About us

TowGator is an online marketplace that gives you quick access to vetted companies near you that provide towing services and roadside assistance across the United States.

Who we are

Founded by tech entrepreneur Al Lijee, TowGator was designed to meet a need for giving customers better choice and transparency when looking for towing and roadside assistance at the best possible price.

When it comes to calling a mobile mechanic for emergency roadside assistance and towing services, far too often customers feel like they’re rolling the dice when it comes to how fast the response will come, whether or not the company will provide quality repairs, and of course the fear of paying far more than anticipated.

In early 2020, he set about designing and launching a new online marketplace to provide all these services, and thus TowGator was born. Initially covering the New York area, this network has grown to cover many parts of the USA as more and more businesses are brought on board our platform.

We are now rated the Number One online marketplace in our field, and our purpose is to help people who are looking to connect with professional towing companies and mobile mechanics for roadside assistance. The size of our operation gives us the advantage of offering a wide-ranging set of services to our customers.

With more than 800 companies listed on our network, we offer the widest possible array of services, including:

• Reliable and vetted towing companies and roadside assistance mechanics near you;
• Rapid response for towing and roadside assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Every month we receive thousands of requests for emergency roadside assistance through our platform. The companies featured on the site only need to pay a small subscription fee to be listed.
