Broke down in Raleigh? Call (919) 230-4498. A WTF Towing truck is on the way, any hour, any day.
We’re based just west of Raleigh in the Cary–Morrisville area, which puts us minutes from West Raleigh, NC State, the PNC Arena district, Crabtree and everything along I-40 and Wade Avenue — and a normal run from downtown, North Hills, Capital Boulevard and North Raleigh.

Raleigh highways: what to do if you break down
On I-40, I-440 or I-540, get all the way onto the shoulder, put your hazards on, and stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt on. Don’t stand behind the car and don’t try to change a tire on the traffic side. Call us with the nearest exit number or mile marker and the direction you’re heading. Our drivers work feet from moving traffic — North Carolina’s Move Over law exists for them, so slow down and move over when you see amber lights ahead.

Based in the Cary–Morrisville area
Raleigh is a short run from our base in the Cary–Morrisville area, not a long one. When you call, you get which truck is coming and an honest ETA.
What happens when you call
1. You call
Tell us where you are and what's going on. A cross street, a business name, or a dropped pin all work.
2. You get the price
Upfront, before the truck rolls, with a real ETA.
3. We roll
The driver calls when he's close. On a highway shoulder, stay in the vehicle; in a lot, wait somewhere safe.
4. You're moving
We hook up, secure the vehicle, and take it home, to your shop, to the dealer, or to a shop we trust.

Raleigh towing questions
Which parts of Raleigh do you reach fastest?
West Raleigh, including NC State, PNC Arena, Crabtree and the I-40 and Wade Avenue corridors, because WTF Towing is based just west of the city.
Can you get my car out of a downtown parking deck?
Yes. The wheel-lift wrecker fits where a flatbed can’t.
Do you tow after an accident on the Beltline?
Yes, 24/7. Get to the shoulder, stay in the vehicle, and call with the nearest exit or mile marker.
Will you tow from Raleigh to Cary, Durham or out of town?
Yes. Triangle-wide tows are quoted upfront; long-distance runs go on a rollback carrier.
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!
