Highland Park sits 5.7 miles from downtown Detroit, boxed between Hamtramck (2.6 miles) and New Center (2.7 miles) — close enough that a truck finishing either of those calls can usually reach Highland Park within minutes. Detroit Towing runs 24 hours a day, every day but Sunday, when the phone opens at 12:30 PM and closes at 5:30 PM.
That proximity is the whole story for response time here: Highland Park isn't usually served by a truck starting cold from the shop, it's served by one already working the Hamtramck or New Center side of the map. At 5.7 miles from the city center, it sits wedged between those two neighborhoods rather than out on its own.
Dispatch treats the three as a cluster — Highland Park, Hamtramck, and New Center — because the distances between them, 2.6 and 2.7 miles, are short enough that routing a truck through one on the way to another rarely adds real time to either call.
Why does being near Hamtramck and New Center matter?
It means a truck already clearing a call 2.6 miles away in Hamtramck, or 2.7 miles away in New Center, is often the one that shows up in Highland Park next — not one starting from zero. That's a routing advantage, not a guarantee; which truck is closest still depends on what's already on the board that hour.
What are the hours for a Highland Park tow?
Round the clock, six days a week. Sunday is the one exception: the window narrows to 12:30 PM through 5:30 PM, so a Saturday-night call and a Sunday-morning call get handled on two different schedules.
Where does the truck actually come from?
Dispatch runs out of 17654 Woodbine St in Detroit, but Highland Park is one stop among 20 areas the company covers, and its position between Hamtramck and New Center is what keeps it from being a long drive on either end.
Is towing available in Highland Park overnight?
Yes — trucks run 24 hours a day in Highland Park every day except Sunday, when the line is open from 12:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Reach dispatch at +1 313-631-1184.
How close is the nearest truck to Highland Park?
There's no truck permanently stationed here, but Highland Park is only 2.6 miles from Hamtramck and 2.7 miles from New Center, both regular coverage areas — so a truck finishing a nearby call is frequently the one that reaches Highland Park next.
