Mr. Jose Cortez did an amazing job jumpstarting my car, and he was super friendly and knowledgeable about cars. I had no idea what he was talking about the entire time, but I just kept smiling and nodding because this man, this man KNEW what he was talking about. SHEEEEESH. Refused to let me tip him, but Jose's manager, if you're reading this, please give him that tip!!! read more

Had a flat tire for the first time and had no idea what I was doing. Called my insurance and they brought over Miguel from 805 Roadside Towing. He was very quick in his work, being there for about 15 minutes. He was also professional and accommodating. He was helpful in answering my many questions on where to go from there with the spare tire in the car. He even recommended me a few tire shops and what to do. Great and informative service! read more

I had locked the keys to my car at U.C.S.B. and needed immediate assistance as I had work in 40 minutes. 805 Towing was on site within 10 minutes, and helped me retrieve my car keys immediately. Not only did I get immediate service, I had excellent customer service as well. I worked with two men, Jr. and Aaron in getting my keys out and in my payment. If anything, I am definitely going to call this company when I have any trouble. Thanks you guys! read more

We lost our purse with our keys in it so we needed to tow our car out of the street and Jose Cortez saved our night! Our car was in a super tough spot but he helped us quickly and did an amazing job! Very nice and professional and will definitely only use him if we need a tow again! read more

Horrible customer service. They accepted the job from my insurance company and then apparently the driver declined it and they didn't think it a good idea to CALL THE CUSTOMER THAT WAS WAITING! Thank god I called. I only called because it was past the time the quoted time. Now I'm to give Smitty's Towing a glowing review since they know how to treat their customers. read more

Highly recommended. Affordable and great service. A 24hr company that actually answer and especially on the weekends. They got there quick. I was completely satisfied with the service. Thanks guys for good service.... read more

Jose Cortez was able to quickly get us back on the road when I accidentally locked my keys inside the car. He was super friendly and very professional. read more

Needed a jump start for my battery...fist time ever in my life. They sent out JOSE to help me. He was super friendly and provided an outstanding customer service. We need more people like him in the world!!!! read more

Horrible customer service. They are scammers who take advantage of other people's bad luck. Our tire blew out on the freeway and our car was totaled in an accident because of it. Not only did they want to charge ridiculous fees to scrap the car, but when we came to get our belongings out of the car the woman at the front desk was extremely rude and condescending. She made way too many racist assumptions and remarks towards us in the little time that we were there. This is already an unfortunate situation to be in, and this company turned it into a nightmare. read more

Miguel helped us out a lot when we locked the keys in the car. Thank you so much. Really good service, nice place and timely help

We hit a curb stopping for dinner half way through a long drive. Our car has no spare, so the only way to proceed was to get it fixed. We were fortunate enough to have done it just before pulling into a parking space and we were less than a mile from a tire store, so as tows go, this was a fairly pedestrian one, but Jose was the nicest and most professional guy you'd want to meet under the circumstances. He went above and beyond to accommodate us in a less than ideal situation. If we were to need help in or near Santa Barbara, we wouldn't hesitate to call them again. read more

I actually got stuck in the middle of a busy intersection on a Friday night at 5:00 pm! 805 Roadside Towing saved me by coming out quickly and getting my car out of the busy road before it got completely dark. The driver was very professional and I was amazed at how fast he was able to hook up and tow the car! Excellent service; I highly recommend 805 Roadside Towing! read more

DO NOT USE THIS TOWING SERVICE! They dispatch trucks out to cars just to break into them is what happened to my car if I would have not walked out and confronted the driver about what he was doing in my car while I was working my stuff probably would have been stolen! Reached out to sb sheriffs and they referenced me to give the owners a call and THEY COULD NOT EVEN CALL ME BACK AFTER I REACHED OUT 3x it's been 3 months for this instance and this is the reason for my bad review. NOT A VERY TRUSTWORTHY COMPANY AND EMPLOYEES ARE UNTRUSTWORTHY IF YOU DO USE THIS PLACE I RECOMMEND FOR YOU TO QUESTION EVERYTHING THEY DO read more

I had Miguel come through help me out and he was great! Super fast and a cool dude. He helped me get back on the road in no time

805 illegally towed my car from my parking space. They broke the transmisión, they suppose to put the car in a bed but they didn't. They are evil and unprofessional. read more

I am extremely pleased that my insurance company, USAA, selected this towing company to come to my assistance when I needed a jumpstart! The operator Jose Cortez was prompt when arriving at my breakdown site, outstanding in his knowledge and handling of my dead battery problem on my hybrid car. He was extremely polite, friendly and helpful in giving advice regarding any future issues along the same line. Thanks again to Jose! read more

Miguel was very helpful and informative. He got our tire fixed quickly and also showed us how he personally prefers to replace his tires.

I had left my keys in my car locked. I immediately called for assistance due to the fact I didn't have a spare unfortunately. Jose was extremely polite and well mannered and assisted both my daughter and I. Thank you so much. read more

My car was towed because I left it outside of my dads house for longer than 72 hours. I had been to the car on 6/9/18 and checked that everything was fine, including the stuff inside as well as starting the car to ensure that the battery didn't die. On 6/14/18 the car was towed because it hadn't been moved and they charged me $500 to get it out: $175 to the city and $325 to the tow company. After paying I immediately went into the car to locate my $1800.00 that I had left in there, as I was going to surprise my girlfriend with a car. The money wasn't there and so I asked where the money was and the tow truck driver, who had been working there for only 2 months, claimed that he went inside of the car to inventory the items but didn't find any money. My computer and other items that I had in there were still there but the $1800 was gone. I have filed a police report and will file a BBB report as well as this is complete BULLSHIT. The tow truck company claimed that "MethHeads" could have broken in and stolen the money. Lol any idiot knows that if "MethHeads" had broken in there would have been evidence that they did and ALL items would have been stolen. I called and asked to speak to the mgr or the owner. They never called me back so I called back and the owner went ahead and told me that he is not BUYING IT and that WHO WOULD LEAVE $1800.00 in their car and why wouldn't you have it in the bank? I have a pregnant girlfriend and I was looking to buy her a car. I had taken the money out to go and look at a car a few months before and unfortunately didn't end up buying the car. I left it in my car for over 2 months and nothing ever happened while the car was in Solvang. I then moved it to Lompoc to leave it in front of my dads house a week or 2 before it got towed. All of a sudden when the car is towed the $ is missing... hmmm? Very shady business and the business owner is a complete trash of a human being. read more

Fast, friendly service. Got to my place in 15 minutes, couldn't be happier. Thanks again!

Quick and friendly service! A few months ago my fuel pump went out on my truck over on Patterson and I called up 805 Roadside for a tow to my mechanic. When i called the dispatcher was very friendly and assured me there would be a truck out to me in about 15-20 minutes. just as she said, sure enough a flatbed showed up about 15 minutes later with friendly driver showed up. He was just as friendly as the dispatcher and made me and my daughter feel safe. He made a not so fun situation much better, his truck was clean and he was a true professional. I wish I had got his name so I could have called in to give him a rave review. I would definitely recommend using 805 Roadside service and I know if I ever need a tow I will be calling them. read more

My MINI Roadside assist put me in touch with 805, after locking my keys in the trunk. Jr. was the tech who came to rescue me. He arrived promptly, was incredibly friendly and professional, and saved my ass. He was able to unlock my car quickly. Thank You Jr.! read more

Don't get you're car towed by these guys, they will friggin charge you an outrageous tow fees and $80.00 a day storage. Get your car ASAP because they will screw you over big time! Oh, if you want to get your car out on a weekend they charge you extra to have some moron tow truck driver set your car free. Beware this place will rip you off and not even bat an eye, crooks! read more

These guys are great. I locked my keys in the car and they were there in ten minutes. Really polite and a great service

My car stopped working and I was stuck for about 40 minutes before Sergio came and picked me up. He was really nice and explained to me what had happened to my car. Very quick service & super friendly! He towed my car and dropped me off at a nearby autoshop. Overall, excellent and great service, I would definitely recommend Sergio if you need a lift :) read more

Very good service overall. However, Yelp is insisting that I "give them more details". I don't know what that means, so I'm just typing away to see if they're satisfied. Mmmm, maybe I'll give Yelp a single star after this... read more

Thank you Aaron your driver did an amazing job navigating a hard driveway to offload my vehicle. Your driver was on time very kind and courteous and I appreciate the great rate. read more

Fast, clean, fair price, respect for my vehicle. Well done. Only complaint is that they use the magnetic brake lights on the hood of my car while towing it from the rear axle. Its a classic car and I cringe at the thought of the magnets scratching the paint, Not reducing a star for this as I don't know if there are other options. read more

Horrible place. They will charge ridiculous rates and try to take your car because you can't pay the difference. Stay out of they're tow yard! I lost my car to them and as that was happening someone else was losing theirs outside! Soulless management. People working there are friendly but can't really help you because they're under tyranny of a slumlord. Horrible. read more

Locked my keys in my car and 805 Towing was able to come out and unlock the car in less than 5 mins while also having awesome customer service. read more

I want to thank this company and the owners friend for helping us out on 8/15. Was traveling from Santa Cruz to Southern CA with my two children. Stopped in Santa Barbara to get gas and inadvertently locked the keys in the car. This guy sees I'm a little frantic and asks what's wrong. I proceed to tell him and he says he has a buddy that can help. Wala in about 15 minutes I was back on the road! THANK YOU kind gentleman (who paid for the lockout), 805 Roadside, and Danny the tow truck driver. You all made a stressful situation get resolved VERY FAST!! read more

Had a fabulous experience with 805 Roadside. Very quick response time, super professional driver. Jr. had to drive me all the way from Santa Barbara to Oxnard and the truck was very clean, he drove safe and we had great conversation. Would definitely recommend them! read more

I have had to get towed twice in 1 month and I used 805 Roadside Towing both times. Their response time is very quick, they have great prices and friendly service. Out of all the different tow companies I have used in my lifetime, they are by far my favorite. If my old car breaks down again, I know who to call. read more

Being an auto repair facility, 805 Roadside has been there for us every time. The staff is sharp and professional. There is never any confusion when we need a vehicle towed and the prices are fair. 805 Roadside is and will continue to be my go to towing service in Santa Barbara. read more

Miguel saved me and very kindly came back to jump my car again after it died once again after putting it in gear. 10/10 great service!!

The driver was great showed up fast and even my car was a pain in the ass to open, he was patient about it and got it open.

Waited over an hour for them to show up, so I called and they had told me they cancelled my tow. It's ok Santa Paula Chevrolet came to the rescue, thanks James. I'm in SB going to goleta. read more

Got gas out to my brother in 10 minutes. Excellent service.

On Saturday my car broke down & Miguel was my tow driver. He investigated what could have been the issue instead of just taking the car and dropping it off and was super friendly. My boyfriend and I spent Sunday trying to fixed the leak he noticed and my car was working just fine-- until I tried to go to work this morning. I was sent another driver but my insurance didn't notify them that my car was in a garage too small for the truck to fit but he took a look at my car anyways and gave us his thoughts of what was wrong then another driver was sent. To our surprise it was Miguel! (We had wondered what the odds would be that it would be him) he also brought along Jose & together they made this unfortunate event actually enjoyable. Bottom line, all of the people that I have come across in previous times and then now recently I've had such good interactions & I had to share it. You can tell they actually care about their customers, thank you so much 805 roadside! read more
