2 months agoMY man... Angel hooked it up today. As a female, being stranded on the side of the road by the coliseum is really not the business, but my phone had also DIED so I was beyond stressed. S&F Towing showed up within 10 minutes and got my baby loaded up and safely transported to my shop on their beautiful flatbed. Excellent service and friendly communication goes a long way in these situations and they DID that. -

4 months agoUsed to tow my inoperable Chevy Volt out my work parking garage with 8 foot clearance. S&F were responsive professionals who helped me out at a very fair price. Happy to hear it was supporting a family owned business too. That personal touch shows and makes a big difference. Thanks again fellas! -

FAQ
How does S&F Towing determine towing prices?
We offer a basic local towing service at $150 for transport within 10 miles when the vehicle has keys, can shift into neutral, and can be steered for safe loading. Intermediate services for complex jobs like low-clearance towing or recoveries without keys are billed hourly at $225. Pricing depends on job complexity, distance, and vehicle condition, with both pickup and drop-off locations confirmed before dispatch.
Are you licensed and insured for towing services?
S&F Towing is a family-owned business established in 2006, operating 24/7 from Oakland, CA, with operators who handle vehicles carefully during loading and transport. Our team ensures drivers get home safe after every job. We accept major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, and American Express for payments.
Does S&F Towing handle low-clearance garage tows or tricky recoveries?
We specialize in light-duty tows and tricky recoveries from low-clearance garages, angled driveways, and tight parking structures using intermediate services for lowered vehicles and special equipment. Our operators load vehicles securely onto flatbed trucks, as shown with cars like Chevy Volts, Mercedes sedans, and Lotus sports cars. This approach works for underground garages or situations where standard towing won't fit.
What is your typical arrival time for roadside assistance?
Your call connects you to our 24/7 towing service available every day of the week, with responsive communication to confirm details before dispatch. We provide around-the-clock roadside rescues for breakdowns, overheatings, or freeway issues, getting operators to you efficiently. Expect clear updates on timing once the job scope is verified.
Does S&F Towing clean up after a tow job?
We treat every job with care, ensuring the tow site is left as we found it with no debris or mess from loading operations. Operators secure vehicles properly on flatbed trucks to avoid damage or spills during transport. You and your family are prioritized for safety, often with options to ride along in our clean trucks.
Why is professional towing safer than trying a DIY recovery?
Our operators use specialized flatbed trucks and equipment for safe loading of vehicles in tight spots, preventing damage that DIY methods like winching or pushing often cause. We handle specifics like no keys, broken axles, or low-profile cars that require professional techniques for secure transport. This ensures both the vehicle and occupants stay safe without risking further injury or property issues.
