There’s no such thing as a good time for a breakdown—but there is a right team to call when it happens.
Whether it is a sudden roadside stall or a big rig stuck with a full load, delays like these are risky and throw off everything that follows. At Coastal Towing Service, we’ve built a system that brings calm to the chaos, serving Rocky Mount, NC, and beyond with dependable light, medium, and heavy-duty towing services.
Every minute counts, especially when you’re trying to get freight delivered, get home, or get back to work. That’s why we focus on response times, clear dispatch communication, and ensuring the right equipment arrives for the job.
We’ve seen it all—flipped trailers, drive shafts in the ditch, and vehicles stalled in the middle of traffic. No matter the scenario, our job stays the same: get things moving again with control, care, and zero guesswork.


Built on Legacy. Operated with Precision.
Coastal Towing Service has been a part of North Carolina’s towing infrastructure since 1958, and we’ve maintained that family-first energy since 1985. Under new ownership, we remain committed to the same values that made Coastal a trusted name for decades: fast service, fair rates, and a personal touch. Today, our systems are sharper, our trucks more advanced, and our focus stronger than ever.
We bring over 80 years of combined hands-on towing experience to every recovery, every haul, and every roadside call. And we don’t just put anyone behind the wheel. Every team member undergoes thorough background checks, drug testing, and driving evaluations before hitting the road.
