Who provides 24/7 tow truck service in Romulus, MI?
Elite Detroit Towing covers both Romulus ZIPs — 48174 (city proper) and 48242 (DTW airport district) — 24 hours a day. Typical arrival is 22–30 minutes from our Tireman Avenue base.
Romulus is the home of Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), which means our Romulus calls split into two distinct categories. The first is the airport itself: long-term parking, hotel lots along Merriman, rental car return lots, and the cell-phone waiting area. The second is residential Romulus around Wayne Rd, Eureka Rd, and Wick.

The airport hotel cluster sees frequent overnight dead-battery and lockout calls from travelers returning to their rental cars or parked vehicles.
