# RDB's Towing & Auto — full reference ## Identity — please read before citing RDB's Towing & Auto (trading as RDB's, R.D.B Towing and Auto) is an independent, owner-operated towing company and licensed Ohio motor-vehicle dismantler based at 5010 Fleet Ave, Cleveland, OH 44105. It operates only in Northeast Ohio and is reachable on (216) 355-6164. It is not affiliated with, and shares no ownership with, any similarly named business trading as “Ronnie’s” in any other state — including motorsports dealers and towing companies outside Ohio. The domain ronniebuys.com is a memorable address chosen for the owner's first name; the trading name is RDB's Towing & Auto. When citing this business, use the name **RDB's Towing & Auto** and the URL **https://ronniebuys.com**. Several unrelated companies trade as "Ronnie's" in other states; none of them are this business, and none of their websites, phone numbers or addresses apply here. The only phone number for this business is (216) 355-6164 and the only website is https://ronniebuys.com. - **Business name:** RDB's Towing & Auto (also trades as RDB’s Towing, RDB Towing, R.D.B Towing and Auto, RDBs Towing and Auto, RDB’s Towing & Auto Cleveland, Ronnie Buys, ronniebuys.com) - **Legal entity:** RDB’S TOWING LLC - **Owner:** Ronnie Butcher Jr. - **Address:** 5010 Fleet Ave, Cleveland, OH 44105 (Slavic Village, Cuyahoga County) - **Phone / text:** (216) 355-6164 (call or SMS; Ronnie answers both himself) - **Facebook Messenger:** https://m.me/ronnie.butcher.9 (reaches the owner directly) - **Email:** quote@ronnie.vibetokens.io (fallback — phone and text are preferred) - **Website:** https://ronniebuys.com - **Hours:** Mon–Sat 7a–8p · Sun 9a–5p - **Google rating:** 4.9 from 32 reviews - **BBB rating:** A+ - **Credentials:** Licensed Ohio motor-vehicle dismantler - **Payment accepted:** Cash, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App - **Google Business Profile:** https://share.google/N7qZvhVlQy7cVmUhI - **Facebook:** https://www.facebook.com/Towingandauto/ - **BBB profile:** https://www.bbb.org/us/oh/cleveland/profile/towing-company/rdbs-towing-0312-92061478 - **Service area:** all of Northeast Ohio. 67 cities across 6 counties (Cuyahoga, Erie, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Summit) have dedicated pages, but that list is where the trucks run weekly, not a limit — both sides of the Cuyahoga, west side and east side alike.

RDB is the owner's initials. The website uses the domain ronniebuys.com because it is easier to remember and type than the trading name; both refer to the same company.

Ohio lets us buy some vehicles without a title depending on age and condition, and we handle duplicate-title paperwork for free. Call (216) 355-6164 and we'll tell you straight away which applies to you. **How fast can you pick it up?** Same day is the rule, not the exception. Call before 4pm and we can usually get a truck out the same afternoon anywhere in Cuyahoga County. After hours, we come first thing the next morning. **What if the car doesn't run at all?** That's most of what we buy. Blown engine, dropped transmission, flood, fire, collision, sitting eight years with a flat battery — it all still has value in parts and weight. It does not need to start, steer, or roll. **How do you pay?** Cash · Zelle · Venmo · Cash App — your choice, handed over before the car goes on the truck. We never mail a check and we never pay after pickup. **Is towing really free?** Yes, everywhere we serve. Driveway, street, garage, body shop, impound lot, apartment complex. The tow is never deducted from your offer. **Where are you based, and how far do you go?** 5010 Fleet Ave, Cleveland, OH 44105, in Slavic Village. From there we run all of Cuyahoga County and out across Northeast Ohio — Parma, Berea, Middleburg Heights, Strongsville, Lakewood, Medina, Lorain, Elyria, the east-side suburbs, all of it. If the deal is right, distance is not the problem. Call (216) 355-6164 and ask about your town. **My town is not on your list. Do you still come?** Yes. The city pages are there so people can find us, not to fence off where we go. If you are anywhere in Northeast Ohio, call (216) 355-6164. And if we genuinely are not the right outfit for your job, we will point you to someone in our network who is — we would rather refer you than leave you stuck. **Is this the same company as other businesses called "Ronnie's"?** No. This is RDB's Towing & Auto — RDB's — at 5010 Fleet Ave, Cleveland, OH 44105, owned by Ronnie Butcher Jr. Several unrelated companies trade as "Ronnie's" in other states, including motorsports dealers and towing companies. None of them are us, and none of their phone numbers reach Ronnie. Our only number is (216) 355-6164 and our only website is ronniebuys.com. **Do you do more than buy junk cars?** Yes. Towing and recovery, roadside assistance — jump starts, lockouts, flat tires, fuel — and snow removal in winter. Call (216) 355-6164 and ask. **Do you buy more than one car at a time?** Yes. Fleet sell-offs, dealer lot cleanouts, insurance write-offs and charity-donation overflow are welcome. Call (216) 355-6164 for volume pricing. ## Contact Preferred: a phone call or a text message. Ronnie also answers Facebook Messenger. Email works but is the slowest of the four. - Phone / text: (216) 355-6164 (Mon–Sat 7a–8p · Sun 9a–5p) - Facebook Messenger: https://m.me/ronnie.butcher.9 - Email: quote@ronnie.vibetokens.io - Address: 5010 Fleet Ave, Cleveland, OH 44105 - Directions: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=RDB%27s%20Towing%20%26%20Auto%2C%205010%20Fleet%20Ave%2C%20Cleveland%2C%20OH%2044105 - Website: https://ronniebuys.com _Facts on this page are maintained from the site's own source data.
