Our story

About Kelly Towing — Scranton PA Towing Company Since 1949

Kelly Motors has been part of this community since 1949. Now we're proud to bring that same trusted name to towing.

From Kelly Motors to Kelly Towing — the same family, the same values.

Kelly Motors has served Scranton, PA since 1949. For over 75 years, this community has known the Kelly name — on South Main Avenue, in the shop, at the dealership. That's not something you build overnight, and it's not something we take lightly.

We are now proud to offer towing services in Scranton under that same name. When you call Kelly Towing, you're not calling a stranger or a national chain. You're calling a business that has been woven into the fabric of this city for generations.

A name in Scranton you know. A service you can trust. That's the promise we make — and the reputation we've already spent 75 years earning.

Our towing operation brings the same professionalism, honesty, and community commitment that Kelly Motors is known for. Whether you need a flatbed at 2am or a planned vehicle transport across the valley, you'll get the Kelly standard — every time.
