    Reviews With Photos - Auto Towing

    My van needed a tow to to have mechanical work done. The dispatcher was very kind and helpful when I had to cancel a tow truck on the way. The repair shop had no space to except the van until the next morning. The next morning the tow driver was fast friendly and efficient. He also did a great job backing the van into a tight space while navigating a busy city street. Turned out the shop could not fix the van which had a computer problem and I needed a second tow to the dealer. Same great service the second tow and the dispatcher gave me a great discount for much longer distance. That was very much appreciated during a very frustrating event. I definitely recommend using their services!

    My car was stuck in mud early in the morning. While I give Auto Towing credit for responding to the call fast, I feel like the company is a scam. The tow driver charged me 700$ for using a winch to pull my truck out of mud onto the street (15-20ft). I did not need any towing, just getting the car out of the mud. Average costs for winch services are 50$-250$ (Google). The driver was trying to scare me into buying his services, mentioning warnings such as there is no other tow drivers available anywhere in the city for at least 6 hours, telling me my car was unusable and needs to be towed (i declined, it drove fine right after), and that my truck has received damage from the mud. I got my truck inspected today, no damage. I had no choice but to pay the 700$ to get home. I have contacted the company attempting to see a detailed report of why I was charged 700$ / some cash compensation and have not received a response yet. After looking at other reviews, it seems like my issue will not be resolved and that my suspicions of a scam were correct. Regardless, I will update my review if the company attempts to resolve this issue.

    The truck that caused it all.

    One of their drivers backed into my car. Lied to Kay about his insurance and the company is playing cat/mouse whether he's on their insurance or has his own. Literally blowing this off. Do not support tow truck companies that wreck stuff then try to skirt responsibility. Terrible....

    Edit: Changing my review to 1 star. Owner is now posting my personal address and license plate as…read morethey are unhappy with my review. Reported to Yelp for privacy violations. We reached out to this business with this exact quote: 'Non emergency car tow, anytime within the next few days. About 9 miles within San Francisco. How much for rear wheel towing vs. flat bed. It's from one apt garage to another apt garage, the space is tight for both places'. The good: - The tow truck drivers were right on time for their appointment. - They managed to get our car out of the tight spot (although they had to push it) - Workers were friendly and tried to accommodate us the best they could The bad: - We were charged an additional $75 by the owner for 'additional labor required'. This was because the tow trucks could not get into either garage, and the workers had to push the car out/in to both garages. This was despite the fact that we provided the information on our quote request that it was one SF apartment garage to another, and the spot was tight. We also provided the clearance of the garages the early afternoon before the tow. You would think that professionals in these services would know if their trucks would be able to go into a garage after being provided the clearance, and also that they would check to see what kind of garage it was before providing a quote if the price would change. - Before scheduling an appointment (after being provided the quote), we also confirmed with the owner that there would be 'no hidden fees'. He assured us that he 'don't do business like that'. We were then charged an additional fee of roughly ~30% of the quote price. - We reached out to the owner after being charged additional fees. His responses were full of inconsistencies and odd answers. For example: - He told us he assumed that the garage would be a straight in and out. This was despite us telling him it was to/from an apartment garage in SF and tight spots (assumedly NOT straight in and out), and explaining the garage layout to his employee. He also did not think to clarify before the tow. - He told us that his workers should have reached out to him when it was a more complicated tow and there would be extra fees. Despite acknowledging that it was an error on his drivers for not reaching out, he did not refund the fee. - He texted us requesting more information about the garage the day before. At essentially the same time, his employee (the truck driver) called us and we provided a detailed explanation of the garage situation. His worker failed to relay this information to the owner. The owner blamed us for this, explaining that we should have called him and told him as well, even after we had provided all the requested information to his employee. Summary: Overall, we felt like we went above and beyond to provide all the required information to get an accurate quote. After a series of blunders that appear to be issues with communication by his employees, we ended up having to pay additional hidden fees (roughly 30% of the original quote). We even tried to clarify the situation with the owner after the tow, but he seemed disinterested in providing a refund for the additional fee. This was even after he told us that his employees did not follow the established procedure. Overall this felt a little suspicious and like bad business practice. Even if there were some communication issues with his employees, we felt that the business owner should have honored his word and refunded the fee after. Even with all information we provided and despite our protest, they stood firm on their price.

    This is hands down the worst towing experience I've ever had. I went to Blue Water Towing after the…read morepolice waived my towing fees and gave me a releaser form. I calmly tried to explain the situation, but the man at the front window refused to listen, kept saying "pay, pay, pay," and slammed the window in my face twice. When the supervisor came out, he pretended nothing happened and then lied, claiming my card was declined -- even though he never took my card or attempted to charge it. On top of that, when I called their dispatcher, she hung up on me multiple times, showing zero professionalism or respect. To make matters worse, when the police showed up, they started siding with the tow company and lying too. Instead of helping, it felt like everyone was trying to corner me into paying money I didn't owe. This company is unprofessional, rude, dishonest, and manipulative. If you ever have to deal with them, record every interaction, bring all documentation, and protect yourself. They will try to take advantage of you if you're not careful.

If you find that your car is missing because it is "illegally" parked on the streets of SF, chances are you need to Uber here to get your car. Although no one likes to pay, the folks working here are friendly and the process is smooth. 1. First you pay the fine and get a receipt. Apple Pay and Credit Cards accepted. There's a discount for first-time offenders and Medicare members. My fine was $450 for parking on Pine St that had towing between 3pm to 6pm. It also had parking allowable between certain times and I had mom's handicap placard which did not help. I honestly did not see the tow sign and the curb was not painted. 2. You'll get a receipt and need to show it to the security guard to get your car. Only one customer at a time through the gate. 3. Get your car and show the receipt again to the guard to open the fence for you to exit onto 7th. This is one business in Yelp that I WILL NOT plan to visit again. I have bad parking juju in SF and will rely on Uber more or just use the pay lots from now.
