Established Towing Company with Strong Client Base – Growth Potential!
Business Description
Established over 50 years ago, this respected towing and recovery company has become a cornerstone of Oakland County’s roadside and emergency support landscape. With consistent annual revenue exceeding $1.5M and a 7,000+ annual call volume, the company offers both stability and scalability.
The business includes a 17-unit fleet (flatbeds, wreckers, medium and heavy-duty) and all related equipment, allowing for immediate operational continuity. The company operates from a secured, high-visibility storage yard with room for both indoor and outdoor vehicle storage. A negotiable lease for the lot is available, providing flexible transition options for the buyer.
The ownership structure has been intentionally designed to run independently, with redundant staffing to preserve service quality and allow the owner to exit hands-off. A strategic acquirer with in-house dispatch or maintenance capabilities could eliminate overlapping roles and instantly increase net income by $300K+ annually.
This is an ideal acquisition for:
An existing towing operator looking to expand market share
A fleet-based service business seeking a new revenue channel
A hands-on owner-operator ready to take the wheel and drive growth from day one
The seller is retiring but willing to assist during the transition.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- The business serves Oakland County and surrounding areas, which continue to experience consistent demand for towing, recovery, and roadside services. The market includes a mix of public-sector and commercial calls, with steady year-over-year volume. While there are other towing operators in the area, this business has maintained a strong reputation and a high call volume due to its longevity, equipment capacity, and reliable 24/7 service. With 50+ years of brand equity, a 17-truck fleet, and dedicated coverage, the company is well positioned.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Pros:
Significant opportunity to improve profitability through workforce consolidation (dispatch, admin, and mechanic roles).
Strong local reputation and call volume provide a foundation for geographic or service line expansion.
Minimal owner involvement creates potential for hands-on buyers to reduce costs and improve margins immediately.
High-visibility location with lease flexibility supports future growth without real estate purchase.
Cons:
Current labor structure is designed for redundancy and owner absence, not lean operations.
