Driving conditions in San Francisco

Most San Francisco calls come from everyday driving: a longer-than-planned commute, a public charger that is out of service, or a car that sat for days and woke up low. A short mobile DC session usually adds enough range to reach the next working station.

How it works

  1. Request towing. Share the location, destination and vehicle details.
  2. Transport mode. The operator follows the manufacturer’s tow or transport mode procedure.
  3. Flatbed delivery. All four wheels off the ground to the destination you choose.

What to expect

What happens when you request EV towing in San Francisco

  1. 1

    You call or book online

    Share your exact spot on US-101, I-80 and I-280, or the nearest landmark such as Financial District, your vehicle and the battery percentage.

  2. 2

    Dispatch confirms

    We confirm your connector, the price and an arrival estimate for San Francisco before a unit is sent.

  3. 3

    A technician drives to you

    Average arrival is under 45 minutes. Keep your phone on so the technician can reach you.

  4. 4

    Your EV is loaded

    Wheels-off-the-ground flatbed loading, transport mode on, and delivery to the destination you choose.

  5. 5

    Back on the road

    The technician confirms the car is ready to drive, or explains the next step if it is not.

Tell dispatch

  • Your location in San Francisco: address, exit, mile marker or cross-street
  • Year, make and model of your EV
  • Battery % and any warning on the dashboard
  • Garage level and height clearance, if inside

Stay safe while you wait

  • Hazard lights on; move off live lanes if the car still creeps
  • On a highway shoulder, wait behind the barrier if it is safe
  • Keep your phone charged and your line free for our call
  • In immediate danger, call 911 first

When towing is the better answer

Towing is the service on this page. If the car only needs energy or a 12V boost, dispatch will tell you, so you do not pay for a tow you do not need.
