Commercial & Fleet Towing

Commercial & Fleet Towing in Gilbert, AZ

When a delivery truck breaks down on Gilbert Road during the morning rush, or a fleet vehicle dies in the parking lot at SanTan Village, or a box truck throws a belt on the Loop 202 — you need a towing company that answers the phone, shows up fast, and handles commercial vehicles. Thompson’s Auto Repair & Towing provides commercial and fleet towing services throughout Gilbert and the East Valley, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have the heavy-duty equipment to tow delivery trucks, box trucks, work vans, fleet vehicles, buses, and other commercial equipment. Over 30 years in business, and we work with businesses across Gilbert and the surrounding cities to keep their vehicles on the road. Call 480-418-9206.

Why Choose Thompson’s for Commercial Towing

Downtime costs money. When a commercial vehicle is sitting on the side of the road, it’s not making deliveries, not carrying passengers, and not generating revenue. Every hour it sits there is money lost. Bryan Vivian built Thompson’s with that reality in mind. When you call us for a commercial tow, we treat it as urgent — because for your business, it is.

Here’s what sets Thompson’s apart for commercial and fleet customers:

  • Fast response. We prioritize commercial calls because we understand the financial impact of downtime. Our typical response time within Gilbert is 20-30 minutes.
  • Right-sized equipment. We have flatbed trucks and heavy-duty wreckers capable of handling vehicles up to and beyond the weight of a standard box truck or delivery vehicle.
  • Fleet accounts. For businesses with multiple vehicles, we offer fleet account relationships. One phone number, priority service, consistent pricing, and streamlined billing. Talk to us about setting up an account.
  • Tow AND repair. This is the big one. If your commercial vehicle broke down due to a mechanical issue, we can often fix it. Brakes, electrical, engine problems, cooling system — our repair shop handles it. That means your truck goes from the breakdown location to our shop, gets fixed, and goes back to work. No bouncing between a towing company and a separate mechanic.

How Commercial Towing Works

Step 1: Call 480-418-9206. Let us know it’s a commercial vehicle, the type and size, and the location. If your company has a fleet account with us, mention it and we’ll pull up your info immediately.

Step 2: Rapid dispatch. We send the appropriate truck — flatbed for smaller commercial vehicles, heavy-duty wrecker for larger trucks. We aim to be on scene within 20-30 minutes for Gilbert locations.

Step 3: Load and transport. We secure the commercial vehicle and transport it to your preferred destination — our repair shop, your company lot, a dealership, or another location you specify.

Step 4: Repair (if applicable). If the vehicle needs work, we can diagnose and repair it. We understand that commercial vehicles need to get back on the road, so we prioritize fleet repairs and communicate estimated completion times clearly.

Step 5: Back to work. Your vehicle is repaired, road-ready, and back in service. We provide documentation for your fleet records if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions — Commercial & Fleet Towing

Can you tow a fully loaded box truck?

It depends on the weight. Our heavy-duty equipment can handle most standard box trucks (up to 26 feet). For very heavy loads, we’ll assess the situation and may need to arrange for the cargo to be transferred before towing. Call us and we’ll figure out the best approach.

Do you provide roadside repair for commercial vehicles?

For some issues — dead battery, flat tire, minor electrical problems — we can sometimes resolve the problem on site. For anything more involved, we’ll tow the vehicle to our shop where we have full diagnostic and repair equipment.

How quickly can you respond to commercial towing calls?

Within Gilbert, our typical response time is 20-30 minutes. Fleet account holders get priority dispatch. Highway incidents may be faster depending on our truck locations.

Can Thompson’s handle parking lot enforcement towing?

Yes. If you manage a commercial property in Gilbert and need vehicles removed from your lot, talk to us about a towing enforcement arrangement. We handle the towing; you handle the signage and authorization.

Do you offer after-hours commercial towing?

We’re 24/7. Trucks break down at 2 AM just as often as 2 PM. Call 480-418-9206 anytime.
