Learn MoreCall us directly or fill out the contact form and we will call you back within 1 business day. When you call, our dispatcher asks for your location, vehicle type, and a brief description of the situation. The more detail you give, the faster we send the right equipment. No menus, no hold queues - you reach a real person.
The operator arrives, walks around your vehicle before touching anything, and explains exactly what needs to happen and what it will cost - before any work begins. If the situation is more complex than a standard hookup, we explain why and what options you have. No surprise charges at the end of a stressful call.
Your vehicle is rigged carefully with straps and chains rated for the load, transported securely to your chosen destination - a repair shop, dealer, fleet yard, or storage facility - and unloaded without added damage. You receive an itemized receipt at drop-off so you know exactly what you paid for and have documentation for your insurer.
We carry full state licensing and insurance coverage required for towing and recovery operations in California - protecting your vehicle and giving you clear recourse if anything goes wrong.
We explain exactly what a job involves and what it costs before any equipment is attached. No work begins until you agree to the quote. Towing rates in California are regulated, and ours are within those bounds - ask for a written estimate any time.
We have operated out of Danville since 2017, which means we know the I-680 corridor, the hillside roads toward Mount Diablo, and the access routes that matter when minutes count. Local staging means faster arrival times than operators dispatching from Oakland or San Jose.
Breakdowns happen at midnight and on holidays. We dispatch every hour of every day and never send you to voicemail when you need help. A real dispatcher picks up and gets the right truck moving to your location.

"My semi broke down on I-680 near the Sycamore Valley exit during the evening commute. I called and they gave me a realistic arrival time - not a made-up number. The heavy wrecker showed up with the right equipment and cleared the scene without drama. That is all I needed."
Marcus T., San Ramon - Heavy duty towing
"My car slid off Diablo Road after the last big rain and ended up partway down an embankment. The crew walked around it first, explained exactly how they were going to winch it back up, and got it onto the flatbed without adding any new damage. They took it straight to my shop in Pleasanton."
Renata K., Danville - Accident recovery
"I manage a small delivery fleet and set up an account after one of our sprinters broke down on Crow Canyon Road. Now I have one number to call. The dispatcher knows our vehicles and I get an itemized invoice every time - no guessing what I am being charged."
Derek H., Dublin - Fleet towing
We respond to every inquiry within 1 business day. There is no obligation to commit - fill out the form and someone from our office will call you to schedule a free on-site estimate. Tell us your vehicle type, location, and what happened, and we will take it from there.

No - a standard light-duty tow truck built for passenger cars cannot safely move a semi-truck, large RV, or heavy commercial rig. Using undersized equipment risks frame damage, drivetrain problems, and safety hazards on the road. Always confirm the company has the right equipment for your vehicle class before they dispatch.
A winch-out is required when a vehicle has gone off-road into a ditch, soft ground, or down an embankment where a flatbed or wheel-lift cannot safely reach it. The wrecker uses its cable and boom to pull the vehicle free before loading. Winch-outs take more time and typically carry an additional charge beyond the base tow rate.
Yes. California regulates towing rates, and Contra Costa County has its own framework that applies particularly to law-enforcement-directed tows. If a CHP officer orders your vehicle towed, the rates and your rights as the vehicle owner are governed by state and local rules - not just whatever the company quotes. California DMV publishes information on consumer towing rights.
Yes. Hybrid and fully electric vehicles have high-voltage battery systems that require specific precautions after a collision - especially if the battery has been damaged. Always tell the dispatcher your vehicle is a hybrid or EV when you call, so the crew can prepare. Not every tow operator is trained for high-voltage battery protocols.
Get yourself and any passengers away from traffic - behind a guardrail if possible. Turn on your hazard lights and set out reflective triangles or flares behind the vehicle if you have them. Do not stand between your car and oncoming traffic while waiting. If the vehicle is blocking a lane, call 911 in addition to calling for a tow.
A tow moves a vehicle from one point to another. A recovery gets a vehicle into a towable position first - winching it out of a ditch, uprighting it after a rollover, or extracting it from off-road terrain. Recovery is more complex, takes longer, and costs more than a standard tow. A reputable operator explains the difference and quotes accordingly before starting.
Danville Towing Services is a licensed and insured towing service company based in Danville, CA, serving Danville and 11 surrounding communities since 2017. We hold the state licensing and insurance coverage required for towing and recovery operations in California, issued under the California Department of Motor Vehicles framework that governs tow operators in the state.
Since 2017, we have handled towing and recovery jobs across the I-680 corridor, the hillside roads toward Mount Diablo, and the broader Tri-Valley region - covering 16 services from heavy-duty wrecking and accident recovery to flatbed towing and roadside assistance. Every operator is trained for the equipment they drive and the weight class they handle.

Many auto policies include roadside assistance or towing coverage. Check your policy before paying out of pocket - your insurer may reimburse a reasonable tow charge or dispatch a preferred provider. Keep every receipt and piece of paperwork the operator gives you. California Department of Insurance has consumer resources on auto coverage.
If a CHP officer or local police order the tow, the responding company comes from an approved rotation list and the rates are governed by state and local caps. You have the right to a written invoice and to have your vehicle moved to a shop of your choosing once it is in storage. Storage fees accrue daily, so act quickly.
Yes - for a consensual tow you call yourself, you direct the destination. Tell dispatch your preferred repair shop, dealership, or storage yard and the operator will deliver there. If you are not sure yet, most companies can hold the vehicle while you sort out your insurance and repair plans - just be aware that storage fees begin accruing on arrival.

Danville is a town of roughly 43,000 people in Contra Costa County, situated about 30 miles east of San Francisco in the San Ramon Valley. Incorporated in 1982, the town spans approximately 18 square miles and combines a preserved historic downtown core along Hartz Avenue with newer residential neighborhoods that extend toward the foothills. Interstate 680 runs through the center of town, connecting Danville north to Walnut Creek and south toward San Jose and the Central Valley.
The eastern edge of Danville rises into the foothills of Mount Diablo State Park, one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Bay Area. The winding roads leading toward Diablo Road and Blackhawk Road see regular vehicle incidents - curves, grades, and limited shoulder space make recovery from these routes more complex than a flat highway tow. Danville is also home to the Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site, a National Park Service property in the hills west of town, and the Museum of the San Ramon Valley, which reflects the town's deep local roots.
The I-680 corridor through Danville carries heavy commuter and commercial truck traffic every day, connecting the Tri-Valley to the broader Bay Area. The Sunol Grade to the south is one of the steepest sustained highway grades in the region, putting real stress on commercial vehicles and making breakdowns on that stretch more common - and more complex to recover from - than on flat roads. Danville Towing Services is based locally and dispatches across the full San Ramon Valley, which means shorter response times and operators who know the terrain.
By appointment only, no walk-ins.
