My car suddenly had the dash light up like Christmas and called AAA Immediately. They referred me to College Towing, which I've used before and have had good experiences, but today with J-Rod was a different experience. He was very pleasant, professional, and courteous. He interacted with my small dog and we had fun conversations. Highly recommend this guy if you want to turn a bad situation into a good one. read more

Jose did an excellent job towing my car and made sure it arrived safely. He was very well prepared with blocks and was very careful when hooking up and taking down the car. He is also very kind and personable, which is a huge plus. Whenever I'm in the area (and if I need a tow, fingers crossed that I don't), I'll be sure to call college towing next time! read more

Unfortunately, my experience with College Towing SLO, was not good. I first submitted a request in early July through their website contact page. No response. I phoned and spoke with a nice lady in late July. Explained our situation. Heard nothing back. I phoned again in early September. Spoke with a nice gentleman, explained our situation, and was asked to email details and they'd forward their agreement. Heard nothing. Today I contacted SLOTOW, explained our situation, was asked to email details. Within 2 hours I received a reply with their agreement. Suffice it to say I'll be dealing with SLOTOW going forward. read more

What a scam of a business.We parked at ABC Parking and paid for the weekend. Unfortunately my husband with ADHD misspelled the license plate of our vehicle. It then was towed. To get it out we had to pay $620. The representative Would not give us the number of the person who had our rental car towed illegally. Finally when we tried to retrieve the car, there was no one there!!! read more

Scott the Tow Driver is highly skilled, helped me find a safe spot to park my car, strapped it in totally professional. SUPER QUICK, Excellent Customer Service, highly recommend!! read more

I just returned from a weekend in SF to discover that my car had been towed from ABC Parking by the Wine Sneak. I've been waiting for someone to open their impound lot for 45 minutes and the place is empty. Nada. If I charged for my time at a fraction of their cost, College Towing would owe ME money. How is this legal? read more

College Towing - Better be here Mon-Fri if you want to get your car back for under $1,000. - Towing Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Thank you Scotty for your great attitude and making me feel less bummed out about my car. He towed my car to Atascadero from SLO.

This review is written for a peer of mine. According to California Vehicle Code 22658 and 22513 (under the Fee Caps Based on Law Enforcement or CHP rates), the following are true: * A tow company cannot charge more for towing or storage from private property than the amount it would charge for a tow at the request of a law enforcement agency in that jurisdiction (for example, under a contract with the local police or sheriff). * If the towing company has a rate approved by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) for that area, your charges can't exceed that rate either. * This applies to both towing and storage fees. After having their car towed, a peer of mine was subsequently quoted $650 by SLO College Towing. This exceeds the mandated rates given by law enforcement, all of which are quoted on their (SLO PD) website. My peer was intimidated into paying the money immediately upon arrival by a very unkind/unhelpful employee and was told that they were offered the lowest rate option (a lie). The gross overcharge is not in accordance with the municipal codes of San Luis Obispo. This company needs to do better. read more

75 mph + on the 101 from Arroyo Grande North at 10:30-11pm on a Saturday Night. Tailgating, making unsafe lane changes. Caught back up to him again when he hit traffic after the grade - less than a car space between him and the vehicle in front of him! Driver should lose his license - you are the clean up crew to messes and this night you could have easily been the cause of the mess instead. Shame on ya for being such an idiot!! Will NEVER use this company- clean your act up! read more

Shout out to Mike and Raymond for helping us out of a flat tire issue. They were helpful and kind and when we encountered an issue/mistake during service, Mike took such good care of us. Saved us money, saved us trouble, and helped us start the new year on a new tire! read more

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. College towing should be your last resort. After making us wait for HOURS our tow was cancelled with no valid or explainable reason. The person over the phone refused to provide any detail as to our cancellation and was not kind about it either. Do not use this company if you care about your vehicle or mental state. 0/5 read more

Jarad was on time and in communication with me. Very professional and helpful as well.

My minivan got a flat tire on 101 uphill section just north of SLO, stranded on a narrow shoulder with cars and big rigs flying by. With 5 people including kids and elderly in the van, this was a really scary situation. Bryce came to the rescue quickly and was super friendly and super helpful. Since our van has no spare, he called in another truck to get all of us and the van out of the dangerous spot to a tire shop just in time. Luckily we safely made it home that night. Really grateful for the great service and highly recommend! read more

Guess if have AAA you get the tow company they send for you. I was in town. Had a 3/4 ton pickup to tow about a block. Flat tire and tire store was a block away, I was worried too heavy to drive on flat. He called and said busy so I said OK. He said about an hour to 1 1/4 hours so I waited for 1 1/2 hours. Nothing. I called again and he said they are close. Another 15 min and I called. He said he had another tow and would be there soon. I kept standing out by the road in the heat. I am 80 yrs old. Someone came from a local lumberyard to give me a bottle of water. I kept waiting. Almost 3 hours wait. Many more calls and many more lies. Finally the driver called and asked where I was and I told him local business. He said they gave him the wrong address. He came. He was a great guy and got it hooked up quickly. AAA should watch their contractors more closely. Terrible experience. If possible use another company read more

Perfect service. Scotty did a great job. They took my insurance for my tow, totally awesome

Luke is amazing at his craft. He ensured my car was safe, and well secured for the long ride home. He was a great driver, and added value to my tow with his compassionate and well versed conversation. read more

Lucky Luke saved the day! Thank you to college towing for fast and reliable towing! He was so friendly and helpful and we even left something in our truck and had to meet him to get it out. Super accommodating. Thank you read more

My car battery wouldn't start, so AAA referred me Bob Holzer. Unfortunately, Bob Holzer was useless, but I was able to get switched to College Towing. The College Towing dispatcher was helpful and communicative, letting me know how soon they could help me out. She also took the time to ask what issues my car was having so that she could pass the info along to the service rep. Once the rep got there, we found out the battery didn't have as many issues as originally expected and he was able to jump start my car and get me back on the road pretty quickly. read more

I never had a towing experience where the driver beat me to the car. Usually I'm waiting at least an hour. The driver here got to the car first and didn't even complain about waiting 5 minutes. He was completely thorough and got our car started immediately. Great friendly service. I was very impressed!! Highly recommend College Towing!! I feel bad that I didn't get his name. read more

Dan & Bryce came and helped me out this morning. They were super quick, super friendly, and super helpful. That made a bad morning tolerable. Thanks for the tow guys, you were the best! read more

Good luck if you get stuck with these guys as your tow truck company. They were assigned via AAA and left me hanging for 2 hours before I finally figured out they just weren't going to show up (likely because I was slightly outside of SLO on the way to Los Osos). Not only that, they tried to say they were short staffed (maybe don't take the call then?) and didn't apologize when I called them out on not showing up. Luckily I got ahold of Chuck's and they came to get my car later that night after I got a ride with a friend. Lesson learned. read more

I locked my keys in my car at Costco...no sooner did I call AAA did this truck and guy appear. Lickety-split he had my car open my keys in my hand and he was on his way and so was I. Nice kind guy and service was great. Appreciate the speedy service today! I'm a 38 year member of AAA for a reason! read more

College student rip off artists! Son parked in friend's parking spot at Mustang Village and was towed within 30 min of being there by their eager security mall cop. Immediately went to retrieve car and was billed $640!!!! Will report to SLO PD - cost seems excessive and extortive read more

Amazing service from Cameron who was very helpful and knowledgeable and kind and patient. He went out of his way to help us when our car broke down. He made the experience not as stressful as it could have been and he was very attentive. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! We broke down and they led us on for 3 hours and in the end did not come to help us and would not answer their phone. HORRIBLE customer service. Dan was the person we were dealing with and he was super shady, kept saying we can do this and that but don't tell AAA. What an awful experience!!! read more

We had a flat tire in SLO. AAA sent College Towing to help us. The tow truck driver was amazing! I wish I had his name. My husband described the driver as, "One of the nicest people I've ever met." He was great with our children! He was fast, efficient and professional. Highly recommend! read more

A family member of mine requested a tow for my car. Note before going further we are both AAA premier members. He used his card as he has not used it at all this year and it renews in 3 months and mine just renewed. Had a transmission line fail on my car fluid leaking causing car to not be drive able. AAA was contacted and advised College Tow would be dispatched, AAA was advised there was a driver and passenger, we were given a time approx 1 hour 30 minutes which to tow a car 100 plus miles Im ok with. We were told the truck was in Avila Beach maybe 10 miles from us in Grover Beach. An hour later get a message unable to provide service no reason given. Called AAA back again and asked what the heck is going on as we have been waiting on hour and just now given notice. Was advised we would get a call back with an update. WE did receive a call from a person who claimed to be the owner do not recall his name but it was something like DICK,he called and accused my family member of harassing the dispatchers. its apparent this guy a cup of coffee or maybe a new job as Im listening to him basicly call us liars. What business owner does this? Then he goes on and states he WILL NOT take both of us only one person. He then said they are delayed due to equipment breakdowns and be delayed. HMMM shouldnt this have been advised when we were first given the update. It gets even better this sorry excuse of a business person didnt even have enough courage to say Id rather not provide service to us as I later received a call from another tow provider. They advised they were contacted as College Tow now declined the tow and sent it back with out even letting us know. This tow driver was in Simi Valley 2 hours away but was willing to go above and beyond to assist us. College Tow screwed us around advising a 1130 toy then changed it then canceled it and was not even adult enough to advise us. The vehicle arrived at my home in Bakersfield at about 8:30 pm driver was nice took good care of my car. Since the town was delayed several hours we just picked up a car to drive so we could get home, since the new dependable tow company gave us a time frame they advised if we wanted to leave they would pick up and deliver and we did not need to be there other than the final destination. looking at older reviews this company seems to have a habit of screwing people over all I can say is I wish them bad luck and hope AAA revokes them from being an approved facility Ive been a AAA member for 46 years and also a Premier member this is the worst service Id ever received and the owner guy DICK he needs to find a new line of work read more

Shout out to Nick who gave me a lift when my trusted Honda left me stranded in Pismo (busted water pump). Great service and good company for my short trip to my local mechanic. If you need a tow, call this company. Request Nick! read more

Del from College Towing was the utmost in professional service. He made sure I was safe and comfortable before loading my vehicle, drove safely to my destination, and was polite and considerate the entire journey. I would have no doubts about calling College Towing again. read more

My daughter's car would not start and it was parked in a parking garage with low clearance. I had difficulty finding a tow company that could help and after two days I found College Tow. They were knowledgeable, friendly, very helpful and reasonably priced. They showed up when promised, made my daughter feel very comfortable and had the car out of the garage in a short amount of time. If you're in need of a tow in SLO, this is the company you need to call! read more

The tire blew out for my boyfriend while he was driving our car back to SLO from LOVR. He was in a tricky spot to get the spare on so he could get back home, but Bryce was super helpful in getting the car back into working order. Very fair prices and good customer service. read more

Got a flat on the freeway. The driver David was amazing. Went out of his way for me so I wasn't to late to work. Very helpful. With a smile on his face. Thank you. read more

I realize that "heroes" show up in different forms and I will just say that Scotty was my "Knight in shining armor" yesterday. I've been with AAA for almost 50 years and was left stranded by another company in SLO after waiting for over 2 hours in the morning for them to bring and install a new replacement battery. Tyler finally showed up, without the battery, very discourteous, rude, unkind, unprofessional, disrespectful responding, "Just because you called for a new battery doesn't mean that I'm bringing one." My battery died again in the middle of the Costco / Home Depot intersection, placing me in harm's way. I called AAA again with four lanes of traffic around me, requesting a "tow" to somewhere "safe." Scotty shows up searching throughout the Costco parking lot for me ... thank you for not giving up on finding me. Although he had limited resources as he was called for a "tow," he hears my story and responds, "We need to make this right for you; what can we do?" Hearing that the fabulous automotive team at Costco sent me out with a new battery in my trunk (thank you, Aaron), Scotty gets out the one tool he has and 5 minutes later, I am safely on my way. I missed every appointment yesterday, but was never more grateful to safely pull into my garage at home over 6+ hours after the first call to AAA was made. Kuddos to you, Scotty, and to your manager, John, who was so receptive to my call to sing your praises! Thank you for going "above and beyond" the call of duty and taking so much pride in what you do. It is people like you (and the amazing angels who pushed me out of harms way) that make our world an even richer and more beautiful place to be. I will never forget all of you and thank you from the depths of my heart. read more

A big shout out to Caesar who was the driver and towed me in the pouring rain from San Luis Obispo to Arroyo Grande. I appreciated the reponse time as within 30 minutes of my call he arrived. We first tried to air up the tires but decided it needed to be towed all this in the rain. Thankful that I have AAA roadside service as worth every penny having a peace of mind. read more

i cant thank college towing enough, very quick response and showed up 40 minutes earlier than i was quoted, very professional and just a very pleasant experience, i definitely recommend them for any and all your towing needs ! read more

Cesar was awesome and did a great job accommodating my needs! I would highly recommend him!

Delmar was an angel sent from heaven on this hell tempered day. Professional , courteous & witty. went the extra mile when he certainly did not have too . Thank you again Delmar read more

They need to change their business name to College Student Rip Off! $300 to do a 15 min hook up and tow less than 2 miles to their yard. Then another $90 for a storage fee for the car being there less than two hours. Disgusting that they would charge these kinds of prices to hard-working college students who made a mistake. read more

This morning I contacted AAA to request a tow as my 1999 LandCruiser wouldn't start. Mike from College Towing was dispatched to my location. Just wanted everyone to know that he was TERRIFIC. Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He quickly diagnosed that he could get the LC started with a jump so I could drive to Morin Bros. rather than be towed (although he was prepared to tow if the jump-start didn't work). Just wanted all to know that MIKE represented College Towing in an impressive manner and I will be calling on College Towing for any future towing needs. WELL DONE! read more

They are very dishonest! I had my car towed through AAA premiere member service and when we spoke to AAA they said that the towing service should be covered with no extra charges since the mileage is below the 200 miles limit. When the driver Michael, delivered the vehicle, he stated that it went over 200 miles and demanded that we pay him almost $100 for the excess mileage. He was very adamant, threatened my brother and said that if we do not pay him, he will take our vehicle back to San Luis Obispo. We will get this issue escalated with AAA so that they can be wary with the towing services they are partnered up with. We are writing this review to let people know not to deal with this towing company and hoping that you will not get the same horrible experience we received. They will find all the opportunity to rip you off. read more
