Towing, tires and hauling, 24 hours a day.
Pick the service you need below. A shredded tire on the shoulder or a load that needs to be three states away by Friday — we come to you, and you get the price before we roll.
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.

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.

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.

A rollback deck, a winch and a tire machine.
The flatbed rollback puts every wheel clear of the road, which is the right answer for all-wheel drive, electric, lowered and non-rolling vehicles. The winch handles anything that has left the pavement. And the tire machine — the piece most wreckers do not carry — means a destroyed tire is a roadside repair rather than an automatic tow.
On the carrier side we hold interstate authority for general freight and motor vehicles, so long haul, heavy haul and vehicle transport are registered work rather than a sideline.
What rides on our deck
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.
Not sure which one you need?
Describe what you are looking at and we will tell you what it takes. Call (252) 272-2085.
