Towing & Roadside Assistance Across Hillcrest
Hillcrest sits on the mesa above Mission Valley, and two things define towing here: the medical district and the canyons. Hospital and clinic parking structures along Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Avenues generate a constant stream of dead-battery and no-start calls from people who parked for a long shift or a long appointment. And the neighborhood's edges drop sharply into Mission Valley and toward Bankers Hill, so a lot of parking is on real grade. Heavy Hitt Towing dispatches into Hillcrest around the clock.
Our trucks are wheel-lift units, which is the practical choice here. Hillcrest's medical parking structures and older apartment garages off Robinson, Pennsylvania and Brookes Avenues have low ceilings and tight ramps that a flatbed can't negotiate. Same for the alley access behind the University Avenue and Fifth Avenue commercial blocks.
The grade deserves its own mention. Streets running north off Washington toward the Mission Valley rim, and the blocks that fall away west of Fourth toward Bankers Hill, mean a stalled car often sits nose-down or nose-up on a slope. Our drivers set the truck for the slope before hooking, chock where needed, and never rely on a parking brake that may already have failed.
Access is straightforward: SR-163 runs along the eastern side with ramps at Washington Street and University Avenue, I-5 is close on the west via Washington Street, and I-8 sits at the bottom of the valley. On the surface, we work University Avenue, Washington Street, Robinson Avenue, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Avenues, and First Avenue heading down into Bankers Hill.
We serve Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, Mission Hills' eastern edge, University Heights and the medical-district blocks, handling towing plus jump starts, lockouts, flat tire changes and fuel delivery. Passenger vehicles only — sedans, SUVs, crossovers and light trucks — towed to the destination of your choosing anywhere in San Diego County.

Hillcrest Towing FAQs
Common questions from Hillcrest drivers about our towing and roadside assistance.
- Can you tow from a Hillcrest medical parking structure? +
- Yes, and it's one of our most common calls in the neighborhood. Our wheel-lift trucks clear the low ceilings in those structures. Give the dispatcher the structure entrance street and your level.
- My car is parked on a steep Hillcrest street. Is that a problem? +
- Not for us, but tell us. The driver will set the truck for the slope and chock the vehicle before lifting rather than assuming the parking brake is holding.
- Do you offer jump starts in Hillcrest? +
- Yes. Vehicles left in hospital and clinic garages through a long shift are our most frequent jump-start calls here. We test the battery on site and give you a straight answer about replacement.
- Do you handle lockouts near Fifth and University? +
- Yes, at any hour. We verify ownership with ID before opening any vehicle.
