Professional roadside assistance from Highway Heroes Towing, available 24/7.
Call (619) 815-5033Roadside assistance covers the emergencies that happen when your vehicle breaks down but doesn't need a full tow to a repair shop. Think dead batteries during those early morning commutes to Sorrento Valley, flat tires on the shoulder of the 805, or locking your keys in the car at a Kearny Mesa office park. Our crews carry portable jump-start units, tire changing equipment, lockout tools, and emergency fuel to get you moving again without the expense and time of a tow.
The process starts the moment you call or use our mobile app — GPS locates your exact position, and we dispatch the nearest truck from our corridor positioning system. Our technician arrives with a fully-equipped service truck carrying everything from portable air compressors to professional-grade jump boxes that work on both traditional 12V systems and newer 48V mild-hybrid setups. Most roadside fixes take 10-15 minutes once we're on scene.
When roadside assistance isn't enough — like when your transmission fails or you've been in an accident — our trucks are equipped to transition immediately to towing service. No waiting for a second truck or making additional calls. Our technicians assess the situation, attempt the roadside fix first, and if that doesn't solve the problem, we load your vehicle and transport it to your preferred repair facility.
Every service truck carries specialized equipment for modern vehicles, including insulated tools for EV work and diagnostic scanners that can read error codes from most makes and models. We maintain direct parts relationships with local auto parts stores, so if you need a replacement battery or other quick-install component, we can often source it on the spot rather than leaving you stranded.
Our portable jump units work on everything from compact cars to Tesla Model S 12V auxiliary batteries that leave you locked out.
We'll mount your spare tire roadside, or if you don't have one, transport your vehicle to the nearest tire shop.
Professional lockout tools get you back in your car without damage to windows, weatherstripping, or electronic door systems.
Ran out of gas on the freeway? We bring enough fuel to get you to the nearest station, not just a gallon or two.
Overheated engines, loose battery terminals, or blown fuses — we handle the simple fixes that don't require towing.
