Stuck on the Road?We're Less Than 25 Minutes Away

Your towing cost depends on several factors: (1) Base hook-up fee of $75 to dispatch our truck, (2) Distance towed at $8/mile for the actual tow, (3) Dead miles at $2/mile (our travel to reach you), (4) Time of service - standard rates during business hours, with additional charges for after-hours or rush situations, and (5) Equipment needed - flatbed service adds $45, and special situations like underground garages may require a wrecker with dollies, or electric vehicles that need dollies for safe transport. We provide an estimated price based on the information you give us, but sometimes we discover additional needs when we arrive (like tight garage spaces or special equipment requirements). We're completely honest and transparent - every extra service has a fixed price that we'll explain before performing the work. Most local tows within San Diego range from $100-$200 depending on these factors.
