I would feel horrible for anyone ever dealing with a real emergency situation and then being unfortunate enough to have to deal with this company. No-one deserves that burden. My fiancé was in a horrendous motorcycle accident roughly a year ago. Bob's towing came, and towed away the wreckage. At the time, I was more worried about dealing with her than thinking about what the hell to do with the bike. Should have just had it junked. Nope... I made a big mistake there... I let bob's towing tow it, and then they stored it... for $150+/week (yes, I am serious... more than you pay for an actual storage site for a month on a WEEKLY rate) Fast forward about a week and a half, my fiancé is still in the hospital, I am working two jobs, and spending money left and right on this (even after insurance), and I get a bill from good ole bob's.... $1k owed. Are you kidding me? I really don't have time to deal with this right now. I will deal with it later (again, yes, this part is *my* fault, and I freely admit that) A year goes by, I had forgotten about Bob's and the bike, they had already put a lien on it, destroyed it, whatever, I didn't care. My focus was my fiancé and seeing her through to good health, as it should have been. Low and behold, what is this in the mail? Collection notice.... $2300+.... WTF!!!! Call the collection agency, find out what this is about. Oh, this is Bob's Towing, they want their $2,300. Ok, fine, lets attempt to work with them to reach a reasonable resolution. Offer to settle for the last few dollars available on one non-maxed out credit card ($700... way more than reasonable to begin with for a friggen MOTORCYCLE towing and disposal). Nope, Bob doesn't want to be reasonable. He wants the full $2300. Oh, but he's a good samaritan, so he's wiling to make a payment plan arrangement. End solution: I was forced to borrow money from a friend or watch my credit be destroyed. It didn't cost bob $2300 to handle the motorcycle. It didn't even cost bob $1000. It did however cost me $2300 for being focused on my fiancé. Do not EVER let this company near you in a time of crisis, because while you are focusing on the important things, Bob will be busy focusing on how he can get as much money as possible out of you. Note that I call the owner Bob, I don't know if it really is Bob, or tom, DICK or jane. Either way, this is a downright horrible money grubbing person looking to exploit anyone he or she can while you are facing a real emergency. Do not let the same thing happen to you. read more

Great customer service my car didn't start I thought I need a tow to my house but James Brandt came to the rescue. He jumpstart my car and it turned on and he gave me a good recommendation for a new battery. Thank you again James Brandt read more

James Brandt did a great job today talk about being on time and very respectful. We had a horrible experience with other towing companies, canceling on us and adding more time to arrive. James was with us within 30 minutes and arrived home in no time. I was overall impressed with the customer satisfaction he gave me and my family very humble person which is why i gave this company 5 stars great job bobs towing loved your service. read more

The service was pretty bad. I wanted to look at my car to see what kind of repairs it would need after an accident. They rushed me and said that they didn't have all day. When they brought out my car they pulled it out and a tire was popped so the rim became useless after that. I also had a bag of coins in my car that was probably worth $60 and it was gone. I would highly recommend going somewhere else if you need towing. read more

Our car was towed, during the tow, the tow truck driver accidently did something to the car where my car was leaking oil like crazy. Anyhow I spoke to the owner and they immediately apologized and fixed my car ... It was great that they actually took ownership and fixed the problem cause some places would deny it and tell you it's your problem but not them read more

Melo R. was quick to respond to a tow on the side of the freeway. Professional and quick to get us off the freeway safely. Good job Melo.

As my car over heated and surpassed the red section on the engine light, my engine blew out white smoke. Another car before hand had got stuck on the freeway, and driver James Brandt (45) towed him away, he spotted us and came back right away. As a first timer going through this tragedy with my car, James made me feel safe without belittling me for asking simple questions. Prior to this incident I had no knowledge of what to do, who to trust or what part of my car was in distress. He towed my car safely to the nearest exit lane being Summit Road. It was then when I asked what I should do next about this situation, and what should be my next steps as to trying to fix it, to get me home. I asked James to show me where the leak was occurring and what I should do to fix it, to be able to at least make it back to Santa Cruz. In less than 20 minutes he demonstrated where the leak was coming from ( it was huge; a pipe had a big slash leaking an enormous amount of water) and fixed it immediately, allowing me to get back on the road making it safely back home. He never once questioned the assistance I needed, and worked very efficiently and meticulously. I was able to make it back home without having the concern of maybe getting stuck on the road again. He was literally the most helpful person that could have crossed my path during this very weird and stressful moment. read more

Bob's Towing - Towing Near Me - Campbell, California

What horrid, nasty, and disgusting customer service from April. Wow. I'm shaking as I type this. I've been dealing with my car being stopped on the highway for the past 2 days and obviously I've been highly stressed about it. I had an appointment to get my car towed at 12:30pm but the driver wasn't there. I called to get an update and spoke to Larissa. She said the driver had gotten a call from the police to move another vehicle and that takes priority. Fine. I rescheduled for 5:30 pm. Larissa had confirmed with me TWICE and even called the driver of the tow truck and he said it was fine. Cool. Next thing I know, my insurance is calling me because Bobs towing cancelled the appt. Huh? So I called Bob's back and thats when I had the displeasure of speaking with April. I told April what happened and she immediately said they don't schedule calls so there's no way Larissa had that convo with me. What?! She proceeded to get extremely rude on the phone as I tried to tell her that Larissa indeed did reschedule the time. Just because it's against employee protocol doesn't mean an employee didn't engage. And then right in the middle of me speaking, April hung up on me. I thought to myself, "this can't be." So I called back again, of course unfortunately got April again, and as SOON as I started to say that it was rude of her to hang up, she hung up again! Unbelievable!!!! This is by far the rudest customer service I've ever experienced. (April, don't worry, you'll learn very soon that you can't get away with treating people like this.) read more

This place has taken advantage of me. My car was stolen, the sheriffs department called and told me to pick up my car from this tow yard however after obtaining the release I went straight to the tow yard and called them. After waiting 2 hours they called and said that I needed to come back in the morning. I slept in my sisters car because I'm not from the area and was back before 9 am which I was sent away again to obtain more money as they were charging me gate fees, storage and tow. Upon returning and given the quote if $1030.00 I waited again for hours and they tried charging me for the last time I had been there? I unfortunately was unable to get my car back and when I asked to retrieve my belongings they wanted to charge me $130.00. I pray that sharing this will help at least someone avoid having these problems by not doing business with this company. read more

Very poor service. This towing company was dispatched by the GEICO's roadside assistance with an ETA of 1 hour. After waiting for an hour I called them , then that informed me it's delayed by another half an hour. If it was genuine why couldn't they notify earlier? Still waiting at the road with hope they will keep up to their new ETA read more

Their service is very prompt and timely. I was on top of the world sitting next to Juan on my way to a car repair shop. Juan was very polite and helped me with towing my car to the repair shop. I loved their service and guess what just sitting up on the high seat of a towing truck is an amazing experience; it's like a roller coaster ride on a plain surface!! The world looks super small and it feels like a unique seating experience in a gallery!! thanks to Geico and Bob's towing service. read more

They helped us two times in four days due to some bad luck on our side. In both cases, they were professional and good at taking care of the issue. My only request is a shorter wait time. That said, the price is good and prompter service would likely mean higher prices. read more

Hyroplaned on Hwy 17 during the recent storms and totaled my car. CHP called the tow. Driver was fine. Owner was there at the yard and very personable: he started an estimate and figured it was totaled; I singed a form so ins. co. could take it w/o me needing to go back there form Oakland; but I am only giving two stars because he never mentioned that storage fees of $85 a day start accruing immediately...and at one point I asked about vehicle staying there and he said no problem unless it was there a very long time. He knows I was insured so figured they'll cover it, but I still think that was selective omission as I would have started my claim right then. I have no desire to waste my insurer's money... read more

AMAZING!! We were in a bad situation, our car broke down on a high way exit. An officer called a towing service and here came Aebert! Such an amazing help he really helped us with our problem. Drove us all the way to our hotel! Amazing job really recommend this person and this company. We were about to call a cab to pick us up but he said he could take us and he did. It was a nice ride and was relieved about the situation. If your reading this thank you Aebert! read more

Worst experience! I waited two hours for a tow truck to come from this company. It never arrived. When I called back tofind out what happened the receptionist made me hold for 10 minutes then hung up. Tried calling back and there was no answer. What a joke. Do not use this company, It will only waste your time! read more

I can't believe these guys haven't been sued or shut down. Outrageous (hidden) fees. Cost me $1000 to tow my sons car after he had a fender bender. They have affiliations with police departments and roadside assistance companies, but avoid them at all cost. Will Never, ever use again. I would give them zero stars if I could. Far better local towing companies available read more

So about a month ago I sprung a flat on my way to work right around the corner from Bob's Towing. Of course I checked yelp to see what tow companies had decent reviews and this one seemed good enough. The tow truck arrived in about an hour, which is how long they said it would take. The guy was nice enough and changed my tire. Unfortunately while I was waiting, my battery died too. I told the tow truck driver about the battery before he started changing the tire and he said he'd give me a jump. He jumped my battery with no problems. The guy asked how I was going to pay and I said I had roadside assistance on insurance. He took my insurance info and said he'd bill my insurance company. My impressions of the company then? Average tow company...3/5 stars at that point. Fast forward to today when I get a call from my confused and angry insurance agent. He told me he got TWO bills for this incident. The first was for the flat tire and said there were no issues. The second was for the dead battery. The insurance agent said the going rate for a battery jump is $65 or so in San Jose. This place is charging $130...just for the jump...when they were already at the scene for a flat tire. I get that they shouldn't be expected to perform a service for free, but to charge twice the going rate for a jump when they're already there??? I'm sure my insurance agent wouldn't care if they charged $20 or $30 for the extra two minutes it took to jump my car, or hell, even the entire going rate of $65, but to charge $130??? Outrageous. I wouldn't care so much if my insurance company is out the money, but they're advising me that they might not cover it if the tow company insists on this ridiculous price. Either the tow company is gouging my insurance company for extra cash (which is highly unethical) or they have ridiculously high prices...either way, I'll never do business with them again and I encourage everyone else to stay away from them as well. Very shady practices going on here...I would not recommend using them read more

Whatever and whenever avoid this place if at all possible. My car was stolen 12/5/15. On the evening of 12/18/15 (8:00PM) Campbell PD called to notify me my car had been recovered, but was not drivable, so it was towed. I was at Campbell PD before noon the next day to sign a release and went directly to Bob's Towing where it was being "stored". Now this hadn't even been 24 hrs since I was first notified and Bob's Towing told me it was going to be $550. to get the ransom paid for my 92 Acura. As one neighbor put it, I've been a victim twice from the robbery. Granted it was not a new car, but it ran great and there hasn't been any mechanical problems or issues. I even had an offer three months ago of $1,000.00 for it as long as it ran. Since Bob's Towing is owned by ATA N. ZAHEH (doesn't sound like Bob to me) and they have a contract with Campbell PD I was given no choice or option. I'm a disabled senior with not a lot of resources and when I asked to see if my grand daughters car seat was in the back seat the owners son quickly pulled the gate closed. Raising eyebrows, I hope so! Every day the cost goes up, if I had been notified prior to the towing I would have used my AAA card and had the car taken to my home until I hear from insurance, etc. It was the save distance and would have cost nothing. They said the car was in the middle of the road. Bascom Avenue is approximately a six lane road Unfortunately for me they couldn't take a minute to pull to the side of the road and call me. Campbell PD couldn't even apprehend the drunk who stole my car and all they said was he was a Hispanic male with a beanie. Remind you of anybody?? Is Campbell PD allowing ZADEH to scamming and taking advantage?? I'm the second person in as many months to complain about this identical scamming procedure. Wake up San Jose and Campbell PD !! Adding more salt to the wound, I received a notice today that my Acura was pending a lien sale, exactly one week from when they acquired it at an additional $70.00 plus addition daily storage. read more

I was super impressed with this company. I woke up and my car tire was completely flat and I was unable to fix it myself. I happened to call Bob's Tire out of several companies I saw online. They had someone out to me within half an hour, the guy (Mike) was very professional, they had a very modern truck that was equipped with everything, they quickly changed my old tire (which was really jammed / stuck on my vehicle), put air into my spare tire while putting it on and only charged me $65. read more

Great service. Rick was fair and helpful and just a nice guy. It took a while to get the truck but it was a nice big flat-bed and I've never seen a more secure tow set-up. Let's face it, you probably don't expect that much and you're really never happy to need a tow but these guys provide a great service. I guess that's why they've been in business since 1958 and contract with the CHP and Los Gatos and Campbell Police Departments. I'm sure this review will make it seem like I'm affiliated but I just learned this stuff on the way home and really liked the guy and the service. read more

Bobs towing is the best towing service around! After making several calls and getting really high quotes from other towing places or being told they could not tow my car at all (we lost the only key we had!) Bobs towing saved the day with a very reasonable rate and very prompt service! The receptionist on the phone was very nice and professional and Chad, the driver, was also really nice, professional and went beyond the call of duty to help! We highly recommend Bobs Towing and will keep their number on file to use again. read more

as we all know calling for a tow is not fun & can put you in the worst mood. my company always uses bobs towing & i have to say thank god. i got lucky and got melo. at first he was a bit ruff around the edges but he had a hard time getting ahold of me so i could understand his frustration. they have no time to mess around. he warmed up as i did too. he even had to give me a ride to another location that he was not aware of and he had no problem doing it. i actually enjoyed him on the ride and would request him when i have to call again. believe me it will happen because my company vehicle is a damn dodge. always breaking down!! thanks melo for putting up with me & being a gentleman!! read more

Bad alternator left my car stranded off the 85. So through a recommendation, I used Bob's Towing and they came through with courteous and professional service, not to mention they were cheaper than the quote I got from Dick's. Other than the fact they were about 15 min late to my pre-arranged appointment, I have nothing but positive things to say. Would definitely use them again! read more

Bob's towing to the rescue in more ways than one! I love Bob's Towing. Especially Mark F. That's Marc's picture below. Marc helped us out of a bad situation and saved us money ($75.00) and time! I orginally called the wrong towing company - 24 hour towing DBA auto towing 408 271-2690. THEY COMPLETELY SCREWED ME OVER. See my yelp review for more detail. I was in luck, Bob's towing (Marc F.) was already at the location towing another car. Marc gave us good advice, great service and saved us money. I would highly recommend Bob's Towing. Thank you Marc!! read more

This is a highly-responsive towing service. I was stranded one evening after a fender-bender left my car inoperable. Not only did the driver, John, work past the end of his shift to rescue me, but he also went back to the shop first to change trucks due to the type of vehicle I have. After towing my car to the destination of my choice, he took into consideration the neighborhood and hour and then even gave me a ride home! The next morning he called and let me know he had just driven past my car on his way into work and it was still there just as we left it. I would definitely use this company again and ask for John #63. read more

My Harley needed towning at midnite on a Saturday night. Bobs Towing Service was fast to respond. The tow truck operator, Ron Patient, was very nice and friendly.

A bad (old) battery left my car stranded off West Hamilton Avenue. Referred to Bob's via my insurance roadside assist; I paid nothing and got my car back in working order with a trip to my local dealership. I used Bob's Towing and they came through with courteous and professional service, they were about 10 minutes early to my prearranged appointment, I have only positive things to say. I will definitely use them again. read more

Stay away. they are the rudest people. The driver tells you one price, then the office charges a different price, twice as much. 11PM to 8AM is two days so beware. read more

The owner to this place is the rudest guy in the world! My girlfriends car got towed here from Los Gatos late one night after they closed so it was too late to get the car out according to the lady on the phone who failed to tell us about a $105 dollar gate fee to get it out that night so we were quoted an $88 dollar tow fee and a $210 dollar storage fee for overnight storage and were told we couldn't pick it up until the next day, as long as we there before 5pm, there would be no more fees...So we went the next day and they wanted $500!!!! After arguing with the lady at the counter she called the manager in who I guess was the owner who then, after arguing some more, we told him what we were told on the phone the night before, he finally took off the extra fees but then proceeded to call us names!!! Specifically calling my girlfriend a dumb bitch and a f****** bitch saying were lucky that he was doing this for us and we're lucky he's not charging us more. He kept calling her names that were very vulgar and disrespectful using every cuss word in the book. Fortunately I kept my cool thinking that this guy must have some problems or some issues. Don't ever go here!!! EVER!!!! If your car gets towed here I feel sorry for you! read more

I got into an accident years ago. The Campbell police sent Bobs Towing. They towed my car to their yard. I went to pick up the car with another tow service. They charged me a fortune to store the car for an extra day that they were closed. They said an extra $150 cash when I picked up the car because they had to use a dolly. Although I never saw this when they took the car. Then when the car came out of the yard my stereo and speakers were missing. At first they said it didn't have a stereo when it came in. Then after pressing them they brought out a box with my stereo and speakers and said they were not told by the other employee that it was removed because they didn't want it to be stolen out of the locked car in the yard surrounded by security lights and a barbed wire fence. Guess what they said next. Oh it's going to be an additional $25 for the stereo removal. So remember, once they have your car, they call all the shots. read more
