Long-Distance Towing to Lancaster, CA
Lancaster is the far end of our Antelope Valley run — about 53 miles up CA-14 past Palmdale — and TowMatic hauls vehicles out there for high-desert residents, Edwards Air Force Base personnel, and anyone stranded on the long open stretch between the Valley and the Antelope Valley.
Past Palmdale, CA-14 opens into a long, exposed stretch of high-desert highway through the Avenue S and Rancho Vista exits with fewer services and fewer exits than the freeways closer to town. A breakdown out here means a longer wait for most companies — we stage trucks to cover the whole corridor, not just the city limits.
Edwards AFB commuters, Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve visitors with mechanical trouble, downtown Lancaster Boulevard deliveries, and private sellers moving a vehicle between the Southland and the high desert make up most of our Lancaster runs.
Route & distance from Burbank
Typical route
Common Lancaster long-distance calls
Stranded on the open CA-14 stretch
The long gap between Palmdale and Lancaster leaves little roadside help nearby; a flatbed reaches you and gets you off an exposed shoulder quickly.
Edwards AFB commuter breakdowns
Vehicle trouble on the commute to or from the base, towed to a shop on either end of the route.
High-desert heat damage
Overheating, blown hoses, and heat-cracked tires are common in summer desert driving — we flatbed instead of risking a limp-home drive.
FAQ — towing to Lancaster
What does a tow from Burbank to Lancaster cost?
A flat rate quoted up front based on mileage and vehicle type, with no added per-mile charges once the truck is dispatched.
Will you tow a non-running vehicle to Lancaster?
Yes — our flatbeds are built for non-running vehicles, including cars that won't go into neutral or have a seized drivetrain.
How long is the Burbank-to-Lancaster tow?
Typically 60–75 minutes of drive time, longer in extreme desert heat when we take extra care with the load and the truck.
