Question 1

How quickly can you get to me in Inglewood?

Accepted Answer

Our average response time in Inglewood and surrounding areas is 15-30 minutes. Since we're based right here on W 108th St, we know every street and shortcut to reach you fast - day or night.

Question 2

What is the minimum cost for a tow in Inglewood?

Accepted Answer

In the Inglewood and South Bay area, the minimum cost for a local tow typically starts around $75-$95 for the hookup, plus a per-mile rate (usually $3-$7 per mile) once we are en route. Heavy vehicles, flatbed loads, and after-hours calls can add a small surcharge. Segura's Towing always quotes the full price up front before we dispatch - no surprises when the truck arrives. Call (310) 490-0246 for an exact rate based on your situation.

Question 3

What is the cheapest way to tow a car?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest way to tow a car is a short-distance, local wheel-lift tow during regular daytime hours, called from a transparent local company that quotes a flat hookup fee plus a clear per-mile rate. Avoid hourly billing, 'starting at' prices, and dispatchers who won't commit to a number on the phone. For a stranded local vehicle in Inglewood or the South Bay, calling Segura's Towing directly at (310) 490-0246 is almost always cheaper than going through a third-party roadside app, because there's no middleman markup.

Question 4

What is the 80% rule for towing?

Accepted Answer

The 80% rule (sometimes called the 80/20 rule) is a safety guideline that says you should never tow more than 80% of your vehicle's maximum towing capacity. So if your truck is rated to tow 10,000 lbs, the safest real-world load is 8,000 lbs or less. The 20% buffer protects your transmission, brakes, and suspension from heat and stress, especially on long drives, hills, and freeway speeds.

Question 5

Under what circumstances can a car be towed?

Accepted Answer

In California, a car can legally be towed if it is parked illegally on private property without permission, blocking a driveway, hydrant, or fire lane, abandoned for 72+ hours on a public street, involved in an accident and unsafe to drive, parked in a tow-away zone, or involved in a vehicle code violation like expired registration over 6 months. If your car was towed and you don't know where, call the Inglewood Police non-emergency line.

Question 6

Will AAA tow me for free?

Accepted Answer

AAA includes a limited number of free tows per year as part of your membership - typically 5 miles for Classic, 100 miles for Plus, and 200 miles for Premier - but only up to your covered mileage. Anything beyond that is charged to you. AAA also dispatches whichever local tow contractor is closest, and you don't get to choose who shows up. If you want a specific company you trust, you'll usually pay out of pocket and submit the receipt to AAA for partial reimbursement.

What is the average price to tow a car in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

As of 2026, the average price to tow a car in the Los Angeles and South Bay area is roughly $95-$175 for a standard local tow under 10 miles. Flatbed towing runs about 20-30% higher than a wheel-lift tow. Long-distance tows are billed per mile after the first 5-10 miles, with rates of $3-$7/mile being typical.
