Towing & Roadside in Canton, Ohio

A local tow under 10 miles in Canton runs $75 to $150. Long-distance tows are $3 to $6 per mile after the hookup fee. Heavy-duty tows (RVs, large trucks) start at $250 and run up to $600. Most Canton tow operators charge a minimum hookup of $50 to $100 even for short distances. Late-night and weekend calls can add 25 to 50 percent surcharge.

Jump-start service runs $50 to $100, lockout service $50 to $120, tire change on the roadside $50 to $100, fuel delivery $50 to $100 plus the cost of fuel. If you have AAA or your insurance includes roadside (Progressive, State Farm, Geico), most of these are free up to 3 to 5 calls per year — but the response time is sometimes slower than calling a local Canton operator directly.

Depends on the cause. Tows after an accident are covered under comprehensive or collision (minus your deductible). Tows after a breakdown require a roadside assistance rider or a separate plan like AAA. Insurance won't reimburse a tow you arranged independently if you have an AAA plan that would have covered it — call your insurer or AAA before paying out of pocket.

Daytime Canton response is typically 30 to 60 minutes from a local operator. Late nights, weekends, and bad weather stretch that to 90 minutes or more. AAA dispatches through partner networks; response can be slower than a direct call. If you're in a dangerous spot (highway shoulder, blocking traffic), call 911 first — Ohio State Patrol can stage a safe-zone tow faster than commercial dispatch.

Yes — you choose the destination. Some Canton tow operators have informal relationships with specific shops, but you are not required to use the shop they suggest. Tell the operator the address before they hook up. If your insurance is paying, they may require the destination be on their approved list — confirm with your adjuster before the tow.
