In the last few years, I have noticed and uptick in “Roadside Assistance” services. That is not a terrible thing if they are upfront about the “service” they provide. Sadly, as is true with any other type of upheaval we experience, there are folks who will take advantage of us. We all know the big… Continue reading Beware of Scammers
What a Year!
As we have worked our way through the challenges that 2023 has presented, we’ve also had opportunities to learn new things. This year, we got the chance to learn about towing electric vehicles. It’s amazing how different each electric vehicle is. We were given the opportunity to move three different Tesla cars, each one was different from the… Continue reading What a Year!
Atomic Towing 2023
It’s been a while since we’ve posted anything new, and while a lot has changed (for all of us), much has stayed the same. It’s been an interesting couple of years, but we’re still here and still towing in and around Tucson.

Sheds – Hauling and Placing
It has been a while since I’ve shared with you. I apologize, but I hope that 2020 has started off well for you. We’ve had a busy few months and a lot of that has involved moving sheds, so I thought I’d share. It can be a pretty big job, especially if it’s a large… Continue reading Sheds – Hauling and Placing
Vapor Lock
This summer has highlighted a common issue with vehicles that most people are unaware of possibly being a problem. Vapor lock.

Fire, Desert, & the 4th of July
For those who may be new to the desert, the monsoon season officially started on June 15th. We haven’t had any actual rain from it, though. That means our lovely desert is a bit on the dry side. At last count, I think we have 19 fires currently making their way across our state. One… Continue reading Fire, Desert, & the 4th of July
Summer, the Road, & Tires
We are getting ready to head into summer here in the Old Pueblo. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t mind the delay in triple digit weather. Unfortunately, they are here. With the heat comes challenges that we may not think about until it’s too late. Prime example: your tires. We know the temps… Continue reading Summer, the Road, & Tires
What should you do…?
Yesterday I was in an office on Broadway Blvd. when blaring sirens on the street outside drew my attention. There was a firetruck travelling east in the left-hand lane that was trying to get through traffic. Behind the firetruck, everyone had pulled to the right to allow the truck to pass. In front of the… Continue reading What should you do…?
New Law Concerning Device Use While Driving
Remember when Tucson City Council passed an ordinance banning the use of cell phones while driving in 2017? Still seeing so many on their cell phones? Initially, the ordinance was instituted as a secondary offense, meaning law enforcement would need a reason that is a primary offense in order to issue a ticket. As of… Continue reading New Law Concerning Device Use While Driving

We know the Arizona desert can be brutal, but did you know that every year more than 36 children are lost from being left in a hot car. According to kidsandcars.org, in 2018, over 50 children lost their lives between February and September. Two of those children were in Arizona and in March, not the… Continue reading Did you know…
