What We Tow
Towing & roadside, all in one call
A full-service fleet for cars, trucks, equipment, and everything in between across the Bay Area
Whether you need a tow or roadside assistance, the right equipment and proper techniques make all the difference. Professional towing companies use different equipment depending on the type of vehicle and the situation, including flatbed tow trucks and wheel-lift wreckers. Four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles often require a flatbed or a wheel-lift with dollies, while many two-wheel-drive vehicles can be safely transported with a wheel-lift or flatbed. Before your vehicle is moved, it must be properly loaded and secured to help prevent damage to the tires, wheels, drivetrain, body, and other components. From roadside assistance to vehicle recovery and towing, trained professionals use the appropriate equipment and securement methods to get your vehicle where it needs to go safely.
“The right equipment and proper securement make all the difference when it comes to moving your vehicle safely.”
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A PROFESSIONAL TOW
When you need a tow, the truck is only part of the job. The right equipment, careful loading, clear communication, and an experienced operator all help protect your vehicle from pickup to drop-off.
Why B & A
Half a century of doing it right
Anyone can hook a chain. Moving your vehicle without a scratch takes the right equipment and a driver who knows how to use it — that’s the difference we’ve built since 1968.
Straight Answers On Cost
WHAT A TOW ACTUALLY COSTS
Every situation is different, so we quote you upfront before we roll — no surprises when the truck arrives.
When you call for a tow or roadside assistance, the cost of towing reflects much more than simply the time it takes to move your vehicle. Towing companies must maintain tow trucks and specialized equipment, pay for fuel, insurance, maintenance, licensing, employee wages, training, dispatching, and the other costs required to remain available 24/7. These operating expenses are spread across the number of towing and roadside assistance calls a company handles, creating an average cost per service. A reasonable profit margin is then added to that cost so the company can continue operating and providing reliable service when motorists need help. In other words, the price of a tow reflects the actual cost of keeping qualified equipment and drivers available around the clock—not just the few miles your vehicle is transported.
“When you pay for a tow, you’re paying for more than transportation. You’re paying for the equipment, trained professionals, and 24/7 availability needed to provide the service.”
