I had my 1968 MGB towed by Closeby Towing. Daniel was friendly, professional and the price was reasonable. Highly recommend.

Common Towing Situations
Why Poway Drivers Call CloseBy
From overheated engines on SR-67's steep grades to fender-benders along Poway Road during rush hour, breakdowns don't wait for a convenient time. Dead batteries at Poway Town Center, flat tires on the way to Lake Poway, or vehicles stuck on steep ranch driveways — these are the calls we handle every day. CloseBy Towing knows Poway's roads inside and out, and we respond fast.
SR-67 Breakdowns
Steep grades and winding curves cause overheating and mechanical failures — especially during summer. We patrol this corridor daily.
Poway Road Accidents
Poway Road handles heavy commuter traffic between I-15 and SR-67. Collisions near Community Park and Town Center keep us busy.
Dead Batteries
Left your lights on at Poway Town Center or Old Poway Park? We provide fast jump starts — or a tow if the battery is beyond help.
Steep Ranch Driveways
Poway's rural properties have steep, unpaved driveways. Vehicles slide, get stuck, or lose traction — our winch-out service handles it.
Neighborhood Coverage
Every Corner of Poway
Old Poway Park & Heritage District
15–22 minMidland Rd, Aubrey St, Temple St, Nelson Ln
The soul of Poway. A vintage steam train chugs past the heritage museum, Saturday farmers markets pack the parking lot, and families fill the boardwalk for seasonal festivals. Lockouts and dead batteries are the most common calls here — we navigate the narrow park roads and residential overflow parking with ease.
Lake Poway & Blue Sky Reserve
22–30 minLake Poway Rd, Espola Rd, Blue Sky Trail
San Diego's beloved day-use reservoir surrounded by 60 acres of oak woodland and chaparral. Hikers, fishermen, and boaters call when vehicles overheat on the steep climb to the parking lot or won't start after a long trail day. Our trucks handle the narrow, winding access road year-round.
Twin Peaks & South Poway Estates
20–28 minTwin Peaks Rd, Old Coach Rd, Stoneridge Country Club
Poway's most prestigious enclave. Gated communities with steep hillside driveways, estate lots measured in acres, and switchback roads that test any vehicle's brakes. Our winch-equipped flatbeds specialize in the 12–18% grades that define this hilltop community — no driveway is too steep.
Poway Road Corridor
12–18 minPoway Rd, Community Rd, Garden Rd, Kirkham Way
Poway's commercial spine running east-west from I-15 to the heart of town. Auto dealerships, strip malls, restaurants, and the Poway Unified School District offices generate steady towing demand. Morning and evening rush-hour breakdowns along this 4-mile stretch are our bread and butter.
Rancho Arbolitos & North Poway
25–35 minEspola Rd, Titan Way, Pomerado Rd (north section)
Where suburban Poway meets open country. Horse properties, citrus groves, and semi-rural lots line the roads north of Lake Poway Road. Unpaved shoulders and gravel driveways require careful positioning — our drivers carry extra ground mats to protect your property during recovery.
Scripps Poway Parkway & Business Parks
15–20 minScripps Poway Pkwy, Pomerado Rd (south), Daniels Way
Poway's tech and business corridor along the southern edge. Corporate campuses, industrial parks, and the connection to Scripps Ranch generate weekday commuter breakdowns and fleet towing calls. Quick freeway access via I-15 means fast response to this busy zone.
Highway Response
Poway's Road Corridors
I-15
Interstate 15
Poway's primary freeway lifeline along the western edge. The Poway Road and Rancho Bernardo Road interchanges are high-traffic zones where commuter breakdowns, fender-benders, and overheated engines happen daily. We're positioned to reach any I-15 incident near Poway within 15 minutes.
SR-67
State Route 67
The two-lane highway running through Poway's eastern hills toward Ramona and the backcountry. Winding grades, limited shoulders, and wildlife crossings make SR-67 one of East County's most challenging roads. Our trucks carry full safety lighting for this fast-moving, narrow corridor.
SPP
Scripps Poway Parkway
The 6-mile arterial connecting I-15 to eastern Poway. Rush-hour congestion, construction zones, and the steep descent past Sycamore Canyon generate frequent calls. This is Poway's busiest non-freeway road — and one of our most-traveled response routes.

Common Questions
Poway Towing FAQ
How fast can you get to Lake Poway or Blue Sky Reserve?
We typically arrive at Lake Poway within 22–30 minutes. The steep, winding access road to the lake parking lot is familiar territory for our drivers. For Blue Sky Ecological Reserve trailhead, expect 20–28 minutes. We carry jump-start kits and spare-air canisters for the most common post-hike vehicle issues.
Do you handle the steep hills near Twin Peaks?
Absolutely. Twin Peaks and South Poway have some of the steepest residential grades in North County — 12% to 18% inclines. Our winch-equipped flatbeds are built for exactly this terrain. We secure vehicles on hillside driveways and switchback roads without any risk of rollback or property damage.
Can you reach Poway's rural and ranch properties?
Yes — Poway's unique 'City in the Country' character includes horse properties, citrus groves, and semi-rural lots with unpaved driveways and gravel access roads. Our trucks carry ground protection mats to prevent driveway damage. We've recovered vehicles from private dirt roads, ranch gates, and off-road situations throughout Poway.
How much does towing cost in Poway?
We provide upfront pricing before dispatch — no surprises. Standard Poway tows start at competitive rates based on distance and vehicle type. Rural and hillside recoveries may include a small terrain surcharge. You'll know your exact price before we send a truck. Military and first-responder discounts available.
Do you service I-15 and SR-67 breakdowns near Poway?
I-15 along Poway's western edge and SR-67 through the eastern hills are two of our most-covered corridors. We respond to freeway breakdowns, accidents, and flat tires within 15 minutes on I-15 and 20 minutes on SR-67. We carry full LED safety lighting and coordinate with CHP when needed.
What about Old Poway Park events and the farmers market?
We regularly service Old Poway Park, especially during the Saturday farmers market, holiday festivals, and community events. Our drivers know the park layout, the narrow roads around the heritage train depot, and the residential overflow parking areas. We can tow without disrupting event traffic.
