About TowLab

Built by towing operators, for towing operators.

TowLab was created by the team behind Onyx Auto Towing, a Fairfax, Virginia towing company. It was built to run our own dispatch, driver pay, and job paperwork — and it has run our operation every day since.

The team behind TowLab

TowLab was founded by Patrick Bazan, owner of Onyx Auto Towing in Fairfax, Virginia. Built from his firsthand experience running a towing company, TowLab helps operators dispatch drivers, track jobs, and manage daily operations—with practical tools shaped by real needs in the field.

Every feature in the platform began as a problem we had to solve in our own operation.

What TowLab handles.

Built from real towing operations.

TowLab did not begin as a software product. It began as the system our own company needed. Running Onyx Auto Towing in Fairfax, Virginia, we required a dispatch board that kept pace with incoming calls, driver pay that calculated itself, and storage billing that was accurate the first time.

Paper boards were unreliable, spreadsheets went stale, and the larger fleet platforms were priced and structured for a different kind of operation. So we built the tools we needed ourselves — dispatch board, driver pay, sales summary, impound lot, live map, customer records — one module at a time, while continuing to run calls.

That system became TowLab. It still runs our operation today, and it works the same way for every company that uses it: jobs dispatched, drivers paid, revenue accounted for. Towing companies across the country now operate on it as well.

Built by an operating company

We run a towing company on the same platform we provide. Nothing reaches a customer until it has proven itself in our own daily operations.

Designed for the dispatcher and the driver

Every feature has to make a real tow faster to dispatch or simpler to close. If it does not improve the work, it does not ship.

Every feature, every plan

Pricing follows your fleet size — $139 a month for 1 to 5 trucks, $249 for 6 to 10, $399 for 11 to 20. No module is held back for an upgrade: every feature is included from the first day of your trial.

Built in the field. Built for towing.
