Darrah's Towing & Recovery
Darrah's Towing began in 1981. Fred Darrah was frustrated when the vehicle he was driving broke down and he couldn't get a tow truck on a Sunday to tow his vehicle home. Fred started Darrah's with the determination that the Cedar Rapids metropolitan area desperately needed a true 24 hour towing service - with SERVICE being the key.

While Darrah's specialized in 24 Hour towing, we realize you're busy and may not be able to get your car during traditional 9-5 business hours. That's why we offer 24 hour recovery, tire changes, jump starts, and look outs. You name it, we're probably pretty good at it!

the people who work here are VERY rude and do not help you what so ever. I do NOT recommend this place at all. I would give this place a 0 if I could. They aren’t even worth 1 star.
Services: Car towing, Long distance haulage

They were VERY polite and professional. When I called the lady covered all the bases and couldn't have been more helpful. Hope we never need another tow company, but if one IS needed, Darrah's will be called. Thank you!

There are a couple things I would like to clear up 1st of all when a car here gets impounded it doesn't immediately go and get sold at auction they don't do auctions the cars will eventually get crushed after all the paperwork is filled because the sstate requires itmust do it they will not allow it to be sold 2nd of all if a vehicle is not in your name it is state law that you cannot get it even if the person is in the hospital this this is a great company to work for and a great company a great company to get told by I used to work there and they are some of the best people you could have tow

Darrah's was so kind and helpful in removing four abandoned cars from my property. I wish I had called them sooner! All the guys that came out were very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend them.

Did great by me. Got to me quickly and got my truck off the road. Competitively priced with other businesses.

Called six other tow companies before calling Farrahs only because they were in Hiawatha and I was bear the airport. All others either refused business or just hung up the phone. Darrahs was there shortly after I called and dropped off my vehicle at a repair shop and the entire process took less than an hour. The driver was courteous and respectful as well. Will use again regardless of location.

My friend got in a bad situation and got her car stuck up on a curb and stuck on a giant rock. We called this company and we are so glad we did. Scott came out and was super professional and got us out as fast as he could. He was super nice and understanding of the fact we were two teenage girls and had no idea what to do. He even was able to pop her bumper back into place temporarily so she could drive home. If I ever need a tow company again I would definitely call this one and ask for Scott. Scott definitely made our night a whole lot better!!
