Heavy Duty Towing & Recovery in Buffalo, NY
Moss Heavy Duty Towing built its name on semis and commercial rigs, but everyday drivers need reliable towing too. Whether your car won’t start, you’ve been in an accident, or you’re simply stuck on the side of the road, our light duty towing service covers passenger cars, SUVs, and motorcycles across Erie County — along routes like I-90, I-190, Route 33, and throughout Buffalo and its surrounding suburbs. You get the same fast, professional response as our commercial customers, no matter what you’re driving.
What We Tow & Recover
Light duty towing is built for everyday vehicles that need safe, careful transport. We provide light duty towing for:
- Passenger cars & sedans
- SUVs & crossovers
- Motorcycles
- Small pickup trucks
- Compact & subcompact vehicles
Whether it’s a mechanical failure, a dead battery that needs more than a jump, or a vehicle that’s simply not driveable, we get you and your car where you need to go.
How Our Light Duty Towing Works
When you call, we ask a few quick questions — your location, vehicle type, and what happened — so we can send the right truck for the job. Our operators use flatbed and wheel-lift towing depending on your vehicle and situation, always aiming to move your car without adding any further damage. From the moment we arrive, our goal is to get you off the road safely and on your way to a repair shop, home, or wherever you need to be.
When You Might Need Light Duty Towing
Breakdowns happen in all kinds of situations, and we’re equipped to help with most of them:
- Engine or mechanical failure — when your car simply won’t run.
- Accidents — safe removal of your vehicle from the scene.
- Dead batteries — when a jump start alone isn’t enough.
- Flat tires without a usable spare — when the vehicle needs to be towed rather than patched roadside.
- Vehicles stuck in snow, mud, or a ditch — safe recovery without causing further damage.
Careful Handling, Every Time
Even though we’re known for heavy-duty work, our light duty towing gets the same level of care and attention. Our operators are trained to handle passenger vehicles and motorcycles properly, using the right towing method for each vehicle type so nothing gets scratched, scraped, or damaged during transport.
