Broke down in Apex? Call (919) 230-4498. A WTF Towing truck is on the way, any hour, any day.
Apex sits right between our base in the Cary–Morrisville area and the lake, and we’re on its roads every day. A dead battery at Beaver Creek Commons, a flat on the US-1 shoulder, a car that slid off Old US-1 in the rain, a piece of equipment sunk in gravel on a job site — we’ve done all of it here, with our own trucks and our own drivers.
When your car makes you say WTF, you call WTF Towing.

Where we work in Apex
All of Apex, 27502 and 27523: downtown along Salem Street and the Apex Peakway loop, US-1 and US-64 through town, NC-55 toward Holly Springs, NC-540, Ten-Ten Road, Kelly Road, Laura Duncan Road, Olive Chapel Road, Jenks Road and the new neighborhoods out toward Jordan Lake. Beaver Creek Commons, Bella Casa, Haddon Hall, Scotts Mill, Abbington, Walden Creek, Sweetwater, and the Apex Friendship area. If you have an Apex address or you’re passing through on US-1, we cover you.
Equipment and job-site recovery in Apex
Apex is growing fast, and construction sites come with stuck equipment. One of our better-known jobs was a man lift buried in gravel on an Apex site — the kind of recovery that needs a real winch, the right rigging and someone who’s done it before. If you’ve got a skid steer, a lift, a trailer or a work truck that isn’t going anywhere under its own power, call us before you make it worse.
“Tow truck near me” — what near actually means in Apex
A “tow truck near me” search in Apex ranks companies by how close they are to your phone, and from our base in the Cary–Morrisville area, Apex is a straight shot down NC-55 or US-64. Whether you are on Salem Street downtown, in the Beaver Creek Commons lot, on the Apex Peakway, out Olive Chapel Road or Ten-Ten Road, or on the US-1 and NC-540 stretches that run through town, the truck that answers is one of ours — our own drivers, our own equipment, not a dispatcher reselling the job to whoever is free.
Near matters most on the roads where Apex drivers actually break down: the US-64 bypass between Cary and the Jordan Lake side, NC-55 through downtown at rush hour, and the subdivisions that keep going up west of the Peakway, where new asphalt meets soft shoulders. Give us the cross street or the business name and the direction you were headed, and the driver finds you the first time.
What you get from a truck that is actually near: a real ETA instead of an optimistic one, a quote before the truck rolls, and a driver who knows that “the shopping center on 64” means Beaver Creek Commons. The same trucks cover Cary, Holly Springs and New Hill, and towing in Cary and the Triangle 24 hours a day.

What Cary drivers say
My EV6 high voltage system warning failed on July 4th.WTF came and got me dropped off to the dealership and on my way. Really appreciate the ride and the rescue.
Darius is the man ! The brother went out his way to get my car towed when steering wheel was locked. Above and beyond ! And got it to my house safely
Showed up when they said they would. Took pictures of the car from every angle. Made sure the car would clear the ramp because it’s low to the ground. And to top it all off, the driver was very personable as well! I would highly recommend WTF Towing.
I hope I have it correct. I think his name was Ricardo, but he was absolutely amazing, very friendly, very informative. I mean, the service was absolutely wonderful. I kid you not, if I could give 10 stars, I would. Very professional, keep up the good work.
These guys are awesome! They had to tow my Jeep twice (Imagine that a broken Jeep) already to two different shops. They are quick, professional and know what they are doing!
