St George Towing & Recovery
St. George towing and recovery company offering 24-hour emergency towing, roadside assistance and vehicle recovery.
St George Towing & Recovery covers emergency towing, roadside assistance and vehicle recovery around the clock from 1000 East. Any towing operation based here works with one particular piece of road in mind, because it produces calls out of proportion to its length and it is the least forgiving stretch in the region.
Background
Interstate 15 running southwest out of St. George drops through the corner of Arizona and into the Virgin River Gorge, threading a narrow canyon for roughly thirty miles between the Utah line and Littlefield. There is nothing on it — no towns, no fuel, no services — and it was difficult enough to build through solid rock that for years it held the distinction of being the most expensive rural section of the interstate system in the country. Grades and curves are severe by interstate standards, the shoulder is narrow in places, cell coverage is patchy in the canyon, and summer surface temperatures on that pavement are brutal. A breakdown there cannot be walked away from and cannot be reached quickly: help comes from St. George at one end or Mesquite at the other. Anyone driving it in July with an aging cooling system or tires past their date is running the least forgiving miles in southern Utah.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the Virgin River Gorge a difficult place to break down?
Because there is nothing there. The roughly thirty miles of I-15 through the gorge has no towns, fuel or services, the shoulder is narrow in places, cell coverage is unreliable in the canyon, and the grades and curves make stopping safely harder than on ordinary interstate.
Where does help come from in the gorge?
From St. George at the north end or Mesquite at the south, which means a real wait either way. It is the single strongest argument for checking coolant, tires and battery before a summer drive to Las Vegas rather than after.
