How Fremont Electric Vehicle Towing Works
Our towing process in Fremont is designed to be simple, safe, and stress-free. From your first call to the final drop-off, we handle every step with professionalism and transparency.
1
Call and confirm your EV
Call (510) 876-9111. Tell us your EV make, model, and location. We confirm a flatbed is dispatched – not a wheel-lift or dolly rig. Estimated arrival time given immediately.
2
Wait safely, we track you
Stay in your vehicle with hazard lights on if it’s safe to do so. Our driver sends an ETA update when en route. We advise you on the safest waiting position based on your location (freeway shoulder, parking lot, residential street).
3
Flatbed loading and battery-safe transport
Our driver positions the flatbed, uses low-angle loading to protect the battery pack’s undercarriage, and secures your EV with manufacturer-approved tie-down points. We transport to your home, a Tesla Service Center, dealership, or any Fremont-area repair facility – your choice.
Why EVs must be towed on flatbed tow truck
Most towing companies in the Bay Area use wheel-lift or dolly rigs. For a gasoline car, that’s fine. For an electric vehicle, it can permanently damage the regenerative braking system and the motor windings – a repair bill that can exceed $8,000. Here’s why flatbed is the only safe option for your EV:
- All-wheel and dual-motor EVs (Tesla Model 3 AWD, Model Y, Rivian R1T/R1S) cannot have any axle dragging freely. Towing on two wheels spins the unpowered motor, generating back-EMF that overheats the inverter.
- Flatbed transport keeps all four wheels completely off the road surface – zero motor rotation, zero risk.
Fremont Towing‘s fleet is flatbed-equipped for every EV call. We don’t dispatch a wheel-lift truck and hope for the best.

EV Fremont Towing: Customer Testimonials
Hear from our satisfied customers who rely on Fremont Towing for prompt, professional roadside assistance. Their experiences reflect our commitment to quality service.
My Tesla Model Y lost charge on I-880 near the Fremont Auto Mall and I had no idea who handles EV towing properly. Fremont Towing showed up with a flatbed – no wheel lift, which is exactly what Tesla owners need. The driver knew not to put it in neutral the wrong way and loaded it without drama. Had me to the service center in 30 minutes. If you drive an EV in Fremont, save this number.
Thomas K. Fremont, CA
Ran out of charge on Mission Boulevard at about 11pm – completely dead, couldn’t even put it in neutral. Called Fremont Towing and they specifically asked what EV I had before dispatching. That told me they knew what they were doing. Flatbed arrived in under 25 minutes, driver strapped it down properly, and I was home before midnight. Way better experience than I expected at that hour.
Daniel M. Fremont, CA
I actually googled ‘can you tow an electric vehicle safely’ before calling because I was worried about battery damage. Fremont Towing was the first result that came up for EV towing in Fremont, and when I called they confirmed they only use flatbed trucks for EVs – never a wheel lift. My Rivian R1T made it to the dealership with zero damage. First towing company I’ve used that actually understood EV requirements.

1
Can you tow a Tesla without damaging it?
Yes. All Tesla models (including AWD variants) must be towed on a flatbed with all four wheels off the ground. We use flatbed-only equipment for every Tesla call. We never use a wheel-lift or tow dolly on a Tesla.
2
What should I do if I need a tow truck?
Call our 24/7 Fremont hotline at +1 (510) 876-9111 with your location and vehicle details, and we’ll dispatch help immediately.
3
How much does EV towing cost in Fremont?
We provide a transparent estimate before dispatching. Local EV towing within Fremont typically runs $95–$175 depending on distance and time of day. There are no nighttime, weekend, or holiday surcharges. Call (510) 876-9111 for an exact quote.
4
My EV battery is completely dead — can you still tow it?
Absolutely. A completely discharged battery does not affect our ability to load and tow your vehicle on the flatbed. We don’t need the vehicle to be running or in neutral – our loading process handles zero-charge EVs safely.
5
Can you tow my EV to a Tesla Service Center or dealership?
Yes. We transport to any destination you choose – your home, the Tesla Service Center in Fremont or San Jose, a third-party EV repair shop, or any other location within our service area (Fremont, Newark, Union City, Milpitas, San Jose, Hayward).
6
Is a flatbed tow truck safe for low-clearance EVs like the Tesla Model S?
Yes. Our flatbeds use a low-angle hydraulic tilt that accommodates low ground-clearance vehicles. The Tesla Model S (4.6-inch clearance) and Lucid Air (4.3-inch clearance) load without any scraping or undercarriage contact.
