Roadside assistance
Jump starts, tire changes, fuel delivery, lockouts. Often you don’t need a tow at all — we’ll tell you straight.
Answering 24/7 — Baker City & Baker County
Emergency towing in
Baker City, Oregon.
Broke down, crashed, or just not moving another inch — one call and a truck gets pointed at you, any hour, anywhere in Baker County.
One truck, one operator, no call centre — he answers the phone himself, at any hour. If he is already on a job he will tell you how long.
Emergency towing
When it will not drive, we come get it
Light-duty towing for cars, pickups, SUVs, and vans — from wherever they quit to wherever they need to be.
Most tows are not dramatic. The engine cranks but never fires. It overheated on the grade and will not hold temperature. The transmission gave up in a parking lot, or the car simply died at a stop sign and stayed dead. Whatever the cause, the job is the same: get the vehicle where it needs to be without adding damage on the way there — and that second half is the part worth hiring carefully for.
A vehicle that made a bad mechanical noise, is leaking fluid, is all-wheel drive, or will not shift into neutral rides with all four wheels off the ground rather than dragging half a drivetrain down the highway. Tell dispatch what happened and the right truck rolls the first time. If your situation is really a winch-out — off the pavement, in a ditch, in snow — that is its own kind of job, and we do that too.
Injuries, or a vehicle blocking a live lane? Call 911 first.
They secure the scene; we handle the vehicle after.
How it works
What happens when you call
You do not get an answering service or a hold queue. HTR is one truck and one operator covering Baker County — when you call, you are talking to the person who drives it. Describe where you are, what the vehicle is, and what it is doing or not doing. He tells you straight how far out he is; if he is already on a job, you will know that too, instead of guessing.
Ten seconds of describing the problem out loud beats any form. There is very little a towing operator in this county has not seen, and often the honest answer is that you do not need a tow at all — a dead battery or a flat is roadside work, and we will say so rather than hook a car that just needed a jump.
Destinations
Where the vehicle can go
Your mechanic’s shop, your driveway, or our yard — the destination is your call, and it is fine not to have decided yet. We can hold the vehicle while you talk to your shop or your insurer, and if an adjuster wants it moved somewhere specific later, that is routine. After a collision we also handle the debris and can take the vehicle wherever the insurance company needs it.
Going further than across town? Long hauls out of the county happen all the time — a breakdown on a road trip does not have to end with a repair at whichever shop happened to be nearest. Ask on the call.

Have these ready — it’s a 30-second call
No ticket queue, no callback list. You call, he answers, and a truck gets pointed at you.
Call (541) 540-5553The 30-second checklist
- Where you are. An address, a cross street, or a highway mile marker. “Past the second cattle guard” also works out here.
- What the vehicle is. Year, make, model — and whether it is all-wheel drive, lowered, or will not shift into neutral.
- What it is doing. Or not doing. Ten seconds of description beats a form every time.
- Where it needs to go. A shop, your place, or ours — and it is fine not to have decided yet.
