Broken down on US 6 or US 169 near Adel
The March 15, 2026 blizzard closed I-80 from mile 27 to mile 121, and the De Soto exit sat inside that stretch. When I-80 shuts like that, stay in town and call us from there.
On US 6 or US 169 outside town, pull as far onto the shoulder as you safely can. Switch on the hazards and stay buckled in; a two-lane highway is no place to stand beside the car. Read the nearest crossroad sign and note which way you were heading. After a crash, or with the car partly in a lane, dial 911 first.
Adel snow parking rules and plow order
Adel city code 69.10 keeps every vehicle off public streets, alleys and city lots while snow or freezing rain is falling or drifting. The rule holds for 24 hours after it stops. The fine is $25, and the car may be towed at the owner's expense. If you must park downtown in a snow event, the city asks you to use the Public Safety Building lot or the city lot north of City Hall.
Plows clear downtown and Greene Street first, then the designated snow routes. The city aims to have every paved street plowed within 24 hours after a storm ends. A car the city tows under code 69.10 comes back through the city, not through us.
Tow truck prices in Adel
Towing in Adel starts from $124, from a downtown curb or a US 169 shoulder. A jump start in a downtown lot is from $85, and pulling a car out of a ditch on US 6 or US 169 is from $129. Lockouts start from $85 and spare-tire changes from $98.
A tow from Adel to a shop in the Des Moines metro covers more miles than one inside town, and the quote reflects that. Call (515) 585-8351 for a breakdown, a slide-off or a dead battery. We give you the price and timing first, then send a tow truck or roadside technician.
Adel questions
What does a tow in Adel cost?
A tow in Adel starts from $124, which covers the hook-up and the first stretch of road. A longer haul to a metro shop, winching or crash work raises the total. You hear the full price on the call, and only after that do we send a tow truck to the shop, home or dealer you pick.
Is there a 24 hour tow truck near Adel?
Yes, call (515) 585-8351 at any hour; we answer Adel calls 24/7. Tell us US 6, US 169 or your downtown street and the nearest crossroad. We quote the tow and the timing on that call, then send a truck to take the car where you choose.
Where can I park in downtown Adel when it snows?
Use the Public Safety Building lot or the city lot north of City Hall, the two the city names for snow events. Code 69.10 keeps Adel cars off streets and alleys while snow falls or drifts and for 24 hours after. If the car will not start in one of those lots, we can come and jump it.
What should I do if my car dies on US 169 near Adel?
Pull fully onto the shoulder, turn on the hazards and stay buckled in. Dial 911 first if the car sits in a lane or anyone is hurt. Otherwise call (515) 585-8351 with the crossroad and your direction, and we quote a tow or a tire change for that spot near Adel.
How fast does Adel plow after a snowstorm?
Adel aims to plow every paved street within 24 hours after a storm ends. Crews clear downtown and Greene Street first, then the designated snow routes. If you slid off an Adel road before the plow came through, a winch-out starts from $129, quoted on the call.
