Owner-led · Miami-rooted

A Miami company with a name behind it.

Midtown Towing began as a family business, grew through resolve, and continues today under the hands-on leadership of owner Michael Tur.

The difference is local

Visible leadership. Verifiable roots.

Midtown is an active Miami company with two dispatch locations, a public corporate record, and an owner whose responsibilities extend from daily operations to safety and regulatory compliance.

Meet the owner

Michael Tur

The person accountable for the business is not hidden behind a call center. Michael Tur is publicly identified as Midtown Towing's owner and operator.

Michael's role covers overall business oversight, financial and budget controls, personnel supervision, and compliance with safety and regulatory requirements. His background includes management experience with UPS and State Farm and a bachelor's degree in Supervision and Management from Miami Dade College.

He also serves as a councilman in the Village of Virginia Gardens. That public role is separate from Midtown, but it makes his commitment to transparency, fiscal responsibility, and ethical governance a matter of public record.

The Midtown story

One truck became a Miami-Dade operation.

The business has changed with Miami. The family-rooted purpose has not: show up prepared and move difficult situations forward.

1987

One truck and a dream

Lauraine and Howard Lichtman begin the story.

A published family history remembers Midtown starting with a single truck. Florida records show the company was incorporated on February 11, 1987.

1997–2007

Resolve becomes growth

Lauraine carries the company forward.

After co-founder Howard's death, Lauraine continued the family business. Within a decade, the operation had grown to 19 trucks and three locations.

Today

Michael Tur leads the next chapter.

Current, not borrowed

Start with details

Location, vehicle, condition, access, and destination shape the response.

Match the equipment

The truck and loading approach should fit the vehicle and visible conditions.

Say what varies
