About Charlie Towing Talk to Charlie · (734) 720-2188
A local towing company Westland drivers actually trust
Charlie Towing started with one truck, one phone line, and a simple promise: answer every call, show up fast, and treat a stranger's vehicle like it belongs to family. Today that promise still runs the business. Charlie personally trains every operator who drives for us, and he still takes calls himself when the roads get busy.
We know these streets. Ford Road at rush hour, the I-275 shoulder in a snow squall, the parking decks downtown where clearance matters. That local knowledge is why our arrival times stay short while other companies are still pulling up a map. Our flatbeds, wheel-lift equipment and recovery gear are modern, inspected and matched to your vehicle, not forced onto it.
Just as important, we quote honestly before the truck rolls. No mystery fees at drop-off, no pressure, no upselling a tow when a jump start or a tire change gets you home. That is how a roadside emergency turns into a customer who saves our number.

FAQ
Questions drivers ask before they call
Yes. Charlie Towing runs dispatch around the clock, every day of the year. Breakdowns rarely happen at convenient hours, so a live operator answers your call at 2 a.m. the same way we do at 2 p.m. and a truck is rolling within minutes.
Sedans, SUVs, crossovers, minivans, light trucks, motorcycles, classic cars, lowered and exotic vehicles, and light commercial equipment. If you are unsure whether your vehicle fits, call (734) 720-2188 and we will match the right truck and equipment to the job.
Flatbed towing is our specialty. All four wheels stay off the pavement, which protects transmissions, drivetrains, bumpers and alignment. It is the safest option for AWD vehicles, low-clearance cars and any vehicle involved in a collision.
Yes. Our operators use professional, non-marring lockout tools designed for modern door seals, sensors and side-impact airbags. Most Westland-area lockouts are opened in under five minutes with zero damage to paint, glass or weatherstripping.
We do. We test your battery, alternator output and charging system right at the roadside. If the battery is finished, we install a fresh one on the spot so you are not paying for a tow you never needed.
Inside Westland and neighboring communities such as Livonia, Garden City, Wayne and Canton, our typical arrival window is 20 to 35 minutes. Longer highway runs across Metro Detroit take a little more time, and dispatch gives you an honest ETA before you hang up.
Yes. We bring enough gasoline or diesel to get you safely to the nearest station, and we can jump the vehicle at the same time if the tank ran dry and the battery drained.
Absolutely. Michigan winters and soft shoulders put plenty of vehicles off the pavement. Our recovery trucks use winches, straps and proper rigging points to pull your vehicle out without tearing up the frame or body panels.
We are based in Westland and cover the surrounding Metro Detroit corridor, plus long-distance calls throughout Michigan including Ann Arbor, Detroit, Dearborn, Troy, Warren, Sterling Heights, Flint, Lansing and Grand Rapids.
