Light duty towing in Port Allen, LA
Flatbed and wheel lift towing for cars, SUVs, minivans and pickups. Free estimates.
Your car made a noise on the LA-1 stretch through Brusly that you’ve never heard before, and now it won’t go. Cars love a dramatic exit. Safe Seward Towing Company provides light duty towing for cars, SUVs, minivans and pickups across Port Allen and nearby towns.
Short answer: We tow cars, SUVs, minivans and pickups on a flatbed or a wheel lift. Luxury, lowered and all-wheel drive cars always ride on a flatbed. Call (225) 377-4713 for a free estimate.

Not sure? Tell us the year, make and model and whether it’s all-wheel drive. We’ll send the right truck.
What should I tell the dispatcher?
- Where you are: the road and direction, or the street and nearest cross street.
- The year, make, model and color of the car.
- What happened: it won’t start, a flat with no spare, an accident, or it’s stuck.
- Where the car should go: your mechanic, a dealer, a body shop or your home.
- Whether the keys are with the car.
What should I do while I wait?
- Move the car off the road if you can do it safely, and turn on the hazard lights.
- On I-10 or the bridge, get out on the side away from traffic only if it’s safe, and wait well off the shoulder.
- Take your phone, wallet and valuables out of the car.
- If anyone is hurt, call 911 first.
Could it be a roadside fix instead?
Sometimes, yes. A dead battery may only need a jump start, a flat with a good spare a tire change, an empty tank fuel delivery, and keys locked inside a car lockout visit. Tell us what happened and we’ll tell you which one you need.

Frequently asked questions
Do you tow luxury and lowered cars?
Yes. Luxury, lowered and all-wheel drive cars ride on a flatbed, so the wheels stay off the road.
Can you tow a car with a flat tire?
Yes. If you have a usable spare, we can also put it on so you can drive away instead.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. You get a free estimate and an upfront price before we start. Extra work found on site can add to the price.
