We provide towing services, roadside assistance, and even auto locksmith services to all of you in San Francisco, San Jose, or Oakland. You can contact us anytime you need any of these services and we'll be there right away to help you. Towing services were never easier than they are here with Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose Toro Road Runners.
Services
When it comes to East Bay area towing, there's a reason why you want Toro Road Runners to help you out. Our professional team of technicians is reliable and efficient at providing you with the best service you could need. With our expertise at your disposal, your specific situation will be taken care of in a heartbeat as we speedily take care of your concerns with the utmost of care.
The price of your towing service mainly depends on the type of service you need and the payment for the service call.

After that, the actual cost of the towing service is broken down into the following: the distance covered by the towing, your exact location, or where the car will be picked up, the time you'll have your car towed the type of towing service, the type of car you have (depends on the size-whether you have a sedan, sub-compact, SUV, motorcycle, or truck, among others).
Instead of waiting for hours or days for another towing company to call you back when you're in a towing or roadside emergency situation, call Toro Road Runners. We're open 24/7 to receive your call and will send someone to your side right away. Soon, you'll be receiving the help you need - not stuck waiting on the side of the road for someone to come bail you out.
Any towing job should be handled professionally, this is especially true with heavy-duty towing. The forces exerted when hoisting heavy vehicles (such as motor homes, ROVs, SUVs, minibusses, and trucks) are tremendous, negotiating traffic when driving a tow truck with such a cumbersome load is no simple matter.
Transporting an RV or heavy-duty vehicle isn't easy. It's not just like driving or towing a standard car or even a van - they're heavier, they take up more space on the road and they bring extra safety concerns for yourself and other drivers. That's why it's always best to trust the experts to handle it for you.

PLEASE DON't use this service. He was so rude, he spoke over me, he yelled at me because HE couldn't find parking. What kind of service is this? Not worth the price. DONT use this service. PLEASE save your money!

Horrible service. I called for a flatbed at 520 and was told it would take 45min. I called again at 550 and was told the driver had just been dispatched at 545 and it should only be 20-30min now. I didn't get a truck until 650 and it wasn't a flatbed for my all wheel drive. Now my bank is fighting them for the cancellation fee they charged me.

The worst towing company jumped from $185 to $640 to pull out my cars out of the mud. The Driver seems hungry the Company might abuse him.

Towing itself was fine. Issue was we had made an appointment to have the car towed (it was on a side street so we could schedule). Showed up an hour late (never knew there could be so many "he will be there in 5-10 minutes" in an hour. Big issue we had agreed to a price when he called but driver charged us $80 more. When we questioned it, the driver rudely demanded the extra $80 and made it clear we wouldn't get the car back without the extra $80.

Martin C was professional at all times. He is a very cautious driver. I was impressed by his skills. He has a lot of experience and took the time to not only help me but also educate me about my car and what to do if something goes wrong. I will definitely call Toro Road Runners and ask for Martin C again!

This morning I woke up to my company car not starting. I found the first tow company that Google provided me with. Within less than 30 minutes a service man help me change my battery. Really nice individual I believe his name was Guy. Altogether took total of an hour to change everything out.

I definitely recommend this service company

Got a quote for $400 (a minimum of two hour job at $200/hour), after the quote and lots of back forth and unfriendly customer support I called Roza Roadside Assistance, Phil came out promptly and did the job for $100.

Not sure how Google gave them above 4 stars. Fake reviews. Avoid if possible absolutely. Dispatcers are liars and crooks. They said pick up an hours. Over 3 hours did not come. They say you can not cancel services or you will be charge $50.as other people have complained. Very shady. Avoid as possible.

I called the 800-600-0676 and asked a simple question if they impounded vehicles and this lady answered "no" and immediately hung up on me at 12:18PM on 06/24/2019. This company needs better customer service. What if in the future I wanted to call this company? Now I'm gonna remember forever to not call them because they had horrible customer services.

After a disastrous experience with a different tow company that kept saying they were on the way and left me stranded for 3 hours.. I called Toro Road Runners at 11:30pm. Their front desk was so helpful and they had someone there to help me in 15 minutes! The driver was so helpful, nice, and professional. Toro really helped me out!

These guys rescued me when my rx7 overheated on highway 24. They got me out of my situation quickly on a very nice truck. The driver was extremely friendly and got me and my car to a nearby service center. Thank you for getting me on a Sunday!

My battery died in my car well after midnight in my friend's apartment complex parking lot. I called Toro and they had driver out to me within the hour of my initial call. I was assisted by Chris who was very friendly and helpful to me. Chris is the man! I felt like he was my savior in the middle of the night to make sure I got home safely. Thank you Chris for your professionalism, kind demeanor & for laughing with me about the unique & interesting set of circumstances surrounding how & why my car battery died.

Amazing service! Dispatch team was extremely helpful and the driver was the best ever. I was in a very hard area to find (San Pablo Reservoir) but he took his time to find it, called me to keep me updated on this ETA. He has the car loaded in mins and we were off. He was extremely careful with my car, drove really well. We had a great conversation all the way to San Jose. Unloading the car at the shop and parking it in safe location was handled professionally. Highly recommend Toro Road Runners.

Yesterday I got a flat tire and because I don't have a spare I needed a tow truck to tow me to a tire place to have it repaired. i called Toro Road Runners and ordered the tow. i was told on the phone that I needed to secure the truck with a credit card and it would be a $45 dollar cancellation fee if I canceled the truck. The car was on the corner of Lakeshore Ave and Bolden Way in Oakland CA.
I found a tire place (Rouse tires 2340 Harrison St., Oakland who are great!!!) .6 miles (slightly over a half mile) from my location that could take my car.
The tow truck came and towed me to the

The driver Ben showed up on time which was approximately 15min after ordering the tow for a company vehicle. We had a 40min drive together to the drop destination and had great friendly conversation to make the time go by faster. His driving was safe and the tow cab was kept clean. He was very quick and thorough loading the vehicle as well as unloading the vehicle. I usually don’t write a review on companies but this one was worth mentioning as I found it the best tow experience i have ever had in my 40yr lifetime. Thanks for the great service and conversation Ben! Keep up the excellent work

I can't believe you got one of the best tow truck drivers out to me so quickly. 5 stars to Heidi and Toro Road Runners!

This company is actually operating under emergency towing oakland. But the receipt for them states toro road runners. This website:

http://towing-oakland.com/jump-start-battery/

They are crooked scammers! Charged me $145 for a jump start! They took super long to get there, despite the 30 min guarantee and jump started my car in 1 min & charged me an astronomical amount of money when they LIED by not staying within the 30 min. The estimated time frame. Beware this company!!!! They have companies all over the Bay Area so make sure you don't go with any of them!! Their website states it
