Towing Assistance to Perry's Quality Auto

Towing to Our Simi Valley Shop

Perry's Quality Auto Repair doesn't operate a tow truck directly, but we work closely with several reputable towing companies in the Simi Valley area. If your vehicle won't start or isn't safe to drive, give us a call. We'll connect you with a trusted local tow operator and make sure your vehicle is expected when it arrives.

Before You Call a Tow Truck

Insurance and Roadside Coverage

Many auto insurance policies and credit cards include roadside assistance with free towing up to a certain distance. Before you pay out of pocket, check your insurance card or app for a roadside number. AAA, Allstate, GEICO, USAA, and most other major carriers offer this.

What Happens When Your Vehicle Arrives

Tell the tow operator to drop your vehicle at 2180 First St, Suite C-10 in Simi Valley. If you've called us in advance, we'll have a parking spot ready. If we're closed when the tow arrives, the operator can drop the vehicle in our lot and we'll start diagnosis first thing the next business morning.

After-Hours Drop-Off

Need to leave your vehicle outside business hours? Our lot is monitored. Just leave your keys in the drop box and a note with your name, phone number, and the issue you're experiencing. We'll call you with a diagnosis and estimate before doing any work.

How Much Does Towing Cost in Simi Valley?

Local tow costs in the Simi Valley area typically run $75 to $150 for a hook-up plus a per-mile rate, depending on the operator and distance. Flatbed tows for lower vehicles or all-wheel-drive cars usually cost more than a standard wheel-lift tow. Many insurance policies and credit cards include a set amount of towing coverage per year, so it is worth checking before paying out of pocket. When you call us first, we can point you toward operators our other customers have used and had good experiences with.

When a Tow Might Be Covered

If your vehicle is already under warranty for a repair we performed, towing related to that same issue may be reimbursable depending on your policy. Our 2-Year/24,000-Mile warranty covers parts and labor on the original repair, and we're happy to help you document the tow if you need to file a claim with your insurance or an extended warranty provider.

Common Reasons Simi Valley Drivers Need a Tow

• Dead battery that won't jump, common after a car sits for a while or in extreme heat
• Overheating engine, never keep driving on a hot gauge, this is one of the most common reasons for a tow-in we see
• Transmission failure or won't shift, driving further can turn a repair into a replacement
• Flat tire with no usable spare, especially on newer vehicles that don't include a full-size spare
• Accident or collision damage, when the vehicle isn't safe to drive
• Flashing check engine light, indicates an active misfire, stop driving and get towed

Why Tow to an Independent Shop Instead of a Dealer

Dealership tow-ins often mean a longer wait for diagnosis and dealer labor rates. Towing directly to Perry's gets your vehicle in front of an ASE Certified technician faster, with up-front pricing and the same 2-Year/24,000-Mile warranty you'd expect from a dealer, without the dealer markup.
