B & D Towing were fantastic in a very complex, stressful situation. I needed to get a squatter off my property and they had to tow a motor home, a pickup truck and a motor cycle. They were amazing. The sheriff had to arrest the squatter. B & D were totally professional and helpful and calm though the whole thing. I cannot recommend them more highly. I will continue to use them as my towing service for my property. read more

Searching this page to leave a review, I looked over the reviews other had left and came across one that was stating pretty much what I had to say Our experiences were obviously very similiar. This leads me to believe that since they have the ball in their court (i.e. they have your vehicle) that certain employees have and are taking this "power" they have too far. Taking advantage of people who are at a disadvantage by denying requests for retrieving basic items needed for hygiene or feeding a pet, or just a clean set of clothes. Not every one has the ability to afford rent in the bay area and the problem is only getting worse. The amount of folks forced to live in their vehicle even on a temporary basis has increased significantly in the past few years. Like I said it's only getting worse. Being told it's the law by not allowing any release of property is just simply not true. I don't believe we have laws in this country or this State that purposely inflict undo hardship or further distress on persons already dealing with an awful situation of their vehicle being impounded. This is not Russia or Saudi Arabia or any other place that holds those less fortunate as lesser class citizens denied basic human rights and simple dignity by those who appear to have more power. Using the power in a situation that could have easily been dealt with like human beings were encountering each other in an uncomfortable, unfortunate kind of event instead of a powerful, mean and downright distasteful manner that I and others have certainly been faced with dealing with this tow company. The specifics aren't important, the experience of being subjected to a lesser than reasonable manner harkening to days of evil war lords and their subjects living at there mercy. May I suggest the owners of this company make the investment in sensitivity training for their employees. Have a proper policy and procedure manual drawn up and required reading for all who will be dealing with their customers. Afterall without customers, employees don't get paychecks and businesses do not make a profit. Thank you for the opportunity to have a platform with which I hope to be a catalyst for change for the greater good even if only the portion of our population whose vehicles are impounded for one reason or another. Yes mistakes are made that leads to this situation. I for one can not honestly say I dont use poor judgement or dont make mistakes. With the recent passing of a great American, Pres. George H W Bush, I was reminded of his call to be a kinder more gentler nation of citizens who are like a thousand points of light. It can only do us good as a people, as a nation of human beings to perhaps put back the humanity of being. read more

Systematic Theft This company is scum. They towed our vehicle 2 miles and billed out $150+. Then they waited 8 days before informing us that they had our vehicle and were billing charging us $55 a day. We could have parked it at the airport and it would have cost us less. Liars and Thieves, Systematic Theft, Condoned by our local Government, whom must be in on all their ill-gotten plunder with tasty kickbacks. read more

What a nightmare! Waited for them to come for an hour through insurance and it took another 30 min for him to find a very well indicated parking garage and open the door from the 3d attempt to get the key (though the window was a little open) and another 20 min literally to process the credit card. When I asked what seemed to be the problem the guy looked angrily and shouted me in the face that he absolutely did not have to explain it to me. Super-rude, inexperienced and unprofessional. read more

I've used b&d several times each time they've been professional responsive and have arrived on time or early. I'm not able to work right now bc a coworker got COVID and then my truck broke down yet again so it's been a hard time but the driver that came was super nice and went above and beyond for me. It meant a lot. read more

A tired brain does not function well. It's 07:15 on a Thursday morning. 13 hour graveyard shift completed, I drag my semi-conscious self to my vehicle, hoping for a commute home with minimal jackassery; the only other thoughts (aside from a new career) being a rum n' coke, Netflix, and my cat hair covered bed. Only one minor thing is keeping me from my "night" cap and binge watching Hawaii 5-0. Yup. For the first time in my life, my $*#^^#*$*@* keys have been locked inside. Now any other time, a torrential downpour of expletive deletives would have gushed from my profane and unladylike (so I hear) mouth, but being too worn out for anger, the car wizard authorities are contacted and a minute after "End call," the phone rings. It's B&D. "We're like 3 minutes away, I'm sending a driver out now." At that moment, the only thing more Heavenly to me would've been Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei, and maybe some waffles. Most of us have grown all too accustomed to disappointment; some more than others. Now I'm not one to get my hopes up, but to the delight of my flickering soul, true to the word, within mere moments he was there. Rockstar, savior, Superhero in reflective trousers. *Darin. His truck appears as a beacon of hope on this overcast morning and I am uplifted. With the speed, drive, and efficiency of a goblin on a rage potion, *Darin has my keys back in my weary hands. He does not know how grateful I am for his work. I want to give him a tip or gift as thanks, but I don't carry cash and the only (socially appropriate) thing I have to give is a gift card. He politely declines but mentions that if I gave him a yelp review, that his boss would compensate him. Now I didn't ask exactly what that entailed, but I was more than happy to fulfill that simple request. Big D, (cough) this one is for you. #teamdarin read more

I called to have a tow truck pick up my car because we had a flat close to home and just turned around and drove our car home. I asked for B & D to tow our car from our house to a local tire shop, because our car does not come with a donut or spare. B and D said a tow truck would be here in 45-60 min. After waiting 1 hour and 40 mins I called back asking where the driver was because the tire shop was closing soon and I didn't think we were going to make it before they closed. The girl who answered the phone said she would call and check location of our driver? Then 10 mins later, after waiting on hold, a different girl who was very rude, said thanks for holding how can I help you? No report or status of where the driver was. I then said - we need to cancel because the tire shop closes in 30 min and the truck is still not here. Girl rudely said fine- I'll cancel. Thank God our car is at home and I'm not sitting on the side of the road. We'll be calling someone else tomorrow. read more

I called these folks after Triple A provided me with 2 worthless phone numbers for companies that will supposedly tow a travel trailer (mind you, mine is only 1700 lbs!). These guys will tow anything their truck can lift, and they provide road service (battery, flat tire, lock out, fuel) in addition to towing your trailer/RV to a repair place or transporting your vehicle or RV somewhere. Kinda like what Triple A is supposed to (since I paid them extra dues for trailer AND vehicle service), but actually does not. These guys were awesome. Not only did they come to the storage yard where I store my travel trailer, but Darin lifted my trailer w/the hydraulic lift and helped me troubleshoot the problem with the dolly wheel on the hitch and saved me a tow, added cost for a repair I didn't need, and all the time it would take to get the trailer to and from a repair place. Thanks guys. It was well worth the call and $125 towing fee for all the time and trouble it saved me! read more

My driver, Jesse, was the most helpful guy i could have hoped for. He was a real pro when it came to knowing his job and he got me to the repair shop safely and quickly even in the pouring rain. From the dispatcher to the drivers, B&D towing knows how to treat their customers. I can't say enough great things about my experience and how they exceeded any expectation. I am beyond satisfied with their service. They will be the one i call when needing help again. Thank you Jesse, i appreciate you. Jill R. read more

Rear-ended by an 83 year old getting off the freeway. CHP involved because we were still technically on the freeway. They called B & D towing and another company. One for my car and one for the 83 year old. We both needed flatbeds to tow the cars away. B & D was the first and site. They were going to take the other car as it was easier to load, but the CHP officer asked them to take mine as I had my 91 year old mother with me and it was nearly 100 degrees out. As he was loading my car, I asked if I could put my mother in his truck so she could sit in the air conditioning and he said sure. I got her in and after he loaded my car we still had a bit of time before we left. He and my mother chatted. When it came time to get her out of his truck, she nearly fell and he and my husband (who arrived) pretty much caught her. Alvaro was so respectful of my mother and very nice to us as well. Later that day we went to their tow yard to empty my car out and again, they were very nice and helpful. Hopefully I don't need another tow for a VERY LONG TIME but if I do I will use them again. read more

One of my customers cars got towed by the PD, required and release and showed it to them. The people here are respectful and responsive. I showed up with my customer and gave them the info and within 8 minutes we got the car back. I wish all towing companies were like this. They have a very nice clean office not like some other shitty tow yards where the office is the size of a closet read more

Literally sitting in my car as Tony is changing my tire to my spare. He's super courteous and professional. Update: The entire process was super smooth and I was able to get to Mike's Car Clinic with ease! Thanks B&D Towing! read more

B&D Towing - Towing Near Me - Concord, California

Great Tow Company!!! My insurance company sent 2 other tow trucks before B&D and they didn't even have the right equipment to tow my car. Tony from B&D came out was knowledge and very professional had all the right equipment and got my BMW towed safely to the shop. I wouldn't recommend using any other tow companies in concord. B&D is the best! read more

So obviously nobody likes getting towed... We've been towed from our apartment buildings 4 times due to there not being enough parking on the street or there being any visitor spots. We were only assigned one spot, and we have two cars. So as you see, we have a problem. Well this time when we were towed I went in, paid the fee, and we got to chatting with the owner (or manager, not sure but she was in charge) and she noticed how many times we've been there and decided to cut us a break and gave me some of my money back. Seriously getting towed sucks, but when the people doing it are merely doing their job, they really don't have to be sorry.. but they were and really showed that they cared. I really appreciate the kindness that they showed and if I have to be towed again (god forbid) then I hope it's from B&D. read more

Terrible service, called and they told me they were busy. Told me to call back when I'm stranded at 2am.

Left my car outside of a bar so I didn't drink in and drive. When I was able to get a ride back from Antioch to get my car I discovered it was towed. Cost $320 to get it out. They close at 5. I walked in at 504 and was charged an extra $198 for "after hours". Yes $200 because of 4 minutes. Here I was being responsible and it cost me $320. I have a lot of disabilities so I don't work much. $320 is the amount of a whole check for me. I will never recommend this place to anyone! Fee for everything. Surprised there wasn't a charge for using their pen to sign the paperwork. read more

BEWARE OF BAIT AND SWITCH FEE'S! Car was towed from private parking lot approx. 4.9 miles to B&D lot in Concord. What should have been a $125 tow skyrocketed, we called other local tow companies to compare rates. To make matters worse when I called to see how much the car would be to claim they said $345. The next day we picked the car up and it shockingly jumped to $560. This is misleading and dishonest. I would NEVER recommend this unethical business to anyone. I tried to resolve it directly with B&D and never received a return call. read more

Really happy with this service. Had a car stuck in a very low clearance parking structure. Raul came out and had it extricated quick order. Easy to working with them, reliable quote, dispatch operator did a great job keeping me updated on ETA... highly recommend them. read more

What a joke. It seems whenever you call these guys that you're just a huge inconvenience for them. You know you're getting paid to work, right? Incredibly rude, unprofessional employees that don't want to do actual work. read more

Terrible employees! Un professional! Profanity used in front of customers! Tried to flare up and get tough with another person! Tried to get a AAA driver to drag a car and do damage instead of doing the job the right way! Un educated workers! read more

This company has an evacuation agreement with our residential complex. Once my parking space was blocked by an unfamiliar car, so I parked my car near the house, where all cars are temporarily parked, from arriving delivery services to guests of the complex. Yes, there is a red line, but no others, these lines are drawn simply because someone wanted to. No, I repeat, no fire hydrants, exits, and so on there. And my car, which was four feet from the red line, became the object of the company's earnings. In general, the car was evacuated. In 45 minutes of parking and evacuating the car, they demanded almost $ 350 (half a month of spending on food for my family). And when we called the car thief to take someone else's car from our place, he came up and said that he could not pick it up, since it was not on the red line (it looks like someone has problems with logic). I attach a photo of the wonders of the marking in the parking lot. And also a photo of a damaged bumper, perhaps the car was driven on the rear wheels, so the bumper was pulled. I highly recommend that you return your money back. We talked with the manager of the complex, she said that you can leave cars there for a while. read more

I feel really bad for posting a bad review on these guys. I actually was contacted after leaving the previous post and I ended up receiving the best customer care/support I've encountered in a long time, you would have thought you were speaking to a VIP host at a 5 star hotel. So the tow company is not responsible for stealing my stuff after all and they were more than willing to show me a time table with their corresponding GPS log to show exactly how long they were in possession of the vehicle and exactly where it went and at what times. So not only did they more than clear their name they actually proved that (companies name will not be mentioned for legal reasons) were responsible for the theft and proved they blatantly lied to my face. I owe this company big time for all the help and it wasn't for any type of personal gain, they simply wanted to help out and get to the bottom of some shady business. Thanks again!! read more

Great professional service from the initial call, to getting the right truck and operator for our situation, to following the facility safety guidelines where they had to work. Would use them again for our fleet vehicles. Thanks for the help. read more

My car was towed in Lafayette Friday night less than half a mile. B&D charged me $355 for towing plus storage plus a gate fee. The car was not stored at all, because it was still on the tow truck when I picked it up 5minutes after it was towed. I have no idea how they justify a gate fee. I called the manager on Monday (Mr. Song) : he was rude and insulting on the phone and not at all helpful. This business seems to consist of thieves and utterly dishonest people and should not do business in Contra Costa County. read more

I did not have to use B&D Towing. This review is only aiming at that tow truck driver I encounted this morning on Bay Farm Island. We were in a 25 residential zone (I was driving 30) when he was about 2 car-length behind me. There is a merge ahead and all the sudden he sped up and passed me dangerously. I think commerical drivers should be more careful. read more

Unfortunately, i have to give one star, but i wouldn't even give any. I just got yelled by a guy who is answering the phone. He sounded really angry. The car parked at my parking spot at my apartment complex. So i had to park my car at the red curb expecting the towing car was coming soon. That was at 8 pm, right now it is 10.32 and the towing car is still not here. My husband called them during this time 3 times, and then in the end i had to call my self. So i don't think the towing car will ever come. They guy answering the phone is absolutely doesn't know how to handle multiple phones and how to solve problems and especially what is the customer service. He was rude and yelling!! Plus, plus they are lying, he told my husband that the towing car got to our place and there were no car to tow, we were very surprised to hear this because we parked at the illegal place and we came out many times to see if the car is towed from our parking spot, so we can park at our spot.HORRIBLE!!!HORRIBLE!! IT IS WORSE THAN A NIGHTMARE! read more

I have used BD towing just a handful of times and had great service this morning. Arias was as nice as could be and went to the extra mile to take care of my car. I will definitely use BD again! read more

Okay so I had two cars towed in 24 hours. (Horrible I know, lesson learned lol) I called the day before explaining I had just picked up my car but while doing that my other car had been towed and asked if they had it after describing what the make and model of the vehicle was. Amber said yes we do have it. I said okay I'll come pick it up tomorrow. That was at the concord location. I jump through hoops to find a ride there (my own fault I know) just for her to say oh it's actually at our Lafayette location. "Wait what? Why did u tell me it was here then? I just called and asked u!" I asked. She proceeded to tell me it was in Lafayette. Just very rude from the get go. She made a mistake and WA annoyed with me she did it. Just surprised at how non chalet people can be smh. read more

When I got in a car accident I was completely unsure of where or what to do at all. I went on yelp and searched the nearest towing company and talked to a few. I then called them back and decide this company was the best to hire for the quick job. They gave me a great rate and promised to have a tow truck to come and get my car in 20-30 minutes and he actually showed up in 15 minutes I was so happy. The man was so kind and was happy to actually make me calm down since I was so upset over the situation. I am so happy to know that I can count on them next time for speedy and friendly service! read more

I'd like to share my great experience with Song from B&D towing. My car wasn't able to start I left it overnight in a parking lot, the next morning I had a call from Song asking about the specs on my car, it's a C63 AMG that had a front lip which caused the car to be lower and it couldn't go on a regular tow so he brought his other truck and quickly loaded my car. B&D towing makes sure your car is safe and unharmed before loading and after. I definitely recommend using B&D towing for your next tow! Song knows what he's doing! read more

I give this company 10 stars if I could. I had a blow out on the freeway and called the company my husband told me to call. I was in a unsafe area on the freeway and was told by another company it would be over an hour before they could get to me. They said because of the area I was in they would have to tow me and it was going to cost an additional $125.00 to the original quote of $95.00. My husband was out of town so he told me just pay the guy.... I felt I was being taken advantage of because I was a lady, so I called BD towing and Robert came to my Rescue. not only did he change my tire right on the spot . He was there in about 20 min. He was vary polite and made me feel safe immediately. When he showed up he parked in a way that protected my car and his safety. This guy was no rookie for sure. Saved me money and even got me to work on time Honest company's are hard to find these days. Thank you B&D Towing and thank you Robert read more

I would give BD 5, except that the dispatcher on the phone is such a pain. I had a failure on 680 S at morning rush hour ! Struggled to move to the side - it was a harrowing experience. Googled the nearest European shop, called a few to set an appointment. Got one. Called BD Towing. Told the dispatcher that the shop is on 10th Ave, Walnut Creek. She freaking refused to take '10th ave' as an address. Insist on a business name or an 'address' as she calls it and totally gave me a hard time that it has to be an 'address'. Even when I told her I will ride with the driver. All this refusal in the middle of 680 S rush hour I think this person should work walmart checkout and not dispatching calls and customer facing. Driver was excellent, courteous and even shook his head when I told him about the '10th Ave story'. In fact there's less than 20 units on 10th Ave and mostly car shops. For all this stress she quoted me $140 for a 5 min ride. One would guess if you are going to charge $140 - you'd cut the distressed customer some slack read more

4/31/15: Saw a B&D towing truck roll into the my parking lot for to look for fire lane violations in the late evening earlier this week. Left at a leisurely pace before driving into the neighboring lot for the same thing so I do not feel like he was looking for anyone. Definitely feels predatory :( that side of the business is a bummer. read more

Had to get motorcycle towed from Walnut Creek to Ace Motorsports in Concord due to a flat tire. Tony was the tow operator and this guy is an all-star.

B&D Towing - Towing Near Me - Concord, California

We had 2 breakdowns in 2 days. The car, a Porsche, was in our driveway and very difficult to tow because of the location. Our battery was dead, so we could not even turn the car. Jesse was simply fantastic! The next day, the car had to be towed because the key would not operate. The car was now in the garage. The tow man was suoerb! (I can't remember his name). However, there was a very slight bit of damage to the low fender which occurred on a very very difficult turn the truck had to make. RIchard at B & D called us several times. He arranged to have the damage repaired at Elite Auto Body in Concord. They were also great!. But all kudos to Richard and the guys at B & D...if everyone treated thier customers like they do, what a happy place we would be living in! read more

I called B&D towing to inquire about moving a storage unit to my backyard. I received a call back from Lee, he was so helpful answering my questions and the estimated cost. The next day he coordinated a time to meet, arrived early and got right to work. When we arrived at my house he made sure where I wanted the unit, that it was placed correctly and that I was happy with the placement. Lee is a true professional, hard working and provided the best service I could ever have asked for!! I would highly recommend Lee and B&D Towing. read more
