Towing in Federal Way.
Price quoted before we hook up.
Federal Way sits on the I-5 spine where SR-18 dumps traffic straight onto the freeway, so most pickups here are shoulder jobs between the Federal Way and Star Lake exits. From Covington we come in over SR-18 rather than fighting Kent Valley traffic.

How a tow is priced here
Two numbers, and you hear both of them on the phone: what it costs to hook the vehicle up, and what each loaded mile costs after that. Anything outside those two — a winch-out, a night call, waiting time — is quoted before we roll, not added at the end.
- The price you are told on the call is the price on the invoice.
- We tell you which way the vehicle goes on the truck and why.
- If the job turns out to be something else on arrival, you get the new number before any work starts.
- Hook-up
- $95
- Per loaded mile
- $4.50
- Winch-out / recovery
- quoted on the call
- Roadside (jump · lockout · tire · fuel)
- flat rate
Example: a car picked up in Kent and dropped at a shop 12 miles away runs about $149 before tax.
Rates on this sheet are indicative for South King and Pierce County. The number you are given on the call is the one that counts.

Straight answers
How much is a tow?
Hook-up plus loaded miles — $95 and $4.50 a mile as a working figure. Winch-outs, night calls and waiting time are quoted on the phone before we roll.
My car is all-wheel drive. Can it be towed?
Yes — on the flatbed, all four wheels off the ground, nothing turning in the drivetrain.
It is in a parking garage. Does that work?
Tell us the clearance sign at the entrance. Low structures are a wheel-lift job; a bed will not fit under most of them.
How do I pay?
Ask when you call — we confirm the accepted payment method before dispatch.
Do you speak Russian or Ukrainian?
Yes. English · Русский · Українська. Call, or text a photo with your location.
