Towing in Stockton, CA

What Is Towing?

Towing is the transport of a vehicle that cannot or should not be driven, using a truck built to carry it safely. After an accident, it moves the vehicle from the scene to the repair shop. It also helps when a vehicle will not start or is not safe to drive.

A damaged vehicle has to be loaded with care so it is not hurt further. The tow truck secures it for the trip and brings it straight to our shop. From there, the repair can start without a second tow.

Why Towing Matters in Stockton, CA

Stockton sits where Interstate 5 and State Route 99 cross, and State Route 4 runs through it to the west. Accidents on these busy roads often leave vehicles that should not be driven another mile. Moving a damaged vehicle off the road quickly keeps you and other drivers safe.

Driving a vehicle with a bent wheel, a cracked radiator or broken lights can turn a repair into a much bigger one. In winter, tule fog can make driving a damaged car with weak lights especially dangerous. A tow protects both the vehicle and the people in it.

When to Consider Towing in Stockton, CA

Call for a tow when a wheel or the suspension was hit, when fluid is leaking, or when the airbags went off. A vehicle with broken lights or a loose bumper should not be driven on the freeway. If you are unsure, a tow is the safe choice.

Towing also makes sense when a vehicle will not start after an accident. It saves you from arranging a tow to one place and a second tow to the shop. Having it towed straight to us lets the estimate begin right away.

How Our Towing Works

Here is how towing to our shop works:

• Step 1: Call (209) 922-3470 and tell us where the vehicle is and what happened.
• Step 2: We tow your vehicle to our shop for a free estimate.
• Step 3: We explain what we found and what the repair will take before any work starts.
• Step 4: Once you approve, we repair your vehicle and get you back on the road.

Accident Towing

After an accident, we tow your vehicle from the scene or the tow yard to our shop. The vehicle is loaded with care so no new damage is done. Once it arrives, it is ready for inspection.

Having the vehicle at the shop that will repair it saves time and trouble. It also lets us start working with your adjuster right away. Our Insurance Claim Assistance page explains that part of the process.

Towing Disabled Vehicles

A vehicle that will not start or is not safe to drive needs a tow too. We bring it to our shop so the problem can be looked at. You do not have to find a second shop to haul it to later.

This also covers vehicles with damage that makes them unsafe on the road. Broken lights, a dragging bumper or a leaking radiator all count. A tow keeps a small problem from growing on the way in.

From Tow to Repair

Every tow to our shop ends in the same place as the repair. We inspect the vehicle, write a free estimate and explain it to you. The repair is then done in the same shop.

That includes collision repair, frame work and unibody repairs when the damage reaches the structure. Our Collision Repair and Frame Work pages cover that work. One shop handles the vehicle from the tow to the finished repair.
