History
TowGator was founded in 2020 by tech entrepreneur Al Lijee to broaden market competition for towing and roadside assistance providers and to help users connect with reliable, trustworthy towing companies in their ZIP code.

Members
Most of the towing and roadside assistance companies listed on TowGator are small family owned businesses with a handful of employees; some of the companies have multiple regional locations and serve a wider coverage area spanning multiple counties or regions. TowGator provides these businesses with greater online visibility by leveraging SEO strategies and helps them compete for quality leads within their service area.
This also benefits customers since they are better able to find local, independent towing companies within their ZIP code that often have more competitive prices than larger towing companies.[6]
All member partners listed on the TowGator platform must first undergo a vetting and approval process whereby the applicant must demonstrate a commitment to providing honest, genuine and high-quality services as well as providing customers with a free quote before engaging in any work.
