What do homeowners ask about Emergency Towing?
How much does an emergency tow cost in San Diego?
Cost comes down to the truck the job needs, the tow distance, and time on scene. Dispatch gives you the number before the driver rolls, so ask what it covers. Heavy-duty and long-distance are quoted separately in writing. Check the quote against the invoice before you pay.
How fast can someone get to me?
That depends on where you are and what is on the road at that moment. Coastal and central San Diego is usually quicker to reach than East County, the backcountry, or the Pendleton corridor. Dispatch tells you which operator is taking the job, and that operator gives you the arrival estimate for your exact spot.
Will you come to the freeway?
Yes. I-5, I-15, I-8, I-805, 52, 78, 56, 163 - the operators we work with cover every San Diego freeway. CHP-directed freeway tows go through the mandatory on-duty rotation. For private calls on freeway shoulders, we dispatch an operator directly.
What do I do while I wait?
If you are on the freeway, stay in the vehicle with seatbelts on and hazards flashing unless there is fire or smoke. If you are off the road in a safe spot, step away from the vehicle. Do not try to change a tire on the shoulder of I-5 or I-15. Call us, stay put, and we'll handle it.
Do you accept insurance or motor club dispatches?
Yes - AAA, Allstate, Geico, USAA, State Farm, and the major motor clubs all route calls through us in San Diego County. If you have roadside coverage, call your insurer first so they cover the tow. If you need help direct, call us and we bill you flat rate.
