Our story
Generations of experience, one community
For more than 63 years, American Towing has helped drivers get back on the road throughout the San Diego area. We're proud of the experience we've built and the trust we've earned by showing up when people need help.
We work with AAA to assist its members, and we serve local public safety agencies — the Chula Vista Police Department, California Highway Patrol, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department and others. Whether we're responding to a roadside call or supporting a public agency, we bring the same commitment: dependable service, professional care, and respect for every customer.
Our services include automobile and motorcycle towing, medium- and heavy-duty towing, jumpstarts, tire changes, lockouts, fuel delivery, winch-outs, and other roadside assistance. We're available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
When you call American Towing, you're calling a team with generations of experience and a strong commitment to the communities we serve.
Who we serve
A partner agencies and drivers rely on
Proud AAA partner
We work with AAA to assist its members, holding our roadside work to AAA's service standards — dependable, professional and documented on every call.
Trusted by local law enforcement
We work with local public safety agencies, including the Chula Vista Police Department, California Highway Patrol and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, among others — supporting their tow rotations and impound needs with the same care we bring to every customer.
How we work
Four things we don't compromise on
Always on the clock
Breakdowns don't keep business hours, so neither do we. The dispatch line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — holidays included.
Honest pricing, up front
The dispatcher quotes the rate before the truck rolls. No surprise fees on the shoulder, no fine print when the bill comes.
Right truck for the job
Flatbeds for low-clearance and all-wheel-drive vehicles, heavy wreckers for commercial rigs. We send the equipment your situation actually needs.
Trained, careful operators
Licensed and insured operators who treat your vehicle like their own — from a door-ding-free lockout to a careful accident recovery.
Need a truck now?
Call the dispatch line and a real person picks up — day, night, weekend or holiday. We'll quote the rate before we roll.
