Emergency Towing FAQ
How fast can you reach me in an emergency?
Our average emergency response time in San Diego is 20-35 minutes. For highway breakdowns on I-5, I-8, I-15, or SR-163, we often arrive faster due to our strategic positioning. When you call, we dispatch the nearest available truck immediately and give you an accurate ETA.
What should I do while waiting for the tow truck?
First, ensure your safety: turn on hazard lights, move to a safe location if possible (behind guardrails on highways), and stay visible. Keep your phone charged and accessible. If you're on a busy highway, stay in your vehicle with seatbelt fastened until we arrive. Our dispatcher will keep you updated on the truck's location.
Do you charge extra for emergency or late-night calls?
We maintain transparent, competitive pricing around the clock. While some situations (like highway recoveries or complex extractions) may cost more due to equipment needs, we don't add arbitrary 'emergency fees.' You'll know the price before we dispatch.
Can you help with highway breakdowns?
Absolutely. We regularly assist drivers on I-5, I-8, I-15, SR-163, and all San Diego County highways. Our drivers are trained for highway safety protocols and carry proper equipment for shoulder extractions. We coordinate with CHP when needed.
What if I'm not sure where I am?
No problem. We can help you identify your location using your phone's GPS, nearby mile markers, exit numbers, or landmarks. Our dispatchers are familiar with San Diego and can often pinpoint your location from a brief description.
Do you provide emergency towing for all vehicle types?
Yes. Our emergency fleet includes flatbeds for all-wheel-drive vehicles, luxury cars, and lowered vehicles, plus wheel-lift trucks for standard vehicles and tight spaces. Whether you drive a compact car, SUV, truck, or motorcycle, we can help.
