Long-Distance Towing to Palmdale, CA
Palmdale sits about 43 miles north of our Burbank yard up the Antelope Valley Freeway — TowMatic runs flatbed and long-distance tows up CA-14 every week for Plant 42 and aerospace commuters, high-desert residents, and anyone whose car gave out crossing Soledad Canyon.
The route north starts at the Newhall Pass interchange where CA-14 splits from I-5, then climbs through Santa Clarita into Soledad Canyon before dropping into the Antelope Valley near Vasquez Rocks. It's a steady grade that punishes a weak cooling system, and high-desert summer heat makes a marginal radiator or water pump fail right when there's the least shade and the fewest exits.
Most of our Palmdale calls come from Plant 42 and aerospace-corridor commuters whose cars quit on the daily drive, buyers who picked up a car through a Palmdale dealer or private sale and need it delivered (running or not), and families relocating between the Valley and the high desert who don't want added miles on a vehicle they're trying to sell or keep stock.

FAQ — towing to Palmdale
How much does a tow from Burbank to Palmdale cost?
We quote a flat rate based on the exact mileage, vehicle size, and equipment needed before we ever dispatch a truck — no surprise per-mile charges once we're underway.
Can you tow a car that won't start to or from Palmdale?
Yes. Our flatbeds carry non-running vehicles safely regardless of drivetrain, including AWD and 4WD vehicles that can't be towed with wheels on the ground.
How long does the Burbank-to-Palmdale tow take?
Figure 50–65 minutes of drive time plus loading and unloading, longer during CA-14 rush-hour congestion or extreme-heat advisories in the high desert.
