Serving Martinez, CA and surrounding areas. (925) 723-9009
Your vehicle was towed and you need it back. One call tells you where it is, what you owe, and exactly what to bring to get it released today.
Vehicle storage in Martinez means your car, truck, or motorcycle is held in a secured, fenced lot after a tow, with condition documented on arrival and charges accruing each day until you retrieve it - most releases happen within one to two business days once you have the right documents in hand.
Vehicles end up in storage through police-ordered tows after accidents or violations, private-property tows from lots and complexes, or tows you arranged yourself after a breakdown. In any of those cases, knowing where your vehicle is and what you owe is the first thing to figure out. If your vehicle was towed following a collision, our accident recovery team can help coordinate the tow and initial placement so you have fewer calls to make.
The Martinez area sits at the junction of I-680 and Highway 4, two of Contra Costa County's busiest corridors. Incidents along those routes happen at all hours, which means vehicles can arrive at a storage yard before the owner even knows the tow happened. Acting quickly protects you from daily charges accumulating while you sort out the details.
If your vehicle is gone and you did not arrange the tow, start with the Martinez Police Department (city streets) or the California Highway Patrol (I-680, Highway 4). They can confirm whether a police-ordered tow occurred and which storage facility has the vehicle. Waiting to call means storage fees are already running.
California law requires that you be notified when your vehicle is towed and stored, typically by mail to the registered owner's address. If that letter arrives, act immediately - daily charges have already been accumulating since the tow date, and the longer you wait, the higher the total bill you will face at release.
Private-property tows in California must follow specific signage and authorization rules. If you believe the tow was improper, you still have options - but retrieving your vehicle first and disputing the charges afterward is almost always faster. Waiting while you dispute does not pause the daily storage charges.
If you are out of town, waiting on insurance, or dealing with the aftermath of an accident on I-680 or Highway 4, contact the facility right away. Keeping communication open does not stop the charges, but it keeps you informed about your balance and whether any extended-storage options are available while you work out next steps.
Our storage facility serves the full range of towing situations that happen in and around Martinez. After a police-ordered tow from the I-680 or Highway 4 corridor, your vehicle is logged in with its condition documented and held in a fenced, monitored lot. We also accept vehicles from privately arranged tows - if you called us after a breakdown and your vehicle is not drivable while you sort out repairs, it can stay with us. If you need to get your vehicle to our yard first, our medium duty towing team handles box trucks, RVs, and large work vehicles that do not fit a standard tow.
For vehicles involved in collisions or roadside incidents, storage is often the bridge between the tow and the next step - an insurance adjuster visit, a repair authorization, or a decision about whether the vehicle is worth repairing. We work with insurance companies regularly and understand the timing pressures that come with a total-loss or heavy-damage situation. If the original incident involved a more complex tow, our police towing team can walk you through how the tow was authorized and what the release process looks like from there.
Suits anyone whose vehicle was towed and needs a safe holding location while they gather documents or make decisions about repairs.
Suits Bay Area commuters and anyone who cannot reach the facility during standard business hours and needs an evening or weekend pickup.
Suits owners waiting on insurance adjuster visits, repair authorizations, or total-loss determinations who need more time before deciding next steps.
Suits anyone who wants a clear record of their vehicle's condition on intake and a full, line-by-line breakdown of charges before they pay.
Martinez sits at the crossing of I-680 and Highway 4 - two of the busiest commuter and freight corridors in Contra Costa County. Accidents, breakdowns, and enforcement stops along these routes happen around the clock, and vehicles from those incidents regularly end up in local storage yards before the owner has had any notice. The industrial waterfront, with its steady flow of commercial trucks and service vehicles, adds to that volume. A reliable, local storage facility that knows these corridors and works with CHP regularly is a practical resource for anyone in this area.
Bay Area commute patterns make fast access to storage information especially important here. Many Martinez residents drive to Oakland, San Francisco, or other Bay Area destinations, which means they may not discover a vehicle has been towed until they return home in the evening. By then, the day's storage charge has already run. Neighbors in Concord and Benicia face the same reality - the I-680 corridor connects all of these communities, and tow rotations can place a vehicle at a yard that serves the broader area rather than just one city.
Call the law-enforcement agency that ordered the tow - Martinez PD for city streets, CHP for I-680 or Highway 4. They confirm the storage yard. If the tow was private-property, the lot notice or property manager identifies the company.
One call to our facility gives you the current total, the daily rate, the release hours, and exactly which documents to bring. We respond to inquiries within one business day and can often answer same-day for urgent situations.
Bring your government-issued photo ID and proof of ownership - registration or title. If a law-enforcement release is required, obtain that first before coming to the lot to avoid a wasted trip.
We present a full itemized statement before you pay. Walk the vehicle and compare it to our intake documentation before driving away. Any questions about line items get answered at the window, not after the fact.

(925) 723-9009Our facility sits near the I-680 and Highway 4 corridors, which means shorter transport distance for vehicles towed from the routes most Martinez residents and commuters use every day. A shorter haul can mean a lower initial tow charge and faster intake.
California sets requirements for how towing and storage companies must present charges, and we follow them. You receive a written, line-by-line statement of every charge before you pay - no ambiguous totals, no fees that appear only at the window.
Many Martinez residents commute to Oakland or San Francisco and cannot reach a storage facility before it closes. We offer after-hours and weekend release so a tow does not cost you a vacation day on top of everything else - call ahead to confirm the process and any applicable fee.
Membership in the Towing and Recovery Association of America (TRAA) signals that we stay current on industry standards, owner-notification requirements, and professional obligations - not just the minimum required by state law.
