What's included
Service overview
Everything you need to know about our roadside assistance.
Go Ape is a locally owned San Diego roadside operation, not a call center in another state routing you to whoever bids lowest. When you call, a real dispatcher answers, assesses the situation, and sends the closest technician with the right equipment.
We specialize in light-duty passenger vehicles — cars, SUVs, crossovers, and 1/2-ton trucks — and stay focused on the services we do best: tires, batteries, jumps, lockouts, and fuel delivery.
Membership gives you priority dispatch, discounted service, and peace of mind for one honest annual price.

FAQ
Roadside Assistance — questions we hear often.
What areas do you serve?
All of San Diego County — from Oceanside and Camp Pendleton in the north, east to Alpine, south to San Ysidro, and every coastal community.
Do you tow vehicles?
We focus on on-site service. For tows, we can refer you to a partner tow provider.
Do you service motorcycles or big rigs?
No. Go Ape is dedicated to light-duty passenger vehicles only, so we do one thing extremely well.
Is there a membership option?
Yes — the Go Ape annual membership includes discounted service, priority dispatch, and coverage for a full year.
How fast will you arrive?
Most calls in urbanized San Diego are reached within 30–45 minutes. Backcountry and remote calls take longer — dispatch will give you an honest ETA.
