Perris Towing for Freeways, Warehouses and Lake Days

18 miles from our San Jacinto yard. Dispatch answers 24 hours a day.

Towing in Perris. 18 miles from our yard. ZIP 92570 92571. I-215. Ramona Expressway. SR-74. Call (951) 355-4290.

Perris is a freeway town now. I-215 cuts through the middle, the Ramona Expressway feeds in from the east, and huge distribution centers line the north side of the city. Perris towing covers everything from sedans on the freeway shoulder to cargo vans and box trucks that broke down after a delivery run.

Nick's Towing San Jacinto runs out of San Jacinto, about 18 miles east along the Ramona Expressway. For a tow, jump or lockout anywhere in Perris, call (951) 355-4290.

Give us the nearest exit, building number or cross street and we'll get rolling.

I-215 and Ramona Expressway Calls

Between Perris Blvd, the Ramona Expressway interchange and the southern exits toward Menifee, I-215 sees constant breakdowns. Overheating, blown tires and empty gas tanks top the list. For simple problems our fuel delivery and roadside crew can get you moving again without a tow.

The Ramona Expressway is busy with trucks headed to and from the warehouse district, and crashes there tend to be hard. If you're involved in one, stay safe, let law enforcement handle the scene, and call us when the vehicle needs to be moved.

Traffic through Perris often slows sharply near the interchanges, and rear-end crashes follow. If you're hit and the car still drives safely, move off the freeway to the next exit before exchanging information.

Perris Towing for Delivery Vans and Box Trucks

The warehouse district along Harley Knox Blvd and Placentia Ave keeps a lot of last-mile delivery vehicles on the road — cargo vans, sprinter vans, and box trucks. When one breaks down mid-route, the driver needs it off the street quickly.

We handle light and medium-duty vehicles in that range. Our medium-duty towing page explains which trucks we can take. We don't tow fully loaded semis, but we'll tell you right away if your vehicle is beyond our equipment.

Lake Perris, Skydiving and Weekend Traffic

Lake Perris State Recreation Area brings boaters, campers and swimmers from all over Southern California. On summer weekends we see cars with dead batteries in the parking areas, keys locked inside while everyone's on the beach, and trucks that struggled hauling a boat up the hill to the lake.

Perris is also home to the Southern California Railway Museum and a busy skydiving center at the Perris Valley Airport, which bring out-of-town visitors who don't know the area. If that's you, give us the nearest entrance or parking lot and we'll find you.

Heading home from the lake with a boat behind you? Check the trailer tires and wheel bearings before you leave. Hot pavement and a heavy load are hard on both, and a trailer blowout on the hill down from the lake is a rough way to end the day.

Night-Shift Calls at the Distribution Centers

Warehouses in Perris run around the clock, and so do we. Workers coming off a late shift sometimes find a dead battery or a flat tire in a huge parking lot at 2 a.m., with security patrols and gated entrances in between them and help.

When you call, tell us the building number, which gate you're closest to, and where your car is parked. A jump start usually gets you home, and if it doesn't, we'll tow the car wherever you want it. Many sites require check-in at the guard shack, so let security know a tow truck is coming.

Downtown and Residential Perris

In the older neighborhoods around downtown and the Metrolink Perris stations, calls are more everyday: dead batteries, flat tires, and cars that need to go to a mechanic. Newer tracts in the south and east of the city have their own share of driveway no-starts.

We also handle private property impounds for apartment complexes and businesses that need unauthorized vehicles removed, following California's posting and notice rules.

We'll tow to whichever shop makes the most sense for the repair, whether that's in Perris itself, Moreno Valley, Menifee, or back toward the San Jacinto Valley.

Towing in Perris: questions

Can you tow a cargo van or box truck from a Perris warehouse?

We tow many cargo vans, sprinter vans and smaller box trucks that fall within light and medium duty. Give us the make, model, approximate weight and whether it's loaded. If it's too heavy for our equipment, we'll tell you right away so you can call a heavy-duty company.

I locked my keys in the car at Lake Perris. Can you get there?

Yes. Tell us which entrance or parking area you're in, and we'll come to you. Keep in mind that the recreation area has its own entry rules and fees, so allow a little extra time. Our lockout service opens most vehicles without damage.

Do you offer private property towing for Perris apartment complexes?

Yes. We handle private property impounds for apartment communities and businesses in Perris. California requires proper signage and authorization from the property owner or manager. We'll walk you through the setup so towing is legal and properly documented.

How long does it take you to get to Perris?

Perris is about 18 miles from our San Jacinto base, roughly 25 minutes via the Ramona Expressway in normal traffic. Truck traffic and I-215 congestion can add time, and we'll give you a realistic estimate when you call.
