Towing to Your Mechanic or Dealership in Kendall & Miami (24/7)

Getting your car to the right shop, not just the nearest one

When your car breaks down in Kendall, the question is not only "who can tow it?" but "where should it go?" Maybe you trust a mechanic you have used for years, your vehicle is still under warranty and needs to go to the dealership, or a shop already started a repair and you want the car moved somewhere else.

At E.T. Towing, we tow vehicles to the repair shop or dealership you choose across Kendall, Miami, and the rest of Miami-Dade. Call us 24/7 at (305) 310-6148, tell us where the car is and where it needs to go, and we will plan the tow with you before the truck rolls.

Breakdown tows, shop-to-shop moves, and dealership drop-offs

Most of the calls we get for towing to a mechanic fall into one of three situations:

• Breakdown tow to your mechanic: The car will not start, overheated, or is making a noise you do not want to drive on. We pick it up at home, at work, or on the roadside and bring it to the shop you trust.
• Dealership or warranty tow: Newer vehicles often need to go to a specific dealership for warranty work. We deliver the car to the dealership's service department instead of a random shop.
• Shop-to-shop transfer: Sometimes a car needs to move from one shop to another, for a second opinion, a specialist repair, or because you are not happy with how a repair is going. We can pick up from one shop and deliver to the next.

Call the shop before you call the tow

A quick call to the destination can save you time and trouble. Before we dispatch, confirm with the shop or dealership that:

• They can take the vehicle: Busy shops sometimes have limited space or long waits.
• They know it is coming: Give them your name, the vehicle, and what is wrong.
• Drop-off instructions are clear: Ask where the car should be left, whether the gate will be open, and how the keys should be handed over, especially for evenings, weekends, or holidays.

If you are not sure which shop to use yet, tell us. We can hold off on dispatch while you decide, or tow the car home and you can arrange the repair afterward.

What to tell us when you call

You do not need to know what is wrong with the car. A few details help us send the right setup and give you an accurate quote before dispatch:

• Year, make, and model, plus whether it is AWD or 4x4
• Pickup location: home, parking lot, garage, or roadside, with any gate codes or access restrictions
• Destination: the shop or dealership name and location
• Condition: whether it starts, rolls, steers, and whether the brakes or wheels seem locked
• Keys: whether the keys will be with the car or left at the shop

Photos of how the car is sitting can help, but never stand in traffic to take them.

Wheel-lift and dollies: how we move your car to the shop

We tow with a wheel-lift tow truck and wheel dollies. The wheel-lift picks up one axle, and the dollies support the other wheels so the car rides with its tires off the road. That setup lets us safely move AWD and 4x4 vehicles, cars that will not roll or steer, damaged vehicles, and low-clearance cars that need careful loading.

Because a broken-down car is not always sitting in an open lot, the wheel-lift also helps in tighter spots like driveways, townhouse parking, and shop lots with limited room. If something about your car or the pickup spot needs a different plan, we tell you before we commit.

Dropping off after hours

Breakdowns do not wait for business hours, and our phone is answered 24/7. Many repair shops and dealerships close in the evening, so ask them about after-hours drop-off before we head their way. Some have a key drop box and a designated parking area; others prefer the car arrive during business hours.

If the shop cannot receive the car until morning, we can talk through options with you, such as towing the car home first.

Warranty, insurance, and roadside coverage

Some auto insurance policies, roadside plans, and vehicle warranties include or reimburse towing. Coverage varies, so check with your provider about what is included and what documentation they need before the tow if you can. Let us know when you call if you plan to submit the tow for reimbursement.

FAQ

Can you tow my car to my own mechanic instead of a shop you choose?

Yes. You choose the destination. Give us the shop's name and location and confirm they can receive the vehicle, and we will take it there.

Can you tow my car to the dealership for warranty work?

Yes. We tow to dealership service departments across Miami-Dade. Call the dealership first so they expect the car and can tell you where to leave it and the keys.

Can you move my car from one repair shop to another?

Yes. Tell us both locations and confirm that the first shop will release the vehicle and the second shop will accept it.

Can you tow an AWD or 4x4 to the shop?

Yes. Our wheel-lift and dollies keep the tires off the road, which is how AWD and 4x4 vehicles should be towed. Let us know the drivetrain when you call.

What if the shop is closed when you arrive?

Confirm after-hours drop-off instructions with the shop before we dispatch. If they cannot receive the car, we will discuss options with you, such as towing it home until the shop opens.
