Towing in Indian Wells, CA

Getting a tow truck to you in Indian Wells

Indian Wells has no I-10 exit of its own. Trucks come in on Washington Street or Cook Street, and Highway 111 runs east to west through the city. Give a cross street on Highway 111, Washington Street, Cook Street, Miles Avenue, Fred Waring Drive or El Dorado Drive, and the direction you face.

What to tell dispatch in Indian Wells

1. Your exact spot. For example: "eastbound Highway 111 at Cook Street, in the turn pocket."
2. The vehicle: year, make, model, and whether it is front-, rear- or all-wheel drive or electric.
3. What happened, and whether the car starts, rolls and steers.
4. Where it needs to go: a repair shop, a dealership or your home.

Ask for an arrival time and the price before you agree. If you are on the I-10 or in a travel lane, get safe first, and call 911 if anyone is hurt.

Tennis Garden weeks

The Indian Wells Tennis Garden on Miles Avenue holds the BNP Paribas Open each March, and traffic and parking fill up around it during the tournament. In an event lot, give dispatch the lot name and the nearest entrance.

Resorts and golf

The resorts along Indian Wells Lane and the golf courses off Highway 111 have valet and guest lots. Tell dispatch the property and lot, and ask the valet or front desk whether the truck can come to the car.

Gated communities

Most Indian Wells homes are inside gated communities.

Give dispatch the community name and the gate code, or the name of someone who can call the guard gate so the truck is expected. Some HOAs limit where a tow truck can park, so mention any rules you know about.
