AAA Tow

Yes. Motorcycle towing requires soft straps and padding specifically designed to protect paint, frame, and exhaust components — standard tow straps can cause damage. Our operators are experienced with motorcycle loading and carry the right equipment for bikes. Highway 287 and Fremont County’s scenic routes attract riders from across Wyoming and beyond, and we respond to motorcycle tow calls throughout the season. See our motorcycle towing page for details.

WreckMaster is the towing industry’s most recognized professional training and certification program. WreckMaster certified operators are trained in proper vehicle rigging and load securement, accident scene safety and management, damage-free recovery techniques for vehicles in difficult positions, AWD and 4WD handling protocols, and operation in adverse weather conditions including ice, snow, and mud. The certification matters because the towing industry has no mandatory licensing requirement in Wyoming — which means the gap between certified and uncertified operators can be significant. Every operator at Great Divide Towing is WreckMaster certified, not just the company as a whole.

Yes — and getting this right matters more than most people realize. All-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles must be transported on a flatbed tow truck with all four wheels off the ground. Towing an AWD vehicle with any wheels rolling on the pavement can cause serious and expensive damage to the transfer case, differentials, and drivetrain. Our 21-foot rollback flatbed handles AWD cars, lifted 4×4 trucks, electric vehicles, and low-profile vehicles safely. If you drive an AWD or 4WD vehicle, always ask specifically for flatbed towing — and we’ll confirm that’s what we’re sending before we arrive. Learn more on our flatbed towing page.

Yes. We work with AAA and most major motor clubs and insurance roadside assistance programs. When you call, let us know you have coverage and we’ll provide itemized documentation for all services, making reimbursement straightforward when you pay out of pocket. We accept all major credit and debit cards and cash.

Pull as far off the road as safely possible — onto a shoulder, a side road, or a parking area. Turn on your hazard lights immediately, even in daylight. If you have road flares or reflective triangles, place them behind your vehicle. Stay inside if you’re on a highway with passing traffic — it’s safer than standing roadside. In Wyoming winter conditions, run your engine periodically to stay warm but crack a window slightly if you’re running it in an enclosed area. If you’re unsure of your exact location, stay on the line with us — we can usually identify where you are from a description of what you see around you.

Towing costs vary based on the distance of the tow, the type of vehicle, and whether specialized equipment like winching or backcountry recovery is required. A typical local tow within Lander starts around $100 to $150. We always give you a clear price before we begin any work — no surprise charges added after the fact. We work with AAA and most major insurance roadside assistance programs, so in many cases you’ll owe little or nothing out of pocket. See our towing cost page for more detail.

For calls within the Lander city limits and immediately surrounding areas, our typical response time is 30 to 45 minutes. We dispatch the moment you call and give you a realistic arrival estimate based on where our truck is and current road conditions. For locations further out — along Highway 287 toward Crowheart, on mountain roads near Sinks Canyon, or on backcountry routes — response time will be longer, but we’ll tell you exactly what to expect and check in with you along the way. We never leave anyone wondering where we are.
