Car trouble by the Battle Green, a flat on Mass Ave, or a breakdown on the Route 128 ramps? Arlington Tow Pro is a Lexington towing company you can actually reach — day or night, holidays included. Damage-free flatbed towing, a price you hear before we hook up, and drivers who know the difference between a Tuesday on Hartwell Ave and Patriots' Day downtown.
Call Arlington Tow Pro at (781) 646-4611. We're based in neighboring Arlington and cover all of Lexington (ZIPs 02420 and 02421) — the Center, East Lexington, and the Route 2 / I-95 corridor — with flatbed and wheel-lift trucks, accident recovery, lockouts, jump-starts, and winch-outs. Local, licensed, insured, and upfront on price.
Lexington keeps us on our toes, because it's really two places.
There's the historic Center — Mass Ave through Lexington Center, the Battle Green and the Minuteman Statue, the bikeway cutting across the road, and a steady stream of visitors who've come for the history and have no idea which streets are one-way. Tight parking, pedestrians everywhere, tour buses on a spring weekend. A breakdown here is a patience game, and it helps to send someone who's worked these blocks before.
Then there's the Route 128 side — I-95 and Route 2 along the edges, the office and biotech parks off Hartwell Avenue, MIT Lincoln Laboratory out on Wood Street, commuters merging on and off the highway all day. That's fast traffic, narrow shoulders, and a different kind of urgency.
We handle both. Tell us where you are and we'll bring the right truck for that corner of town — not a one-size-fits-all guess.
Most calls fall into a handful of buckets. Here's the short version:
Sedans to sports cars to the classic that finally quit — moved on a flatbed or wheel-lift without a mark, for a breakdown, a crash, or a relocation.
After a wreck on Mass Ave or the highway, we clear the scene, take the car to the shop you pick, and deal with the insurer directly so you don't have to.
Cars don't check the clock before they quit. We don't either — nights, weekends, holidays, snow days.
Flatbed for anything luxury, electric, all-wheel-drive, low, or dead; wheel-lift when a quick, standard move makes more sense — like a tight spot near the Center.
Dead battery, flat tire, locked keys, empty tank — the stuff that doesn't need a full tow. We carry what it takes to fix most of it on the spot.
Off the shoulder on 128, nosed into a snowbank, or stuck where a plain tow won't reach — we pull it out without turning one problem into two.
Vans, pickups, box trucks, work vehicles — the corridor runs on them, and we're set up to move them.
Plenty of high-end and electric cars in these driveways; those ride flatbed only, fully off the ground, to protect the battery and drivetrain.
Across town or across state lines, quoted upfront and never changed once confirmed.
| Flatbed | Wheel-Lift | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | All four wheels up on the bed — nothing touches the road | Drive wheels lifted, the other two roll |
| Best for | Luxury, EV, AWD, low or non-running cars, recovery | Standard cars, short hops, tight spaces |
| Damage risk | As low as it gets | Very low, for the right vehicle |
| Hook-up speed | A few minutes | Quickest |
Not sure? Just describe the car when you call — we'll show up with the right one.
For a tow you call in yourself, it comes down to a few things: the service, the vehicle, how far it's going, and the time of day — usually a base hook-up fee plus mileage, with recovery jobs priced on their own. You'll get the number before we touch the car, and that's the number you pay. No padding, no snow-day surprises, no storage math that mysteriously doesn't add up.
Call for a straight quoteOne exception you don't control: if police or a property owner ordered the tow — a snow ban, a posted lot — Massachusetts sets the ceiling, not the tow company. The state DPU caps it at $132 for the tow and $35 per 24-hour period for storage. See below.
If your car vanished from a posted lot, a private property, or a snow-emergency street, that's an involuntary tow — police or the owner called it, not you. To get it back:
Call the Lexington Police non-emergency line — they track police-ordered and trespass tows.
Find out which company towed it and where the storage lot is.
$132 for the tow, $35 per 24 hours of storage, under state law. Bring ID and proof of ownership.
If the total doesn't line up with those caps, you've got grounds to question it.
The Center's one-ways and foot traffic, the corridor's ramps and office parks — we're not navigating Lexington for the first time on the way to you.
Based just over the line in Arlington, with Mass Ave running straight into the Center. Close enough to actually be useful in a hurry.
A real person, day or night — not a voicemail or a booking bot three states away.
You hear the price up front. No surprises when the truck shows up.
A real crew operating under Massachusetts rules — not a 1-800 referral line passing your call around.
(781) 646-4611 — a street, a landmark like the Green or the Depot, an exit number. Whatever you've got.
With an honest arrival window, not a vague "soon."
Your car goes where you want it — home, your shop, the dealer.
A few quick moves keep you safe while we're on the way.
We cover the whole town — ZIPs 02420 and 02421 — from Lexington Center and the Battle Green to East Lexington, out along Massachusetts Avenue, Route 2A (the Battle Road), Bedford Street, and the Route 2 and I-95 / Route 128 corridors, including the Hartwell Avenue and Wood Street employment areas. Lexington sits in Middlesex County, about 11 miles northwest of Boston between Route 2 and Route 128 — bordered by Arlington, Belmont, Waltham, Lincoln, Bedford, Burlington, Woburn, and Winchester.
We also serve nearby Winchester, plus Natick, Ashland, Wellesley, Wayland, and Weston.
There's a difference between a company that can find Lexington on a map and one that knows the Center fills with visitors every spring, that Wood Street means Lincoln Lab, and that the bikeway and Mass Ave cross where you least expect. Call us and you get the second kind — a crew based right over the Arlington line, licensed and insured, picking up 24/7. That's who Lexington drivers keep in their phones.

Yes. We know the Center's one-ways, the parking, and the bikeway crossings, and we'll bring the truck that fits the spot — usually a flatbed or wheel-lift for the tight blocks.
A base fee plus mileage for a tow you call in, quoted before we move the car. Police, snow-emergency, or private-property tows are capped separately by state law.
$132 for the tow and $35 per 24-hour period for storage, set by the state DPU. That's for police-ordered, snow-ban, and trespass tows — not for a tow you request.
Call the Lexington Police non-emergency line to find out who towed it and where, then bring ID and proof of ownership. If the bill's over the state caps, question it.
Yes — we tow the damaged car to the shop you choose and coordinate with your insurer directly.
