I had the best experience with Miguel Alarcon's this last week when my car wouldn't start. Miguel went out of his way to figure out the problem and when it turned out to be something more complicated he took it upon himself to coast my car in neutral down from the 4th fl of a parking garage that the garage attendants would not let him bring his truck up the ramps. He was professional and so kind and energetic. Thank you again, Miguel for all your help!! You saved the Day!! Much success to you and your business!! Jennifer read more

My roadside service company assigned the tow to Alarcon, when they didn't show up I called the dispatcher who said the driver would call me . No call. My roadside service and I waited then both tried calling dispatcher who turned off their phone . Super unprofessional and I was left stranded . Do not use Alarcon they give a bad reputation to already bad industry read more

Alarcon's Towing - Towing Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Scheduled ahead of time, they waited an hour past the expected arrival time to indicate they aren't coming. Worse than useless.

These guys have the worst service ever and left me hanging in spite of being sent by State Farm. They said someone would be coming back with a tool to drop my spare, but no one ever showed up now they do not pick up the phone. read more

Waited for 1 hour came out to only take pictures of my vehicle and tell me that he had a friend 15 minutes by and a flatbed which never showed up call Dispatch who hung up in my face and said call someone else I don't want to take your call very rude. Would never refer anyone to this again. read more

Father's Day 2024. My husband and I had just gotten back from our honeymoon the night before. We stayed in a hotel and in the morning our car had a flat tire. I called my insurance company and they dispatched Alarcon. Miguel arrived within the estimated time of arrival, was dressed professional, cleancut, and was very friendly. I told him that my tire had a slow leak the past couple of weeks and "he did not need to change the tire, just put some air in it." Thankfully, he didn't listen to me and told me he was going to take the tire off the wheel and inspect it. After removing the tire, he found a big nail in the tire! He then put some air in the tire, removed the nail and placed a plug where the nail was. He didn't have to do that; he could have just put some air in and been on his way to enjoy his Sunday afternoon. But, he is a professional and knowledgeable and did what was most safe for the vehicle and for my husband and I by removing the nail and placing the pIug. And for that, we are very grateful! We made it home safely thanks to Miguel! I highly recommend Alarcon Towing! read more

Alacon's towing is incredible! My car got stuck going down a steep driveway. The first service provider my insurance called was unable to do the job with two people. They did not bring the right equipment and said that the only way they'd be able to do it I would rip the bumper off. Alacron came and was unsure if they too would be able to do it and keep the bumper intact, but he did! He even went above and beyond by fixing loose cables that tangled by the pedals because he said it was dangerous. This guy was a pro and I'm so grateful for their wonderful service. read more

WATCH OUT FOR THESE GUYS!! The driver was great, but they charged me $375 to go 5 miles! I had 3 flats and needed a flat bed truck,plus I'm from out of town...so they bent me over a barrel,why...because they could! JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN, DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD! read more

Called to have a battery jump and got the nicest and helpful advice. Eric told me his father had started the business over 20 years ago and he now is continuing with the family business. AAA has never given me such kind and personal service! Small town business all the way!!! read more

Miguel rescued me when my truck would not start after AAA sent 3 tow trucks my way. He provided great service with a friendly attitude that helped keep me calm during a desperate moment. Thank you again Miguel! read more

Francisco was Fast to get to where I was at and even help put my wheel back on before towing so it doesn't get more damage.

Christian from Alarcon is awesome! He was sent by my insurance company to tow me to a local tire repair shop. Shortly before he arrived, I found out that the tire shop couldn't service my car that day, so I was going to be stuck getting home on my own without a driveable car. Christian arrived as I was talking with my insurance company about other options. Christian was able to suggest a better tire repair shop, confirm with the shop that they were open and taking walk-ins, and answer questions from my insurance company so that they could make everything work on their side. I am very grateful for his patience, skill, and professionalism. I highly recommend him. read more

After 3 cancelled professional towing services through Chrysler - Dodge who could not tow my hybrid electrical 2022 Jeep Cherokee Summit 4xe that was parked inside my garage. Alarcon's Towing were the only ones who knew exactly what to do on the electrical and get the neutral going in order to push the car out of the garage. They practically saved me. No one else wanted to take the risk in touching this 80K car. read more

Worst experience. Waited for the towing company for the estimate time (1hr), then called the company and they claimed they didn't get the tow truck order. However, the company had called for payment information shortly after the order was placed by the insurance company. Waited another 30 mins and tried calling again to follow up and they stop picking up their phone. Tow truck shows up almost 2 hours later, picks up the car and drops of off at the WRONG auto shop and leaves! Do not trust this company. read more

Miguel was great. I sat in my car waiting for a late client listening to the radio and of course, dead battery at least I hoped at the time. I have a Kia so called Roadside service (also great by the way and free for 10 years/100k miles) and was told 25-55 minutes that someone would come. Miguel showed up just after the 55 minute mark but he had me charged up in 5 minutes and I was ready to go. He was friendly and polite and a great smile. read more

Everything went wrong. 1 11-2 last time time they said. next the driver said he didn't understand any English. than when driving driver was constantly on the phone. Then I was trying to call to clarify the price of my toe and three times I waited 10 minutes and then I get cut off. Then when I finally spoke to a woman, I said I couldn't afford $500 only half of that so I could drop my car wherever that got me, the driver was going to pass my house anyways so they said go ahead and take it to your home. Then the driver took my car and went and charged 500. The next day I call and speak with the driver and what a surprise when all of a sudden he speaks English. So unfair that they could just charge whatever they want on my credit card when I already agree with one price. Something seems shady about that because normally you have to confirm and sign, but there was none of that. read more

Honestly, Miguel and his team helped me so much today! My car was stuck in a garage with very low clearance in SF, maybe 6'5" - they found a way to get my car in neutral and put it on dollies to pull it out from deep in the garage after 3 other towing companies wouldn't even attempt it! They're kind and make a bad situation more enjoyable. Highly recommend! read more

Avoid. Got assigned for towing via AAA. It's been 2 days and they stated they would pick up my car to tow. They closed my AAA claim as completed and towed, even though my car is still in the same spot. Called them and they said, yes we are on the way. Looks like it takes more than 2 days to get here. Horrible service. read more

Was stuck in a bind and used the mechanics tow truck company. Charged me more than double the going rate. Will never use again.

Miguel was so kind and professional. My tire blew on 280, I pulled off to side and cars were whizzing by so I couldn't get out of my car. I couldn't see the exit name! Miguel called and reassured me that he would find me He did indeed find me and was such a wonderful person. He changed my tire and made sure I was okay. I can't express my gratitude enough for his kindness. Thank you Miguel! read more

Alarcon Towing was dispatched to tow my car via my insurance company after my parked car was hit by another car and damaged significantly. My insurance helped me find a body shop that was authorized and would accept a car during non-business hours (according to my insurance company). When the tow company arrived, I double checked with them before they took my car that the selected body shop does in fact accept cars during non-business hours (this took place on a Sunday) and they confirmed this. Fast forward to Monday morning, I call the body shop to schedule an appointment to go over the damage estimate, and they said they did not have my car. Of course I panicked and asked if they could look around. The kind people at the body shop went out of their way and ended up finding my damaged car at a coffee shop across the street and the car key in their mailbox. This is completely unacceptable. This body shop clearly did not have an after-hours car drop-off system, yet the tow company (and my insurance) assured me they did. They could have at minimum called me or my insurance to re-route the tow to a location that does accept vehicles during non-business hours or check to see if it is OK to leave at the coffee shop instead of not informing me of anything. Very disappointed in this situation and wasted a lot of time hunting down my car. read more

Had to get our volvo suv towed out of a tight parking garage under our building in nob hill and these guys were the only ones that could do the job. We called AAA for a day and a half before they found this company with the right vehicle to get it out from two stories below ground. Professional and quick. Only took 10 min once they surveyed the garage and brought the second truck. read more

Had locked keys inside my vehicle early in the morning. When I called them, I told them the type of vehicle and location and they put me on hold and when they came back quoted me a price which I accepted. After they showed up, they had DOUBLED the price because he said it would take longer.Being very late I was tired and accepted the work to be done. He had the door unlocked in less than 5 minutes. Doesn't really justify the $200 dollars he charged me. read more

Miguel was incredibly helpful to me when I accidentally parked my car in a really silly place that I could not get it out. I was completely panicked and luckily I had AAA. Miguel didn't even have to toe my car he just helped me back it out and was totally calm and friendly in the process. Had a great experience! read more

I was visiting San Francisco this past weekend, when my car decided not to start. I called AAA and they told me they would have to transfer me to Northern California AAA, because my own AAA only covers Southern California. I finally talked to someone and they connected me to Alarcon's towing. Their technician (I believe his name was Alejandro) showed up within 45 minutes and he was very helpful and he knew the problem right away. We drove to his job and they were able to start my car and send us on our way. Miguel called us on our way home and made sure we were okay and to see how the car was running. Overall, they are super nice and I would recommend them! read more

Alarcon's Towing - Business card - Towing Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Miguel helped me out greatly on 1/2/2018. I was at Cargo at SFO Airport. UHAUL truck had broken down and needed a jump start. He was quick to come, very polite, professional and knowledgeable and gave me good tips on how to get back safely to Mountain View Home Base Many Thanks!! read more

Great customer service and communication with Alarcon. I'm out of town for work and my wife is on her way to pick up our kids from school when our car dies and won't start up again. Our insurance company dispatches 2 towing companies who either never show up, don't answer their phone (and their voicemail full), or show up but can't tow the car (and fails to call me to let me know so we lose 30 minutes wondering what's going on). 3 hours after our first call to the insurance company, they dispatch a 3rd company: Alarcon. What a difference! They actually answer their phone so I can get ETA so my wife can take a Lyft back to our car with kids. They say they'll be there in 35 - 40 minutes and they show up lickety-split in about 25 minutes. They are able to get the car onto their tow truck (which is sort of the basic function you need from a towing company). The driver lets my wife ride in the tow tow truck so she doesn't have to wait for a Lyft to get back home. Then he helps her push the car into our garage, so that it's not left parked on the street and subject to break ins or City tickets for street sweeping the next morning. To top it off, the tow truck driver refuses to accept a tip when my wife offers. This company and the driver went out of their way to help us, which was peace of mind knowing my wife was being helped since I was out of town. This company isn't just a "blow and go" outfit trying to make a quick buck and get to the next job. They actually treat their customers with respect and go above and beyond to help out their fellow human beings in stressful situations. read more

So your tire blew up going 101 North because the road is busted? Call Miguel. He showed up in about 30 minutes in the middle of the night and towed my car to the nearest tire show for a reasonable price. read more

Bullshit company very slow. Takes a act of Congress to have you're money refunded to you. 5 to10 days for a electronic refund? They are happy to take you money in seconds but it takes 5 to 10 business days if they even refund you. I'm still waiting for my refund. read more

Rony great job with his tow. Easy quick tow. Out in 15 minutes. They actually even got there 35 minutes sooner then expected

Miguel was awesome! Gave me a reasonable quote, was there on time, even took me where I needed to drop my car off and dropped me back in peak traffic. Getting your car towed is the worst! But these guys make it seem less of a pain! Thanks Miguel and Christian! read more
