First you may decide to have a towing service on site that only tows for you. This can be great because you will always have someone to tow people if they call you. However it can be quite costly since they are only working for you they may ask you to pay a little more.

Next you could consider getting your own tow truck and all the certifications that are needed. This is great because you will always have the tow truck on site to go pick up cars. You will also be receiving the extra money that the customer pays for the towing service. However, it can be expensive to purchase the truck, insurance and whatever else you may need to operate it.

Or you may want just have an agreement with a towing company that they will recommend you to customers or you can recommend them to tow your customers to your shop. This is great for both businesses. The only down fall of this is that they will work for other business or independent car owners so they may not be as quick since they may be handling other customers. This is a great arrangement other than that.
