When most people think of towing, the picture that they envision is not a great one. If you ask most people, they will tell you that they imagine a broken-down car and a shady tow truck clunking in with an unscrupulous character behind the wheel. But here at Northwestern Towing, we’re writing a different story. One where service exceeds expectations, our fleet is state of the art, and our technicians are highly trained professionals that take pride in the towing service that they provide. At Northwestern Towing, we are Portland Oregon's #1 Towing Company for a reason. This is where Heavy Duty horsepower meets heart and Portland grit drives every mile.


We’re not just towing, we’re recovering semis off embankments, lifting overturned shipping containers in tight downtown alleys, and showing up when others can’t. Every job we take on is about one thing: getting Portland moving again and putting our customers first. Simple as that.


Whether it’s heavy-duty recoveries, rotator work, or a late-night call for a stalled car in a grocery parking lot, we’re there 24/7. Because light-duty towing is the lifeline for Portland Oregon residents facing the unexpected. Dead battery, flat tire, locked-out, or stranded, we’ve got your back.


We’re also proud to serve as a trusted partner to law enforcement agencies across the region. From impounds and evidence preservation to accident scene management and vehicle removals, our team responds quickly, professionally, and with total respect for the process. When the call comes in from dispatch or the officer on scene, we’re ready to support public safety with precision and care.


Our dispatch team is the real unsung hero behind the scenes, answering calls around the clock with calm, care, and urgency. They’re the lifeline between chaos and resolution, coordinating operators, deploying the right trucks, and staying connected until the job is done. Whether it’s 3 a.m. on a holiday or rush hour on Burnside, we don’t miss a call. We don’t take a day off. We’re 24/7/365. At Northwestern Towing, we take pride in serving the people of Portland: not just companies and fleets, but our neighbors, friends, and everyday drivers. From Beaverton to Gresham, downtown to the suburbs, we’re proud to be a trusted part of this city’s infrastructure support system. As proud advocates for Oregon’s Move Over Law, we remind drivers that every flashing light on the roadside is a life in the balance. Slow down. Move over. Let’s keep everyone safe, including the ones pulling you out of the ditch.


At the end of the day, we’re here for the single mom stuck on the shoulder alone, the big rig haulers, the small business fleets, the high schooler with a dead battery, and everyone in between. We’re Northwestern Towing. We do this work because it matters.


Need a tow? Need a recovery? Need a team that cares? We’re here. 24/7. Rain or shine. Portland strong.

What our customers have to say:




Not only did Izzaya show up much faster than estimated, he was a super nice guy and worked very carefully. First, anyone who needs a tow is likely having a bad day, so I can't overestimate how nice it was for Izzaya to thoroughly examine the situation and then explain the process and possible risks to me. Next, it's pretty easy for a tow to just hook up a car and pull, without regarding to potential damage to the car. Now I don't drive a fancy or expensive car, but Izzaya took great care to make sure that there was as little damage as possible. (In fact, the tow caused no damage--the small amount of existing damage was due to the car going over the curb, not coming back out.) Izzaya used a jack and wood blocks to ensure that the bottom of the car didn't drag on the cement, the hub cabs didn't scrape the cement, and the tires were not damaged. A true professional.
