Our brand new car with 700 miles got a flat tire on 135th Street & Rockaway turnpike this past Sunday. Mercedes Manhattan was closed on Sunday. Clutch towing came on Sunday towed the car on a flat bed and brought the car to Manhattan Mercedes on Monday morning. The driver of the tow truck was a polite, respectful, careful and a very kind person. The driver waited the five minutes until Lyfte came to take us home and calmed us down. I do not understand any negative responses that are written about Clutch. The service and quality were fabulous. DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL CLUTCH IF YOU GAVE A PROBLEM. read more

I waited in front of the truck so that he couldn't drive off, instead of coming out to talk to me, he drives the truck into me, at which point i accidentally lost grip of my blue barrie slushy... oops. The drivers reaction. Later when picking up my vehicle they charged $100 more then the advertised price. The driver then continued to threaten me telling me he would find me and remember what my car looked like. The owner of the shop was present said and did nothing. read more

Angel rescued us! Very professional and skilled tow operator. Ten stars! Maybe the dispatch team isn't the friendliest in the world but the service and care was excellent, and that is what matters. read more

My car was impounded and this man took very good care of me when I needed to get it back. Great service by Alex!

I had my car towed by the police and was in a really difficult situation. I was stressed and overwhelmed, but the staff at this towing company made the entire process much easier than I expected. They were patient, understanding, and worked with me every step of the way to help me retrieve my vehicle. They took the time to explain everything clearly and gave me the opportunity to get my paperwork and everything else together. Their professionalism and kindness during a tough time meant a lot. I'm very grateful for their help and would definitely recommend them. read more

If you're sent here or somehow find yourself needing services they claim to provide, please go literally ANYWHERE else!!!! Horrible, terrible and just straight up liars. They were supposed to come give me roadside assistance via my insurance, within 45 min. I waited well over an hour before my insurance company checked in with me to see if they'd arrived and I told them no had. Moments later, they must've asked them for an updated ETA, and the link I was tracking their arrival through updated and said they'd arrive within another hour! I immediately called my insurance company to ask them to call Clutch Towing so that I could get a better idea of when they'd arrive, Clutch Towing Inc. told my insurance company they'd be there in another 1.5 hours!!!! Mind you, this all happened at 5/6am on a Saturday morning (when I made my roadside assistance request), so it's not like It's not like there was any traffic on the roads!! The roads were definitely clear and empty, so no reason they would ever be so late. They're clearly just hungry for any business, even though they can't or won't make it to the scene in a timely fashion. They have no care or consideration for the customer. Just stay far, far away!! After this ordeal, I asked my insurance company to transfer my request to a different company, and they did. Maybe you can try to do the same if you end up in a similar situation and they're the provider you're assigned to. By the way, shortly afterwards, while looking them up, I found a news article published to the News 12 Brooklyn website just a weeks and a half before this happened. The article pretty much states that this company regularly engages in shady, illegal business practices. So again, another MAJOR reason to stay far far away from this business. I'm posting screenshots of the story to this review read more

Typical unethical towing company taking advantage of people's misfortune or mistakes. Refused to retrieve or let me retrieve my registration from my car, while holding it over me that I could not present it to them. THEY had it. They had towed it to an unknown lot somewhere other than the trailer in a small parking lot that they call their office. First, told me card or cash was ok, but card would involve a fee and that they would not give a receipt until after they TOW my car to me so I can get my registration and show it to them. I decided to pay cash but to film myself giving it to them for proof in case they tried to steal it, since I had read terrible reviews about them scamming people. He became irate that I dared to film, and pointed to a sign I hadn't seen, prohibiting filming, among the many signs plastered around the front of their trailer. I offered to delete the video and apologized and asked to pay with card. At that point he demanded my title (which was hundreds of miles away) and was telling me he wouldn't give me my car at all otherwise because I had acted in "bad faith". As if I had any reason to have faith in these people. I said something about the reviews I had seen, and he said they were old and that was under new management. Well, here is a fresh new review. They're still as bad or worse than they have ever been. After a long back and forth, during which I managed to remain polite and was trying to find a way to get him to work with me, he finally randomly decided to "let" me pay cash. Just as I was about to give up and leave and figure out how to get my title mailed to me, even though I had plans to drive out of NYC that day. "Just gimme the cash bro". As if he just wanted to see me squirm and hold his "power" over me until the last second. Then acted like he was being a really nice guy by letting me pay cash to get my car. They charged a "pull out" fee, doubling the legal limit allowed for the tow. A second tow I didn't need or want. Would not let me simply drive my car out of the lot. The receipt shows that they put part of the $250 I gave them toward the taxes that were added to the $125 tow. Presumably the legitimate one. They did not add taxes on the remainder (125 minus the taxes added to the first), which was written on a second receipt. Smells like tax evasion. They had not recorded the tow with the precinct until the day after I was towed (unless the officers were lying the MULTIPLE times I called to check on it all day and night, trying to figure out where my car even was). Dude claimed they had recorded it 15-30min after the tow (as is required by law). They did not have an officer's name in their towing report (as is required by law). I had a full day to research the company's reputation and NYC towing laws before going to get my car, or I may not have audio recorded the entire conversation or hesitated to give them cash without video proof. The bad faith was earned. I paid their extortion to get my car, and I've filed a complaint with NYC DCWP. read more

Certainly was available in a clutch. Should be call, ETA 45... B'cos they keep updating their ETA to 45 every hour. Still haven't shown up. What a waste of time! read more

They helped me tow a wrecked motorcycle that nobody else would tow for me, and they made the whole process seem effortless. From the very first phone call, they were kind, professional, and reassuring. What impressed me even more was that another towing company highly recommended them when they couldn't do the job themselves -- which says a lot about the respect they have within the towing community. I truly appreciate their help and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs reliable service. Thank you! read more

Clutch towing is the worse piece of shit piled up on 504 Remsen Avenue in Brooklyn. They charged me $535 to pick up my car and refused to give me a breakdown of what I am paying for. The receipt does not show their information and he demanded that I pay in cash. When I yelled at him he said he didn't give a fuck. I wish I could give the a negative 100,000 stars (-100,000). There must be regulation in the towing industry because these are an abusive, thieving con job for an company. Piece of SHIT! read more

These people are a FRAUD !!! I got there at 3pm and didn't get my vehicle until 4:15. SCAMMERS first of all he lied and said his credit card machine was broken and made us go to the laundromat to get cash (LIE) also he charged me a $125 dollar fee to bring out my vehicle knowing that I told him my vehicle did turn on. He tells me to wait 10 minutes so the guy takes me to the yard but had to wait 45 minutes. so he literally made me wait almost 1 hour to charge me 125 extra for something I could have done myself. I call him and he has the audacity to scream at me and say he gave me a choice. Anyone that can help me report these people much appreciated. Hope they get sued or towed read more

This tow company is literally a scam. We were parked in a spot with no signs that said not to park there. They brought the car back to us and then charge us $250. On the side of the truck it says they accept Visa and Mastercard. We find out that is not true and then have to get cash. Fine- then he says he has no change, and we can't get a receipt. Like I said, they are hunting for people to scam. If I could give less than one star I would. read more

WARNING - Avoid this tow company at all costs. This was one of the worst and most disturbing experiences I've ever had with any business. The entire situation felt predatory from start to finish. First, they completely misled me about pricing. I was told one price, but once they had my vehicle the amount suddenly jumped. For less than 24 hours they tried to charge over $400 in additional fees that were never clearly explained beforehand. It felt like a classic bait-and-switch. They also claimed their credit card machine "wasn't working," which put pressure on me to pay in other ways. That alone felt extremely suspicious. The behavior of the staff was aggressive, unprofessional, and honestly intimidating. The employees appeared disorganized and possibly under the influence of something based on how they were acting. Instead of handling the situation professionally, they were rude, confrontational, and verbally abusive. At one point the interaction became threatening, and I felt I was being treated unfairly and disrespectfully. No customer should ever have to deal with intimidation or hostility just to retrieve their own vehicle. Overall, the entire experience felt like they were trying to take advantage of people who are already stressed because their car has been towed. Between the misleading pricing, pressure tactics, and aggressive behavior, it felt more like extortion than a legitimate service. If you value your time, money, and peace of mind, I strongly recommend staying far away from this company. I will also be reporting this experience to consumer protection authorities so there is an official record.Because of this experience, I will also be filing formal complaints with the New York City consumer protection authorities and other relevant agencies so this behavior can be investigated. If anyone else has had a similar experience with this company, I strongly encourage you to report it as well so there is a record of these practices. Customers deserve transparency, fair pricing, and professional treatment -- none of which I experienced here. read more

Like everyone else in the reviews that has interacted with this joke of a business, I was severely overcharged and treated poorly by the workers. A service that I was originally told would be $270 suddenly became close to $400 when I went to pick my vehicle up. I asked for a receipt, and they gave me some random piece of paper that gave no explanation of costs nor had a company name. When I asked for a better receipt with information, he yelled at me and told me to "get the f-- out". I never raised my voice or spoke rudely; I was just firm, so I was dumbfounded by his unprofessional attitude. I encourage everyone who's also had a similar experience to report them to 311. I will be taking further action. read more

Worst horrible experience I ever had with a towing company in my life the owner if very rude and disgusting and treats people very cruel. Yelp deleted my review and i hope they don't delete this one but they towed my car with my dog in it and after someone was successfully in stopping them they decided to go in my car and throw the dog out the window and i had to end up paying vet fees and they also charged me $900 to get my car out after they only had it for 24 hours. This business is a scam and they don't properly conduct business correctly, more people need to speak up! I have reported my incident to the police and i will be taking them to court for vet fees and overcharging me! Disgusting! read more

they keep deleting my review, but they charged me 800 dollars for a tow and the car was not even there for a full 24 hours. And they refuse to give a receipt. I called the cops, but they did not do anything. This business is a scam and should be investigated and closed down!!! read more

On Saturday, June 22, Clutch Towing towed the vehicles of ~20-40 families, many there for the annual Mermaid Parade event at Coney Island from a private parking lot. When contacted, the towing company demanded $250 to paid in cash which had to be physically handed over to tow truck drivers in the parking lot before drivers would retrieve your car -- because it was the weekend. This is in spite of a verified Yelp page citing they accept credit cards and are open 24/7 and truck signage. This is also in spite of the posted sign which stated that the Release Fee was $125 + tax with a drop fee of $62.50 + tax. When I asked why the cost of $250, I was told the line "any special equipment needed such as dollys, go jacks additional charges will apply." My car is a 2014 Volkswagen Golf, which to my knowledge does not require additional special equipment. Over the phone, I requested an invoice of the charges, which I was told on the phone said would be given to me once I paid. However, the driver in the car demanded cash payment and offered no receipt or invoice. When requested, he said it would be brought with the vehicle. Instead, when the driver brought back my vehicle, it was left in the street, outside the parking lot, in the middle of traffic during a downpour. The towing truck driver detached my vehicle and began driving away. I ran after the tow truck and asked about the invoice. The driver said that he had no invoice because the office was closed on the weekend, despite 10 minutes ago saying the invoice comes with the vehicle. The driver collected my email address while rolling up the window of his car and drove off while I tried to verify the information. When I called the central office, they said the invoice would be emailed Monday (note: I doubt they collected emails from the 20-40 other families whose cars they towed). Further, I was told the invoice would not be itemized. I believe I was charged too high and that this business is predatory. read more

Never got my car towed by them but witnessed something very disturbing. As they were towing a car across the street from my house I witnessed them tear off a piece of a plastic part of a car and then they tried to kick it under my car. I went outside to tell to kindly pick it up because I have them on camera doing it, he did and then proceeded to curse me out as he was driving away. He seemed very young and probably scared to say it to my face that's why he did it as he was pulling off. I also noticed a guy in a flat bed truck, very fat guy, throw his McDonalds bag out the window in front of a school while kids where getting out with out a care in the world. I also seem them drive very reckless throughout Brooklyn. It seems as if I'm not the first person to write a bad review about them. I already called the 67 and 63 precinct about them but they probably have an in with them so nothing will probably be done. They need to be out of business immediately. People should start reporting them to the the BBB. Just a thought. If clutch towing is reading this I hope you have a terrible rest of your life for putting people what you put them through. This place just seems like a scam!!!! read more

My car was waited upon in the parking lot of 7-11 and mounted on towing truck within minutes. I was asked for $40 to dismantle it.. when I refused the price went up to $125. "Cash only or you come get your car on Monday". Total scam, predatory vultures. Disgrace. read more

This towing company is the definition of SCAMMERS!! And the police at whatever precinct are in on it big time .. A month prior someone left their number on my truck offering to buy it for a lesser value, we declined all of a sudden both cars were towed from in front of my home. Thank god for cameras we watch how they set up the play. After finding out the tow company from my surveillance camera I contacted Clutch towing . The claimed they had my truck but not my daughters Honda .. I called then they asked for the last four # of the VIN bc I was on the train I couldn't get it, I called back then they claimed the office was closed!!! Haha I called the next morning he no longer needed the last four now he wanted the last six # of VIN once provided he then told me yes indeed they had it @ 504 Remsen ave My husband went to retrieve the vehicles with our personal tow truck, on the sign over the window it indicates they take all major credit cards are accepted but he was told cash only. He returned back with the cash he then pretended not remember to give him a receipt after a long wait he then gave a receipt without the business name or logo on it just a plain yellow paper. When we went to get our cars they had damages to both cars which they denied doing but we have them on camera taking pictures of the cars prior to being towed . Because we were selling the vehicles on Craigslist we have pictures to show as well without the damages . I'm glad we were able to retrieve our vehicles from these scumbags and I pray they get what they deserve in the future in jail or sued a bunch of low lives trying to make it off of hard working people backs. read more

Clutch Towing - After picking it up from Clutch towing company two days after - Towing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

On 3/4/25 my car was towed by Clutch Towing for expired registration. The towing isn't the issue, it's everything they've done since then. If I could give negative negative stars I would. At first I just needed a receipt but now, I'm taking this personal. Timeline-- 3/4: My car was towed from an apartment building 3/7: I go to Clutch Towing at 504 Remsen Avenue to retrieve my car. I'm told that my total is $630 and that I incurred a daily fee of $45. I wasn't given an invoice or any breakdown of why the price was so high. I had no choice but to pay to avoid an extra $45. I asked to pay with my credit card. I was told that the credit card machine was broken and my only option is cash. I had to go to an atm a block away and withdraw $400 (I exceeded the withdrawal limit) then I had to go to the dollar tree across the street to get cashback 3 times (the cashback limit is $50). I had $100 one me that my dad gave me for my birthday. So I went back with $650 total but told them I only had $600. He accepted the $600 cash and when I asked for an itemized receipt I was told I would not be getting one because they gave me a discount. I said fine can I get any kind of receipt even if it's not itemized, he stated that if I text him my email he will email the receipt. My car wasn't even at that location, I had to go all the way back home and come back to pick my car up that night around 8:45pm 3/8: I called Clutch Towing asking for my receipt to be emailed and was told it would be by that night. It wasn't. 3/10: I called Clutch Towing asking for my receipt and was told he did not know what I was talking about. I filed a complaint with DCWP this day 3/11-4/7: Clutch Towing consistently denied that they towed my car and stated that I have no proof 3/8: I retrieved footage from the apartment building and sent it to the DCWP worker showing that Clutch Towing towed my car 5/1: Clutch Towing sends an invoice with my FORGED signature stating that the car was released to me on 3/8/25 for $217.75. I have NEVER seen this invoice until the DCWP worker sent it to me today and I got my car on 3/7/25. read more

Picture it. July 2023. It's blazing hot outside and my car is in the Staples parking lot with a giant nail in the tire. I contact AAA and receive text updates letting me know that help will be there as soon as possible. The young man from Clutch Towing was absolutely stellar. Abdul was professional, polite, and kind. Due to circumstances, he was unable to change my tire (to no fault of his or anyone else) and took me to a tire shop literally less than a block away. The cab of his tow truck was immaculate. I explained to him how I was hesitant to go to a "tire place" as I had gone to a different one in the neighborhood a few months ago where the sign said it was $20 to plug a tire. I thought it was a lot but had the job done . . . And then I was charged $35 for it. Abdul told me he would make sure I would be not taken advantage of again and let me know it was $10 to fix my flat. After all of this Abdul graciously refused to accept a well-earned tip. Thank you, Abdul and Clutch Towing. read more

0/10. I don't know why they even with AAA. Guy came with an attitude and left with one. sad. Also took the keys while he towed the car. parked the car and left the car door unlocked with the key inside so anybody could take the car. right. so smart. Then refused to take me and the other passenger home. Demanding only 1 person can fit in the car. Proceeds to go back and forth with the customer (me). Has no respect. He Drove off like 3 times before he actually towed the vehicle. Whoever he has working over the phone line for his company, also has an attitude. Basically just seems like a bunch of grown men who have no respect for women or anyone at all. That was the worse service ever and AAA tried to make it seem like we had to suck it up with his attitude cause they had nobody else. TERRIBLE. Do better and hire someone with decency. read more

At first, police told us that this clutch towing has our car and provide us the phone number and address to call. The address is wrong, and whoever pick up the phone didn't tell us the address is old, and we Uber there and we found out the location is closed. We called again, that guy told us the new address this time and why don't he tell us there is a new address at the first place. After we get to this address, no one there and we wait for the driver for 30 minutes. I really can't believe what kind of service there are providing. Below picture still showing the old address. Worst experience to get my car back... I highly don't recommend. read more
