The 5 Best Towing Companies Around Summit County

A disabled vehicle is inconvenient anywhere, but in Colorado’s mountains it can quickly become a more complicated problem. Steep grades, winter storms, narrow shoulders and heavy traffic along Interstate 70 can affect everything from a routine roadside call to the recovery of a commercial truck. Tow operators in Summit County respond with equipment ranging from flatbeds and wheel-lifts to heavy wreckers and specialized recovery vehicles. The Best of Summit recognizes the local companies that help motorists and commercial drivers when breakdowns, crashes and other roadside problems interrupt the journey.

Mountain Recovery

Mountain Recovery operates around the clock from its Silverthorne base, covering Summit County and major mountain routes including I-70, Loveland Pass, Vail Pass and approaches to the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel. Its fleet handles light-, medium- and heavy-duty work, ranging from passenger cars and SUVs to semis, buses, RVs, trailers and commercial equipment. Flatbeds accommodate all-wheel-drive, four-wheel-drive, motorcycle and specialty-vehicle transport, while heavier wreckers and recovery equipment tackle more complex incidents. Mountain Recovery also performs winch-outs, snow and ditch recoveries, rollover recovery and vehicle transportation. Roadside assistance covers jump starts, lockouts, tire problems, fuel delivery and tire-chain assistance. For commercial incidents, the company extends into cargo handling, load-shift support, spill response and environmental cleanup, giving its crews the ability to manage more than the vehicle itself when a complicated highway incident occurs.

Ryan's Recovery

Ryan’s Recovery has operated from Breckenridge since 2001, providing 24-hour service throughout Summit County and along the I-70 corridor from Georgetown to Vail. Its work ranges from local and long-distance towing to jump starts, lockouts, roadside flat-tire assistance, accident recovery, winching and off-road recovery. Different vehicles in the fleet address different jobs. Rollback trucks carry passenger vehicles with all four wheels off the pavement, an important consideration for many all-wheel-drive vehicles, while four-wheel-drive wreckers can reach snowbound and off-road locations. Medium- and heavy-duty equipment expands that capability to motorhomes, box trucks, buses, semis and other large vehicles. Ryan’s also uses specialized equipment for private-property removals and low-clearance parking structures. The company serves routes including Highway 9, U.S. 6 over Loveland Pass and Hoosier Pass as well as Breckenridge, Dillon, Frisco, Silverthorne, Keystone and Copper Mountain.

Ski Country Auto Repair & Towing

Ski Country Auto Repair & Towing pairs 24-hour emergency towing with a full-service automotive repair operation in Frisco. Its towing team holds WreckMaster certification and works with vehicles ranging from motorcycles and passenger cars to trucks, vans, trailers, semis and RVs. That breadth comes into play around Summit County’s ski areas and mountain highways, where winter conditions and steep terrain can complicate an otherwise ordinary breakdown. High Country roadside assistance gives stranded drivers another option when the situation does not necessarily require a conventional tow. Once a vehicle reaches the shop, ASE-certified technicians can move into diagnostics, factory-scheduled maintenance, brakes, diesel service and other mechanical repairs. Ski Country also services commercial fleets, connecting emergency roadside response with ongoing vehicle maintenance. The family-owned operation traces its local automotive roots to 1971.

Dillon Towing & Recovery

Dillon Towing & Recovery began in 1972 with a single truck and has grown into an operation equipped for jobs ranging from passenger-vehicle breakdowns to complex heavy recoveries. Its fleet includes heavy-duty wreckers, medium- and light-duty trucks and mobile service units. Specialized capabilities include off-road and air-cushion recovery, while a 75-ton rotator gives crews another tool for difficult heavy-vehicle recoveries and oversized loads. Roadside assistance covers common problems such as jump starts, lockouts, tire changes, fuel delivery, mobile battery service and tire-chain installation. Dillon Towing also operates a full-service repair center with diagnostic equipment and ASE-certified mechanics. Mobile repair extends that mechanical support to heavy-duty vehicles at the breakdown site when circumstances allow a repair without first transporting the vehicle. Emergency towing, roadside assistance and recovery remain available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Ivan's Towing

Ivan’s Towing is a Dillon-based towing and roadside-assistance business serving motorists in Summit County. Its work includes vehicle towing and recovery along with services for common roadside problems such as lockouts, flat tires and jump starts. The company also handles motorcycle towing and truck recovery, giving drivers options when the disabled vehicle falls outside a typical passenger-car tow. Operating in the central mountains means responding to vehicles on local roads as well as the I-70 corridor, where snow, ice, elevation and highway traffic can add complications to a breakdown or recovery. Ivan’s Towing also performs automotive repair work, allowing the business to address mechanical needs in addition to vehicle transportation.
