Frequently Asked Questions

What TowSitePros does, what it does not do, and what it costs.

FAQ List

Do my drivers need an app?

No. When you assign a job, the driver gets a text with a link to that job: the customer, the vehicle, the pickup, one-tap navigation, en-route / arrived / done buttons, photos, and the customer's messages. There is also a standing "my jobs" link per unit that lists everything on their truck. Nothing to install, nothing to log into, and it works on any phone.

Do you send text messages to my customers?

Yes, when the customer has agreed. Your forms collect that consent and it is recorded on every job. Texts go out automatically at the moments you choose: we got your request, which truck is coming, on the way, arrived, done, cancelled, and they carry the tracking link. They send through the platform's texting service or from your own GoHighLevel number. STOP is honoured automatically. The consent for those messages belongs to your company, not to us, and you confirm that when you switch texting on.

Can my customer see where the truck is?

Yes. While a job is active the driver's page shares the truck's position, and the customer's tracking page shows it on a map, with the arrival time you set. If the customer has also shared their location, the page adds a distance-based estimate, labeled as one. You see the same map on the job. If the driver's phone stops sharing, the page says how old the last position is rather than pretending. You can switch the map off for your company at any time.

Can I log jobs that did not come from my website?

Yes, and that is the point. Log a job from the dashboard in a few taps and record where it came from (the phone, a motor club, a police rotation, private property, a dealer, a fleet or a walk-in), who is paying, and their purchase order, claim or dispatch number. Or push them in from another system through the API, or import a spreadsheet of them.

Does my customer have to create an account to track their job?

No. They tap a link and see their job. The link itself is the only key, the page is never indexed by search engines, it expires after 30 days, and you can revoke it from the job at any time. From it they can watch the truck, message the driver, cancel before the truck is on scene, rate the service, print the receipt and pay online. They never see your internal notes, your driver's number, or anybody else's job.

Can I take card payments or send a receipt through it?

Receipts, yes: when a job is complete the customer's page becomes the receipt, with a print button, and the final price is recorded on the job. Card processing, no: you paste your own pay-online link (Stripe, Square, PayPal, whatever you use) and the customer pays there. We record that they opened it; the money never touches us, and neither do the fees.

Will it connect to the software I already have?

There is a REST API with keys you create yourself, signed webhooks for every job event, an OpenAPI document, and a CSV import. Anything with a webhook trigger and an HTTP step, such as Zapier, Make or n8n, can drive it without code. GoHighLevel connects directly for leads, appointments and texting from your own number.

What does it cost per user?

Nothing. The price is flat per site and published on the pricing page, users and drivers are unlimited, there is no setup fee and no contract, and you can cancel whenever you like. If you leave, your domain and your content go with you, every report exports to CSV, and every job can be pulled out through the API.

Will this replace my dispatch software?

For a small towing company doing retail and local commercial work, TowSitePros is meant to be the place every job lives. It does not do motor-club digital dispatch, impound and lien processing, or private-property patrol, and we will not pretend otherwise. If those run your business, keep the system that handles them and connect it through the API.

How quickly can I be up and running?

Answer a few questions about your company, your services and the towns you cover, and your website is generated from what you tell us - so you are looking at your own site as soon as you finish onboarding. Logging jobs, quoting them and sending tracking links works from the moment your account exists.

What comes with the subscription?

Your website and hosting on your own domain, an SSL certificate, the request form, the job record for both web and phone jobs, quotes and arrival times, the dispatch board, the customer tracking page, review requests, the operator dashboard, and email alerts when a customer reaches out. Unlimited users and drivers. No setup fee.

Can I use my own domain name?

Yes. You can start on a free subdomain of our platform and connect your own domain whenever you are ready. We give you the DNS steps and the SSL certificate is included. The domain stays yours: if you cancel, you take it and your content with you.

Do I need to be technical to run it?

No. There is nothing to install, nothing to host and nothing to update. The screens you work in every day - the dispatch board and the job page - are built for a phone first, because that is where dispatching actually happens.

Will my company show up when someone asks AI search for a tow?

That is the goal, and we will not promise a placement. Drivers increasingly ask an AI search tool instead of scrolling results, and those tools recommend businesses they can read: clear services, real service areas, hours and a phone number on a working website. Your site is structured so both search engines and AI search tools can read it. Nobody can guarantee a specific answer, but without a real website you are not in the running at all.

What happens to the jobs and customer data if I leave?

Your domain and your website content are yours and go with you. Ask us for your job records and we will get them to you. We do not hold a towing company's website or its work hostage to keep it subscribed.

The quickest answer is usually your own site on screen.
