Answer first
Need a tow truck in Lighthouse Point, FL?
Yes — we tow in Lighthouse Point 24/7. Trucks leave our Sunrise base at 8610 NW 24th Ct, roughly 17.5 miles south, and the typical window is 30-50 minutes; dispatch confirms your real ETA on the call. Call (786) 436-3553.
Coverage map
Where in Lighthouse Point do we send tow trucks?
The whole city, which is compact — about two and a half miles long and a mile wide. Regular calls come from Venetian Isles and Lake Placid on the east side, the Coral Key Villas and Hillsboro Isles sections, Pompano Waterway Estates along the canals, and the shopping strip on Federal Highway — Shoppers Haven and the lots around Pompano Citi Centre nearby.
Lighthouse Point is bordered by Deerfield Beach to the north, Hillsboro Beach across the Intracoastal Waterway to the east, and Pompano Beach to the west and south — Sample Rd is the southern edge. Every street in between is within a few blocks of a canal.
Distance
How far is Lighthouse Point from our Sunrise base?
About 17.5 road miles. The usual run is I-595 east to I-95 north, exiting at Sample Rd and heading east to Federal Hwy; when I-95 is jammed we sometimes run US-1 straight up through Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach instead. In light traffic that is a 30-minute run — rush hour on I-95 or drawbridge traffic on the Intracoastal side pushes it toward 50.
We quote a range, not a promise: the dispatcher checks live conditions when you call and gives you an honest arrival window before the truck rolls.
Corridor breakdowns
What happens if you break down on Federal Hwy or Sample Rd in Lighthouse Point?
There is no interstate inside the city — US-1 (Federal Hwy) along the west edge and Sample Rd on the south border carry most of the traffic, with NE 36th St as the main east-west street to the Intracoastal side. On Federal Hwy, pull into a business lot if you can rather than sitting at the curb; tell dispatch the nearest cross street and which side of the road you are on.
On Sample Rd, give your direction and whether you are east or west of Federal. If your breakdown is actually on I-95 near the Sample Rd exit, say so — FDOT Road Rangers patrol that stretch of I-95 in Broward and may reach you first for a free basic assist while our truck is on the way.
Local scenario
Boat trailer or marina trouble near Hillsboro Inlet?
This is a boating city — roughly 18 miles of canals, homes with lifts, and regular runs to the Hillsboro Inlet. That means trucks with trailers in tow, SUVs parked on marine lots, and vehicles sitting at the Lighthouse Point Marina (PORT 32) or along NE 36th St near the water. Loading a pickup hitched to a trailer is a different job: tell dispatch the trailer is attached, its approximate length, and whether it needs to move with the truck or stay put.
Canal-side streets are narrow and many end in cul-de-sacs with no room to turn a long flatbed around. Our drivers plan the approach so the car loads nose-out — mention if your street dead-ends at the water.
Local scenario
Dead battery in a canal-front driveway or at Dan Witt Park?
A lot of Lighthouse Point calls are residential: a car that will not start in a waterfront driveway, a seasonal resident back for the winter whose battery died in the garage, or a truck that ran its battery down launching a boat. Our roadside service truck handles jump starts, lockouts and tire changes in your driveway — no tow needed when the fix is small.
We also see calls around Dan Witt Park, the fields off NE 36th St, and the Federal Hwy shopping lots like Shoppers Haven. If a relative’s car has been sitting at a waterfront home all summer, tell dispatch the address and whether a boat or trailer blocks the driveway so the driver positions correctly.
Local conditions
When do Lighthouse Point drivers usually call a tow truck?
King tides are the big one here: the canal system pushes water over the lowest streets on the east side several times a year, and cars parked at the curb overnight take on water. Salt air kills batteries and corrodes terminals faster than inland. Hurricane season brings a wave of calls — dead batteries discovered during prep, vehicles that need moving off the street, trailers that have to be relocated.
We also get the seasonal-resident calls — cars that sat untouched from May to November — and ordinary breakdowns on Federal Hwy and Sample Rd, where turning traffic makes a stalled car an immediate hazard.
Equipment
Which tow truck do we send in Lighthouse Point?
The vehicle mix here leans toward full-size SUVs, pickups and luxury sedans — plus the occasional classic car heading to a show. Flatbeds carry AWD SUVs, low sports cars and anything that should not roll on its own wheels. Wheel-lift wreckers fit the narrow canal streets and cul-de-sacs where a rollback cannot swing. The service truck covers jump starts, lockouts, tire changes and fuel delivery.
Pickup trucks with trailers attached get a flatbed and a plan for the trailer. For heavy equipment or commercial vehicles we tell you on the call if the job needs a bigger unit — no surprises at the curb.
ZIPs
Which ZIP codes do we cover in Lighthouse Point?
The city runs on 33064 for street addresses — every canal street, cul-de-sac and Federal Hwy storefront. (33074 is the local PO-box ZIP.) Give the street name and the nearest cross street — NE 36th St, NE 24th St or Federal Hwy — and dispatch knows exactly where the truck should stage.
Pricing
How much does a tow in Lighthouse Point cost?
It depends on where the car is, where it is going, and what it takes to load it — a cul-de-sac winch-out is not priced like a curbside hookup on Federal Hwy, and a trailer changes the job. What we promise is simple: a real quote on the phone before anything moves. If something changes on site — a different vehicle, location or extra work — the driver tells you and confirms before doing it. Call (786) 436-3553 and describe the job — no obligation.

FAQs
Lighthouse Point towing questions answered
Can you get a truck down my narrow canal street or cul-de-sac?
Almost always. Much of Lighthouse Point is waterfront cul-de-sacs, so our drivers plan the approach before arriving — a wheel-lift fits tighter spots, and we position so the car loads nose-out. Tell dispatch if your street dead-ends at the water.
My truck is hitched to a boat trailer — can you still tow it?
Yes, but tell us on the call. The trailer changes the job: we need its approximate length and whether it moves with the truck or stays at the marina. Dispatch confirms the setup and the right equipment before anything rolls.
Do you cover the streets that flood during king tides?
Yes — the east-side canal streets near the Intracoastal that take on water are regular calls for us. If your car sat through a tide, do not try to start it; call us and we will plan a flatbed pull to a dry lot or straight to your mechanic.
Can you jump start my car in my driveway, or does it need a tow?
Our roadside service truck does jump starts, lockouts, tire changes and fuel delivery right where the car sits — most Lighthouse Point calls like this are resolved in the driveway without a tow.
How long does a tow truck take to reach Lighthouse Point?
Trucks leave Sunrise, about 17.5 road miles south, and the usual window is 30-50 minutes depending on I-95 and Sample Rd traffic. Dispatch checks live conditions and confirms a real ETA when you call — we do not promise fixed times.
How much is a tow from Lighthouse Point to my mechanic?
It depends on the pickup, the destination and the loading — trailer work and cul-de-sac pulls differ from a curbside hookup. You get a real quote on the phone before we dispatch. If anything changes on site — different vehicle, location or extra work — the driver tells you and confirms before doing it. Call (786) 436-3553.
