National City packs more automotive activity per square mile than almost anywhere in San Diego County. The Mile of Cars on National City Boulevard — 32 dealerships between 18th and 33rd Streets — generates constant towing demand: inventory transports, customer breakdowns, trade-in shuffles, and auction deliveries.
But it's not just the dealerships. Highland Avenue is the cultural heartbeat — the county's densest Filipino-American business corridor, buzzing with restaurants, bakeries, and shops. Westfield Plaza Bonita draws shoppers from across the South Bay. And the Harbor District along San Diego Bay adds marina traffic, waterfront events, and Bayshore Bikeway visitors.
Three freeways converge here — I-5 running north-south, I-805 merging just to the north, and SR-54 connecting east to Spring Valley. When one jams, National City feels it. Our trucks are staged inside the city so we don't get caught in the same traffic.
Six dispatch zones with dedicated response times. Our drivers don't GPS their way around — they grew up here.
National City Blvd, between 18th & 33rd St
One of California's oldest and largest auto dealer concentrations — 32 dealerships lining a single boulevard. Dead batteries from test drives, inventory transports between lots, and customer breakdowns keep our trucks busy here daily.
Highland Ave, 8th St to 30th St
National City's cultural backbone. Filipino restaurants, bakeries, and shops line this avenue — the highest Filipino-American business concentration in the county. Tight parallel parking means door dings and lockouts are part of the daily rhythm.
Plaza Bonita Rd, Sweetwater Rd
The South Bay's go-to shopping destination draws thousands daily. Our drivers know every parking structure entrance, loading dock, and access road. Dead batteries and fender benders in the lots are our bread and butter.
Tidelands Ave, Bay Marina Dr, Pepper Park
National City's waterfront along San Diego Bay. Marina slips, Pepper Park, and the Bayshore Bikeway. Waterfront parking lots and narrow marina roads require careful maneuvering — our flatbed drivers are trained for it.
8th St, Roosevelt Ave, A Ave, B Ave
The original heart of the city — historic bungalows, tree-lined streets, and community parks. Narrow residential streets and tight driveways are no obstacle for our recovery equipment.
Sweetwater Rd, Euclid Ave, Palm Ave
Southern National City where the Sweetwater River meets the bay. Close to the Chula Vista border with quick access to SR-54. Shopping plazas, schools, and the Sweetwater Town & Country center.
The Pacific Coast corridor cuts straight through National City. Exits at Civic Center Dr, 8th Street, Plaza Blvd, and Bay Marina Dr are our highest-volume dispatch points. The I-5/I-805 merge just north of NC is one of the region's most accident-prone interchanges.
Connects National City to Spring Valley and the East County. The SR-54/I-805 interchange at the city's southeast corner sees heavy commuter traffic and frequent breakdowns during rush hour.
National City's main north-south commercial street parallel to I-5. Runs from the trolley station area all the way south to Sweetwater. Heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic means fender benders and lockouts are a constant.
Mile of Cars dealership transports, auction vehicle moves, and lot management towing. We work with 20+ NC dealers.
🛣️I-5 shoulder breakdowns, I-805 merge accidents, and SR-54 commuter incidents. CHP-coordinated rapid response.
🅿️Plaza Bonita, Sweetwater Town & Country, and strip mall lots. Jump starts, lockouts, and minor collision tows.
🚛Lowered imports, luxury vehicles, and classic cars. Damage-free flatbed loading for the South Bay car enthusiast community.
🔑Keys locked in your car on Highland Ave, at the marina, or at Plaza Bonita? Non-destructive entry in minutes.
⛽Ran empty on Sweetwater Road? Flat tire near the trolley station? We bring fuel or swap your spare on-site.
Neighboring communities we reach in minutes.
Our average response to National City is 15 minutes. We stage trucks near the I-5/Plaza Blvd interchange, giving us immediate access to Mile of Cars, Highland Avenue, Plaza Bonita, and the Harbor District. During peak hours, the I-5/I-805 merge can slow outside responders — but we're already inside NC.
Yes — we're a preferred towing provider for over 20 dealerships on National City Boulevard. We handle new inventory transports between lots, customer vehicle towing, trade-in moves, and auction vehicle delivery. Our flatbed trucks ensure zero-damage transport for new and luxury inventory.
Absolutely. Our trucks fit inside Westfield Plaza Bonita's multi-level parking garage. We handle dead batteries, lockouts, and collision tows from the mall daily — including the tight corners of the covered parking levels.
Local towing within National City starts at $95 with $5 per additional mile. Jump starts and lockouts start at $65. We always give you the exact price before dispatching — no hidden fees. Dealership accounts get volume pricing.
Yes — the I-5/I-805 merge just north of National City is one of San Diego's busiest and most accident-prone interchanges. We coordinate with CHP for shoulder recoveries, disabled vehicle removal, and accident towing in this area multiple times per week.
National City has two trolley stations — 8th Street and 24th Street — on the Blue Line. If your car needs to stay at the shop, you can hop on the trolley to get home. We can tow your vehicle to a shop near either station if that helps.
Mile of Cars to the Marina — one call and we're on our way.
