Needed a tow on i80 near Colfax, CA. Called AAA and were routed to Thomas at Araco Towing. Thomas, thank you for sending a tow, keeping in touch through the whole experience, and for figuring out how to get our truck back to Walnut Creek quickly. You are awesome! read more

Exceptional service. My truck hit leaves on a dirt road and slid, tipping uncomfortably to the side. Ryan was exceptional at pulling the truck back on the road. Ryan was so efficient the neighbors did not have a chance to chuckle at my misstep! read more

I just removed a previous negative review. It had to do with something other than towing. After dealing with Ryan, the owner of Araco Towing I found him a man of high integrity. We were able to work together to solve my problem. We spoke on the phone and Ryan even traveled down from Colfax to Rocklin to meet me. He went far beyond what was expected. He was friendly and courteous. read more

AAA contracting station, rude, and refused to tow my car even though I am an AAA member. Left me stuck on I-80 would not give me any information or help in locating someone in the area that would be able to get my vehicle home. Fortunately I made a good guess and contacted Ridgeline Towing, they were more that happy to help, reasonable pricing, fantastic customer service. Stay away from Araco towing do no provide the service they have contracted with AAA to provide read more

I was having trouble with the brakes on my Jeep Grand Cherokee after coming through the Sierras on Route 80. The car was violently shuddering at 40 MPH, so I had to pull off the road near Colfax. It was Sunday night around 7pm so I was having trouble finding a garage that was open and was considering a pricey tow back to San Francisco when I was driving past Araco and noticed the light was on. I popped in and found manager Lee Wells hanging out and taking care of some odds and ends at the shop. Even though he's not one of the mechanics, he was kind enough to help me diagnose my brake issue and give me enough of a fix to get me back to SF without needing to get my Jeep towed. It certainly wasn't Lee's responsibility to fix brakes at the shop and the shop certainly wasn't technically "open for business" late on a Sunday, but Lee was kind enough to help me out of the goodness of his heart and only charged me $20 for what amounted to about 2 hours worth of work for him. Thanks again for the help Lee. I truly appreciate it. read more

My son's car battery died overnight and he called AAA, whom sent this Tow Company out to service his vehicle. The guy, Sam, had NO TOOLS to take the nuts off of the battery cover and proceeded to pull the cover off, breaking the piece where the cover was held down by said nut. WHAT TOW TRUCK DOESN'T CARRY A SIMPLE TOOL KIT??!!!! Besides not being professional, he was rude about it!!! I have NEVER had a bad experience with any tow company before today!! Unacceptable!! Also, I called the phone number on the side of the truck, spoke with the dispatcher asking her to have the manager call me back regarding this incident....I have yet to hear from him!

At 1 am, my car was still not in my driveway.Triple A dispatch was able to get the driver on the phone around 2 am, he said he was an hour and a half away. Triple A assured me he would call me when he got in the area. 2 and a half hours later, still no car. Dispatch called the driver, who said he was nearby. We went outside to wait for him and he never showed up. An hour later, still no car. I called Triple A, and they said my car had been delivered. At this point, they couldn't get the driver on the phone, it was 5 am, and I had to file a police report because Triple A had no idea where my car was. A few hours later I took a walk around the neighborhood and found my car down the street at someone else's house. The tow truck driver left my car, didn't even bother to contact me (even though he was made aware by Triple A that I was waiting up for him to arrive) and put my car keys inside of someone else's mailbox. The level of unprofessionalism is ASTOUNDING.

I called my Good Sam Roadside Assistance only to be informed that they could not get service to me until the following morning. I had some very unkind words for them.

Lol She seems to love herself enough to love everyone else and loves her job enough to find meaning in it, so she exudes this peaceful calm yet energetic and loving disposition and she shares that with everyone! Yes, I gotta admit, she's the type of girl you just want to get to know better. But that's a perfect person to showcase in a public relations position for customer satisfaction, right?? I'm very satisfied every time I stop by there when she's working. She picks my mood up when I'm feeling down. She's so quick witted and willing to get your needs met without and confusion. I read the few other comments posted here and they all call out this older woman whom I've never met... yet. Maybe she's already "moved on" or "passed on"... Whichever she deserves, right?? Lol It's unfortunate that these people couldn't run into Danelle, because they would rave about the awesome customer service and attitude that comes from her. She's definitely a special gem, and I can't wait to be in her presence again. (Especially when I'm feeling defeated in life. That's when you cherish such a wonderful human as Danelle the most.) I hope they give her enough raises to keep her there long enough for me to propose to her... Uh... just kidding about that... Unless she doesn't want me to be kidding about that... Otherwise, it's a complete joke!! But then again, who knows?!!! RIGHT!!! Maybe it'll work?!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! But seriously... Danelle??? Danelle...?? Will you marry me??!!!! Hello... Bueller...
