What To Do If You Break Down on I-10 in Phoenix

Breakdowns inside or near the I-10 Deck Park Tunnel require extra caution due to limited shoulders and heavy traffic flow. Pull as far right as possible onto the shoulder. Turn on hazard lights.

Heat Safety Tip for I-10 Breakdowns in Phoenix (Extreme Heat Warnings)
During extreme heat warnings in Phoenix, heat stroke can happen very quickly. Heat can build quickly inside stalled vehicles near the I-10 Tunnel and Downtown freeway corridor. Keep extra water in your vehicle at all times. If you must leave the vehicle for safety, leave the keys for the tow truck driver and tell dispatch exactly where they’re left. Leave a note on the windshield with the time and date and that a tow is en route—include Freeway Towing & Storage (602) 377-0036. Unattended vehicles on the freeway can be towed or impounded after several hours (often around ~4 hours), so a visible note shows a tow is en route and helps protect your vehicle.
Quick checklist:
- Keep extra water in your vehicle year-round.
- During extreme heat, avoid prolonged sun exposure.
- If you must leave: leave keys for the driver and tell dispatch exactly where.
- Leave a windshield note with time, date, and “Tow en route – Freeway Towing (602) 377-0036.”
- Call (602) 377-0036 immediately so we can get help to you quickly.
- We’ll text a live ETA and keep you updated.
How We Find You Fast (TowBook GPS + Location Link)
Finding you quickly on I-10 in Phoenix matters.

Flatbed vs Wheel-Lift for Freeway Breakdowns
Flatbeds are recommended for AWD, many EVs, low-clearance cars, and vehicles with steering or suspension damage. If your vehicle can roll and has normal clearance, a wheel-lift may be fine. We can advise when you call based on your vehicle and situation. Our roadside assistance in Phoenix includes both flatbed and wheel-lift options for emergency towing in Phoenix on I-10 and all Phoenix freeways.

Our pricing is straightforward: $85 hook fee plus $5 per loaded mile. Same rate 24/7—no after-hours or holiday upcharges. Extra fees apply only when the job needs more time or equipment: no keys or locked steering, missing wheels, vehicle that can’t roll or go into neutral, or winch-out recovery.

Do you charge more at night or on weekends for I-10 tows in Phoenix?

How fast can you get to I-10 in Phoenix?
Many I-10 Phoenix calls are handled in about 25–45 minutes, depending on traffic and demand. We use TowBook to dispatch the closest available truck and text you a live ETA, so you’re not guessing when help will arrive. Response times vary with traffic on I-10, The Stack, and surrounding freeways.
Is it safe to wait in my car during extreme heat on I-10 in Phoenix?
During severe heat or extreme heat warnings, keep extra water in your vehicle and avoid prolonged sun exposure. If you must leave the vehicle for safety, leave the keys for the tow truck driver and tell dispatch exactly where they’re left. Leave a note on the windshield with the time and that a tow is en route. We’ll text a live ETA and keep you updated as quickly as possible.
Where should I leave my keys if I have to leave my car on the freeway?
Leave the keys where the tow truck driver can find them—e.g., under the floor mat, in a magnetic box, or with a trusted person—and tell dispatch exactly where they’re left. Leave a note on the windshield with the time and that Freeway Towing & Storage (602) 377-0036 has been called for a tow.
When should I request a flatbed tow for a freeway breakdown?
Flatbed towing is best for many AWD vehicles, EVs, low-clearance cars, and vehicles with steering or suspension damage. If your vehicle can roll and has normal ground clearance, a wheel-lift may be appropriate. If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend the safest option when you call.
What information should I have ready when I call for an I-10 tow?
Share your exact location (I-10 eastbound or westbound, nearest exit or mile marker), the vehicle year/make/model, whether you have the keys, and whether the vehicle can roll/steer and go into neutral. If you’re in a difficult spot (narrow shoulder, partially in lane), tell us so we can coordinate with highway patrol if needed.
Can you tow to a repair shop or my home?
Yes. You choose the destination—home, a repair shop, a dealership, or a secure location. If you’re unsure where to go, we can recommend towing to the nearest shop that can help to reduce mileage cost.
