Description
Tonya and her boyfriend, JB, are old friends of Franklin's. The couple run a towing service, but it is on the verge of being taken away from them. When Franklin asks about JB, Tonya is honest about the fact that he's off smoking crack. She pleads with Franklin to help them out by filling in for JB.
Franklin balks initially, but Tonya tries to guilt him into it by chiding him for not helping his cousin. After Franklin explains that they aren't cousins, he reluctantly agrees to help. They both then head to the Davis Sheriff Impound to get JB's tow truck.
Mission
Tonya, asking help from Franklin.
Approach Tonya, who will begin pleading for Franklin to help her and JB out by towing some cars for JB while he's off smoking crack.
Drive Tonya to the impound lot on the corner of Innocence and Roy Lowenstein Boulevards next to the Davis Sheriff's Station. After arriving, climb into the tow truck and wait for Tonya to get in the passenger seat.
Drive the truck through an exit gate and a blue dot will appear on the map signifying the location of the abandoned car you must tow. The car is parked on San Andreas Avenue just in front of Legion Square.
Drive to the car and position the tow truck in front of the vehicle, backing into it. Lower the tow hitch by holding down on the L-stick (L-Ctrl on PC), and when it is close enough to the vehicle, it will auto-attach. Then push up on the L-stick (L-Shift on PC) to raise the hitched car.
Drive carefully back to the impound lot (a yellow dot and path will appear to assist you). If you drive too erratically or collide with too many obstacles, the car will become unhitched and you will have to hook it back up again.
Once back at the impound lot, drive into the gate and pull the car all the way into the red striped no parking zone. Once the car is in the zone, hold down on the L-stick (L-Ctrl on PC) to lower the vehicle, and then hold right on the D-pad (H on PC) to unhitch the car, which ends the mission.

Trivia
- This is the only Strangers and Freaks mission that is mandatory in order to complete the storyline, as it unlocks Chop and Marriage Counseling.

- If the player unhooks the car whilst the truck's right door is blocked by the wall, Tonya will react as if Franklin has stolen the truck.
