Tow truck in Bedford, VA

Bedford is home. Our trucks start here, so when you break down in town or out in the county, you're calling the closest wrecker around.

Sharptop Towing & Automotive is a Bedford business named for the mountain you can see from almost anywhere in the county. We tow cars, pickups, work trucks and heavy equipment, and we run roadside calls for drivers who just need a jump, a tire swap, gas or a door unlocked.

Because we're based right here, a Bedford call doesn't mean waiting on a truck coming over from Roanoke or Lynchburg. Call dispatch, tell us where you are, and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.

Mountain roads and lake traffic

Bedford County is not flat country. Steep gravel driveways, Parkway overlooks and narrow back roads are where a lot of our calls come from, and that's why we run a wrecker that can winch and recover, not just a rollback.

In the summer, Smith Mountain Lake brings boat trailers, campers and visitors who don't know the roads. Trailer hitch failures, overheated trucks on the climb out of the lake and cars run off the shoulder are calls we take every season.

Bedford towing questions

Do you tow in Bedford County outside of town?

Yes. We cover all of Bedford County, including Forest, Moneta, Goode, Montvale, Huddleston and the Smith Mountain Lake side. Call 540-589-7395 with your location.

Can you get my car off a steep driveway or out of a ditch?

Yes. Recovery and winch-outs are a big part of what we do in the mountains. Tell dispatch how far off the road the vehicle is and whether it's on its wheels.

Can you tow my car to your shop instead of somewhere else?

Yes. We're towing and automotive, so we can tow it in and look at it. If you'd rather go to your own mechanic or a dealer, we'll take it there.

How much does a tow in Bedford cost?

It depends on your vehicle, how far it's going and the situation. Call 540-589-7395 for a real quote instead of a guess.
