24 Hour Towing in San Jose, CA
An emergency tow truck at any hour, anywhere in San Jose and the surrounding cities, in 45 minutes or less. You get the quote on the call, before a truck is dispatched.
Emergency towing is the call you make when the vehicle has stopped and staying where it is, is not an option. On a freeway shoulder with traffic going past at speed. Half in a live lane. In a parking lot at two in the morning, a long way from anyone you know. It is the same tow it would have been at noon, except that now the hour and your safety are part of the job.
Guerra Towing answers 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays included. Dispatch takes where you are and what happened, gives you the quote on that call, and tells you what to do while you wait. San Jose and the surrounding cities, every hour of the year.

When to Call for an Emergency Tow
Five situations where the hour matters as much as the tow.
Broken down on a freeway or a busy road
Traffic at speed a door's width away changes the job. Get everyone out on the side away from the traffic, behind a barrier if there is one, and then call. Dispatch needs the freeway, the direction you were going and the last exit you passed.
It is the middle of the night
The phone is answered at 3am, and a truck reaches you in 45 minutes or less across San Jose and the surrounding cities. You are not waiting until a shop opens in the morning, and you get the quote on that call rather than finding out when the truck arrives.
The vehicle is blocking a lane or a driveway
A stopped vehicle in moving traffic is a hazard before it is a tow. Call 911 first if it is in a live lane, then call us and say it is blocking traffic, so it goes out as urgent.
It cannot stay where it is much longer
Permit parking, street sweeping in the morning, a parking lot closing for the night. Give dispatch the deadline when you call and you are told right away whether it can be met. Note that we tow at the request of the vehicle owner or driver only: removals ordered by a property owner are not work we take, and the police already contract their own operators for it.
You are stranded on the far side of town
Late, somewhere you do not know, nobody to ring. Give both addresses when you book, where the vehicle is and where it should end up, anywhere in the cities we cover.
What Affects an Emergency Tow Price
Every emergency tow is quoted free, before the driver hooks up. 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 vehicle on a driveway loads quickly. One on a freeway shoulder in live traffic takes longer, because the scene has to be made safe first.
Time and access
Overnight calls, freeway shoulders, underground garages and tight streets all change what the job takes.
24 Hour Towing FAQs
The questions San Jose drivers ask dispatch most often.
Can I get a tow truck at 3am in San Jose?
Yes. Guerra Towing runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays included. The phone at three in the morning is the same dispatch as at three in the afternoon, and the tow is booked and quoted the same way. Across San Jose and the surrounding cities we get to you in 45 minutes or less. Dispatch gives you the time on the call, and if a job is going to run longer than that you are told then and you agree before a truck is sent.
What should I do while I wait for the tow truck?
If you are on a freeway or a fast road, get everyone out on the side away from the traffic and stand behind a barrier if there is one, not next to the vehicle. Hazard lights on. Stay where the driver can see you and keep your phone on, because the driver may call as they get close.
What does dispatch need to know when I call?
Where the vehicle is, as precisely as you can manage: the freeway and direction and the last exit, or the street and the nearest cross street. Then what it is doing, what it is, and where it needs to go. That is enough to quote the job and send the right truck the first time.
Is an emergency tow more expensive than one booked in advance?
The quote rests on the same things either way: how far, how big the vehicle is and how hard it is to reach. Whatever the number is for your job, you hear it on the call, before a truck is sent.
My vehicle is stuck in a lane of traffic. Who do I call first?
Call 911. A vehicle stopped in a live lane is a road hazard, and getting the scene made safe comes before the tow. Call us straight after and say it is blocking traffic.
Do you run on weekends and holidays?
Yes, both, with no seasonal shutdown. Weekends and holidays are worked the same as a Tuesday, which is the point of a 24 hour towing service.
