The Ellison family has been serving the community for over 77 years beginning when Earl Ellison Sr. opened the very first autobody repair shop in downtown Palo Alto. Ellison's Towing was founded by Buzz Ellison in 1965. It has been passed down to and is currently owned and operated by Cheri Ellison-Carroll and her husband Brent Carroll.

Nobody likes having to call for roadside assistance…but when you need it, it's comforting to know that Ellison's Towing will be there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Their customers enjoy record-breaking response times, professional service and courteous, compassionate treatment.

Ellison's isn't just another run-of-the-mill towing company. In 2004, founder Buzz Ellison received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the California Tow Truck Association. Ellison's extraordinary customer service, professionalism and innovative thinking have garnered them a Pioneer Award, Top Gun Towers Award, Golden Heart Award and AAA's coveted Gold Award as well as the AAA Bronze Award. Cheri truly believes it takes a heart of gold to be a gold winner. Ellison's is a trend-setter in the industry and consistently sets the standard for response time and customer satisfaction. They are, in fact, the most award-winning towing company in the United States.
