Car Towing in San Jose, CA
Tow my car, said plainly. One car, one truck, a price before we load, anywhere in San Jose and the surrounding cities.
Car towing is the ordinary job, and most of it is not an emergency. A car that will not turn over on a Tuesday morning. One that has sat behind the house since last winter. One that needs to get from the driveway to a shop across town, or from the shop back home once the work is done.
Guerra Towing moves cars across San Jose and the surrounding cities. You get the price on the phone before a truck is sent, and the car goes where you say: your mechanic, a dealership or your home. If the situation is urgent instead, say so when you call and it is treated that way.

Why People Call Us to Tow a Car
Guerra Towing is your family-owned Emergency Towing Company in the San Jose, CA area. Cars are moved day and night, 7 days a week, holidays included, and dispatch quotes the tow before a truck leaves.
Car Towing, Day or Night
Most people searching for someone to tow my car are not standing on a freeway shoulder. They are at home, at work, or outside a store that has just closed, with a car that will not move. Dispatch answers at 7am and at 3am, and the tow is booked the same way either time: you describe the car and where it is, you get the price, then a truck comes.

When You Need a Car Tow
Most of these are not emergencies. They still need a truck.
It will not start
Dead in the driveway, in a work parking lot or outside a store. If a jump start would fix it, say so on the phone and that is what shows up instead.
It has been parked for months
Flat tires, a dead battery, maybe a seized brake. A car that has not moved since last year does not have to roll to get on the truck.
It needs to get to a shop, or back home
Driveway to mechanic, mechanic to dealership, dealership to your curb. You pick the address and the driver goes there.
It is in a garage or underground parking
Low ceilings and tight ramps change which truck comes. Tell dispatch the level and the clearance when you call.
You just bought or sold it
A car that is not registered, not insured or not running still has to move between two addresses. That is a normal booking, not an emergency.
What Affects Your Car Towing Price
Every car tow is quoted before the driver loads it. These are the things that move the number.
Distance of the tow
Where we pick up and where it is going. A cross-town tow and a two-block tow are not the same job.
Vehicle size and type
We tow light to medium vehicles. A motorcycle, a sedan and a lifted truck each need different equipment.
How hard the pick-up is
A car on a driveway loads quickly. One boxed in on a narrow street or down a parking ramp takes longer.
Time and access
Overnight calls, freeway shoulders, underground garages and tight streets all change what the job takes.
Car Towing FAQs
The questions San Jose drivers ask dispatch most often.
My car will not start. Can you still tow it?
Yes. A car does not need to run to be towed. Worth saying on the phone what it is doing, because if it only needs a jump start, that is a cheaper call out than a tow.
Can you tow a car that has been sitting for months?
Yes. Flat tires, a dead battery or brakes that have seized on are all normal. Tell dispatch so the driver brings what is needed to get it moving onto the truck.
Can you get a car out of an underground or multi-level parking garage?
Usually yes, but the clearance decides which truck comes. Give dispatch the level and the height limit when you call so the right one is sent the first time.
I just bought or sold a car. Can you move it between two addresses?
Yes. Unregistered, uninsured or not running is fine. Give both addresses when you book and you get the price before anything is loaded.
How much does it cost to tow a car in San Jose?
It depends on where the car is, where it is going, the size of the vehicle and how hard it is to reach. The price is agreed on the phone before a truck is dispatched.
Do I have to be there when the car is picked up?
Not always. Tell dispatch where the car is, where the key is and where it is going, and they will tell you what they need from you for that particular job.
