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.
Henderson, North Carolina. Two trucks, one phone number.
J&M Platinum Transports runs towing, roadside help and on-site tire service around Henderson, and hauls freight, equipment and vehicles a good deal further — with the straight pricing you would want from a company based down the road from you.
Who we are
A Henderson company that answers its own phone.
J&M Platinum Transports LLC operates out of Henderson, in the middle of Vance County, right where I-85 and US-1 cross the northern Piedmont. It is a small outfit and that is the point — the phone gets answered by the people who run the trucks, and the price you are quoted is the price you pay. There is no dispatch centre in between.
From Henderson we cover Vance County and run out across Vance, Granville, Warren, Franklin, Wake, Durham, Person, Nash, Halifax and Northampton counties — 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 Weldon, out to Rocky Mount, and north over the state line into Mecklenburg and Brunswick counties in Virginia. That is 73 towns in 12 counties.
We are a DOT-registered motor carrier operating under USDOT #3854197 and MC #1405847, with active interstate authority for general freight and motor vehicles. That authority is why this is not only a wrecker service: long haul, heavy haul and vehicle transport are things we are registered and equipped to do, and you can verify all of it on the FMCSA SAFER system.
The name on the door is the name on the paperwork. If you have seen the white rollback around Henderson with the red J on the door, that is us.
Our promise
“Tell us where you are and what you have got. We will tell you the price, bring what the job needs, and get it done.”
Mobile tire service · our difference
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.
What sets us apart
Why Vance County drivers call J&M Platinum.
Open 24 hours, and we mean it
Breakdowns do not keep business hours. A 2 a.m. call from the shoulder of I-85 gets answered exactly the same as a Tuesday afternoon one — nights, weekends and holidays included.
We bring the tire machine
This is the one that surprises people. Most roadside services can only fit the spare you already have. We carry a tire machine, so a shredded tire gets replaced where you are standing — new or used — and you drive away on it.
A registered motor carrier, not just a wrecker
J&M Platinum Transports holds active interstate operating authority — USDOT #3854197, MC #1405847 — and it is verifiable on the FMCSA system. That is why long haul, heavy haul and vehicle transport sit on this list next to the towing.
You get the people who own the truck
No call centre auctioning your job to whoever bids lowest. You talk to the outfit that is actually coming out, you get the price before we roll, and the price is the price.
What we do
The full lineup.
From a tire mounted on the shoulder of I-85 to a piece of machinery moved between job sites, here is how J&M Platinum Transports keeps this corner of North Carolina moving.
We bring the tire machine to you
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 →Registered, local, accountable
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.
