Services
The first year started slowly, with towing for the Nebraska State Patrol, Otoe County and Johnson County Sheriff's Offices, and AAA. After six months they grew enough to purchase a competing company in Nebraska City. After the first year they purchased an auto repair shop in Syracuse, Nebraska. This became their base of operations for the next few years.
Midwest Towing & Recovery has been servicing the Southeast Nebraska area for over 20 years. We pride ourselves on offering dependable, quality services at a reasonable rate. You can feel safe knowing that we require a nationwide background check for all of our employees, and are licensed and insured.

Testing is available for the Vehicle Inspection, Basic Skills, and Road Test portions of the state exam.
We have Hazwoper supervisors and State of Nebraska certified hazmat operators and technicians on call, 24 hours a day to assist with any kind of incident. From fuel tankers to oil spills and even train derailments, we can take care of your needs.

This company was super helpful the woman I talked to on the phone was great helped me get a truck to where I was when I was stuck on the interstate with a flat tire. She even talked to the driver to see if he'd take me to my hotel after we drop the car off. I was so thankful because the roadside assistance from my insurance found a tow truck, but it was going to take 2 hours for me to get out of there. Guy picked me up was super friendly I hope I don't have to use them again but I gladly would.

If I could, I would give these guys a 10 star review. Corey was the man on the scene and super professional and well versed in his business. I have dealt with other towering companies in Lincoln NE, and by far these guys are the best. Friendly staff with excellent service and knowledge about every situation regarding your tow. I appreciate good people. :)

The guys that came out to tow my car were #1 on time,
#2 very professional and polite, #3 careful with my car as to not damage it.
The air shocks were deflated and Dalton made sure that my car did not drag or scrape in the front or back when putting it on the flatbed. I will call them every time I need a tow in Lincoln.

We were in Lincoln for the weekend . Our car lost complete power and we thought needed to be towed. we called Midwest Towing . He was there in a short amount of time and helped us discover the mechanical issue with our car and he fixed it for us. There was no charge for his time or trouble. I highly recommend his service. He is proof there are kind and caring people !!!! call Midwest for your towing needs!

Had a tire changed by them and two days later it fell off🙄after that, the company initially refused taking liability for the damages that they caused to my car. After finally admitting fault, they wouldn't give me any information on my car- only told me to talk to the owner before promptly hanging up on me. Still have no idea where my car is or when it will be fixed. Worst experience ever.

About 3 weeks ago, we broke down on I 80 heading east just about 25 miles out of Lincoln, and we had to pull off to the shoulder. Pretty hairy situation with a couple of cats and a car full of our luggage (moving back east) we called Midwest towing and they told us it'd be about hour and a half. Immediately afterwards, our tow called us and she said she'd be there in 30. She got there super quick, took care of everything!! She gave my wife and I a ride to the Mitsubishi dealership back in Lincoln, and really lightened up the mood. She was professional, fun, and went completely above and

So I'm an idiot that managed to wrap my car around a fire hydrant. They were fast to the scene, super helpful and very careful to no further damage my car or the hydrant. Chris was really kind and attentive. He did an excellent job of getting my car towed.

Woke-up to find one of our rear tires was flat. We had been having issues with both of our rear tires since we drove thru the war-torn streets of South Chicago (thanks Waze! -_-) and this was not a huge surprise.

So Carissa used her USAA app to get us roadside assistance and less than 30min later Nathan showed up. He gave us a bit of air so that we could make it down to the tire shop to get a patch. He was very friendly, efficient and seemed to be good at his job. Also he had matching slime lime shirt and sneakers that were pretty cool.

Thank you, Nathan! Having to deal with a flat tire at 6:15 a.m. on a Saturday isn't fun especially when you're trying to get an early start on your road trip. I used my USAA app for roadside assistance and Midwest Towing & Recovery was our savior.

Nathan arrived super fast and with a friendly smile and attitude. We appreciate the help!

After waiting an hour for Capital Towing to show up, I gave up and called Midwest. Wish I would have called them first. ETA was 15 minutes. They were there in 15 minutes. Friendly and courteous driver. If I need another tow, I will call this one first.

Traveling from Baja Mexico to Wisconsin, my RV broke down west of Lincoln. Daniel, the tow truck driver, arrived exactly when promised and proceeded to drive my dog and me all the way to Omaha to where my insurance company had instructed him to. It was almost 7:00 p.m. by the time we arrived at the shop, which was just closing. We were informed that they did body work but not engine work. OMG! I'm a stressed out, disappointed 60-year-old woman in a strange town with a confused dog. Daniel took complete control. Not only did he find a repair shop, he suggested dog-friendly motels and then drove

My daughter's car was towed by Midwest Towing against their own company policies. Their policy states that only a property owner can authorize a tow. My daughter's car was towed on November 22, 2016 at 7:15pm. The property owner did not call or sign for this tow. According to the Lincoln police department, any tow that directly fails to meet the company policy is considered an illegal tow. This company allowed a jealous ex-boyfriend to tow a car out of revenge. When I placed a call to the company to address this issue on November 23, 2016, I spoke with an employee who verified that the

Wow! Headed to Lincoln from Fremont to collect some lovelies for my new bakery...turning INTO THE DRIVEWAY at my destination, my Suburban lost her serpentine belt, rendering my big ole' girl nearly un-steerable and ramping her temperature into the red zone. Midwest showed up, confirmed the problem and arranged for reliable repair in a matter of minutes! Almost makes me wish I lived in Lincoln! I can't thank them enough, nor can I give them enough stars. Great attitude, great service, great confidence builder (I'm a 60-something woman). Left me feeling truly blessed. Thanks
