IC Roadside & Key — your local Ely Roadside Assistance & Emergency Towing shop
Towing Services for Ely Drivers
When your vehicle cannot be driven — whether from a breakdown, accident, or mechanical failure — IC Roadside & Key provides professional towing services across the Iowa City area and beyond. We operate both flatbed and wheel-lift tow trucks to handle everything from a Honda Civic to a full-size pickup, and we offer long-distance towing for vehicles that need to reach a specific shop or dealership outside our immediate service area.
Types of Towing We Offer
- Flatbed towing — The safest option for all-wheel drive vehicles, luxury cars, and vehicles with significant mechanical damage. Your car rides on top of the truck with all four wheels off the ground.
- Wheel-lift towing — A cost-effective option for front- or rear-wheel drive vehicles that need a shorter tow to a nearby shop.
- Motorcycle towing — We have the equipment and experience to safely transport motorcycles without risking frame or body damage.
- Long-distance towing — Need your vehicle moved to Des Moines, Cedar Falls, or the Quad Cities? We handle long-distance transport with upfront pricing based on mileage.
- Accident towing — We work with law enforcement and insurance companies regularly. If you have been in a collision on I-80, Highway 1, or anywhere in the Iowa City corridor, we can respond quickly and handle the vehicle with care.
Response Time and Process
Call us at (319) 963-2108 and we will get a truck headed your way. Within the Iowa City metro — including Coralville, North Liberty, Solon, and Tiffin — our typical response time is 30 to 45 minutes. When you call, let us know the vehicle type, location, and whether it can roll freely, so we can dispatch the right truck the first time. For accident scenes, let us know if law enforcement is on site and whether the vehicle has been cleared for removal.
Pricing
Local towing within the Iowa City area generally starts at $75 to $125, depending on the type of tow truck needed and the distance to the drop-off point. Long-distance towing is quoted by the mile after the base rate. We provide the full price over the phone before we dispatch, so there are no surprises when the truck arrives. For insurance-covered tows, we can work directly with your provider and handle the paperwork. Call (319) 963-2108 for a quote.
Where We Tow
We regularly tow vehicles to dealerships and repair shops across Johnson County and the surrounding area, including shops in Cedar Rapids, West Liberty, and Kalona. If you have a preferred mechanic, we are happy to deliver your vehicle there. If you are not sure where to take it, we can suggest reputable local shops based on your vehicle type and the issue at hand.
