Our History & Community Roots
Serving Prince George’s County Since 2004
J & L Towing and Recovery has been a trusted name in Upper Marlboro, Maryland for over two decades. Since opening our doors in 2004, we have built our reputation one motorist at a time — showing up on time, handling vehicles with care, and treating every customer the way we’d want our own family treated on the side of the road.
What started as a small operation has grown into a fully equipped towing and recovery fleet, capable of handling everything from a simple jump start on the Capital Beltway (I-495) to complex accident recovery on Route 4 or Route 301. Through that growth, we’ve never lost the neighborhood values that built us. We’re not a call center dispatching to strangers — we’re your neighbors, and we take that personally.

Our Certifications & Professional Standards
Wreckmaster-Certified Operators You Can Trust
Not all towing companies are created equal. At J & L Towing, our operators are Wreckmaster-certified — meaning they have completed formal training in towing, rigging, and recovery techniques recognized throughout the towing industry. This certification means your vehicle is in hands that know exactly how to load, secure, and transport it without causing additional damage.
Every tow we perform includes a multi-point safety inspection before your vehicle ever leaves the ground. From proper strap placement and tie-down protocols to vehicle clearance checks and load balancing, we treat every tow — whether it’s a compact car or a classic Corvette — with the same rigorous standards.
J & L Towing is also fully insured and compliant with all Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) requirements for towing operators in Prince George’s County.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your safety is the top priority while you wait. If possible, move your vehicle to the shoulder or away from active traffic lanes. Turn on your hazard lights immediately — even in daylight. If it’s safe to exit the vehicle, stand behind a guardrail or well away from the road. Place emergency triangles or flares behind your vehicle if you have them. Stay on the phone with our dispatcher if you feel unsafe — we’ll stay in communication with you until our operator arrives. Our goal is to reach you quickly, but please never stand in a travel lane while waiting for help.
