Dismount, mount and fit at the roadside, on a driveway or in a car park. Not a plug, not your spare — the actual tire replaced.
Towing, tires and hauling. Any hour.
J&M Platinum Transports is a Henderson, North Carolina towing and transport company. We tow, we haul, and we carry a tire machine on the truck — so a wrecked tire gets replaced where you are standing instead of costing you a tow to a tire shop. One call, a straight price, and somebody actually on the way.
Henderson, NC · 24 hours
What rides on our deck
One call, from Henderson to wherever it is going.
Whether it is a blown tire on the shoulder of I-85, a wreck that needs clearing before the road opens, a car that has slid off a wet driveway, or a load that has to be several states away by the end of the week — we come to you, with the price agreed before we roll.

We bring the tire machine and do it right there.
This is the part most people do not expect from a tow company. Roadside services fit the spare you already have; if the tire itself is destroyed, or you have no spare, they hook you up and take you to a tire shop. We carry a tire machine on the truck, so the old tire comes off the rim and a new one goes on where the vehicle is standing — and you drive away on it.
Tell us the size off the sidewall and which way you want to go. Used is the cheap way out of a bad day; new is right when the rest of the tread is good.
Plenty of newer vehicles ship with a sealant kit and no spare at all. That is normally an automatic tow. With us it is not.
One blowout on the shoulder, or a whole set swapped over without booking the vehicle into a shop for the morning.
From a torn tire to a load across three states.
Two halves to this business, on one phone number. The wrecker side covers Henderson and the counties around it, 24 hours a day. The carrier side runs freight, equipment and vehicles a long way further than that.
Mobile Tire Service
We carry a tire machine on the truck, so a bad tire gets dealt with where the vehicle is sitting — dismounted, the new one mounted on the rim, and you drive away. No spare needed, no tow to a tire shop, no leaving the vehicle overnight. New or used tires, whatever suits the wheel and the budget.
Learn more →Flatbed rollback, any hour24 Hour Towing
Everyday towing around Henderson, up and down I-85 and out across the Northern Piedmont. Cars, SUVs, pickups and vans go up on the Jerr-Dan deck with every wheel clear of the road, and get delivered to the shop, the dealer or the address you name — not the one that pays us the most.
Learn more →Here for the worst part of the dayAccident Assistance
After a wreck you are shaken, the road is blocked and everybody wants something from you. We clear the vehicle from the scene safely, work around whichever police, fire or EMS crews are on site, and take it to the body shop you choose. You get an itemized receipt for the insurance claim.
Learn more →DOT-registered interstate carrierLong Haul Freight
We are not just a local wrecker. J&M Platinum Transports holds active interstate operating authority — USDOT #3854197, MC #1405847 — and runs general freight over the road. If you have a load that needs to be somewhere a long way from here, that is a conversation worth having.
Learn more →Machinery, equipment & awkward loadsHeavy Haul
Equipment moves that a normal trailer will not take. Machinery off a job site, a piece of plant that needs relocating, or the sort of load where the weight and the shape are both the problem. Tell us the dimensions and the weight and we will tell you straight whether it is a job for us.
Learn more →Auction, dealer & private movesVehicle Transport
Moving a vehicle that is not a breakdown. Auction pickups, dealer transfers, a project car coming home, a student's car heading to college, or a vehicle following a house move. "Motor Vehicles" is one of the two cargo classes we are registered to carry, so this is core business rather than a favour.
Learn more →For lenders, dealers & BHPH lotsRepossessions
Recovery work for lenders, dealers and buy-here-pay-here lots across the Henderson area and the I-85 corridor. Handled calmly and professionally, with the paperwork right and the condition documented on collection — because the last thing you need is a recovery that turns into a dispute.
Learn more →Cars, scrap & the stuff in the wayJunk Removal
That car that has not moved in three years, the scrap piled up behind the shed, or a clear-out that needs a truck and somebody willing to load it. We haul away junk vehicles and general junk, winched or loaded, and give you the space back.
Learn more →Stuck in the mud, ditch or sandWinch Outs & Recovery
Off the shoulder, backed into a ditch, or sunk to the axles on soft ground after a wet week. We work out how the vehicle is sitting first, pick anchor and pull points that will actually take the load, and bring it back out under controlled tension rather than snatching at it.
Learn more →Back on the road, no tow neededRoadside Assistance
Not every breakdown needs the deck. A jump, a tire, a few gallons of fuel or a door opened is often the whole job — and because we carry a tire machine, quite a lot of the calls that would strand somebody else get finished on the spot.
Learn more →Dead battery? Quickest call we runJump Starts
A dead battery is the fastest job we do. We come to you, connect properly so nothing in your vehicle takes a spike, get you started — and then give you a straight answer about whether that battery is going to leave you stranded again on Thursday.
Learn more →Out of gas? We will bring itFuel Delivery
Running dry happens, and walking the shoulder of I-85 with a gas can is a genuinely bad idea. Call us instead and we will bring enough gas or diesel to get you to the nearest pump under your own power.
Learn more →Locked out? We will get you inLockout Service
Keys sitting on the driver seat and every door locked. We use proper lockout tools to open the vehicle without hurting the door, the glass or the weather seal — considerably cheaper and less painful than a broken window and a trip to the dealer.
Learn more →We are a registered motor carrier, not just a wrecker.
J&M Platinum Transports holds active interstate operating authority — USDOT #3854197, MC #1405847 — registered for general freight and motor vehicles, and verifiable on the FMCSA SAFER system. That is what puts long haul, heavy haul, vehicle transport and repossession work on this list alongside the towing, and it is why our range for a load is nothing like our range for a wrecker.
Active interstate authority under MC #1405847, running general freight over the road rather than only around the county.
Machinery, plant and equipment. Give us the dimensions and the weight and you get a straight yes or no.
Auction pickups, dealer transfers and private moves — motor vehicles are one of the two cargo classes we are registered for.
Recovery work for lenders, dealers and buy-here-pay-here lots, with the condition documented at collection.
Real calls, from people having a bad day.
Nobody phones a tow truck because things are going well. This is what they said afterwards.
“Great service, came in the middle of the night when I was stranded at a rest area on highway 85. Was over a 2 hour total pick up and drop off time for them and they gave me a really reasonable rate. Had my car back in my driveway a few hours later with the young lady really knowing her stuff and working the tow truck like a pro. They helped me out in a bad spot and I was very happy to be able to count on them. Great service”
“They were so amazing! Came through and got everything hooked up and made the process easy! Super friendly and very good at communicating. Thank you!”
“My guy really looked out for me. Showed up when he said he would and handled business like a real professional. Only a fool wouldn’t choose this company. Did a great job!!!!”
“Good timing the best service I ever had always goin to use them you should too”
We answer, we show up, and the price is the price.
Being broken down is bad enough without wondering whether anybody is actually coming, or hearing one number on the phone and a different one when the driver arrives. We tell you what it costs before we roll, we bring the equipment the job actually needs, and we get it done.
The tire machine means a lot of calls that would be a tow for somebody else are finished at the roadside. Cheaper for you, and you keep your vehicle.
Quoted before we leave, with an itemized receipt after — the paperwork an insurer or an accounts department actually needs.
Open 24 hours, seven days. Nights, weekends and holidays are when vehicles let people down, so that is when we answer.
Getting help is simple.
No runaround and no hold music. Here is what a call to J&M Platinum Transports looks like.

Back on the road on a new tire, or your vehicle safely where you wanted it, with an itemized receipt in hand.
Service you can count on.
Being stuck is stressful enough without wondering whether help is coming or what it is going to cost. We are a DOT-registered motor carrier (USDOT #3854197, MC #1405847) based right here in Henderson, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Broken down? Stay safe, then call.
Practical advice from J&M Platinum Transports for the ten minutes before the truck gets there.
Get somewhere safe first
If you break down, pull as far onto the shoulder as you safely can, put your hazards on, and stay buckled inside the vehicle. On I-85 or US-1, standing outside your car is the most dangerous thing you can do while you wait.
Know exactly where you are
The fastest way to get a truck to you is a precise location — an I-85 exit number, a mile marker, a cross street or a landmark you can actually see. "Somewhere on 158" costs everybody time.
Read the tire size off the sidewall
If it is a tire, walk around and read the code on the side — something like 265/70R17. That one line tells us what to load before we leave, and it is the difference between one trip and two.
Covering 73 towns across 12 counties.
Out of Henderson we run all of Vance County, down I-85 to Oxford, Butner and Durham, along US-1 to Franklinton, Wake Forest and Raleigh, east on US-158 to Roanoke Rapids and out to Rocky Mount, and north across the Virginia line to South Hill. Find your town below.
Questions drivers ask us.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Henderson and cover 73 cities and towns across 12 counties — Vance, Granville, Warren, Franklin, Wake, Durham, Person, Nash, Halifax and Northampton in North Carolina, plus Mecklenburg and Brunswick counties just over the line in Virginia. That runs from Raleigh and Durham up the I-85 corridor to South Hill, and east on US-158 and US-64 to Rocky Mount, Roanoke Rapids and Weldon.
What are your hours?
We are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call (252) 272-2085 at any hour — nights, weekends and holidays included.
Do you really change tires at the roadside?
Yes, and it is the thing that sets us apart. We carry a tire machine on the truck, so the old tire is dismounted and a new one mounted on the rim where your vehicle is sitting. Most roadside services can only fit the spare you already have, which is no use at all if the tire is destroyed or the vehicle never came with a spare.
Can you supply the tire, new or used?
Both. Read the size off the sidewall when you call — something like 265/70R17 — and tell us which way you want to go. Used is the cheaper way out; new makes sense when the rest of your tread is still good.
Do you do more than towing?
A good deal more. We are a DOT-registered motor carrier with active interstate authority (USDOT #3854197, MC #1405847) for general freight and motor vehicles, so alongside the wrecker work we run long haul freight, heavy haul, vehicle transport, repossessions and junk removal.
How far will you tow?
Around the Henderson area for everyday towing, and a very long way indeed for transport work. Because we hold interstate authority, out-of-area and out-of-state runs are genuinely on the table. Give us the pickup and the destination and we will quote the whole run up front.
How does your pricing work?
You get a price before we dispatch, based on what you tell us on the phone. If we arrive and the situation is materially different from what was described — the vehicle will not roll, it is somewhere else, the tire is a different size — we tell you what changes before we carry on rather than after.
Can I choose which shop you tow my car to?
Always. It is your vehicle, so it is your call. Name the repair shop, body shop, dealer or address and that is where it goes.
Do I have to use the tow truck the police call to a crash?
No. Where the scene is clear and the choice is yours, you are free to call whoever you want and to decide where the vehicle ends up. Call us and we will be straight with you about your options.
Are you a registered motor carrier?
Yes. J&M Platinum Transports LLC operates under USDOT #3854197 and MC #1405847 with active interstate authority, registered for general freight and motor vehicles. You can look all of it up on the FMCSA SAFER system.
Do you do repossessions?
Yes, for lenders, dealers and buy-here-pay-here lots. We need paperwork evidencing the right to repossess before anything moves, and the vehicle condition is documented at the point of collection.
Can you help if I am locked out or out of gas?
Yes. Jump starts, tire work, fuel delivery, lockouts and winch outs are all part of what we do — and quite often you do not need a tow at all. We will tell you that honestly rather than load you up anyway.
My car will not roll — can you still move it?
Yes. Flat tires, no key, seized brakes, collision damage, or a car that has been parked in the same spot for years — it gets winched up onto the deck and secured. Just tell us the condition so we bring the right gear.
Do you cross into Virginia?
We do. South Hill, La Crosse, Boydton, Clarksville, Lawrenceville and the surrounding Mecklenburg and Brunswick county towns are inside our normal area — I-85 runs straight up there. And because our authority is interstate, freight and transport work goes very much further than that.
Need a truck right now?
Tell us where you are and what you are looking at — a flat tire, a wreck, or a load that needs moving three states over — and we will give you a price and get somebody on the way. Call (252) 272-2085, any hour.
