Car broken down? Don't wait in the heat. Find the nearest verified tow truck on FixyDo. We connect you with local, licensed towing companies for flatbeds, desert recovery, and basement pull-outs across the UAE.
Not every tow truck can handle every situation. In the UAE, using the wrong recovery vehicle can damage your car or cause delays. Here is how our listed companies can help you based on your exact situation:
1. Stuck in a Mall Basement Parking? A normal flatbed truck cannot enter a mall basement. The ceiling is too low. Our partners use special "Low-Profile" trucks and wheel-lifts to safely pull your car out of tight spaces in Dubai Mall, MoE, or residential buildings.
2. Car Broke Down on the Highway (E11, E311)? Safety comes first. If your car dies on Sheikh Zayed Road or Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, you need fast action. Our network dispatches flatbed trucks quickly to get you off the high-speed roads.
3. Stuck in the Desert Sand? Standard tow trucks will get stuck in the sand. If you are off-roading in Al Qudra or Sharjah desert, you need a heavy-duty 4x4 Desert Recovery Vehicle with a winch to pull you out safely.
4. Low-Clearance Sports Car? If you drive a Porsche, Ferrari, or any lowered car, a normal ramp will scratch your bumper. You must ask for a Zero-Angle Flatbed or Hydraulic tow truck.

* If the tow truck crosses a Salik gate with your car, they will add AED 4 to your bill. Calling a truck at 3:00 AM usually costs AED 50 to AED 100 extra.
Got into an accident? Get a Police Report First: In the UAE, no legal towing company will move a crashed car without a police report (Saeed in Abu Dhabi, Dubai Police App in Dubai). Get the report first, then call the tow truck.
Put the Car in Neutral: If your battery is completely dead, the gear might lock in "Park." Tell the towing company on the phone so they bring a special tool (skates) to move your car without ruining the gearbox.
Pin Your Exact Location: Highways look the same everywhere. Send your live WhatsApp location to the driver so they don't drive past you and have to take a 15-kilometer U-turn.

Yes, most flatbed tow trucks have space for 1 or 2 passengers in the front cabin. You can ride with them to the garage. However, if you have your family with you, you will need to book a taxi.
Yes, but you must tell the towing company this exactly. They will need to bring a crane (boom truck) to lift your car from all four wheels, or use dollies. A normal flatbed cannot pull a car with locked front wheels.
Yes, cross-emirate towing is very common. Just make sure you have your Emirates ID and vehicle registration (Mulkiya) with you, as police checkpoints sometimes ask for proof of ownership when a car is being towed between cities.
