How we score

Rating is the live Google average for each company. Review volume measures how many customers have actually rated them, benchmarked against other towing services we reviewed for this page. Confidence blends rating with volume, since a high score means more when hundreds of people back it up. Recency checks how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does towing cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

None of the companies on this page publish a fixed price list we can responsibly cite, and cost depends heavily on distance, vehicle size, and time of day. Reviewers across multiple companies describe pricing as fair or reasonable compared to other quotes they’d received, which suggests it pays to get more than one quote before agreeing, especially for a longer or heavy-duty tow.

Serving all of Los Angeles

These companies cover a wide stretch of the LA area, from Boyle Heights and Silver Lake to Eagle Rock, South LA, and Venice Boulevard, with several extending service into Santa Monica, Culver City, Beverly Hills, and Long Beach. Wherever you break down, a towing service near you in Los Angeles is likely a short call away from one of these picks.

What to ask before you call a tow truck

How far out are you, and what’s the actual ETA right now?
Can you handle my specific vehicle, including EVs, low-clearance cars, or tight driveways?
What’s the total cost, including any distance or after-hours fees?
Do you carry insurance that covers damage during loading or transport?
Can you take photos or details in advance to confirm the tow is possible?
Do you offer roadside services like jump starts or lockouts if I don’t need a full tow?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these towing services?

We pulled real Google Business Profile data for towing companies across Los Angeles and ranked them on their live rating, how many customers reviewed them, and how recently those reviews were left.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects data verified in July 2026 and is refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Which LA towing service has the most reviews?

Best One Towing, with 250 Google reviews at a 4.8 average, the most reviewed name on this list.

Can these companies handle electric or hybrid vehicles?

Several reviewers specifically mention EV and hybrid towing experience, including handling e-brake issues and low-clearance tow requirements. Confirm directly with the company before the truck arrives.

The bottom line

Best One Towing is the safe default for a standard breakdown, with the fastest reported response times and the deepest review base on this page. If your situation is unusual, a tight garage, an EV, a job other companies turned down, Emmett’s or Primary Towing are worth the call instead.
