Professional roadside assistance from Border Iron Towing, available 24/7.
Call (619) 614-7823Roadside assistance covers the repairs and services we handle right at your breakdown location — before deciding whether you need a tow. Our trucks carry jump boxes, air compressors, hydraulic jacks, and basic tools because getting you rolling again beats loading you onto a flatbed every time. When a Class 8 truck loses air pressure at the Otay Mesa POE, we're not just showing up with jumper cables.
Most calls start the same way: your engine won't turn over, you're stuck in soft dirt, or something's leaking fluid faster than you're comfortable driving. Our dispatch asks the right questions upfront — what you were doing when it quit, what warning lights you're seeing, whether you can hear the starter engage. That information determines which truck we send and what equipment comes with it.
The process is straightforward: we arrive, diagnose the immediate problem, and either fix it on-site or explain why it needs shop work. For commercial drivers, we know you're tracking downtime and delivery windows. Our techs don't waste time with trial-and-error approaches. If your alternator died and killed the battery, we'll jump-start you and explain exactly how far that battery will carry you. If your drive tire is flat but the sidewall is intact, we'll air it up and get you to a tire shop.
Our roadside rigs carry 12V and 24V jump boxes, portable air systems that'll fill a truck tire, hydraulic bottle jacks rated for loaded trailers, and hand tools for basic adjustments. The heavier equipment stays back unless the job requires it — but we've got winches, torch kits, and recovery gear when soft ground or mechanical failure puts you somewhere a standard tow truck can't reach.
Whether it's a car battery or 24V truck system, our jump boxes deliver the amperage needed to turn over diesel engines and get you moving.
Slow leaks and pressure loss get handled with portable compressors — we'll air you up and tell you honestly how far that tire will take you.
Construction sites and unpaved lots around Otay Mesa turn into mud traps — our winch systems pull trucks back onto solid ground.
Keys locked inside happen to everyone, and our techs carry the tools to get you back in without damaging door seals or window mechanisms.
Running empty at the wrong place costs time and money — we bring diesel or gasoline directly to your location.
