/cold, treat it as an emergency - not a normal locksmith-shopping problem.
Out of fuel
Tell them fuel type. A gasoline delivery does not help a diesel vehicle.
AAA / insurance / roadside plans: call them or the tow company first?
There are two common paths.
Use the roadside plan first
Best if:
- you know towing is covered
- you are not in immediate danger
- you want direct billing
- you can tolerate the plan’s dispatch process
Call a local tower directly
Can make sense if:
- you are in a difficult location
- the plan is not finding a provider
- you need a specific truck type
- you are willing to pay and seek reimbursement if your policy allows it
Before self-dispatching, ask your insurer/club what documentation it requires for reimbursement. A receipt may need origin, destination, mileage and service type.
What should a tow cost in Bend?
We intentionally removed the old page’s unsupported “$75–$200” generic price claim.
A towing bill can change based on:
- base/hookup fee
- loaded mileage
- truck type
- vehicle size/weight
- winching/recovery time
- after-hours conditions
- highway/off-road access
- storage
- impound/admin fees
- special equipment
Ask this instead
“Before you dispatch, can you explain the estimated charges for the hookup, mileage and any recovery/winching you expect from what I’ve described?”
For a straightforward scheduled tow, ask for an estimate from origin to exact destination.
For a recovery, the company may not be able to quote an exact total until it sees the scene - but it should be able to explain the rate structure.
Impound towing is a different situation
If your vehicle was towed at the direction of law enforcement or from private property, you may not be choosing the tow company at all.
Before going to the yard, ask:
- what release paperwork is required
- who must be present
- accepted proof of ownership
- ID requirements
- payment methods
- business/release hours
- whether a police/agency release is needed
- current storage/administrative charges
Abbas, for example, publishes specific impound-retrieval guidance on its current site.
Where should you tow the car?
If you do not already have a mechanic, do not make the tow driver choose your repair strategy for you.
Options can include:
- brand dealership for warranty/recall/specialized diagnostics
- independent repair shop
- tire shop
- collision center after an accident
- home if you plan to diagnose it yourself
See our current Bend car dealership guide if a dealer is the right destination, or our local service guides for repair-related help.
What to keep in the car before you need a tow
For Bend/Central Oregon:
- warm layer / blanket in winter
- flashlight/headlamp
- phone charger or battery bank
- reflective vest or light
- basic first-aid kit
- water
- tire-pressure gauge
- owner’s manual / digital manual access
- insurance + roadside numbers
- wheel-lock key if your wheels use one
- traction devices when conditions require them
Keep the wheel-lock key somewhere a roadside technician can actually find it.
Bend towing FAQ
Are Bend tow companies available 24/7?
Several verified options in this guide currently advertise 24/7 service or dispatch, including All Seasons, Consolidated, TRAC, Abbas emergency roadside and Bend Towing & Recovery. Staffing and response capacity still vary with weather, location and call volume.
Who should I call for a semi or large RV?
Consolidated Towing is the clearest first call based on its published heavy-duty fleet/capabilities. Tell dispatch vehicle size and configuration before they send equipment.
Who can get a car out of snow or a ditch?
All Seasons, Consolidated, TRAC and other recovery operators handle winch/recovery work. Explain how far the car is off the road and whether it is below grade, high-centered or damaged.
Should an AWD car go on a flatbed?
It depends on the vehicle and approved towing procedure. Tell dispatch it is AWD and check your owner’s manual. Ask for equipment/method appropriate to the manufacturer guidance and the car’s current condition.
Can a tow company jump my battery or unlock my car?
Yes. Most full towing companies here advertise roadside services, and PROS focuses on light-duty roadside calls such as jump starts, lockouts, tire changes and fuel delivery.
How quickly will a tow truck arrive?
Do not trust a universal “30–60 minute” promise. ETA depends on active calls, weather, distance, traffic and the truck/equipment you need. Ask dispatch for its current ETA for your exact location.
Will insurance pay for my tow?
Maybe. Coverage and mileage limits depend on your auto policy, motor club or vehicle program. Ask whether the tower can bill your provider directly or what receipt/documentation you need for reimbursement.
Last checked
We re-checked these companies and contact details on September 3, 2026. Towing is one category where phone numbers and 24-hour status matter more than polished website copy, so call to confirm current availability and pricing at the time you need service.
