It was 11 at night in February, −8°F, and a family had slid off Bob Barton Highway on glare ice. They called from inside the truck — heater still running, no injuries, just stuck in a ditch with nothing showing on the GPS but “rural Idaho.” We located them, recovered the truck, checked underneath for damage, and pointed them home. That kind of call is the reason towing Jerome Idaho service has to be reliable — when something goes wrong out here, the closest town might be twenty minutes away.
Roadside assistance is part of how we serve the area. Whether it’s a no-start in a parking lot, a flat on the freeway, or a heavy-duty recovery off a rural road, we treat the call the same way: get there fast, fix what we can on-site, and tow when towing is the right answer.
What we cover
- Local and long-distance towing for cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs.
- Heavy-duty towing for diesel trucks, semis, RVs, and trailers.
- Jump starts and on-site battery checks.
- Lockouts — keys locked in the vehicle.
- Fuel delivery when you run dry on the road.
- Flat tire change-outs and spare installs.
- Winter slide-off recovery on rural roads and freeway shoulders.
- Accident recovery and secondary tow to the body shop of your choice.
Where we run
Our home base is Jerome, and the service area runs across the Magic Valley and the freight corridor. Common stops include I-84 exits 168 and 173, the US-93 corridor between Jerome and Twin Falls, the Perrine Bridge area near Twin Falls, and rural routes through Wendell, Gooding, Buhl, Filer, Kimberly, Hagerman, Hansen, Eden, and Shoshone. For larger recoveries we run as far as Boise to the west and Pocatello to the east.
Semi breakdowns and trailer issues along the I-84 freight corridor are a regular call. Drivers running between Boise and Pocatello often catch problems exactly where the corridor passes through Jerome — and we’re a few minutes off the exit.
What to do when you call
First, get to a safe spot — well off the lane of travel, hazards on, and stay in the vehicle if traffic is heavy. When you call, tell dispatch:
- Your exact location — mile marker, exit number, or street.
- Year, make, and model, plus rough size (car, half-ton, one-ton, semi).
- What happened — won’t start, flat tire, off the road, etc.
- Whether the vehicle is loaded, hooked to a trailer, or pulling a fifth wheel.
- The phone number you’re calling from in case the call drops.
We’ll give you an honest response-time estimate when you call. If something faster is the right move — like calling 911 for an injury or 911 first for a major accident — we’ll tell you.
How towing connects with our repair shop
Most of the trucks we tow end up in our own bays for diagnosis and repair, which means we can pick up the job the moment the truck arrives instead of handing it off to a third party. Mobile-fixable calls go to our mobile mechanic team. Heavy-duty and semi recoveries hand off into our semi truck repair bay. The full menu of services is on the services page.
Honest estimates on tows, too
Tow rates depend on distance, vehicle size, and whether it’s a standard hookup or a recovery. We’ll give you an estimate before we hook up, and we don’t pad the bill for waiting time or “mileage from base” the way some operators do. Save our number — (208) 696-9888 — and call when you need us.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to me?
Response time depends on where you are and what we have on the road. Local Jerome calls are usually under an hour. I-84 and US-93 stretches farther out depend on traffic and current load. We give you a real estimate when you call.
Do you tow heavy-duty trucks, semis, and trailers?
Yes. Light, medium, and heavy-duty recovery. We can move semi tractors, loaded trailers, RVs, and farm equipment within the service area. If a job is beyond our equipment, we’ll dispatch the right partner and stay involved until you’re moving.
What roadside services do you offer besides towing?
Jump starts, lockouts, fuel delivery, flat-tire change-outs, and limited on-site mechanical help. If a small fix gets you home, we’ll try that before towing.
Do you do winter slide-off recoveries?
Yes. We pull plenty of vehicles out of ditches and snow banks on rural roads every winter. Stay in the cab, stay warm, and tell us your exact location when you call.
What if I’m broken down on I-84 or US-93?
Tell dispatch the nearest mile marker and exit. Common stops we cover include I-84 exits 168 and 173, the US-93 corridor through Jerome, and the Perrine Bridge area near Twin Falls.
