Towing & Roadside Assistance Blog

When your car breaks down in Fresno, your first priority should be your safety. Whether you're driving through downtown, near Fresno State, or on highways like 99 or I-5, following a clear plan can help you stay calm and protected.

1. Pull over safely: Move your car to the right side of the road or shoulder, as far away from traffic as possible. If you're near an off-ramp or parking area, exit the highway.
2. Turn on hazard lights: Immediately activate your hazard lights to alert other drivers. If it's dark or foggy, keep your headlights on.
3. Exit carefully (if safe): If you must leave your vehicle, do so from the passenger side to avoid traffic. On busy roads, it may be safest to stay inside with seatbelts on.
4. Assess the issue: Try to identify the problem — is it a flat tire, a dead battery, or engine trouble? This helps towing professionals respond appropriately.
5. Call for help: Reach out to a trusted local towing provider. Call our 24/7 emergency line at +1 (559) 785-0634. Our experienced team will dispatch a tow truck right to your location.
6. Stay visible and safe: If you have roadside triangles or flares, set them up a safe distance behind your vehicle. Avoid standing too close to traffic at all times.
7. Wait for professional assistance: Fresno Towing Service technicians are trained to reach you quickly — whether you're near the Convention Center or out in rural Fresno County.

Car trouble is never convenient, but knowing what to do can keep you and your passengers safe. For rapid response towing in Fresno, we're just a call away. Save our number for peace of mind.

Understanding when to call for towing services can make a significant difference in how quickly help arrives. In Fresno and across California, tow truck demand fluctuates based on time of day, season, and even the weather.

• Rush hours (7–9 AM & 4–7 PM): These times typically have longer wait times due to higher traffic volume and more accidents. Try to avoid breakdowns during these hours — but if it happens, call us right away so we can prioritize your location.
• Weather-related surges: Although rain is rare in the Central Valley, even light rain or dense Tule fog can dramatically increase call volume. These weather conditions often lead to more collisions and roadside issues.
• Summer breakdowns: Fresno's extreme summer heat can cause engines to overheat and batteries to fail. July and August are peak months for roadside assistance, especially during afternoon commutes.
• Best times to call: Mid-morning (10 AM – 12 PM) or early afternoon (1 – 3 PM) tend to be quieter, making it more likely that you'll receive faster service.

Regardless of timing, true emergencies should never wait. Our team is staffed 24/7 and trained to respond quickly, even during high-demand hours. Whether it's early morning on Highway 180 or a foggy evening in Clovis, you can count on us.

Save our number now: +1 (559) 785-0634 — and get peace of mind knowing reliable help is always available.

Flatbed towing is the gold standard for vehicle transport in Fresno — and for good reason. With varied terrain from city streets to rural highways, the Central Valley demands a towing method that ensures maximum safety and vehicle protection.

Unlike traditional hook-and-chain towing, flatbed towing lifts your entire vehicle off the ground. This eliminates unnecessary wear on tires, transmissions, and drivetrains — especially important for all-wheel-drive vehicles, luxury cars, and motorcycles.

• Zero contact with the road: Your vehicle stays completely off the ground, reducing damage risk during transport.
• Versatile and secure: Flatbeds accommodate a wide range of vehicle sizes — up to 10,000 pounds — and are equipped with multiple tie-down points.
• Weather protection: Our trucks help shield your car from elements during transport, which is especially useful in summer heat or foggy winter months.
• Safe loading & unloading: Vehicles are winched or driven onto the bed using low-incline ramps for safe, smooth handling.

Whether you're transporting a vehicle from Clovis to downtown Fresno or across the state, our professional team ensures your vehicle arrives in the same condition it left — with no added stress.
