U.S. 69 and 69Express
Tell dispatch northbound or southbound, express or general-purpose lane, nearest signed exit, and left or right side. The lane systems have controlled access, so 'on Highway 69' is not enough to identify a safe approach.

Towing & Roadside Assistance in Overland Park, Kansas
Call live Kansas City dispatch at 816-588-8888 for current availability.
Local dispatch starts with the exact pickup
Overland Park requests can involve U.S. 69 express or general-purpose lanes, the I-435 interchange, Metcalf Avenue, office campuses, shopping areas, garages, neighborhoods, or the city's rural-transition edge. Exact direction, lane system, cross street, entrance, and city jurisdiction matter.
Tommy's accepts customer-requested inquiries for Overland Park, Kansas. This page does not claim an Overland Park office, police rotation, public-agency partnership, or a truck stationed nearby. Live dispatch must confirm lawful service authority, exact pickup, availability, equipment fit, destination, and price before assignment.
Road environments around Overland Park
I-435 and U.S. 69 interchange
Several movements converge near College Boulevard, 119th Street, and U.S. 69. Give the full ramp movement—for example, eastbound I-435 toward southbound U.S. 69—and whether you cleared the ramp.
Metcalf Avenue corridor
Metcalf is a central north-south spine with closely spaced businesses and driveways. Include the nearest cross street, direction, and exact lot or curb entrance rather than only a business name.
Office campuses and garages
Around College Boulevard and other employment centers, include the building, lot, entrance, garage level, posted clearance, gate instructions, and space available around the vehicle.
Downtown Overland Park
Near Marty Street, Santa Fe Drive, and the Farmers' Market district, identify the exact curb, public lot, private lot, or alley and any event, pedestrian, or access restriction.
Southern and edge locations
An Overland Park mailing address may be near another city or Johnson County jurisdiction. Share a map pin and cross streets so dispatch can verify the actual pickup rather than inferring it from a ZIP code.
What to tell dispatch
- Say 'Overland Park, Kansas' and share a map pin or exact address
- On U.S. 69, specify express or general-purpose lane, direction, nearest exit, and side of roadway
- On I-435, provide the full ramp movement and whether the vehicle reached a shoulder or exit
- In a campus, shopping center, or garage, give the building, lot, entrance, level, and height restriction
- Describe the vehicle, problem, drivetrain, damage, key availability, and whether it rolls, steers, and brakes
- Give the destination and ask dispatch to confirm any toll, waiting, access, or special-equipment charge
Ask live dispatch to confirm the complete price before assignment. Pickup, destination, mileage, access, roadside materials, loading or recovery work, waiting, tolls, and required equipment can affect the estimate. Government-posted impound fees are not Tommy's voluntary-service rates.

Local scene safety
Call 911 first for injury, fire, a vehicle blocking a travel lane, or immediate danger. On a breakdown, move as far from traffic as safely possible, activate hazard lights, and do not stand in or cross live lanes. Do not cross the double-white buffer between U.S. 69 express and general-purpose lanes merely to reach a meeting point. Follow law-enforcement instructions at an active scene.
Questions drivers ask
What should I report if I am stopped on 69Express?
Give northbound or southbound, express or general-purpose lane, nearest signed exit or cross street, side of the roadway, and whether the vehicle is fully outside the travel lane. A live-lane obstruction or immediate danger is a 911 call.
Can I cross the double white lines to meet a tow truck?
Do not cross the marked buffer simply to reach an exit or meeting point. Tell dispatch your exact lane system and location, and follow police or incident-response instructions when present.
Do I need a KTAG on 69Express?
KDOT says a compatible transponder is not required; vehicles without one may be identified by plate and billed at the applicable rate. Ask dispatch whether any toll-related cost affects your service estimate.
Can my vehicle go to a repair shop in Missouri?
Possibly, but cross-state transport requires consent from the driver or owner, their motor club, or the insurer processing the claim or its agent, as applicable, plus confirmed service availability, destination, route, and price. Do not assume a Kansas pickup automatically includes Missouri delivery.
What if my car was already removed from an Overland Park lot?
That is different from requesting roadside service. The City directs vehicle owners to its towing-information process to determine why and where a vehicle was removed. Tommy's cannot release a vehicle held by another provider.
Does roadside service continue during flooding or snow?
Only when the pickup and route are safe and accessible. Never drive through floodwater. During snow operations, parked vehicles, plowing, ice, closures, and truck access can affect whether and when service is possible.
Can an AWD, EV, low-clearance car, or garage vehicle be towed?
The correct method depends on the exact vehicle, condition, manufacturer's instructions, garage clearance, and compatible equipment. Give dispatch the year, make, model, drivetrain, damage, key status, and whether it rolls, steers, and brakes.
