As a third generation family-owned and operated business, Van Lingen is southern California's most trusted name in towing and recovery. At Van Lingen, we set out long ago to be the leader in swift, efficient, one-call-and-done towing service for businesses and municipalities alike. Today, thanks to our three convenient locations, computerized dispatching system, sophisticated equipment and experienced staff, we have earned and kept our leadership status and continue to deliver unmatched commitment to the community.
Van Lingen tow trucks typically are at the scene in only 8.1 minutes, far better than the 15-20 minute industry standard. It is important to us that every traffic incident be addressed rapidly. While we're proud that our fast response policy minimizes productivity losses, we know too that we're reducing the chance of secondary accidents.
Our job at Van Lingen goes far beyond towing; we take control of the situation so that police, fire, and emergency responders can get back to work faster, and traffic can return to normal.

Services
All of our strategically-located heavy-duty trucks are equipped with GPS, so we know where they are at all times, what direction they are heading, and how fast they are traveling.
More importantly, we know how close they are to the accident scene, so when you call to ask when our truck will arrive, instead of telling you "soon" or "shortly", we'll tell you "two minutes and 35 seconds".
Over the years, we have evolved into one of the largest, most sophisticated towing & recovery companies in southern California.
