Jason Arndt’s licensed, DOT-compliant towing team. Flatbed, heavy-duty, accident recovery, long-distance — every vehicle type, every situation, available 24/7 across Kalamazoo County.
Since Jason Arndt bought his first tow truck in 1999, Kalamazoo Towing and Recovery has built its reputation on three things: showing up fast, doing the job correctly, and telling you the price before touching your vehicle. Over 25 years of responding to calls on I-94, US-131, Gull Road, Stadium Drive, and every Kalamazoo neighborhood have made our operators the most experienced towing crew in the county.
We don’t operate a repair shop. Towing and roadside assistance is our entire business — which means our trucks are always available, our dispatchers are always focused on dispatch, and our operators are trained exclusively in towing and recovery. When you call (269) 548-4665, you get that focus on the first ring.
Flatbed, heavy-duty, and standard towing. AWD vehicles always get a flatbed.
Professional tools, no damage. All makes and models.
Dead battery? Professional equipment, correct procedure, all vehicles.
Highway safety setup first, then tire change. All vehicles.
Stuck in a ditch, soft shoulder, or snowbank? We assess and pull safely.
Works with MSP and insurance carriers. Documented removal, 24/7.
Twenty-five years of Kalamazoo towing calls have taught us exactly where drivers get stranded most often. When you tell us your location, we already know the access points, shoulder conditions, and fastest routing.
I-94 Exits 72–85: Our highest-volume highway corridor. Michigan winter cold-soak kills batteries overnight — we respond to multiple calls along this stretch every winter morning.
US-131 Business Loop: Commercial vehicle breakdowns are common near the industrial corridor. We carry heavy-recovery equipment positioned for rapid response here.
Stadium Drive / M-43 (WMU corridor): Thursday–Saturday night lockout and dead battery spike. Our operators know every access point along this stretch.
Westnedge Ave (Kalamazoo to Portage): High commuter volume. Stalls in turn lanes grow traffic backups fast. We prioritize quick response here.
Gull Road (Kalamazoo to Richland): Long gaps between services. A breakdown here means a long wait from the wrong company — not from us.
Bronson & Borgess Hospital corridors: Overnight shift workers with dead batteries at 3am. We know the parking structure layouts at both facilities.
Drake Road / I-94 (Oshtemo Township): Growing commercial district. Increasing breakdown volume on the ramp system as development continues.
Michigan towing rates average $85–$135 base plus $3.50–$6.50 per mile for standard vehicles. Local tows within Kalamazoo typically run $75–$150 all-in. We quote your exact price before we hook up. Call (269) 548-4665.
Flatbed loads all four wheels onto a platform — required for AWD and 4WD vehicles. Wheel-lift raises two wheels. Using wheel-lift on an AWD vehicle causes drivetrain damage. Our dispatchers ask your vehicle type to send the correct truck every time.
Yes. Using flatbed or wheel-lift, we can transport your vehicle without keys. We document condition before loading for your protection.
Yes. We work with most major carriers. Calling us directly is faster — we answer immediately and dispatch without waiting for insurance authorization. We can bill your insurer directly for covered tows.
Our primary service area is Kalamazoo County including Kalamazoo, Portage, Oshtemo Township, Comstock, Parchment, and Galesburg. We also serve the I-94 corridor toward Battle Creek (26–30 min), Mattawan (18–22 min), and Vicksburg (20–25 min).
Not when done correctly. We photograph your vehicle before loading and carry on-hook insurance. The main towing damage risk is wheel-lifting an AWD vehicle — our operators never do this.
Average under 30 minutes within the Kalamazoo metro. I-94 and US-131 positions are typically 18–25 minutes. Outlying areas 25–40 minutes. We give you the real ETA, not an estimate.
Real person answers 24/7. Average response under 30 min across Kalamazoo County.
From Portage to Parchment, Oshtemo to Vicksburg, Mattawan to Battle Creek — if you’re within Kalamazoo County or along I-94, we’re your towing company.

They came really quickly and didn't overcharge.Posted on Google Terri SlocumTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I woke up to a flat tire on my car on Saturday morning. I called Kalamazoo Towing & Recovery where the young lady was very helpful. She said she would dispatch someone to my location. Within 10 minutes I received a call from Earreon, the driver, who said his ETA was about 20 minutes out. He arrived on time, was very professional, explained the process & the cost to me. I agreed & in less than 15 minutes, Earreon had the donut on my car, we wrapped up the paperwork & he was on his way. I've never been thru this type of thing before so thank you Earreon! Highly recommended!!Posted on Google Erin CaswellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Earreon was great and professional. The service was as expected and I would use this towing service in the future.Posted on Google Liz SweetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend! Earreon was at my car within 40 minutes of me requesting a tow, very kind and knowledgeable, made a rough day a lot easier. Had it towed 20 miles at an incredibly reasonable cost, far less than I was expecting to payPosted on Google Andrew FigelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first time using Kalamazoo towing and they won me over. Very kind on the phone. The driver Earreon called when he was en route and arrived in a timely manner.
