TowQuote
TowQuote is a mobile app (with a lightweight web portal for providers) that lets stranded drivers request towing or jump-start help with an upfront, locked-in price before anyone is dispatched. Instead of vague ETAs and surprise fees, the app collects vehicle details, location, destination, and photos, then matches the job to nearby operators who bid within a fixed ruleset (hookup fee, per-mile, after-hours). Drivers see provider ratings, insurance/licensing verification, and a live map with the truck’s GPS. Payments are held in escrow and released when the driver confirms completion, reducing disputes. It’s a traditional app with a small AI component that flags suspicious pricing, predicts realistic ETAs based on traffic and past performance, and auto-summarizes job details for dispatch. The goal is not “cheapest,” but predictable service you can trust when you’re stressed and vulnerable.
