Broken downin Bangalore?

Yes. Ganesh Towing Service operates 24 hours a day, all seven days, including Sundays and public holidays. Our base is at 4th B Cross Road, Tunganagara, Bengaluru 560091, off Magadi Main Road. Call or WhatsApp 9606062104 at any hour and a person will answer.

For locations near Tunganagara, Herohalli, Sunkadakatte, Byadarahalli and the Magadi Road corridor, we usually reach you in about 20 to 45 minutes. Farther parts of the city take longer, and Bengaluru traffic between 8am and 11am or 5pm and 9pm can stretch that. We will give you a realistic estimate on the call rather than a marketing number.

Private towing is priced per job, not per city. The cost depends on the distance between pickup and drop, the size of your vehicle, its condition, and whether it is a late night call. A short local tow of a hatchback is the cheapest case; a long distance SUV recovery at 2am is the most expensive. Call 9606062104 with your vehicle, problem and location, and you will get a firm price before we dispatch.

Note that this is different from the towing fine charged when the traffic police remove a wrongly parked vehicle. That amount is set by the civic authority, not by private operators.

No, and no private towing company can. If your vehicle was removed for a parking violation it has gone to a police or corporation towing yard, not to a private operator. You need to find which jurisdiction towed it, carry your driving licence and the vehicle registration certificate to that yard or traffic station, and pay the parking fine plus the notified towing charge to release it. Recently notified civic rates in Bengaluru have been in the region of Rs 650 for two wheelers and Rs 1,000 for cars, though these are revised from time to time, so confirm the current amount at the yard.

We are a private towing service. We come when your vehicle has broken down, been in an accident, or cannot be driven.

Wheel lift towing raises one axle off the ground and the other two wheels roll along the road. It is faster and cheaper, and it is fine for most manual front wheel drive cars over short city distances.

Flatbed towing puts the entire vehicle on a platform so no wheel touches the road. Choose flatbed for automatic transmission cars, all wheel drive vehicles, electric vehicles, low ground clearance or modified cars, accident damaged vehicles, and long distance moves. It costs more but it eliminates the risk of drivetrain damage. If you are unsure, tell us the make, model and transmission and we will pick the right method.

Yes, by keeping the driven wheels off the road. Towing an automatic with its driven wheels rolling can starve the transmission of lubrication, which is why we use a full lift or flatbed for these cars. Always tell us if your car is an automatic, a CVT, AMT, DCT or all wheel drive, and we will send the right equipment the first time.

Yes. We handle two wheeler towing for all models including Activa, Jupiter, Splendor, Pulsar, Royal Enfield, KTM and larger touring bikes. The bike is loaded and strapped so the fairing, tank and alloys are protected. Two wheeler towing costs less than car towing over the same distance.

Often not. A very large share of no start calls are a flat battery, and a jump start on the spot solves it for a fraction of a towing charge. If the engine cranks but does not fire, it may be fuel or a sensor and a mechanic visit may be enough. Describe the symptom when you call. If a jump start or a small on site fix will do, we will tell you, because sending a truck you do not need helps nobody.

Yes to all three. A flat tyre can be changed on site if you carry a spare, or the car can be lifted so the flat does not touch the road. A dead battery only affects starting, not towing. A seized engine or locked wheels needs a full lift or flatbed, so mention it on the call so the right truck is sent.

In many cases yes, though basements with low headroom and tight ramps need a smaller rig or a winch out to street level first. Tell us the building, the basement level and roughly how much headroom there is when you call, and we will confirm what is possible before charging you anything.

Yes. We clear accident damaged cars and bikes off the road and move them to the workshop, service centre or yard you or your insurer specify. Photograph the scene and the damage before the vehicle is moved, and inform your insurer, because most policies expect the vehicle to be inspected before repair begins.

Many comprehensive motor policies and manufacturer roadside assistance packages include towing up to a fixed limit or a fixed distance. Whether yours does depends on your policy and add ons, so check with your insurer. Keep the receipt we give you, since reimbursement claims almost always need it. We drop your vehicle at any garage or authorised service centre you name.

It is best if you or someone you trust is present at pickup to hand over the keys and confirm the drop location. If you genuinely cannot stay, we can arrange the handover with the garage directly, but it must be agreed on the call and the garage must be expecting the vehicle.

Yes. We take vehicles from Bengaluru to Mysuru, Tumakuru, Hosur, Hassan, Mangaluru and other destinations, and we also recover vehicles stranded on NH 48, NH 44, the NICE Road and the Bengaluru Mysuru Expressway. Long distance jobs are quoted as a fixed figure on the phone before we start.

Yes, and EVs should be moved on a flatbed with all wheels off the ground. Rolling the driven wheels of an electric car can feed current back through the motor, which is why most manufacturers specifically prohibit conventional towing. Tell us the model when you call so the correct truck is sent.

Move the vehicle off the carriageway if it still rolls and it is safe to do so. Switch on the hazard lights. If you have a warning triangle, place it well behind the vehicle so approaching traffic sees it in time. Get yourself and your passengers out on the side away from traffic, and wait behind a barrier rather than inside the car if you are on a fast road. Keep your phone reachable so the driver can call when he is near.

Payment is on delivery by UPI or cash. Ask for a receipt at handover, especially if you intend to claim the amount from your insurer or your employer.

Herohalli, Bedarahalli, Byadarahalli, Sunkadakatte, Bharat Nagar, Gollarapalya Hosahalli, Magadi Main Road, Nagarbhavi, Jnanabharathi, Vijayanagar, Rajajinagar, Peenya, Nandini Layout, Yeshwanthpur, Kengeri and Rajarajeshwari Nagar are all short runs for us.
