Titan Tow & Repair covers Effingham, KS 24 hours a day from our yard in Liberty, Missouri, running out via Route 92 west to Leavenworth, US-73 north to Atchison, then west.

Call and we will give you an honest arrival time for where you are sitting.
What we run into in Effingham
Effingham is a small city in Benton Township, in the farm country west of Atchison and east of Holton across the Jackson County line. K-9 and US-159 run together into town and part company just east of it, US-159 heads north to Effingham from its junction on US-59, and K-116 connects by way of Edwards Road. It is a railroad town: it grew once the Central Branch Union Pacific was built through the neighborhood, was a thriving village by the 1880s, and takes its name from Effingham H. Nichols, an early promoter of that line. The Atchison County USD 377 schools are in town, Muscotah's pupils among them. Muscotah lies to the west, Huron to the north and Lancaster to the north-east.
Give us the road, K-9, US-159 or the county road on the nearest sign, and your direction from Effingham. Naming the two towns you are between, from Muscotah, Huron, Lancaster and Atchison, narrows it down, and a dropped pin from your phone helps even more.

Towing in Effingham — common questions
My truck quit on a dark county road outside Effingham. What should I do while I wait?
Get it as far off the road as you safely can, turn on the hazards and set your triangles, then call Titan Tow & Repair on (816) 888-8732; dispatch is answered 24 hours a day. Stay out of the roadway and, if there is a safe place to stand, out of the cab too. Tell us the nearest town, the direction you drove out of Effingham and whether the ground beside you is soft, because a wheel that drops off the edge of a county road can sink.
Can a school bus that breaks down on a USD 377 route near Effingham be fixed where it stops?
Often, yes: many air, tire and electrical faults can be put right by Titan Tow & Repair's mobile service truck where the bus has stopped, at any hour, and when the fault needs a shop, a heavy wrecker takes the bus wherever the district wants it. Tell dispatch the bus length, whether it is empty, and exactly where it is: in the school lot, on a town street or out on a county road. We will say before we roll whether it sounds like a roadside fix or a tow.
