Lupe was amazing, he came out to change my battery and arrived super quick and he was so helpful.

This review is specifically written to give appreciation and thanks to, Aaron, with Bob Holzer Towing. I got a flat tire and was stuck in a parking garage all day long! The first driver arrived and couldn't help me out because he didn't have the right truck and a few other issues, so I was on my own. I eventually moved my care carefully out of the parking garage to the street level and had to leave it over night! This was a huge bummer. Next Morning I tried again and Aaron arrived to help. He was determined to help me with the sticky situation I was in. As a car owner, it's important to have your jack and flat tire kit with you, that wasn't the case with me and made it much more challenging for Aaron. He was kind, professional and a problem solver to say the least. He had to get creative to get my spare tire off and his experience came in handy, he was successful! Thank you Aaron for not giving up and trouble-shooting the situation and not leaving me high-n-dry! read more

Thank you Aaron for helping us out with our flat tire. This company was contracted with AAA and they came out to us within 30 mins. Aaron was pleasant, professional, and went the extra mile for us. Thanks again Aaron, and I will look out for your son's name in the near future NFL drafts. read more

I've had a problem with my car not starting for this past year and 4 times AAA sent someone out to jump start my car. Yesterday with the same problem your technician Abraham R. ID 130920 checked out my car and found out that I had the wrong battery. He diagnosed that I needed a different battery and thankfully had the correct one on his truck. I am so grateful that finally my problem was taken care of. Abraham saved me so many headaches and I feel so much better that my electrical system is not the problem but that the battery was the problem. Many thanks to Abraham for taking the time to figure out all of this for me. Sincerely, Dorothy Donati read more

10/10 experience. Robert was quick and friendly, and I waited less than TEN MINUTES between when I first called AAA and had my keys in my hand. Thanks so much! read more

Tire came off my car while driving on the highway due to careless service where they didn't tighten my lug nuts all the way a few days earlier. AAA brought in Fernando from Bob Holzer Towing to help out. He safely got my car towed and even took the extra time to move some lug nuts from other tires so that the car could at least be moved a short distance if necessary. His response time was super fast and he was so helpful. I highly recommend him and this company!! read more

On Saturday 10/9/21 I had just completed my shopping at Costco in San Luis Obispo. I attempted to start my car and just got a clicking sound. After trying several times I immediately called AAA. Fortunately my AAA towing service was Bob Holzer towing. The tow truck driver was Brian. Brain called shortly after I spoke to AAA to confirm my location and he arrived 20 minutes earlier then AAA advised. Brian immediately tested my alternator, it was good, Brian then jumped my battery, my car started. At my request Brian installed a new battery in my car. Brian was pleasant, humorous (which was so on point as I was very worried before his arrival), Brian put me at ease immediately. Brian is very much a professional and a expert at what he does, upon his arrival I was very upset. shortly after his arrival I was laughing and put at ease, Brian is a ASSET to this company. I hope if I ever have to call AAA in this area again, Brian arrives for the rescue. Thank you Brian, you are AWESOME. Thank you. Jewell read more

Ben came to tow my car on a AAA call and instead completely fixed my key so that the car could start again. I didn't even need to go to the repair shop to get an oil change and battery inspection and he saved me two trips and several hrs. A hardworking, honest, and awesome guy that helps & assists people who are having car issues. These guys are great! Creative problem solvers that I would utilize again and highly recommend. read more

First class operation. Have used them for 30 plus years, and as always the team at Holzer do a great job!!

I used AAA to call for a battery replacement as it says they check your cars charging system and such. (otherwise I would've just gone and gotten a battery myself and installed myself). I entered make and model of my vehicle and the battery I needed, towing company arrived and said I needed to replace the battery so I said ok. They didn't bring the correct battery, so had to wait an additional 30 minutes, whatever no big deal. Eventually got the new one installed, paid for the battery as well as labor charge. Drove my car later that day, all normal. After that drive, car wouldn't start, popped the hood and the negative clap was completely disconnected from the negative terminal and the battery clamp down was extremely loose letting the battery slide around in the tray. Never had an issue with the hardware holding the battery and clamps, they just weren't tightened at all. What was I even paying them for?? read more

I had a great experience with Brian after my car died off the 101. He arrived 30 minutes before the anticipated arrival time which was a pleasant surprise. Brian asked what was happening to my car and I explained all the car trouble I had just 2 days prior. He suggested buying a new battery because he didnt think I needed to tow my truck. He noticed the connections to my battery were dirty so he took the time to clean everything off and waited with us to make sure the car would be okay. Ultimately I did need a new battery, but thanks to him it started again and is currently running! (Knock on wood!) Brian made a bad situation a little bit better by his knowledge and assistance! I have only good things to say about this company!! read more

My car would not start. Sounded like a bad battery. Then along came NESTOR! With great speed and expertise, he did something to the starter, and off I went!! I want to say "thanks" and will now rely on Holtzer Towing for all my car headaches !!!!! THANKS NESTOR !!!!! read more

I have trusted Holzer with my cars forever. Last week, my car would not start. AAA assigns this to Holzer. They sent Jorge. If I could give him SIX stars, I would. Totally professional, patient and took the time to diagnose the problem thoroughly and get me back on the road. Excellence is hard to find. Jorge and Holzer delivered it again. read more

I've been fortunate enough to live in Santa Barbara over 40 years and more fortunate to have never needed a tow truck even though my is 20 years old. A ball joint broke in a public parking lot and I knew I had to get my truck out of there or it would cost me a fortune just by the hour. Even worse it was Sunday and most towing services were closed . The ones that weren't wanted to Fortune to get my car out of there. I called Holzer and they were there in 15 minutes and did the job for much less money. The next time I have car trouble I know who to call. read more

Last night my husband's car wouldn't start and it was stuck in Santa Barbara, we live in Carpinteria. We tried to jump it and the battery still would not start. The tow truck came within 20 mins. I believe the driver's name was Fernando. He was very professional and kind and did a quick job getting our car hooked up and towed to our mechanic back in Carp. Great place if you need any roadside assistance! read more

These guys are great! Have had to have them come out on three diff occasions and they are always super quick in arriving and fast with getting the job done. I know my car is in good hands with them! read more

Reasons for needing the services of Bob Holzer Towing are myriad: none of them good. I needed Bob via the AAA because i had lost my keys or more than likely my 2 year old nephew put them someplace that a whole shitload of adults could not find. I mean there were 4 of us looking almost for 3 hours tearing the house apart...to no avail. When i ruthlessly interrogated the 2 year old dude as to where he had hidden the keys: all he did was flash a big beautiful smile and i melted. So much for the prime suspect interrogation. So i called the Auto Club and they told me that my car being a keyless entry was one that could not be opened without the key-less entry thingamajig. So i decided to have the Auto Club tow me to my home 85 miles due north where i had another, hopefully operating entry bob. Along comes Brian who from the first was pleasant and smiley and hell bent to make me feel comfortable: which was important since i had elected to ride with him in his tow truck to my home; a journey of 1.5-3 hours depending on the traffic. More companies need a Brian who also schooled me about stuff of which i was not aware in regards to my car. It was hotter that a witches T^T today yet the music was cool, the AC was blasting and the patter was always professional and chill. Brian made a pain in the ass, obnoxious, unsavory situation a pleasant, humane experience. read more

Bob Holzer Towing - on its way to freedom - Towing Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

driver Jose very good and helpful When I needed a battery he found one for me..and came back to install it.

Bob has both (1) friendly and (2) and very competent personnel in their tow trucks! You know you're off to a bad day when you have to call a tow truck, but Bob Holzer makes it bearable! These guys actually listen to you about your particular car (we have seven!) and factors that into how they go about picking up your car. The neat thing about Holzer's is that it's not just one guy getting this review--this is a review of several of their guys. And everyone of them had been professional and friendly. Thanks to Holzer's for helping us all with our day! read more

Bob Holzer Towing - A car I have no problem Holzer's towing for me! - Towing Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Called AAA twice over the past 12 months. Holzer was deployed to take care of my vehicle. Service quality was fine but had a recent incident where Holzer had to cover the warranty under a battery that was installed in Jan of 2021. Holzer driver met me at my mechanics where the battery was clearly dead and needed to be replaced under warranty. Showed the Holzer employee my ID and my AAA card. Said he would take care of it? I left and the driver told my mechanic that nothing was wrong and proceeded to leave without changing the battery? Never called me or gave a reason! WTH? Had to get the car home, called AAA to complain about such an easy request and then Holzer sent out a guy that I've had before. His name was Lupe! Great guy, knows his stuff cold and simply replaced the battery in 10 minutes after testing it and saying it was dead! Thank you Lupe! I appreciate you for the high level of service as well as the kind conversations we have. If you ever call Holzer, request Lupe and not one of the young dudes that don't give a crap about anything but up-selling you. Lupe truly cares and follows the AAA rules for replacement to the T, thus saving me 199.99. Thanks again Lupe. Holzer needs to give you a raise ASAP for cleaning up their mess. I'm sure this happens quite a bit. read more

I have a 2007 Prius I keep in Santa Barbara. When I arrive from Texas, I look forward to unplugging my trickle charger and enjoying the Prius. This summer, when I arrived the car wouldn't start. Bob's team got the call arrived within minutes and solved my problem. My new AAA battery is Installed and I am once again enjoying our time in Santa Barbara.....D read more

I have used Bob Holzer Towing of Santa Barbara in the past and have been pleased with their professionalism and service. July 1 I placed a very efficient call to AAA with a dead battery. Bob Holzer Towing showed up within minutes. The driver/mechanic was Robert R and he was very professional, helpful, and engaging. In the past my subaru has lost some window controls when a battery needed recharging or replacement. It happened this time after Robert replaced the battery. He double checked his diagnostic setups and there are no procedures indicated to reset Subarus, which is consistent with my earlier experiences. Robert said he would do more research and text me an update. Sure enough pretty quickly he texted me 2 YouTube videos. I was able to easily reset my Subaru window controls. I was very pleased with Robert's extra follow up, and he is a wonderful asset for Bob Holzer Towing. read more

As we left Santa Barbara and was heading up San Marcos Pass, we encountered overheating problems in our vehicle. We contacted AAA who sent out this towing company. The driver was very friendly and efficient and towed us two miles to a repair shop. Because of the cost of the quoted repairs, we contacted AAA again and asked for a tow back to our residence in Oxnard. This driver also was very friendly and efficient. We rode in the front seat of the tow truck with both drivers. The seating was clean and comfortable. We would not hesitate to recommend this towing service. read more

I had a great experience with Aaron of Bob Holzer Towing. Aaron responded today to my call of my car dying on the 101. He actually diagnosed and fixed the problem on the road and had us on our way without being towed. He then followed us for a bit to make sure everything was ok. Thanks so much Aaron! I highly recommend Aaron and Bob Holzer Towing. read more

Fast. Fair pricing. Great service. Informative technician. Nice employee.

John is an amazing helpful person. One of my trucks ran out of diesel in their area which is 100 miles away from our station. Driver did not have means of payment or accept payment from the office. I called John and he happily helped sending one of his drivers to the gas station where they pump up and helped my driver with fuel. Thank you John. I'll stop by sometime with lunch. read more

Triple A had Bob Holzer Towing showing up in 45 minutes (reasonable); Bob Holzer's team was on site in 15 and had the car up and out in no time. Tow Operator "Abraham" made magic happen... my car was in a tricky steep alleyway, wheel locked, with no interest in leaving. In addition to the trick of getting my car out, Abraham knew that the address I was taking my car to was likely not the current service center and was able to provide additional insight about my car that eluded me. Big thanks to Abraham and the Bob Holzer team; knowledgeable, efficient, friendly. read more

Kevin from Bob Holzer Towing was awesome. He communicated well letting us know when he would arrive, and even got there early. Kevin was extremely capable, efficient , and personable. He made several suggestions on who would be able to get us the "run-flat" tires that we needed, so we were able to get back on the road within an hour. Kvin and Bob Holzer Towing are highly recommended. read more

Ben at Bob Holzer Towing is my hero! My battery was dead and we were stranded on a side street in Montecito after a daylong work trip. Ben arrived in his tow truck and put in a new battery but there was still a problem -- something electrical -- we didn't know what. It was puzzling... and it was getting darker and later. Since all the repair shops were closed, Ben drove us to the Bob Holzer tow yard (thank you AAA) in Santa Barbara and said he would take my car to a repair shop early the next morning. We grabbed a Lyft and spent the night in a hotel and when we called the next morning to get the ball rolling with the repair shop -- Ben and the guys at Bob Holzer had already fixed the issue! He even said he woke up in the middle of the night thinking about my car. So happy to have met Ben -- he is so dedicated and invested in his work. And the guys at Bob Holzer were supportive all the way. Five star experience! read more

I forgot the young man's name but he really helped me out and towed my car 117 miles home! I am so grateful!

Fernando was the best tow truck driver ever! When a mystery light came on in my car on Friday evening, I pulled over and called AAA. Fernando with Bob Holzer Towing showed up earlier than the estimated time and was friendly and helpful. He confirmed my guess that the engine was overheating and quickly got my car hooked up on the truck and to the nearest local shop. It was late on a Friday but the owner was still there so I could hand over the keys after a quick chat. Then Fernando courteously dropped me at my apartment so I didn't have to take the bus home. Totally amazing service and a wonderful driver. Thanks, Fernando!! read more

After getting stranded on the side of the road, a tow truck came in 20 mins to help asses the problem before thinking of charging me for anything. I was lucky enough to be helped by Ryan, a tall gentleman with facial hair that would make grizzly adams jealous. After assessing the problem with my car, he was extremely patient as I struggled to find a place to fix my car. He ended up holding my car over night, delivering it to a friends shop in the morning, then dropping me and a friend immediately. Ryan was a delight and turned a bad night of car troubles into a night of awesome conversations with a stranger. Quick and speedy service, honest and personable drivers; bob holzer towing is well run, honest business. read more

We just had a wonderful experience with Quynten, the driver for Holzer. Our Prius was stranded in a very tight crowded parking lot and he came in response to our AAA call. His response was quick, his demeanor was personable and respectful, and his skill in getting the job done in a crowded lot was impressive. I especially appreciated his discretion with my co-workers when we discovered that someone (who could that have been???) had left the parking brake on. Great job all around! read more

This review is about a battery replacement that happened today. I called AAA after my car wouldn't start. Edward showed up very quickly. He was extremely competent with his diagnostic tools and, when he found that the battery was dead, quickly replaced my battery. He was extremely courteous and professional in his interactions. I couldn't have asked for an easier service. Thank you, Edward! read more
