It was 3:10 PM on a Tuesday, and David was sitting in the Franklin High School pickup line waiting for his daughter. Engine started making that grinding noise yesterday, but he figured it would make it through the week. Then it just died. Right there in the pickup line, with a hundred cars behind him and his daughter coming out in five minutes.
David's thinking about the chain reaction: his daughter misses work because she can't get there, he misses his evening meeting, and now he's got to figure out how to get a dead car towed from the middle of a school pickup line. He calls us. Twelve minutes later, our truck pulls up. We push his car clear of traffic, get it loaded, and his daughter makes it to work on time.
That's what "local towing" means. We know that Franklin High lets out at 3:15. We know the pickup procedure, we know how to handle school zone traffic, and we understand that your car breaking down isn't just about the car - it affects your whole day. From Franklin Boulevard emergencies to Highway 99 breakdowns, we're not just towing your car. We're getting your life back on track. Whether you need emergency towing or roadside battery service, we understand that when you call us, it's because something important just went wrong.
Professional Towing Service You Can Count On
We Actually Live and Work Here
Our driver Tom has lived in Elk Grove for eight years. When his own car broke down last month in front of Costco, he experienced the same frustration everyone feels when they need help fast.

We know that Elk Grove Florin Road backs up during school hours, we know which mechanics are honest and affordable, and we know how to navigate construction zones on Highway 99. Whether you need emergency lockout help or roadside tire service, this isn't just our coverage area - it's home.
