Grosse Pointe is in Wayne County, Michigan, about 16 miles east of our shop at 7765 W Eight Mile Road in Detroit. Henderson Towing keeps a dispatcher on the phone around the clock, so a stalled car in Grosse Pointe gets help at any hour.
Street parking is common in the Grosse Pointes, and so are cold-morning dead batteries and locked doors near the Kercheval and Mack Avenue shopping districts. We bring jump starts, lockout help, tire changes and gas to the curb.
Jefferson Avenue, Mack Avenue and the village shopping streets are where most Grosse Pointe roadside calls begin, along with driveways of older homes where a car sits for days between drives. Cold mornings and long periods parked are the usual cause of dead batteries, and salted winter roads shorten tire life.
Call 313-837-7777 anytime, or use Send Location to share GPS coordinates with dispatch. Grosse Pointe is served along I-94, Jefferson Avenue and Mack Avenue, near Lake St. Clair, Jefferson Avenue, the Grosse Pointe waterfront. We cover the 48230 area.

Roadside Services We Bring to Grosse Pointe, MI
Battery jump starts
A dead battery is the most common roadside call in Grosse Pointe, especially after cold nights or when a car has sat for days. Our technician connects a professional jump pack, starts the engine and checks that it keeps running. If the battery will not hold a charge, we tell you so you can replace it instead of getting stranded again.
Car door lockouts
Keys locked in the car are a quick fix for our technicians. We open the door with professional tools that do not damage the lock or the paint, so you are back in the vehicle without a locksmith appointment.
Flat tire changes
We change a flat at the roadside using your inflated spare. If the spare is flat too, or the tire is damaged beyond a swap, we can tow the vehicle from Grosse Pointe to a tire shop of your choice.
Fuel and gas delivery
Ran out of gas? We bring enough fuel to get you to the nearest station. Tell dispatch whether the vehicle takes gas or diesel so the right fuel is on the truck.
Winch-outs and recovery
Vehicles that slide into a ditch, get stuck in snow or mud or end up off the pavement are recovered with winching and the right equipment, without damaging the vehicle. Tell dispatch what it is stuck in and how it sits.
