Accident & Breakdown Towing in Palo Alto
The five calls Palo Alto sends us most, and what makes each one quicker.
A breakdown on US-101 or I-280
Traffic on both runs fast and close. Ease onto the shoulder with hazards on, stay behind the barrier if you can, and tell dispatch the freeway, the direction and the last exit, Embarcadero, Oregon or Page Mill.
A no-start in a garage off University Avenue
The downtown city garages stack several levels with low beams. Name the garage, the level and the stall, and a wheel-lift with dollies comes that can get in and out.
An EV at a Stanford Research Park office
Office lots off Page Mill and Hanover see plenty of electric cars. They ride the flat bed with the wheels off the road, so give dispatch the model and the building.
A car stopped on the hill stretch of Page Mill Road
Past I-280 the road climbs and narrows, and there is little room to pull over. Share a pin, and say whether the car is still on the asphalt.
After a collision on El Camino Real or Oregon Expressway
The damaged car is loaded and delivered to the body shop you name. With police on scene, the driver waits for their go-ahead and then clears the road.
Roadside Assistance in Palo Alto, CA
Keys locked inside at Stanford Shopping Center or a flat on Middlefield seldom call for a tow. It is fixed where the car stands, and if the fix will not last, that same truck carries the car away.
What Your Towing Quote Depends On
Dispatch asks you four things, and those four things make the quote.
The vehicle
Sedan, SUV, EV, pickup, van or motorcycle. EVs and all-wheel drive travel on the flat bed.
Where it is
A city garage, a campus lot, a hill road or a freeway shoulder. How the truck reaches it shapes the work.
Where it is going
A shop in Palo Alto, or an address in a neighboring city.
What happened
A flat, a dead battery, a no-start or a collision; each calls for its own equipment and time on site.
Nothing is sent until you say yes to the quote. Call (408) 828-6533 to get a quote.

Palo Alto Towing FAQs
Straight answers to what Palo Alto callers ask us.
How long until a tow truck reaches me in Palo Alto?
45 minutes or less, day or night. Trucks are on standby for Palo Alto, and the dispatcher tells you the arrival time before you decide.
What will a tow in Palo Alto cost me?
The vehicle, its location and its destination set it. The quote is given over the phone, and the truck is sent only after you agree.
My car was towed by the Palo Alto Police. How do I get it back?
Guerra Towing does not handle police tows or private-property tows, so none of those cars are with us. For a Palo Alto Police tow, the departmentās impounded vehicle release desk at 275 Forest Avenue can help: call (650) 329-2406. For a private-property tow, the towing companyās name and number are on the sign posted at the lot. When the car is released, we can take it to your mechanic or your driveway.
Can you get a car out of a downtown Palo Alto garage?
Yes. Tell dispatch which garage, which level and whether the ceiling is low. A wheel-lift with dollies handles garages a flat bed cannot enter.
Can you tow a damaged Tesla or other EV?
Yes. A damaged EV goes on the flat bed, strapped and chocked, with its wheels off the road the whole way.
Do you speak Spanish?
SĆ. Se habla espaƱol, de dĆa y de noche. Call (408) 828-6533.
Can I reserve a tow for a set time?
Yes. Tell dispatch the day and time, where the car is and where it goes, and the slot is yours.
