Need a tow that won't bankrupt you? OBX Towing is the bomb. The great kind of bomb. They're dependable and easy to get hold of. They're honest and very dependable. Plucked my Xterra from the side of Highway 12 just north of Avon and brought to me in Salvo. His fee was way lower than everyone else I contacted and he was friendly and jolly. Trust me. When you prefer to sit on the side of the road and cry, a friendly and jolly tow makes the day a little brighter. By all means, should you find yourself in need of a tow, call OBX Towing first. They're my new best friends. read more

Buried my Tacoma in a ditch on the side of the highway in Pea Island. Randy showed up in the time he said he would be there, took control of the situation, got all traffic stopped immediately, and had my truck out of the ditch in less than 5 minutes! It was amazing! My wife and I were super impressed how fast it was. No damage to my truck either! And what a super nice guy he was! Very friendly. Absolutely recommend 1000%! read more

OBX Towing - Towing Near Me

See all

Charged to much for a 7.5 mile tow on route 12 $550 driver said because of salt water but we had already crossed the flooded are he never had to enter any water. They also damaged the front spoiler by not having proper ramps or additional blocking to load the car. Then said damage already existed. When I ask for pictures he sent me pictures of the car in our driveway like I wouldn't know the location. When I told him that the picture was after dropping it off. I ask if he had pictures before loading the car he said he thought he did but didn't. How convenient! read more

Truck wouldn't start in parking lot of Avon Wings (May 2022). Progressive Ins. didn't have roadside assistance in the area. We had to use internet to find someone. Just happenstance my wife picked OBX Towing. 20 minutes Fatdaddy shows up. Shirtless. Long hair. Must admit I was concerned. I needn't have worried. Tried jumping it, then turned toward starter. Tried everything he could think of before towing. No go. Drove us back to our campground. Towed our truck to Toyota dealer in Elizabeth City (2 hours). Was fixed next day. Fatdaddy gave me a ride back to dealership. He drove hundreds of miles taking care of us. So if a "scary" looking dude shows up to tow you, fear not. You are in good hands. He will take care of you and do it at a reasonable price. Polite. Professional. Careful. Reasonably priced. Thanks Fatdaddy!! You da man! read more

OBX Towing - Towing Near Me

After towing my Jeep behind my motorhome for 6 hours, we found the battery dead and the key fobs not working. " Fat Daddy" came out 30 minutes later, opened up the locked Jeep, opened the hood and found the battery voltage at 5 volts. He connected a jump starter and the Jeep fired right up. After driving it for a bit, the battery voltage was back up to 14.1 volts. We appreciated his expedience and highly recommend him if you are ever in a jam! read more

Randy, you are amazing!!! Thank you so much for keeping in touch with me and Robyn during the nor'easter to make sure we made it off the island safely!!! read more

Found myself in quite a predicament while vacationing in OBX. Pulled off the road onto the shoulder/grass area while my wife (that's where my real trouble began) looked for directions to a Dollar General. My truck was too heavy and the marshy ditch sucked me in! Dropped into 4-low and made it even worse. Called OBX Towing after hours and Randy (owner) answered my call. Gave him my location and he responded very quickly. I was concerned with how my truck was situated up against the embankment that by pulling it out some damage would be done. Randy scoffed and said, "bet it doesn't get a single scratch!" He was right! Had me out in 2 minutes flat and not a single dent/scratch! Randy came prepared and clearly knows what he's doing! Hope to never meet him again (because of his line of work lol), but would call in a heartbeat if I am down here and find myself in a sticky situation. Responsive, prepared, fair price. read more

OBX Towing - Soft shoulder area Route 12 North OBX. - Towing Near Me

5 Stars Randy. You rock! My car shredded a tire just north of the pea island visitor shack. I called Audi and they said they'd dispatch a towing/wrecker service to change the tire. Sure enough Randy showed up promptly and replaced my bad tire with my spare. I guess I could have done this myself, but I was alone, Audi service is free under warranty, and Randy had a jack that lifted the car much faster than the jack they give you with the car. I was back on the road in minutes. Thank you !!! read more

We were driving on the beach and got stuck. The ranger came by and was no help other than to give the number of a towing company that really had no interest in coming and helping. We found the number of OBX Towing, called and they said could be here in twenty minutes. We were surprised to see them in under twenty minutes! They were so helpful, friendly and kind. We had a small child in the car and they were concerned about her well being before and after they got us out. I will call OBX Towing again AND recommend them to everyone! Thanks OBX Towing for all the help and hospitality! read more

OBX Towing really saved my husband and I when we broke down in Avon, NC. We were over an hour from our vacation house and over 4 hours from home. Not only did they tow our vehicle back to their shop, they diagnose the problem (fuel pump), drove an hour one way to pick up the necessary part, drove us to the next town so we could rent a car, and fix our car in 24 hours so we could return home the next day. Wonderful guys. The owner has created a culture of assisting others in need. Their price for towing and the repair work was very fair. We were thankful to find them. read more
