Bambauer Towing sends light and heavy duty wreckers to Chico from our Orland yard, about 20 miles west of town on CA-32. Whether your car quit on the Esplanade, a delivery truck is stuck near the Chico Municipal Airport, or you are stranded on CA-99 at rush hour, call 530-865-5183 and we will dispatch a truck right away.
Chico traffic runs on a few busy corridors: CA-99 along the west side, the Esplanade and Mangrove Avenue through the middle, East Avenue and Park Avenue near downtown, and CA-32 heading west to Orland or northeast to Forest Ranch. Students at Cal State Chico, shoppers at the Chico Mall, visitors to Bidwell Park and staff at Enloe Medical Center all depend on these roads, and a breakdown on any of them needs a fast, careful tow. We tow cars, SUVs, pickups, vans and motorcycles to your home, a repair shop or a dealer anywhere in Butte County, and we can bring a flatbed or wheel lift depending on the vehicle.
Dead battery in a parking structure, a flat tire at the park, out of gas on the highway shoulder: our roadside trucks handle jump starts, tire changes, fuel delivery and lockouts, often in as little as 30 minutes. For commercial work we run multiple 40-ton heavy duty recovery trucks for semis, box trucks, delivery trucks, buses and motor homes, plus HAZMAT cleanup and cargo service when a load goes down.
We serve Chico zip codes 95926, 95928 and 95973, plus nearby Butte County communities including Biggs, Butte City, Durham, Forest Ranch, Gridley, Nelson, Richvale and Hamilton City. Chico is in Butte County, and our trucks are fully certified and licensed. Need a truck somewhere else in our area? See our pages for towing in Oroville, Paradise and Corning.

“Bambauer Towing is so awesome. Scott was so wonderful. My parents who are disabled were broke down and needing a tow. Bambauer was very courteous and speedy. He was so helpful. They were very pleased with the service. I give them two thumbs up!”
“These guys are the best in the Orland area, they will get to you fast and do a very good job. No matter if you drive a scooter or a fully loaded semi truck, they can tow you. If you're out on I5 and need to be towed, have a flat, or other services are required insist on these guys coming out to help you.”
“I blew a tire on 1-5. They came right out, loaded my truck on the flatbed and drove me back home. Gentleman was very professional”
