Melissa, TX

24/7 towing & roadside assistance in Melissa

Melissa sits where SH 121 splits off US 75, just north of McKinney. At that split, drivers bound for Anna and Sherman stay on US 75 while traffic for Trenton and Bonham follows SH 121 northeast, and the interchange stays busy well into the night. SH 5 runs through the old part of town, Melissa Road crosses 75 and runs past the newer neighborhoods and the high school, and the county roads east of town go rural within a mile. US 75 and SH 121 share the same lanes from Melissa south into McKinney, so if you break down farther south on that stretch, see our tow truck service in McKinney. Maverick answers 24 hours a day, and dispatch sends the available truck best positioned to reach you.

Maverick uses the towing method appropriate for the vehicle, its condition, manufacturer requirements and pickup location, and our drivers also handle winching, jump starts, tire changes and fuel delivery. Around Melissa that means pulling cars out of the ditches along the farm roads, changing tires cut by construction debris in the new subdivisions, and jump starting cars in driveways on cold mornings. Tell dispatch about low clearance, AWD/4WD, electric powertrains or locked wheels when calling. If the car needs a shop, we can tow it to McKinney, Plano or wherever you choose. The company is licensed, bonded and insured in Texas, with more than ten years in DFW.

Wrecks at the SH 121 and US 75 merge can be serious. If anyone is hurt or in danger, call 911 first. If the car still moves and it is safe to do so, get to the frontage road, turn on the hazards, and call us. At a crash scene, law enforcement may decide which tow company is used and where the car goes. When officers permit it, Maverick can tow the car to the shop or destination you choose.

FAQ

Melissa towing questions

Can you tow from Melissa to a shop in McKinney or Plano?

Yes. Most of the repair shops and dealerships closest to Melissa are down US 75 in McKinney, with more in Allen and Plano. We tow to whichever one you name, or to your driveway if you want to decide later. Tell dispatch the shop name and address when you call.

My car slid into a ditch on a county road east of Melissa. Can you winch it out?

Yes, winching is part of our roadside service, including on the county roads and acreage east of town. Those roads go dark fast, so tell dispatch the last intersection you passed and how the car is sitting. Whether a winch-out works or the car needs a tow depends on its position and condition. If anyone is hurt or the car is blocking a lane, call 911 first.

My tire blew out on US 75 near the SH 121 merge. What should I do?

If anyone is hurt or you are stopped in a live lane, call 911 first. If the car will roll and it is safe to do so, get onto the shoulder or the frontage road, put on the hazards, and call us. Our driver changes the tire if you have a usable spare. If you do not, we can tow the car to a tire shop.
