Titan Tow & Repair covers Union Star, MO 24 hours a day from our yard in Liberty, Missouri, running out via I-29 north to St. Joseph, then US-169 north. We tow heavy, medium and light duty in Union Star, handle winch-outs and recovery, and repair many trucks at the roadside instead of towing them. Call and we will give you an honest arrival time for where you are sitting.
What we run into in Union Star
Union Star is in north-west DeKalb County, right on the Andrew County border, and it sits along the Third Fork Platte River. A post office has operated here since 1863, and the town was most likely named for the pro-Union sympathies of many residents during the Civil War. US-169 is the road that matters: it runs through town and links Union Star with St. Joseph and with Exit 50 on I-29, the town's route to the interstate. Savannah lies to the west, Maysville to the south-east and King City to the north-east. With the river alongside town, a car or truck off the pavement there could be resting on a soft riverbank, so a winch-out comes before any tow. In town, the Union Star R-II schools give dispatch a clear reference point.
Tell dispatch where you are on US-169 relative to town, north of Union Star or south toward St. Joseph, and roughly how far out you are. If you have gone off the road near the Third Fork Platte River, say so, because water or a soft bank beside the vehicle changes the recovery plan.

Towing in Union Star — common questions
Which I-29 exit leads to US-169 and Union Star?
Exit 50. Union Star sits out on US-169 in north-west DeKalb County, and Titan Tow & Repair's wreckers reach it by coming up I-29 from Kansas City through St. Joseph and leaving the interstate at that exit. If you are broken down between the exit and town, tell dispatch which one you are nearer and your direction of travel. On US-169 north of Union Star, give the last crossroad you passed instead, and say what you are driving and whether it is loaded.
Can your service truck work on a tractor stopped on US-169 at Union Star?
Yes, for many faults. Titan Tow & Repair's mobile service truck handles tires, air leaks, lights, belts and other breakdowns at the roadside on US-169 through Union Star, and in the town itself. Tell dispatch what the truck did before it stopped, which warning lights are on and whether it still builds air. If the fault needs a lift or major parts, a heavy wrecker takes the tractor, with its trailer or without, to the garage you choose in St. Joseph or anywhere else.
