Specialties

L & T Towing was started in 1987 by Windford D. Lamb «Uncle Wimp» and his nephew Michael R. Thornton with one tow truck. It spawned off Willows Auto Wrecking that begin in 1975 by the same family operating a used parts service. We provide 24hour emergency roadside service 24hours a day 7 days a week for various insurance companies as well as the California Highway Patrol. In 1990 we recieved the AAA Auto Club contract and have been able to build our business into what it is today. Now owned and operated by Mike and his son Zack, we are always looking at ways to improve our business and our customer satisfaction by going the extra mile. We are a small town company with small town values.

Our Jeep broke down on I-​5 on our way to Oregon from Monterey, we had a baby and a dog. The tow truck came very quickly and loaded up our messed up Jeep onto the truck (which was locked up and did not roll) With skates. The driver Mike was very nice and helped us soo much to get our Jeep to the right repair shop. He even took us to the car rental place! Highly recommend! Thanks agian Mike!

I broke down on a hot day at the post office. This great company sent someone RIGHT away. He was pleasant and helpful and tried to fix the problem before even towing me. His great demeanor, clean truck and terrific integrity would make me use them again and recommend them too!

Our car broke down on the way back to the Bay Area after a long 4th of July weekend and we had to get it towed. L & T showed up in less than 15 minutes. Spencer was the guy who helped us out and he was very polite, courteous and friendly. This was the first time we had to use a towing company and we had a lot of questions that he helped us out with. He didn’t even say anything when a member of our party let out some gas that made me tear up like someone had cut up an onion in the cab. He just casually rolled down the window. (Sorry I couldn’t help but add this! Haha). The price was much cheaper than a lot of other towing companies and would recommend that if anyone finds themselves needing a tow in the area to use them! Thanks for making a sticky situation better!

These guys are the best. When a family member had a serious accident on I-​5, we learned that they responded and towed our totaled car for us. Since our insurance didn’t cover the tow and storage, they explained to us what we need to do to allow them to dispose of the car and even gave us a break on the fees. They made a very stressful and difficult situation simple to go through. I am so grateful to them for helping us out. Their honesty, courtesy and professionalism really standout and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services.

My car had a mechanical problem at Thunderhill racetrack and needed to be trucked to a shop. AAA had some communication problems that delayed L&T’s arrival, but once they were in the loop they contacted me immediately and their driver was there very quickly. He dropped the car at a shop of my choosing in Rancho Cordova, then dropped me at the Sacramento airport so I could rent a car for the drive home.
L&T was very helpful (but I sure hope I don’t need their help again any time soon!)

I am guessing this is the right company. Seriously, can there be other towing companies in Willows with an AAA contract?
So, there I was, steam coming out of my car. Little drops of fluid behind me. 70 miles from where I was and 180 miles to where I was going. Temperature was over 100 degrees and the next leg of the trip was on some desolate strip of ranch land.
Some days just suck.
So, I call AAA and, after a somewhat confusing process of finding a cross street in the land of cows and heat, they send a truck and a guy to drive the truck.
Along comes my tow truck, not 20 minutes later. In the city, where I reside, tow trucks come 45 minutes after the call, if you are lucky. I don’t know what the average wait time is in Willows, but I was glad it wasn’t 45 minutes.
The driver guy was funny. I liked him right away. He was competent and as kind as you would want any stranger to be. We joked and exchanged enough pleasantries along the way as to make me feel like the situation didn’t completely suck.
He called me, Ma’am. Which was weird. I am a California woman. None of us are «Ma’ams».
He took care of the details with the auto fixit place and then offered to take me to the nearest hotel. Lord bless him. I had no desire to sit in that dusty auto fixit place until my ride came.
So, nice young man from Virginia– thank you. Your mother would be proud of your manners– or whomever taught you. Thank you for making my nasty experience just a little less suckky than it would have been otherwise.

Very fast response. Low price. Excellent with sport cars that are lowered. Had all of the equipment to load the car without ever scraping either bumper or ever touching the paint with any tools or equipment. Secured the car on the flatbed with wraps around the tires, not the wheels, –preventing any scraping or rubbing of tying equipment on the lip of your wheels. If you are a car enthusiast like me and understand that tow truck trips can damage your bumpers and wheels, then L&T is a company you can trust. The Bay Area towing companies can learn alot from these guys. Very fast, thorough, cautious, and professional. Best I’ve ever seen. Patrick was my man and he took good care of my car. I just wish they were in the Bay Area.

Car broke down Easter Sunday, called them up, got a quote quickly for flatbed tow from Willows to San Jose. Called around, competitors were 15% more expensive and not as friendly, so decided to go with L&T. Showed up quickly in a nice flatbed truck, hooked the car up securely, taking care not to damage the low front end. I rode in the truck, which was quiet and comfortable, and we made good time getting down to San Jose. Would highly recommend.

Patrick saved our day. On Sunday, September 18, we were headed for Plasket Meadows for a week of deer hunting. We hit the dirt on FH7 around 5:30 PM. I was driving our Chevy 3500 diesel truck pulling the trailer and my husband was following in our jeep. I turned off the engine to wait for him and when he got there, I started the truck which idled for a minute and then died. We could not get it started. Long story short, we spent the night there and then the next morning called AAA who sent L& T and Partick up to tow us to the nearest repair shop. In the meantime, we off loaded the truck of the 270 lbs, of ice, the generator, and all our gear. Towed our trailer with the Jeep up on the landing away from the dust and prepared to make the best of losing our truck to the repair shop for the week. Instead when Patrick arrived, he said let’s get this truck started so I can straighten it out. He showed us the priming pump on the fuel filter (we knew nothing about it) and the truck started right up. Thrilled, but irritated at the same time that the repair shop we called that was suppose to be a Chevy shop with our crisis did not suggest we try priming the pump. Instead they said we would have to tow the truck to them. Our truck has run fine since and we were so pleased that Patrick was the one AAA sent to our rescue.
