Request Help
A stranded driver opens ShoulderLine, drops a pickup pin, adds vehicle details, chooses a drop-off option, and sends the tow request without calling around.
Working prototype · Automotive
Towing Company app prototype, ready to try before you build.
Explore a working towing company app prototype with request help, exact pickup pin, and vehicle details. Customize it yourself or have Mistflow Studio build the approved screens, style, and flow.
This is a working mobile prototype, not a shipped app. Mistflow can turn it into a native iPhone and Android app after you confirm the screens, platform details, and integrations.

Built for towing company work
The friction this app is designed to remove.
Not a generic app template. This prototype starts with the moments that cost your team time or leave customers waiting.
- Stranded drivers cannot explain where they are, so your dispatcher wastes time asking for mile markers, nearby exits, and parking lot landmarks.
- Customers call every few minutes asking where the truck is, and your dispatcher has to interrupt the driver just to give an ETA.
- Wrong vehicle details lead to the wrong truck, the wrong equipment, or a driver arriving without knowing it is an AWD, low-clearance, or locked vehicle.
- Repeat customers still have to give the same plate number, payment card, pickup notes, and drop-off address every time they need a tow.
- Receipts, quotes, and drop-off records get buried in texts and emails, so customers call later asking for proof of service.
Inside the prototype
Specific tools for your towing company.
Keep what fits, change what does not, and add the details that make the workflow yours.
Exact pickup pin
Customers mark the shoulder, parking lot, driveway, or garage entrance on the map so your driver is sent to the right place the first time.
Vehicle details
The request can include make, model, plate, color, drivetrain notes, tire issue, key status, and whether the vehicle rolls, so dispatch can assign the right truck.
Live Tow Map
Once a truck is assigned, the customer sees the driver route, ETA, and progress to their car, so they know help is really on the way.
Saved Garage
Customers save their vehicles, plates, common drop-off spots, and payment details so a repeat tow takes under a minute.
Drop-off choices
Customers can choose a repair shop, home address, impound lot, dealership, or a saved destination before the truck is dispatched.
Tow History
After the job, customers can see the quote, receipt, pickup and drop-off record, and service date for expenses, insurance, or their own records.
Your towing brand
The app uses your towing company name, colors, logo, and service area, so customers open your app instead of searching for another provider.

Example workflows
How it could work day to day.
Use these examples to judge whether the flow matches your business before you commit to building it.
- 01Shoulder breakdown: a driver opens ShoulderLine, drops an exact pin on the highway shoulder, selects their saved SUV, chooses a trusted repair shop, and submits the tow request. Once assigned, they watch the truck ETA on the Live Tow Map.
- 02Parking lot tow: a customer with a dead battery in a mall lot marks the correct entrance, adds a note like 'near the north food court doors,' uploads vehicle details, and chooses home as the drop-off.
- 03Repeat customer: a driver who used you last month opens the Garage, taps their saved vehicle and saved mechanic, confirms the saved payment method, and requests another tow in under a minute.
- 04After-service record: when the tow is complete, the customer opens Tow History to download the receipt, confirm the drop-off address, and share the record with an insurer or employer.

Straight answers
Towing Company app pricing, explained.
Choose self-serve if you want control, or Studio if you want Mistflow to take the build from approved prototype to a native iPhone and Android app.
Agency comparison from the industry brief: A custom towing company app from an agency often runs $25,000 to $80,000 because live maps, pickup pins, driver ETA, saved vehicles, payments, and receipts all add complexity. Quotes vary by scope, platform, and integrations.

Have Mistflow build itBuying questions
Know exactly what you are starting with.
Clear answers about the prototype, the finished build, and your two paths forward.
Is this towing company app finished?
No. The screens on this page are a working prototype: you can explore the flow, but it is not a shipped customer app. The finished app is built after you approve or customize the prototype.
Can I start with this exact prototype?
Yes. Build my version carries this exact prototype into Mistflow, including its screens, style, and flow. You can change it before the finished app is built.
What can I customize for my towing company?
You can change the branding, wording, steps, and features. This prototype currently demonstrates Request Help, Exact pickup pin, and Vehicle details, and you can keep, remove, or reshape those parts around the way your business works.
Can customers send an exact pickup location?
Yes. In the finished app, is built around the pickup pin. A customer can mark the shoulder, parking lot, driveway, or shop entrance on the map so your driver is not guessing from a vague text message.
Can customers track the tow truck?
Yes. In the finished app, shoulderLine includes a Live Tow Map where the customer can see the assigned driver, route, and ETA. That cuts down on 'where is the truck' calls while someone is waiting roadside.
How much does it cost to turn this into a finished app?
For self-serve, you use a Mistflow subscription; current plan prices are listed on the pricing page. Mistflow Studio is a separate $4,900 fixed service for a 14-day native iPhone and Android app build. Scope is confirmed before work starts.
