Professional roadside assistance from Pinnacle Towing Service, available 24/7.
Call (619) 648-1403Roadside assistance is what stands between you and being stranded when your vehicle breaks down or gets stuck somewhere you can't drive out of. It's not just about dead batteries and flat tires — though we handle plenty of those. When your diesel pickup won't turn over at 5 AM before a job site run, when your travel trailer blows a tire on the shoulder of Highway 79, or when your truck slides off a muddy fire road after heavy rains, that's when you need someone with the right equipment and experience to get you moving again.
The process starts with your call. We ask specific questions: What's your exact location? What type of vehicle? What's the problem? Are you in a safe spot? Our dispatcher sends the nearest truck with the right equipment for your situation. For a simple jump-start, we bring portable power packs and charging systems. For tire changes on heavy trucks, we carry hydraulic jacks rated for serious weight. Stuck vehicles need winches — we run PTO-driven units that can pull 25,000 pounds through a snatch block.
Our trucks carry more than basic tools. We stock heavy-duty battery chargers, air compressors that'll inflate truck tires to 80 PSI, and enough different tire irons to handle everything from a Honda Civic to a Ford F-450. The winch setup includes recovery straps, D-rings, and tree protectors because proper rigging prevents damage to your vehicle and whatever we're anchoring to. When the job's done, you drive away or we tow you to where you need to be.
Most roadside calls get resolved on-site within 30 minutes. The exceptions are usually stuck vehicles in difficult terrain or mechanical problems that require a tow to a shop. Either way, we stay until your situation is handled completely — no halfway fixes that leave you broken down again five miles down the road.
Cold mornings and old batteries don't mix — our portable power packs get diesels and gas engines running without needing another vehicle.
Changing a tire on a lifted truck or loaded trailer takes hydraulic jacks and tools most people don't carry — we bring the heavy-duty equipment.
Mud, sand, or sliding off fire roads happens fast in East County — our winches and recovery gear pull vehicles out without damage.
Running out of gas on backcountry roads means a long walk — we deliver fuel directly to your location, day or night.
Locked keys in your truck cab happens to everyone eventually — we open vehicle doors without damaging windows or door frames.
