Emergencies don’t keep business hours. A crash on I-405, a breakdown on I-90 near Mercer Island, or a car that won’t start in a dark parking lot at 2 AM all call for the same thing: a calm plan and a tow truck you can count on. Here’s what to do, from ADMO Towing, a family-owned tow company based in Bellevue.
Right after a crash
- Check for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call 911 first.
- If the car can move and it’s safe, get it out of the travel lanes and turn on your hazard lights.
- Stay away from traffic. On a highway, it’s often safest to stay buckled in your car.
- Take photos of the cars, the damage and the scene, and swap insurance information with the other driver.
- Call us. We clear your car from the scene and take it to your body shop, your mechanic or your home.
Breaking down on I-405, I-90 or SR-520
Highway breakdowns are the most dangerous kind. Pull as far onto the shoulder as you can, turn on your hazard lights, and stay in the car with your seat belt on unless it’s unsafe. When you call, tell the dispatcher which highway you’re on, which direction you’re heading, and the nearest exit or mile marker. That helps the driver find you fast.
Late-night and weekend calls
A live dispatcher answers every call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Day or night, we usually reach you in 45 minutes or less.
Cars we tow in an emergency
We send a professional with the right equipment for your vehicle. We tow cars, SUVs, pickups, motorcycles, and luxury and lowered cars. We’re Tesla certified for electric vehicles, and our low-clearance truck can get cars out of parking garages.
When you might not need a tow
A dead battery, keys locked inside, a flat tire with a good spare, or a car stuck in a ditch can often be fixed on the spot. See our guide to roadside assistance in Bellevue. If you’re not sure, call us and describe what happened. For what to expect from a regular tow, read Need a Tow in Bellevue? What to Do and What to Expect.

We take credit and debit cards, cash, Zelle and Venmo.
