In detail
Towing is used when the vehicle can no longer be driven safely: mechanical failure, accident, locked wheels, or manufacturer instructions (automatic gearbox, EV). SkyRoute Auto uses approved equipment and appropriate strapping.
We load from a car park, street, rest area (after approved evacuation) or business park, then drop at a garage, body shop, home or an agreed point in France / Switzerland.
For towing in Annemasse , the Genevois or Geneva , the quality of the information (access, ground clearance, damage) determines the choice of flatbed / configuration.
Pricing: distance, time of day, access and vehicle type. Quote before departure as soon as the details are known.

Car towing in the Genevois and in Switzerland
Secure towing for hatchbacks, saloons, SUVs, light vans and more, using approved car transporters. The Annemasse base (74 bis Route d’Étrembières) puts car towing within reach of the French Genevois, Geneva , Nyon and, depending on the job, Lausanne. We confirm the equipment (flatbed, motorcycle strapping, 4x4, van height) before leaving.
Non-drivable or accident-damaged vehicle · Approved transporters · Careful strapping (including prestige cars) · To a garage, home or chosen destination. These points do not replace a quote : distance, time of day, access and vehicle type remain the price drivers. See our pricing page.
Motorway: approved evacuation first, then SkyRoute car towing for the follow-on. Town / car park: direct call 06 82 96 40 84. Independent provider: no AXA, MACIF, TCS or other network — see /assurances/.
Who attends, and from where
SkyRoute Auto is an independent breakdown, towing and transport provider, based at 74 bis Route d’Étrembières, 74100 Annemasse , France. For car towing , the call comes through on a local number (06 82 96 40 84): not a national switchboard promising “20 minutes anywhere in France”. The slot we give depends on traffic, weather, access (surface, underground, snow) and the distance from Annemasse .
We remain outside insurers’ official networks. You can appoint us for car towing , obtain an invoice, then submit the file to your roadside assistance: any reimbursement depends solely on your policy. Keep the case number if one already exists.
On a motorway or expressway, the initial recovery remains the approved circuit (SOS phone or 112, dispatch may be via sos-auto-moto.fr). SkyRoute Auto then handles repatriation or transport to a garage, home or Switzerland — see our motorway procedure . In town, a car park or a residence, you call us directly.
What we need for a useful quote
To handle car towing without a second trip: exact address (street, car park, floor, badge / intercom), make and model, manual or automatic gearbox, whether the vehicle still rolls, the destination you want, photos of the access and of the vehicle. Mention a high-voltage pack (hybrid / electric), a motorcycle, a van or a prestige car: the equipment is not the same.
Hours: 24/7 subject to availability, including weekends and bank holidays. Life-threatening emergency or a blocked carriageway: prefer a phone call. Planned transport: online quote . Base rates inc. VAT (daytime, straightforward access, Genevois): car breakdown recovery 99 € – 139 €, car towing 169 € – 209 € — more distant communes, Switzerland, night work and difficult access are surcharged; see our pricing page.
