REPORT: THE STATE OF TOWING AND RECOVERY IN 2026–2027

SEE HOW YOUR SHOP COMPARES

100+ tow and recovery owners told us what's driving their costs and what they're doing about it.

Running a tow business costs more than it did a year ago. Insurance premiums jumped 20 percent or more for almost half the owners we surveyed, and fuel and driver pay keep climbing.

The shops in this report are not pulling back. Most named growing revenue as their top goal for the year, and they plan to raise rates rather than accept thinner margins.

Inside you will find what 100+ owners said about pricing, insurance, technology, and AI, plus how your shop lines up against them.
