Access Holdings Completes Majority Investment in Reliable Towing

• Access enters towing and roadside services, an attractive, resilient, and underpenetrated market within transportation infrastructure
  
  
• Reliable Towing brings the scale, reputation, and operating foundation to build a leading regional platform
  
  
• Access will accelerate the next phase of growth, investing in technology, operations, and strategic acquisitions

BALTIMORE, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Access Holdings Management Company, LLC ("Access Holdings" or "Access"), a next-generation alternative asset manager providing investors with access to the lower-middle market, today announced a controlling investment in Reliable Towing Holdings Ltd. ("Reliable Towing"), a towing, recovery, and roadside services platform based in the Pacific Northwest.

The acquisition marks Access' second investment in essential transportation services infrastructure, since the exit of American Student Transportation Partners to CVC DIF in 2025, CVC's infrastructure division, and establishes Reliable Towing as the foundation of a platform Access plans to modernize, institutionalize, and scale.

Access identified towing as a fragmented, demand-resilient segment of transportation infrastructure that has been largely overlooked by institutional capital. The sector reaches customers in unplanned and often urgent situations, when a vehicle breaks down, a commercial fleet is immobilized mid-route, or a roadside emergency calls for an immediate response.

Reliable Towing brings more than 50 years of experience delivering fleet services, emergency recovery, towing, roadside assistance, and impound management to commercial fleets, municipalities, and the communities they serve, coordinated through a network of locally recognized operators. This structure allows the Company to coordinate coverage across regions and vehicle types while preserving the local reputation of each operator.

The towing industry remains highly fragmented, with demand supported by aging vehicle fleets, growing freight and delivery volumes, increasing vehicle complexity, and severe-weather events that drive the need for emergency response. Strong municipal relationships, specialized equipment, and the ability to respond safely and quickly create significant barriers to entry, positioning operators like Reliable Towing as essential infrastructure partners for the fleets, municipalities, and first responders that depend on them.

"Reliable is true to its namesake: It's built a strong municipal base and a reputation for excellence across operations and service to become a leader in the Pacific Northwest," said Kevin McAllister, Founder & Managing Partner at Access Holdings. "We're thrilled to back this team and build upon 50 years of community support to turn Reliable into a regionally scaled, data-driven platform, delivering quality service from the first call."

Access partnered with Paul Parhar, Founder of Collaborative Capital Management, who has more than two decades of experience and previously invested in Reliable Towing. As its Independent Sponsor, Parhar helped establish Reliable Towing as a leading towing and fleet services operator in the Pacific Northwest.

"We built Reliable by bringing together local operators who are the best at what they do and trusted in the communities they serve," said Paul Parhar, Chairman of Reliable Towing. "This next chapter is about investing in our operators, safety, equipment, processes, and leading technology so we can become the preferred service provider for municipalities and commercial fleets throughout the Pacific Northwest, without ever losing sight of the responsive, community-focused service that got us here."

With Access' support, Reliable Towing plans to expand its geographic footprint and service capabilities through organic growth, the continued addition of trusted local operators, as well as the development of data architecture that drives operational excellence using the latest in modern technology.
