Emergency towing in San Diego County, any hour you call.
If a tire fails on I-5 at 2 a.m. or the engine dies in a Coronado garage, call (858) 923-5787. Quick Tow SD is a referral line, not a fleet. The line takes calls 24/7 and matches you with an independent licensed operator who can take the job. That operator sets the price, the equipment, and the arrival estimate for your exact spot, from the coast through East County.

What do drivers ask about emergency towing?
How much does an emergency tow cost in San Diego?
The operator who accepts the work quotes this vehicle and this route. Ask for one total before anyone rolls, and what is inside it. Heavy-duty and long-distance jobs are separate quotes. Check the invoice against that total.
How fast can someone get to me?
There is no published countywide arrival window. Coastal and central addresses are often shorter drives than East County, the backcountry, or the Pendleton corridor. The operator taking the job gives the estimate after they have your location.
Will someone come to the freeway?
Independent operators in this county take private calls from freeway shoulders when they can do the work legally and safely. A CHP-ordered rotation tow is a different process than a call you place to this line. If you are on a covered freeway during Freeway Service Patrol hours, you can also call 511.
What do I do while I wait?
On a freeway, stay belted with hazards on unless there is fire or smoke. If you already have a safe, firm place off the travel lanes, stay out of traffic. Do not change a tire in a live lane. Call (858) 923-5787 and stay where the operator can find you.
Do you take insurance or motor club jobs?
If you already have AAA, an insurer add-on, or a warranty program, call that plan first so they can dispatch under their terms. If you have no coverage or the plan does not cover this stop, this line matches you with an operator who quotes you directly.
