On the Job in Cary, NC: Our Tow Trucks in Photos

WTF Towing wrecker lit up at night in Cary, NC

Most of what we post on this blog is advice: what to do on the shoulder of US-1, why your battery died on the first cold morning, what a winch-out actually costs. This one is just pictures. These are our trucks, on real calls, in the Cary neighborhoods, parking lots and roadsides where we work every day. If you’ve ever wondered who shows up when you call (919) 230-4498, this is who.

All of these photos (and more) live on our Google Business Profile, where 580+ customers have left reviews of how their call went. If we’ve helped you, a Google review is the best thank-you there is.

The rollbacks

Our flatbeds do most of the work: anything with all-wheel drive, anything low, anything damaged, and anything you’d rather not have rolling on its own wheels rides up here. You’ll see them all over Cary, Morrisville and Apex.

The wheel-lift wreckers

The Ram wreckers are the quick-response trucks. They fit in parking decks and tight lots where a flatbed can’t, they handle jump starts, lockouts, tire changes and winch-outs, and they tow anything a flatbed isn’t required for.

Why the photos matter

When you call a towing number, you don’t always know who’s coming. Some numbers are call centers that farm the job out to whoever answers. WTF Towing runs its own trucks with its own drivers, based right here in the Cary and Morrisville area, and what shows up looks like the pictures above: a clean, marked truck with our name and number on the door. That’s true at 2 p.m. and at 2 a.m., on Christmas Day and on a Tuesday.

We keep our Google profile updated with new photos as we go, so if you want to see what we’ve been up to lately, that’s the place to look. And if you’re trying to figure out which truck you need, our guide to tow truck types explains when each one comes out.

Common questions

Can I request a flatbed?

Yes. Tell us the vehicle when you call and we’ll send the right truck; for AWD, electric and low cars we send the flatbed automatically.

Are these your trucks or contractors?

Ours. Our trucks, our drivers, our name and phone number on the door.

Where can I leave a review?

Right here on Google. It takes about a minute and it helps the next stranded driver find us.
