24/7 Towing & Roadside Assistance in Lakeside, CA

Lakeside is East County, and towing here is a different job than towing in the city. Distances between houses are longer, a lot of driveways are gravel or dirt, properties run well back from the road, and stretches of SR-67 and Wildcat Canyon Road carry fast traffic with limited shoulder. Heavy Hitt Towing dispatches into Lakeside 24 hours a day for passenger-vehicle towing and roadside assistance.

SR-67 is the spine. It runs north from I-8 at El Cajon up through Lakeside toward Ramona, and it's where most of our urgent Lakeside calls come from — vehicles that overheat on the climb, blow a tire, or simply quit on a narrow shoulder. Our drivers arrive with cones, triangles and hi-vis gear and set up a proper work zone before doing anything, because the sight lines on that highway are not forgiving.

Inland heat is a real factor out here in a way it isn't on the coast. Summer temperatures in East County run well above what the same vehicle would see in Pacific Beach, and cooling systems that were marginal in June fail in August. Overheating no-starts, expired batteries and heat-stressed tires make up a meaningful share of our warm-season Lakeside work.

The surface network we work is Woodside Avenue, Riverford Road, Los Coches Road, Winter Gardens Boulevard, Channel Road, Mapleview Street and Julian Avenue, plus the Lake Jennings and Moreno Avenue areas. Rural addresses can be hard to find at night, so give the dispatcher a nearest cross street or a mile marker on SR-67 in addition to the address, and mention if the driveway is unpaved or gated.

We tow passenger vehicles — sedans, SUVs, crossovers and light trucks — on wheel-lift equipment, and we handle jump starts, lockouts, flat tire changes and fuel delivery. Fuel delivery matters more here than in the city simply because stations are farther apart. We tow to your shop, dealer, or home anywhere in San Diego County.
