About The Association Of Professional Towers Of Ohio
The Association of Professional Towers of Ohio (APTO) was created to directly serve the interests of towing and recovery operators in the state of Ohio. For far too long, the focus has solely been on towing companies, not those who work in the trenches.

- State government and public policy affecting the towing and recovery industry
- Providing an effective and modern communications strategy by accurately informing members of industry developments in a timely fashion
- Developing cooperative business opportunities and strategies to help members’ bottom lines and offer beneficial shared services
- Furthering safety and professionalism in the Ohio towing industry through nationally recognized training and seminars
- Combating the negative image of ‘Predatory Towing’ that is harmful to the industry
