Towing in Alameda, CA – 24/7 Tow Truck Service

Whether your car will not start on a quiet East End street or you need a tow from a parking lot near Alameda Point, we can help with:

• Local towing: to your home, a repair shop, a body shop or a dealership on the island or anywhere in the East Bay.
• Flatbed towing: for all-wheel-drive cars, electric vehicles, low or classic cars, and anything that should not roll on its own wheels.
• Accident towing: careful towing after a collision to the shop you choose.
• Wheel-lift towing: quick local tows for suitable vehicles in tight driveways, garages and apartment lots.
• Long distance towing: when your vehicle needs to go beyond the Bay Area.

The Posey and Webster Street Tubes under the estuary have no shoulder, and the Park Street, Fruitvale and High Street bridges carry steady traffic in and out of the island. If your car stalls in one of these spots:

• Turn on your hazard lights straight away.
• Stay in the car with your seatbelt on. Do not walk through a tube or across traffic.
• If your car is blocking a lane or anyone is hurt, call 911 first.
• Then call us and tell us which tube or bridge you are on and your direction of travel.

If the car still drives, it is usually safer to get out of the tube or off the bridge and stop in the first safe place before calling.

Many Alameda homes have older, narrow driveways, small detached garages and tight street parking. When you call, tell us exactly where the car is parked, how much room there is around it and, for a garage, any posted height limit. For a front-wheel-drive car in a tight spot, wheel-lift towing is often the quickest option. For cars that must stay off their wheels, we will plan how to reach the car safely with a flatbed.

If someone has parked across your driveway, see our blocked driveway towing page. Property managers can also call us for private property towing.

Many electric and all-wheel-drive vehicles should be moved with all four wheels off the ground. If you drive an EV, a hybrid or an AWD car, tell the dispatcher when you call so we can send a flatbed. Your owner’s manual will also say how the maker wants the car transported.

Not sure which truck your car needs? Our guide on flatbed vs wheel-lift towing explains the difference in plain language.

After a collision on Park Street, Webster Street, Otis Drive or anywhere else in town, make sure everyone is safe and call 911 if anyone is hurt or the road is blocked. When you are ready, call us for accident towing. We load damaged vehicles carefully and take them to the body shop, dealership or home you choose.

If your insurance company is involved, our insurance towing page explains how we can help. For a calm checklist of what to do while you wait, read what to do after a car accident before the tow truck arrives.

Damp, cool mornings by the bay can be hard on weak batteries, and a slow leak can leave you with a flat by the time you get back to your car. Not every problem needs a tow. We also offer:

• A jump start or car battery replacement
• A flat tire change with your spare
• Fuel delivery if you run out of gas
• Car lockout help when your keys are locked inside

If the car still will not run after roadside help, we can tow it to a shop.

Your car does not have to stay on the island. We can tow your vehicle from Alameda to a repair shop, body shop or dealership anywhere in the East Bay, including Oakland, San Leandro and our home base in San Lorenzo. Tell us the address where the car needs to go, and if it is farther away, ask about long distance towing.
