If you searched for towing near me, this page shows where help is available. Santa Ynez Towing connects callers with licensed and insured local contractors in Santa Ynez, the nearby towns, and the rest of Santa Barbara County.
The valley is spread out, and many of its roads are two lanes. A clear description of where you are makes a real difference when you call (805) 693-7957.
Towns and roads we cover
The service area follows the valley's main roads:
- Solvang, 3.4 miles from Santa Ynez, where State Route 246 runs through town as Mission Drive.
- Los Olivos, 4.6 miles away, where State Route 154 begins as a spur from U.S. Route 101. Grand Avenue and Alamo Pintado Road are also here.
- Buellton, 7.1 miles away, at the junction of U.S. 101 and State Route 246. Avenue of Flags and Santa Rosa Road are nearby.
- Los Alamos, 16.2 miles away on U.S. 101, in the Los Alamos Valley on the far side of the Purisima Hills.
In and around Santa Ynez, calls can also come from roads like Edison Street, Refugio Road, Roblar Avenue, Alisal Road, Baseline Avenue and Ballard Canyon Road. The Ballard, Jonata Park and Rancho Santa Ynez areas are covered too.
Highways and mountain stretches
State Route 154, also called the Chumash Highway, runs past Lake Cachuma and through Los Padres National Forest. It then climbs over San Marcos Pass toward Santa Barbara. It is a two-lane road with only occasional passing lanes and tops out near 2,000 feet, so a breakdown there can leave you a long way from town.
State Route 246 follows the Santa Ynez River and is mostly two lanes between Buellton, Solvang and Santa Ynez.
How to describe your location
Give the dispatcher the road name and your direction of travel. Add the nearest cross street or landmark, such as the Chumash Casino Resort, Santa Ynez Airport, Mission Santa Inés or Lake Cachuma. On rural roads, mention the last turn you passed or the last sign you saw.
Also have your vehicle's year, make and model ready. Say whether it rolls and steers, and where you want it taken. If you are on a highway, get as far off the road as you safely can and turn on your hazard lights. Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or the road is blocked.
The dispatcher quotes the price on the phone before a truck is sent. When you are ready, call (805) 693-7957 and tell them where you are.
