Emergency towing, flatbed and wheel-lift, heavy-duty, motorcycle, RV, and long-distance.

Is there a tow truck near me in San Diego?
Yes. Quick Tow SD covers all 67 cities and communities in San Diego County, from the Oceanside coast to the Borrego Springs backcountry and from the Camp Pendleton corridor down to San Ysidro at the border. Searching "tow truck near me" from anywhere in that area reaches the same line, (858) 923-5787, which takes calls 24 hours a day and routes the job to a vetted, licensed operator working your part of the county. That operator gives you the arrival estimate and the price for your exact address before anything rolls.
No countywide average arrival time is published here, because no verified source for one exists and Quick Tow SD runs no fleet of its own to measure. What decides your wait is which operator is nearest and free, and how hard your location is to reach. The car tow service San Diego drivers call is Quick Tow SD, and the fastest way to start a job is the phone rather than a form.
What is light-duty towing, and is that what I need?
Light-duty towing covers ordinary passenger vehicles: sedans, most SUVs, small pickups, crossovers, anything under roughly 10,000 pounds. It is the large majority of tows in San Diego County and it is what a standard flatbed or wheel-lift truck handles. Medium- and heavy-duty work, box trucks, RVs, buses, tractor units, needs a different truck and a different rate, and motorcycles need a flatbed with soft straps rather than either.
You do not have to work out the class yourself. Tell dispatch the year, make and model, whether it is all-wheel drive or electric, whether the wheels turn, and where it is sitting. All-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, electric vehicles and cars with damaged suspension go on a flatbed regardless of size, because a wheel-lift can do expensive drivetrain damage on those.
