The stretch of I-15 and I-40 through San Bernardino County is one of the most remote highway environments in the lower 48. Exits can be 20 miles apart. Summer surface temperatures pass 120°F. Cell service drops out in the dips. A roadside plan that dispatches from a call center 200 miles away and tells you "60–90 minutes" is a genuine safety problem here, not an inconvenience.
City Towing is based at 251 Cal Ave in Barstow. Our trucks are on the corridor already. In-town calls (Barstow, Lenwood, Daggett, Yermo) run 15–30 minutes. Hinkley, Helendale and Newberry Springs 15–45. Fort Irwin, Ludlow and Lucerne Valley 45–60. Baker and the far corridor an hour plus. We tell you the honest number when you call, and we carry water on every truck for a reason.
Have a roadside plan? Call us anyway.
We run calls for most of the major motor-club and insurance roadside programs, so there's a good chance the truck your plan sends is ours. But the plan's queue adds time. If you call 760-256-5007 directly, we can roll immediately and give you an invoice to submit to your plan for reimbursement. When it's 2 a.m. and 40°F on the Yermo shoulder, that's the difference that matters.
Save the number before you need it
Nobody plans a breakdown. Put 760-256-5007 — City Towing Barstow in your phone now, especially if you drive I-15 to Vegas regularly, run I-40 for work, or take the family out to Calico, Johnson Valley or the Mojave Preserve.
