From Ventura Blvd up into the canyons, a flatbed and one price quoted before it leaves the yard. We average under 30 minutes in Studio City.
Ventura Boulevard is Studio City's main street. It is lined with restaurants, small shops and valet stands, and street parking that fills up fast. The calls from the strip are about evenings and weekends: a car that will not start after a meal, a lockout outside a restaurant, a flat tire in a metered space. Give us the cross street and which side of Ventura you are on.
Tujunga Ave, a few blocks north of the boulevard, has its own run of shops and cafes. The same advice applies: the cross street gets us there faster than the neighborhood name.
South of Ventura the hills start, and the roads that climb them are narrow, steep and curving. A car that quits on Laurel Canyon Blvd or Coldwater Canyon Ave has few places to pull over, and traffic passes close. The side streets are tighter still, with cars parked on both sides and driveways cut into the hill. We look at the road ahead of time, and we tell you if the truck needs a wider spot to work.
If you can roll the car to a safe spot, do. If you cannot, hazards on and stay out of the lane.
Studio City driveways can be steep, and cars on them are often parked nose in. Tell us if yours is. Tell us if the parking brake is set, if the car is in park, and whether a gate or a garage door is in the way. It lets us pick the setup before we arrive instead of figuring it out in your driveway at midnight. Cars that sit low need more room at the bottom of a slope, and that is part of what we ask on the call.
We load on the flatbed with soft straps and photograph the car at pickup and drop-off. More on our towing page.
The 101 runs along the north edge of Studio City, with the 170 joining it just to the east. The 134 is not far past that. A car stopped on a freeway shoulder here needs the freeway, the direction and the nearest exit. Stay buckled in if you cannot get clear of traffic, and call 911 first if you are in danger.
There is a studio lot on Radford Ave, and the lots and offices around a studio generate calls at odd hours: a vehicle that has to move before a call time, a dead battery in a crew lot. If your work moves vehicles regularly, see the fleet and dealer page.
A tow is quoted up front, and the price does not change with the hill. Tell us where the car is, where it is going and what you drive, and the number you hear is the number at drop-off.
Every job is quoted up front. Call or text (213) 431-9420 with where the car is and what you drive. You get a real number in minutes, confirmed before we roll, and it is the same number at drop-off. How instant quotes work.
91604, with the edges of 91602 and 91423.
We look at the slope and the traffic before we set up. The truck comes in at the angle that works, the car goes on in a controlled pull, and the parking brake and the wheel position matter more than anything. Tell us on the call which way the car faces and if the brake is set.
Give us the cross street, which direction you are facing and which side of the road. Laurel Canyon has few places to stop, so if you can roll the car to a wide spot, do it. Hazards on, and stay out of the lane.
Studio City is in our wider core area, where our average is under 30 minutes. Ventura Blvd gets slow at rush hour, so the exact ETA depends on the hour, and you hear it on the call.
Call or text the street and what you drive. You get one price and an ETA, then we roll.
