About Cardiff by the Sea Tow Service
A locally owned towing company in Cardiff, CA built on honesty, fast response, and real care for every driver we help.
Who We Are
Cardiff by the Sea Tow Service was founded in 2025 with one simple idea: drivers in Cardiff, CA deserve a towing company that actually shows up on time, charges what they quote, and handles every vehicle with care. We started small because we wanted to stay focused on the people we serve.
We are a family-owned business, which means when you call us, you are talking to someone who takes your situation personally. We do not have a thousand drivers spread across multiple states. We know the streets of Cardiff, Encinitas, Solana Beach, and the surrounding communities, and that local knowledge lets us get to you faster than a national chain ever could.
Our team is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Every driver goes through hands-on training before they handle a customer vehicle. We invest in the right equipment because we believe your car deserves more than the cheapest available option. Whether we are doing a simple jump start service or recovering a vehicle after a collision, we bring the same level of attention to every job.
Since opening, we have been recognized within the local community for our commitment to fast, transparent service. We are members in good standing with the Towing and Recovery Association of America (TRAA) and follow all California Department of Motor Vehicles towing industry standards. Our operating credentials are current and we carry full commercial liability coverage for your protection.
From the very first call you make to the moment your vehicle is safely delivered, your experience with us should feel professional, easy, and stress-free. That is the standard we hold ourselves to every single day. Head back to our home page to see everything we offer.

Our Mission: No Driver Left Behind
When we talk about our mission, it really comes down to one thing: nobody should have to sit on the side of the road feeling helpless. A car breaking down is stressful enough on its own. The company you call should make that moment easier, not harder.
We built Cardiff by the Sea Tow Service around that belief. Every decision we make comes back to it. How fast do we answer the phone? How quickly do we dispatch? How clearly do we communicate pricing? How carefully do we handle your vehicle? These are not small details. They are the entire job.
We offer a full range of services to handle nearly any roadside situation. Need your car towed after an accident? We do that. Locked out at a parking lot? We do that too. Dead battery in the morning before work? We will have you going in minutes. For larger vehicles and commercial jobs, our heavy duty towing service is equipped to handle the load.
We are also committed to clear communication at every step. You will know when we are on our way, how long until we arrive, and exactly what you will pay before we do any work. No surprises. No pressure. Just the help you need, done right.
For anyone stuck far from home, our long distance towing service makes it possible to get your vehicle safely back or to a repair shop no matter where you are headed. We take every mile as seriously as the first one.
