Some tow operators in Tulsa work without a license, overcharge drivers, or pressure you into unnecessary services. At Tow Service Tulsa, we believe in transparency, safety, and doing things the right way. Here’s how to protect yourself from towing scams and make a smart, safe call.
⚠️ 1. Always Ask: Are You Licensed and Insured?
In Oklahoma, all tow companies must be licensed by the Department of Public Safety (DPS).
👉 If a driver refuses to show proof or gets defensive, that’s a red flag.
You can verify their license status directly through the DPS. Don’t be afraid to ask — it’s your right.
💵 2. Beware of “Too Good to Be True” Prices
Some shady operators bait drivers with $40-$50 quotes, then jack up the price to $200+ once your vehicle is loaded.
At Tow Service Tulsa, we start at $125 and always give you a firm, upfront quote before we hook up your car — no surprises.
📵 3. Avoid “Cash-Only” Towing Services
Reputable tow companies accept:
- Credit/debit cards
- Digital payments (CashApp, Apple Pay, etc.)
- Insurance reimbursements (in some cases)
If someone insists on cash only, especially late at night or refuses to give a receipt — walk away.
🚫 4. Don’t Let Random Tow Trucks Hook Your Vehicle
Scam trucks often cruise around looking for stalled vehicles, especially in high-traffic or dimly lit areas.
Never allow a tow truck to take your car unless you called them directly and confirmed the company name and driver ID.
🧾 5. Look Out for These Red Flags:
- No company name or logo on the truck
- Refusal to provide a receipt or invoice
- Driver can’t give a written quote
- Pushes you toward a “preferred shop” you didn’t ask for
- No Google Business page, license number, or customer reviews
