About R&D Towing
The River Parishes' 24/7 Towing & Junk Car Team
R&D Towing Services LLC is a locally owned and operated towing, roadside assistance, and junk car buying company based right here in LaPlace, Louisiana. We serve the River Parishes — LaPlace, Reserve, Edgard, Norco, St. Rose, Gramercy, Vacherie, Sorrento, and the communities across St. John the Baptist, St. Charles, St. James, and Ascension Parishes — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, both banks of the river.
We built R&D around one principle: when your vehicle breaks down, you shouldn't have to sit on hold, get transferred to a call center, or get hit with fees nobody told you about. You call, a local operator answers, you get a real ETA, and we dispatch the right truck — every time, no exceptions. On the farther runs out toward St. James and Ascension, we quote an honest ETA up front so you always know what to expect.
We've been serving the River Parishes since 2017, building a 4.8-star reputation one tow at a time. We run our own crew across both banks of the river — no third-party subcontractors, no national dispatch centers, no runaround. When you call (504) 338-8968 , you're talking to the team that's actually coming to help you. One call covers everything — emergency towing, flatbed transport, roadside assistance, accident recovery, commercial towing, and cash for junk cars. Fast, reliable, professional — that's how we've always done it.
Our Services
Emergency Towing
Immediate dispatch across the River Parishes — I-10, I-55, US-61 (Airline), River Road, the bridges, and all local streets. Real ETA confirmed before we hang up. Available 24/7, every day of the year.
Flatbed Towing
All four wheels off the ground — zero drivetrain risk. The correct choice for luxury, classics, AWD, EV, low-clearance, and any vehicle that shouldn't ride a wheel-lift. Tesla, restored classics — handled properly.
Roadside Assistance
Jump starts, lockout service, flat tire changes, fuel delivery, and winch-out recovery — all under one call. We come to your exact location anywhere in the River Parishes, any hour. No tow needed for most situations.
Accident Recovery
Collision scene response and post-accident transport. We tow your vehicle to the shop, body shop, or storage of your choice — careful loading on damaged or non-rolling vehicles, and documentation for your records.
Commercial Towing
Medium-duty and light commercial towing for work trucks, vans, box trucks, and fleet vehicles. Dependable service that keeps your business moving — single calls or ongoing fleet support across the River Parishes.
We Buy Junk Cars
Cash for junk, wrecked, flooded, and non-running vehicles — with free pickup. Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, any condition, all makes and models. Get a quote and we'll handle the tow-away.
What Sets Us Apart
A Local Operator Answers
No phone trees, no "press 1 for towing." When you call (504) 338-8968, you reach a local operator directly — day or night, holiday or late weeknight. The dispatcher and the operator are the same team.
Honest ETAs
We give you a real arrival time before we hang up — not a vague window. On the closer calls we're fast; on the farther runs out to St. James and Ascension, we tell you the honest distance up front. You always know when we're coming.
Upfront Pricing
We confirm the price before we hook up your vehicle. No surprise fees after the tow, no add-ons at the scene. What we quote is what you pay — for towing, for junk car offers, for everything.
LaPlace Based — River Parishes Local
We're based in LaPlace, in the heart of the River Parishes. We know I-10, I-55, US-61, River Road, and the bridges across the river because we drive them every day — both banks, all four parishes.
