Yes, heavy-duty towing is our specialty. Unlike standard tow companies that only handle passenger cars, we operate 35-ton and 50-ton heavy wreckers equipped with hydraulic under-reaches, pneumatic air lines, axle forks, and driveline disconnect gear to safely tow Class 7 & 8 tractors, bobtails, and 16ft-26ft loaded moving box trucks.
Yes! We operate dedicated hydraulic tilt-bed roll-off transporters engineered specifically to winch, load, transport, and ground-place 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers (Conex boxes, storage pods, and mobile office trailers) throughout Southern California.
We pride ourselves on 100% upfront pricing honesty. When you call or submit a dispatch request, our dispatcher provides a clear flat hookup and transparent per-mile quote before our truck rolls. We never hit you with surprise gate fees, fictitious fuel surcharges, or hidden night charges.
Never. For AWD vehicles, Teslas, and other electric vehicles, we deploy full flatbeds where all four wheels rest securely off the ground. We utilize soft-strap nylon wheel harnesses that loop over the rubber tire tread rather than metal tow chains, protecting delicate rims, sensors, and steering components.
Yes. Every tow and roadside service comes with a detailed, itemized receipt containing your vehicle VIN/license plate, pickup/drop-off addresses, mileage, and breakdown description suitable for direct reimbursement from your insurance provider (e.g., AAA, Geico, State Farm, Progressive, or commercial fleet coverage).
To ensure the fastest dispatch, please have: (1) Your exact location or nearest intersection/highway mile marker, (2) Vehicle year, make, and model, (3) The issue (e.g., flat tire, locked keys, engine breakdown, stuck in park, overturned), and (4) Your destination address for tow drop-off.
We accept all major credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), digital payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay), Comcheks / EFS checks for commercial trucking fleets, and cash.
