Why a specialized local towing & tire business matters
In emergencies, local knowledge and specialization save time and protect assets. LeMaire's specializes in both light-duty towing and services for agricultural equipment, along with mobile tire services and salvage parts sourcing. Our ability to provide tailored solutions for passenger vehicles, light trucks, and farm equipment means you receive practical, cost-effective support designed for the local environment. Whether it’s a harried commuter needing an emergency tow, a farmer requiring a tractor tire replacement in the field, or a vehicle owner searching for an affordable used part, our team provides informed recommendations and skilled service.
Our staff combines decades of on-the-road towing and mechanical experience. Technicians are trained in safe vehicle lifting and rigging, winch out and recovery techniques, flat tire repair and new tire installation, wheel alignment, brake service, and oil change procedures. Our tow truck operators follow strict protocols for vehicle stabilization and transport to prevent additional damage during recovery. We invest in continued training and equipment maintenance to stay current with evolving vehicles, tires, and towing technology.
