VerifiedPoint Loma has two towing companies listed in the area—C&D Towing and Wind N Sea Towing—both covering the Rosecrans, Midway, and Sports Arena corridor for accident recovery, breakdown towing, and impound transport. Neither has built the review volume for a name-drop recommendation yet, but both handle local tows across the peninsula and into neighboring communities.
For breakdowns on the south peninsula near Shelter Island, Cabrillo National Monument, or the residential streets below Nimitz Blvd, response times can run longer because tow trucks stage out of the Midway area and need to navigate the narrow peninsula roads. Having your AAA card or insurance roadside assistance number saved in your phone saves time—they can dispatch the nearest available truck rather than requiring you to call a specific company.
A standard local tow in the San Diego area typically costs $75 to $150 for the initial hookup plus $3 to $5 per mile after the first five to seven miles. Flatbed towing—required for all-wheel-drive vehicles, lowered cars, or luxury vehicles—runs slightly higher, usually $100 to $200 for the base fee. After-hours, weekend, and holiday calls add a surcharge that can push the total up by $25 to $75.
Insurance roadside assistance plans and AAA memberships typically cover the first tow within a certain mile radius at no cost, making them worthwhile for Point Loma drivers who commute through the peninsula's isolated south end where breakdowns can leave you far from a shop. Without coverage, a tow from Cabrillo National Monument to a Midway District repair shop—roughly five miles—would run around $100 to $175.
If your vehicle is towed for a parking violation or illegally parked on a public street in Point Loma, it will typically be taken to a contracted tow yard. The San Diego Police Department's non-emergency line (619-531-2000) can tell you which yard holds your vehicle. Tow yard storage fees in San Diego generally run $40 to $60 per day, and you'll also owe the initial tow fee when you pick the car up.
Private property tows—from apartment complexes, shopping center lots, or hotel parking areas—are handled by the property's contracted tow company and follow a separate fee schedule. Signage must be posted in California for private lots to legally tow, so check the parking signs before leaving your car. The tow company's name and phone number are required to be on the sign, which gives you the contact for retrieval.
There is no dedicated city tow yard inside Point Loma's borders. Vehicles towed by SDPD or parking enforcement in the Point Loma area are typically taken to contracted yards in the Midway District, Pacific Highway corridor, or nearby Old Town area. The specific yard depends on which towing company is on the rotation list at the time of the tow.
To locate your towed vehicle, call the San Diego Police non-emergency line at 619-531-2000 with your license plate number and vehicle description. They can tell you which yard has the car and its hours. Picking up a vehicle as soon as possible minimizes daily storage fees, which accumulate starting the day of the tow. Bring your registration, valid ID, and cash or card to cover the tow and storage charges.
AAA membership covers towing in Point Loma, with the distance included depending on your membership tier. AAA Classic covers the first five miles of towing (enough to get from most peninsula locations to a Midway District repair shop), while AAA Plus covers up to 100 miles and AAA's top-tier plan covers up to 200 miles per service call.
Calling AAA for a breakdown or flat tire on the south peninsula—near Sunset Cliffs, Shelter Island, or the Cabrillo area—is generally faster than trying to reach a specific local tow company, since AAA dispatches the closest available provider from its network. AAA also covers lockout service, battery jump-starts, and emergency fuel delivery, all of which are useful on the more isolated stretches of Point Loma where Sunset Garage in Ocean Beach is the nearest alternative repair resource to the west.
