A Towing Story Built on Experience, Integrity, and Community

From a Single Truck to a Trusted Name in Towing

Every towing company has a truck. What sets us apart is the person behind the wheel — and the story behind the service.

Hernandez Towing Service LLC was founded by Oscar, a seasoned towing operator with over a decade of hands-on experience helping stranded drivers, recovering wrecked vehicles, and transporting everything from classic cars to construction equipment. What began as a one-person operation in Salinas, California has grown into a trusted towing provider across Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties.

Before launching the company, Oscar spent years working under pressure as a AAA-certified technician during his time at Rossi Towing. It was there he learned what it truly meant to be dependable — not just showing up, but showing up with professionalism, calm under stress, and the tools to solve the problem right.

Driven by Safety and Service

Oscar started Hernandez Towing because he believed in doing things differently — focusing not just on towing cars, but on helping people.

Local Knowledge Matters

Knowing the backroads of San Benito or the traffic patterns of downtown Santa Cruz isn’t just helpful — it saves time in emergencies.

We Prioritize People First

Towing isn’t just about vehicles. It’s about people — families, workers, travelers — who need a safe, stress-free experience.

Training That Stays With You

That AAA-level training still guides how we work today. It’s not just about credentials — it’s about consistency, care, and smart decision-making on the road.

Our Commitment to the Community
