About Us

Built on Akron Asphalt and a Promise to Never Leave You Stranded

Summit Towing Co. started with a single truck, a deep knowledge of Summit County’s winding roads, and a simple mission: to provide honest, dependable towing services to our neighbors in Akron. We grew up watching this city reinvent itself, and we built our business on the same blue-collar work ethic that defines the Rubber City. From the tight turns of the Cuyahoga Valley to the busy lanes of I-77, we know these streets like the back of our hands, and we treat every call as an opportunity to help a neighbor in need.

We understand that nobody calls a tow truck on a good day. Whether you are dealing with a flat tire in a grocery store parking lot or a major breakdown during a winter storm, we meet you with empathy, clear communication, and prompt service. We don’t believe in surprise fees or long, unexplained wait times. Instead, we focus on transparent pricing and treating your vehicle with the exact same care we would show our own.

Today, our fleet has grown, but our core values remain unchanged. We are still a locally owned and operated team committed to keeping Akron moving safely. When you choose Summit Towing Co., you are not just getting a tow; you are getting a dedicated team of professionals who respect your time, your safety, and your hard-earned dollar.

Our Mission

Summit Towing Co. was founded to deliver dependable, stress-free roadside assistance when our neighbors need it most. Whether a homeowner faces a flat tire on their morning commute or a local business requires urgent fleet transport, we provide prompt, professional towing solutions tailored to resolve any roadside challenge quickly and securely.

As a locally owned and operated business, we are deeply committed to the strength and well-being of the Akron area. We treat every service call as an opportunity to support our fellow residents, ensuring that reliable help is always just a quick phone call away, twenty-four hours a day.

Rooted in Akron: Our Commitment to the Community

For years, Summit Towing Co. has been more than just a service provider; we are your neighbors. From the historic streets of West Akron and the bustling avenues of downtown to the quiet residential blocks of Ellet, Firestone Park, and Kenmore, our trucks are a familiar sight. We do not just work in Akron—we live here, raise our families here, and share in the pride of our city’s rich history and resilient spirit.

We believe that a strong business is built on a foundation of mutual support. That is why we treat every roadside assist, lockout, and recovery service as an opportunity to help a neighbor in need. Whether we are volunteering at local charity drives, supporting youth sports teams, or simply lending a hand to a driver stranded in the winter snow, our goal is to make Akron a safer, more connected place for everyone.

When you call us, you are not reaching a distant call center; you are speaking with local professionals who know these roads inside and out. We are proud to keep Akron moving forward, one safe tow at a time, and we remain deeply grateful for the trust our community places in us every single day.

What They Say About Us:

The RV broke down on a family road trip, but these guys were able to have a heavy-duty tow ready in less than an hour. The driver knew a lot about big rigs, which made things a lot easier for us.

Thelma Jackson

Towing was a great experience. They took great care of my car and kept me up to date the whole time, from when they picked it up to when they left it off.

Elaine Moody

I had no clue what to do when my car battery died suddenly in the parking lot of a grocery store. I contacted for a battery servicing and the response was prompt and reassuring. The expert arrived with everything we needed and went right to work. He examined the battery, described the problem in layman's words and helped me get my car started again. I’m not going to say I felt like I was being taken advantage of, which is something I constantly worry about in these situations. He also advised me how to avoid the similar problem in future. The entire exchange seemed genuine and direct. I liked that he stayed a few more minutes to make sure everything was okay before he left. It made a tense situation feel doable. It is good to know that they also provide auto towing and roadside assistance and I know I can rely on them if something else happens.

Katherine Phillips

The tow truck driver was friendly, took care of my car, and told me what would happen before loading it.

Dina McKeen

From the first phone call to the safe delivery, having my car towed was a great experience.

Sabrina Eller

I had to have my historic car towed to a shop to be fixed. I was worried, but the crew took care of it. They did as I asked and employed flatbed towing. They also took care of my car.
