Before sunrise Superbowl Morning (2/3) on my way down to San Jose for a race I hit something in the road and found myself with an un-driveable car. I completely forgot I had OnStar and initially called AAA who quoted an obscene amount to drive me back home to Mountain House so I took to Yelp for something local. Of the options BC Towing had the least reviews but a good overall score so I called up to get a quote - Less than half AAA and Bill said he could be out in 25 minutes. True to his word Bill and his Wife appeared 25 minutes later, loaded Blue (my Car) up onto the truck and towed me home. The couple were really nice too, talking to be the entire way and once home sorted us with an invoice to claim back on insurance. Hopefully I won't need the service again but it's good to know that should that happen I have the details of a good reliable person to call on and judging by the previous review Bill had a busy weekend helping people in the late night / early hours.. not many people would do that. read more

My car broke down in a Sunnyvale, CA intersection because of rats chewing through the cables. Because I was driving a hybrid car, that meant that the steering, parking, and door locks were all locked. It was not possible to push the car. One tow truck guy attempted and failed. I waited for the tow truck guy between 7.30 pm and 12.30 am. Bill was able to get the car onto a flatbed truck, and get it quickly delivered to my mechanic. Then we together had to shimmy the car on to the lot. Bill's cool thinking and experience saved the day. I would recommend him to any one any day of the week. read more

B C Towing - Rat in my engine - Towing Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I would give this business zero stars if I could. Never have I been treated so rudely by a service professional. The tow truck driver was extremely rude, unprofessional and verbally harassed everyone involved. Over summer, my insurance ended up calling us 2 tow trucks that arrived at around the same time. BC arriving a few mins after the first truck. We were unaware insurance had called 2 trucks. When they called saying they were about to arrive. I explained that another tow truck was already here and we no longer needed service. Immediately the woman on the phone yelled at me saying I couldn't do that. The man driving the tow truck was nothing short of awful. He was threatening to call the cops, cursing out everyone, yelling profanities and accusing the other tow truck driver of stealing his job. He did not let me explain the situation. At this point, I feared for the safety of my boyfriend and I. Long story short, we went with the other tow truck driver who went above and beyond what was needed for a cheaper price. I ended up filing a formal complaint with my insurance company regarding this. read more

This is going to be a very long review as I'd like to explain the situation in its entirety, although I really don't want to relive the majority of what happened... On Monday evening, I dropped off a family member at the airport in San Jose. Literally as soon as I pulled away from the curb at the terminal, my car had no power other than the ability to idle. And for anyone that has been alive in the last 20 years or so, you know that an airport curb is not a place that you want to have your car break down. After doing what I could, I slowly idled away from the curb. Now that I was a bit further away from the entrance to the terminal, I decided to try a few things (restarting the car, trying different gears, etc.); no luck. So I began to slowly idle as far away from the terminal as possible. My only option before taking the long journey out of the airport was to pull into the hourly parking lot, although this was not what I wanted to do...but I decided that was the best option. Once inside of the lot, I tried the same steps as before, but it didn't rectify the situation. Now began the second portion of my lovely (not really) Monday night: contacting Chevron roadside assistance. For this part, I'll spare a lot of the details simply because I don't want to leave everyone with a novel to read. In a nutshell, I was on multiple phone-calls with Chevron that totaled roughly 2 hours. During those stress-inducing 2 hours or so, I never received a confirmation of a tow. But with a lot of poking and prodding, I was able to get ahold of the name of the towing company that they were trying to contact: "B C Towing"...now I had a lead. On my own, I found the phone number for B C Towing, so I decided to give them a call. A man named Bill answered the phone and I began to explain to him the situation. About 2 sentences in, he stopped me and knew who I was. Apparently, 3 different people from Chevron had already contacted him trying to haggle with him about his fee, but of course they wouldn't tell me that. Bill explained to me how places like Chevron worked and told me that he was just waiting on a confirmation before he could come tow my car. He was candid and honest with me about the situation, which I appreciated. Bill then explained to me that he would get back in-touch with me once he received a confirmation. At this point, my father had already came to the airport to assist me. Also, I was on multiple more calls with Chevron; still getting nowhere with them as they seem to just read scripted replies to my questions and complaints. It was roughly a half an hour since Bill and I had spoken and then my phone rang; it was Bill simply checking up on me to see if I was alright. That is not something that is common nowadays and I appreciated that. By this time, it was somewhere around 9:45pm or so (this all started at around 6:45pm). Finally, Chevron gave Bill the go-ahead to come grab my car. Bill contacted me a few more times prior to this as well as once he received the confirmation. He arrived roughly 20 minutes later. Bill was quick, yet thorough in assessing the situation and getting my car on the flatbed. In addition, he was personable and friendly. By 10pm or so, we were on our way back to Fremont where we all planned to meet at my local mechanic. Unfortunately, it took a bit longer than expected for Bill and my car to arrive as he had to stop at the weigh station (by law) and he then was chosen for inspection (which is of no fault of his own). By roughly 11pm or so, Bill arrived to my mechanic, unloaded my car, spoke to my father and I, then we all left. I told Bill that I would leave him a Yelp review as I appreciated not just his towing service, but also what I believe was him going above and beyond by doing what I don't think all tow-truck drivers would do. Chevron will no longer receive my business, but if I am ever in a situation where I need Bill's services again, he'll be receiving my business. 5 out of 5 stars. read more

Car broke down and even after I called my insurance company to send out their preferred provider they were not able to fix the issue. The second guy just tried to tow me but I knew there was another option. Bill came and fixed my issue within minutes. Thanks, Bill! read more

My car broke down in the middle of the night. I don't know who to call. I remembered that a few months back, I was recommended this towing service by a friend. I called at 1 am. The owner answered gave me a quote and was out picking up my car in about less than an hour. Lucky for me I was close by. I highly recommend Bill for any towing issues you might encounter. read more

Saved us after another company was late and showed up unable to actually tow or 4 wheel drive car. The guy from BC showed up and had the car on the bed in no time. Rockstar towing if you can rockstar towing. Thank you!! read more

I was basically left by another tow truck and stranded by an awful company. Thank GOD I found BC towing, the driver apologized that it took so long to get to me as he knew I was waiting for some time. He stated he had an accident call that came in, I told him I appreciated that but the accident was a priority, He talked to me about cars, his vehicles and how I could update my 79 Chevy. He was professional, kind and had great customer service. Then I found out that he was the owner, and that impressed me even more. Thank you again Bill. read more

I was also left by another awful tow truck company after 5 hours ordeal. Called back the insurance and requested a different towing company. Bill from B C Towing came and he was completely professional and so friendly. Most importantly, he was so experienced and solved a problem the previous two drivers from another company could not figure out. It was close to 1am after we dropped off the car. He waited to make sure I got my uber ride before leaving me. I would highly recommend this company. read more

Wow, I never realized how enjoyable something like towing my car could've been. The guy who came over to tow my car was easily one of the most friendliest and most professional at getting the job done and made me feel safe that my car was in good hands. While he securely loaded my Valiant on his large tow bed , we actively had a conversation about various hobbies. I can't express enough the proper precautions he took to make sure my car was securely loaded and ready to go. Would easily recommend this towing business to literally anyone, gets there within time and makes sure the job gets done with no choppy shortcuts. read more
