We respond throughout San Diego County 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Average response time: 30 minutes.
When you call Pinnacle Towing Service, a real East County dispatcher answers — someone who knows the difference between Crest, Bostonia, and Granite Hills. We don't run your call through an answering service, and we don't pretend a truck is closer than it really is. The dispatcher pulls up real positions, gives you a real ETA, and quotes you the full price up front. The driver phones when they're a few minutes out so you can step outside or unlock the gate. East County has long backroads — we'd rather tell you 30 minutes and arrive in 28 than promise 15 and show up an hour later.
Our trucks stage across El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee, Lakeside, and the broader East County footprint, with a 30-minute average response into the core areas. For the desert-side stretches — Alpine, Pine Valley, Descanso — response runs a little longer, but we still go. We work I-8, SR-67, SR-94, and the back roads through Jamul.

We dispatch 24/7, every day of the year — through major holidays, freezing winter mornings, and the late summer wildfire season. There is no overnight surcharge, no holiday upcharge. The phone is answered live.
Have your location pinned: a cross street, a fire road number, or the name of a recognizable landmark. Tell us your vehicle's make, model, year, color, and whether it's drivable. East County roads sometimes need specific equipment — a winch, a flatbed with extra clearance — so the more detail, the better. Keep your phone close so our driver can call to confirm.
