Learn MoreWhen you call, our dispatcher asks where you are, what kind of vehicle you have, and what happened. The more detail you give - your location on I-680, whether the truck is loaded, whether it has rolled - the better prepared the crew is when they arrive. We respond within 1 business day to non-emergency quote requests and immediately to active roadside calls.
When the crew arrives, they walk around the vehicle before touching anything. They check the position, look for fluid leaks, assess the load, and plan the rigging. For a vehicle off the road or on a grade, this assessment step is what keeps the job safe and prevents a manageable situation from getting worse. You are told what they are doing and why.
Once the plan is set, the crew hooks up or begins recovery - safely, with the right equipment for your vehicle's size and situation. Your truck or car is transported to the shop, fleet yard, or storage facility you designate. You get documentation at drop-off and a clear, itemized bill with no surprise charges added after the fact.
Heavy duty towing in California requires more than a standard tow company carries. We hold the proper commercial licensing and insurance for the weight classes we work with - documentation available for your insurance or cargo claims.
We have operated out of San Ramon since 2019, which means we know I-680's merge points, the grades south of San Ramon, and the access roads through Bishop Ranch before we ever leave the lot.
You know the rate before we hook up. We give you a clear written estimate upfront - no number that appears out of nowhere after the vehicle is already at the shop. Itemized receipts are provided at drop-off.
Breakdowns do not wait for business hours and neither do we. Dispatch is available around the clock - nights, weekends, and holidays - and we prioritize calls where a driver is in a dangerous position on the shoulder.

"My semi broke down on I-680 near the Crow Canyon exit during morning rush hour. They gave me a realistic arrival time, showed up with the right heavy-duty rig, and had me off the shoulder in under two hours. No second guessing, no wasted trip."
Robert M., San Ramon - Heavy duty towing
"My car went off Crow Canyon Road into a ditch and I had no idea who to call. The crew did a full assessment before they touched anything, explained exactly what they were doing, and loaded it onto a flatbed without adding any new damage. The whole thing was handled professionally."
Sarah K., Danville - Accident recovery
"We run a delivery fleet through the Tri-Valley and set up an account after one too many scrambles finding help at odd hours. Having them on call has cut our downtime significantly. When a box truck goes down, we make one call and the right unit is moving."
James T., Dublin - Fleet towing
We respond within 1 business day to all estimate requests - often the same day. There is no obligation, and submitting the form does not commit you to anything. After you submit, someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site estimate and talk through the job.
(925) 678-6684San Ramon Heavy Duty Towing is based in San Ramon, CA and provides towing and recovery services across 12 cities and communities in the East Bay and Tri-Valley. We regularly serve drivers and fleet operators in Dublin, Danville, Pleasanton, Livermore, and beyond. Same-week response is available across our entire service territory.
A standard tow truck handles passenger cars and light pickups. Once your vehicle hits a certain weight or size - semi-trucks, box trucks, heavy equipment - a standard unit cannot safely move it. Sending the wrong truck wastes time and risks damage. Always confirm the company has a heavy-duty unit before they dispatch.
The Sunol Grade south of San Ramon puts real stress on loaded trucks. Brake fade, tire failures, and rollovers are more common on steep grades, and recovery from a grade or embankment requires a rotator or multi-unit setup. Rushing a grade recovery makes it worse - a good crew spends time on the scene assessment before any rigging moves.
Yes. EVs weigh significantly more than comparable gas-powered vehicles, and a damaged battery pack can pose fire risks during and after recovery. A qualified operator knows the correct attachment points for your specific EV and where it can safely be stored. The Tri-Valley has one of the higher EV ownership rates in California - mention your vehicle type when you call.
California regulates towing rates for certain types of tows, particularly those ordered by law enforcement. What you pay depends on the vehicle size, distance, time of day, and job complexity. Always ask for a written estimate before work begins. The California Public Utilities Commission oversees some elements of tow rate regulation in the state.
If your vehicle was towed from an accident scene or impounded by law enforcement and you did not authorize it, contact the California Highway Patrol or the local police department that responded. They can tell you which company took the vehicle and where it is. Act quickly - storage fees start accruing immediately once the vehicle arrives at a lot.
The best time to find a qualified heavy-duty towing provider is before you need one. Fleet managers who establish an account in advance get faster response, a dispatcher who already knows their vehicles, and no scramble at 2 a.m. when a rig goes down on the freeway. The time it takes to make one proactive call pays off the first time a truck breaks down mid-route.
San Ramon Heavy Duty Towing is a licensed and insured towing service company based in San Ramon, CA, serving 12 cities across the East Bay and Tri-Valley since 2019. Our operators are credentialed for heavy-duty and commercial vehicle towing and recovery under California commercial vehicle regulations. We carry the proper insurance and permits required to move commercial vehicles and oversized loads on California state highways. Across 16 specialized services, we have built a track record with fleet operators, owner-operators, and local drivers who depend on fast, damage-free recovery when it counts.
Learn more about our team and credentialsIf your vehicle has rolled, gone off the road, or is stuck at an angle, the crew needs to stabilize or winch it before loading. This is called a recovery - it takes longer and costs more than a standard tow, and that is normal. Ask upfront whether your situation qualifies as a recovery so you know what to expect.
When law enforcement is managing a scene on a state highway, they may dispatch from an approved rotation list. You generally have the right to request a specific company. Mention your preferred provider to the officer on scene. The agency can tell you which company was called and where your vehicle will be taken.
Not always. Visible structural damage, a deployed airbag, fluid leaking underneath, or a flat from impact are all signs the vehicle should not be driven - even if it starts. Driving a compromised vehicle can cause additional damage or create a safety hazard for you and others. When in doubt, call for a tow.
For more on vehicle safety after an accident, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration publishes guidance on post-collision safety steps. If you have questions about your specific situation, call us directly and we will walk you through it.
San Ramon is a city of roughly 85,000 residents in the San Ramon Valley, about 34 miles east of San Francisco in Contra Costa County. The city sits where the valley floor meets the Diablo Range foothills, with Mount Diablo visible from most neighborhoods. Interstate 680 runs north-south through the city and is the main corridor connecting San Ramon to Walnut Creek to the north and Dublin and Pleasanton to the south. That stretch of highway carries heavy commercial and commuter traffic daily, and breakdowns and accidents on I-680 are among the most common calls our crews respond to.
The city is home to Bishop Ranch, one of the largest office and mixed-use business parks in the Bay Area, located along I-680 on the west side of the city. Fleet vehicles, delivery trucks, and service vehicles operate through the Bishop Ranch corridors and the surrounding commercial areas every day. Bollinger Canyon Road and Crow Canyon Road are the main east-west surface streets - both involve grades, curves, and limited shoulder space that can complicate a recovery. The City of San Ramon also maintains the Iron Horse Regional Trail, a paved multi-use path that runs north-south through the city along the old railroad corridor - a well-known local landmark for residents on the valley floor.
We have served drivers, fleet operators, and businesses in San Ramon since 2019. Whether your vehicle is on the shoulder of I-680, stuck on a hillside street in one of the neighborhoods near the Diablo Range foothills, or disabled in a loading dock at a Bishop Ranch business park, we know these roads and we know how to work on them safely. Call (925) 678-6684 anytime - we are available 24/7.
