BILL’S TOWING HISTORY – Over 40 Years of Serving our Community

Bill’s Towing opened in 1964, in a small gas station in downtown Palo Alto. Bill’s first truck was a 1956 Chevy with a hand crank.

Bill Gass was born and raised here in the Bay Area. Growing up in Palo Alto has given him a vast knowledge and pride in the community.

Over the last forty years, Bill has added trucks to the fleet as well as built close relationships with some of the best repair and body shops in the area. Bill’s Towing also takes pride in having some of the most professional and highly trained drivers in the area.

Bill’s daughter, Lisa , was raised in the tow truck, riding along with Bill from the time she was born. In 2000, Lisa joined the Bill’s Towing team full-time in the office. In 2003, Lisa became a Director for the California Tow Truck Association, Greater Bay Area Chapter. She is now serving on the Executive Board as Secretary for the California Tow Truck Association. In 2011, Lisa became President of Bill’s Towing. She is proud to continue the family business and maintain the high standards of quality, professionalism, education, and customer service.
