I got charged $500 to get my car out of impound after I parked in a VISITOR parking space. To charge the average person that much money for a car I need to get to work that same day is nothing short of criminal. These people are thieves, and crooks looking to keep their fellow man down. If you need a tow in Pinellas county call +1 (727) 598-1496 His name is Landon and he's genuinely a good person, with a fair price. read more

Just one more heads up since this stress happened today. I got my car towed over a week ago. And now they are claiming that I didn't pay them at all even though my statements says otherwise. They are the threatening to impound my car again or sell it if I don't pay them more money than I already did. This just proves they are a scam and just want more money. Be careful. read more

CommTow - Towing Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

Owner is facing lawsuits for unfair fees. The local news has more information about this company.

If I could negative stars I would. This place is a scam. They promised one price then warned to raising that price at certain time lapse, but when I got there on time, the person took so long and was difficult that they raised the price by the time i actually got to pay. They are rude. God help anyone that gets towed by this company. read more

you would expect an inconvenience when your vehicle is towed, rightly or wrongfully. however, this company takes that to another unpleasantness level. If I was not a world wise person living in this pleasant era with all its ugliness, would say that they are condescending, almost xenophobic, use bully tactics, are rude and seem to think they are the police for some reason. The ' lady' I dealt with was having a very, very bad day (life?). Zero customer service and humanity! Her hiring requirement was rudeness, I guess. Negative stars or poop emojis for this particular company. read more

Very predatory business I've never been towed before but I notice they target a lot of rental vehicles like enterprise to be exact since they know the multi billion dollar company it's going to pay their bullshit $160 hookup and $6 a mile bill like literally these ccksuckers are literally impounding hundreds of rental vehicles a month read more

Commtow damaged my vehicle and is avoiding responsibility. From what I see from their other reviews other people have had the same issues. they have open investigations against them being a predatory business. Justin Heller says they film everything but yet are refusing to give us the footage they say they have. This company over charges, steals, and damages in hopes of the average person not following through with any legal claims. they are in the wrong. read more

If I can give 0 stars I would. I never ever give reviews but the world should know how terrible this place is. I finally got all the paperwork to prove my tow was falsely done but management, Ryan, was very rude. Didn't acknowledge me and was being very unprofessional. Never in my life have I ever dealt with this or received such responses. I'm not sure if it was my last name that made Ryan disinterested in anything I had to say but he deserves to be fired or some sort of consequence. We shouldn't continue to deal with racism in 2025. I'm outraged and looking into legal matters. read more

The absolute worst company. They tow people for backing in to guest spots when it isn't marked anywhere that it's illegal. They charge the max "lien release" fee so it's $250 PLUS the tow fee. They search our parking lot looking for people to tow. Over $400 to get your car back and the fees are adding up every minute. read more

I can't find the Tampa CommTow location (2805 N Florida Ave, Tampa, FL 33602) on Yelp, so this one gets it. After being let in by a guest and using the gate code, we parked at the very top of the Slade at Channelside. We specifically parked in a spot that had the reservation numbers completely painted over in white (I have photos as proof). It didn't matter. CommTow still towed our vehicle, despite those spots not even having "No Parking" signs or warnings of any sort. Our vehicle was towed for "no pass" despite being in a spot that has absolutely nothing to suggest it's a reserved spot. In fact, we went out of our way to find a spot that wasn't reserved. There is no way to describe what CommTow and companies like them does, other than calling it theft. They steal vehicles from the working class they claim to be a part of, and extort them for money (in mine and my wife's case, $185). The Slade at Channelside and CommTow know exactly what they're doing. This is a sham. You probably tow more perfectly good cars, than you do ones that actually need it. Absolute class traitors. read more

This company is a scam $483 they towed me while i was at my friends house helping take care of her. Got towed between 5:30 am and 5:50 on a sunday. Im from out of state, it was a nightmare had to be back because my daughter was in the hospital absolutely NO empathy. I can understand a regular tow fee but $483.00 for 5 hours total scumbags read more

They towed my vehicle for parking DIRECTLY beside the visitor parking (5 total spaces all were full). I was only there a few hours, and they're telling me they need $500 to get it back. Disgusting, predatory tow company. Based on the reviews, they'll have to their nasty, dishonest business tactics before God some day. May he have mercy on their souls read more

we need to get together and file a class action lawsuit against this company! id like to get a list of people who've been wrongfully towed, damage to their cars, using predatory tactics, employees being wrongfully treated, as well as "extra fees" that nobody is told about until you pick up the car. it's definitely sketchy its cash only, i believe they over charge and are pocketing the expenses! these "extra fees" that are not mentioned in documentation and only told about when you pick up your car are being taken from the customer and pocketed. anywhere thats cash only especially a business should raise a lot of concern! ive had my car towed before due to it breaking down and i could pay with a credit card, not this company! it should raise a lot of red flags that it's cash only, they need tjj on be investigated! i saw a post where someone said they will release your car for free if the leasing office calls and said it was wrongfully towed this is not true! the leasing office at my apartment called and said my car shouldn't have been towed and they said there's nothing they can do, since they towed it. id have to pay tk get it out. whoever wrote that is probably with the company. the very few positive reviews i belive are from the owners and management! i worked for a company who would make fake accounts to write positive reviews because the negative reviews were so overwhelming high. i quit that job because im not one who enjoys making people's lives harder than it is. then come to find out they got suid because they were doing some illegal bs. i guarantee this company is doing the same, these people are horrible i was in ohio for 3 weeks because my grandmother was passing away from cancer. i sat there and took care of her until she passed. i just got home at 8:45pm tonight and there's a note on my car saying i have until 11:00pm tonight to get my registration updated, i did it through the mail and my new registration sticker hasn't arrived. i just lost my fucking grandma and i've been out of state for 3 weeks, these people don't even give you enough time to fix whatever issue is wrong with the car, i got a 24hr notice from 11:00pm yesterday that tonight at 11:00 my car will be towed. the fuck is wrong with these people! people are struggling!!! people have lives and situations that interfere with our day to day life! i just lost my grandmother now my car is going to be towed! i have no way to get my registration, dmv is closed i already paid for it to be mailed but it hasn't come in yet yes i i renewed my registration late my grandma was dying and i had to watch her suffer. i wasn't in florida to go to the dmv, i filed my registration online, if i placed a printout of my registration they will tow my car, because when i first bought the car i had a print out of my registration taped to my car and they towed it that night. i missed 3 weeks of work taking care of my dying grandmom, i went without pay for that time, i have just enough momey to pay my rent and bills, i cant afford to spend hundreds of dollars to get my car out for real you are only about money, i have no way to get the registration in time!! like i said if i make a print out and put it on my tag they will tow it anyway because they did that shit to me the first night i bought the car, i parked in the visitors parking with documentation taped to my license plate stating car was just bought, will be going to dmv in the morning, i wake up to go to the dmv and my car was towed! i cant believe these fucking people. this is the worst tow company ive ever experienced! i hope you all mother fuckers deal with some life shit and someone comes and makes it worst for ya'll!! that way you know how the fuck it feels to struggle!!! once again i just lost my grandmother and then have just 2hrs to get a new tag decal! i hope you feel this same way and all your shit gets taken away! edit: wednesday my registration is out for delivery, but i lost my car. fuck you comtow read more

I'll never understand the logic behind towing a vehicle unless it's parked in a handicap or emergency lane. Why not just issue a parking ticket? After coming back from deployment, I went to visit a friend at his downtown Tampa apartment and spent almost $200 at a local bar. And how does the city repay me? By towing my car at 2:00 a.m. This is exactly why I avoid going out and spending money downtown. Everything is so overpriced--bars are expensive, parking is expensive, and if you miss paying for parking, it's a $200 tow fee. I ended up having to walk 40 minutes in the middle of the night to get to Comm Tow (a fittingly terrible name). Not only did I have to "schedule an appointment" to pick up my own car, but the staff seemed lazy and had bad attitudes--probably high school dropouts. The irony was almost laughable: on one of their tow trucks, in big bold letters, it read, "Support Our Troops." I couldn't help but laugh. I just can't wrap my head around the motives of these low-tier towing companies. It's embarrassing for them, and it's making me rethink ever spending money in this city again. Do better CommTow. read more

this company is predatory and will tow your rental car even if you tell the front desk you'll have a rental car 5 days and send all info. vin and everything. commtow still came in the middle of the night on day 6 and towed it. they will abuse the contracts they have with complexes. just use another company. read more

What could improve? This company could go up in flames, that would be a major improvement. This company is predatory, seeking every available avenue to keep your car from getting back to you. There should be laws against making it nearly impossible to retrieve your car. For starters, the ridiculous costs are criminal. It cannot possibly cost them over $500 to give me my car back. Then, if you're someone struggling financially, don't plan on asking your friends for help, they will not accept split payments, nor payment from anyone other than yourself. This is apparently "standard practice". I would sooner recommend totaling your vehicle than getting a tow from this company. They work with apartment complexes and big businesses for both sides to profit, prey upon unsuspecting victims, and strike hard. My advice: If you see a commtow sign, FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO PARK. Update: there are more fees if you need to reschedule an appointment, even if thats due to an issue on their end. The hide behind "county fees" and the like to squeeze every dime out of the working class. Genuine question: how much do you have to hate humans and humanity to own a towing company? Wish I could rate less than one star or thumbs down this company read more

They towed my car when I was out of town. I was never notified by ComTow. I immediately called when I got home and they laughed and said they sold it. I will see them in court. I have pulled all my phone records showing they never called once. My car only had 24K miles on it. They are crooks read more

The five star reviews are from a person named Justin and that is also the name of an employee with commtow. I think it's possible that all 5 star reviews are from employees of commtow because anyone that has had the misfortune to have dealt with this company would never thank them for taking good care of their car after it was towed. This company is as close to breaking the law as they can get. They are predators stalking apartment parking lots to tow your car in the middle of the night. I had it happen to me and it was an illegal tow. I have registered a complaint with the consumer protection office and sent copies to the attorney general's office. They must be stopped. read more

Son's car was towed. Wrote down what was required as shown and kept car hostage over the weekend so they could add more fees in addition to adding a 70 gate fee when it during normal hours. The cars registration was in the glove box and the new sticker was on the tag not to mention it's on the dmv website. They use entrapment techniques to rob us with outrageous fees that don't even match what they advertise see pic. This is and should be illegal business activity. These guys are predators splitting monies with apartments and all come on Rico case read more

towed my car bc I had the wheel off to do a repair. Stopped briefly to pick up my kid, car was on their truck when I got back. It was obvious I was working on the car, parts and tools were all sitting there. My brand new axle now growls because these limp bastards tried loading my car up by the wheel hub. In the past they towed my van bc I took the plate off to sell it. they wanted to charge 140 for first day and 80 per day or some crap until I could get it back. I abandoned it. A/c didn't work, sun roof leaked, and some sensors were out, I kept the key so they could call a locksmith.....good luck that's what you get for being thieves! Anyone have a piece of crap they need gone. leave it with me, you'll have it removed for free. lets load every yard they have with worthless crap... who is with me! Stonegate apartments, palm harbor. take the plate off, leave the car, free tow. the worse shape the better! oh yeah I think they are lacking in endowment as well, just saying read more

Absolute scam. Disgusting head quarters and disrespectful workers. Will look for anything to charge you for even if it's not in compliance with the state of Florida DOT and your counties regulations. Paid $500 yet they somehow can't confirm the lien on my car was removed. read more

Giving a one star is too kind, but I can't leave zero stars. Justin Heller and Commtow Towing are absolute PREDATORS, scammers and horrible customer service to boot! Just despicable all around. We got towed last month, 2 miles, at a cost of $550 (!). The invoice was padded with "city fees" that are completely bogus. I know how to file an official complaint and did. Quickly received a response from Hillsborough County Code Enforcement that they are "building a case" against this crooked company and indeed have over 12 certified complaints against them, and counting!! So, here's your ACTION - If you want to get your fees back AND get this business cited for fraud, contact HC Investigator Cindy Anderson AndersonC@HCFLGov.net. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, begin by filing an official complaint with them. This guy has quite a reputation already! Let's get him booted! Your voice and input are critical. read more

This company is a complete scam They tow without warning or any kind of notice. My friend was helping me move and had her car in the "guest" parking and when we came out an hour later the car was gone. The "patrol" apartment complexes in st Pete to pounce on cars for no reason $175 bucks, they tow cars nightly without being called or asked. They don't work for or with these places they prey on unsuspecting victims and probably make thousands every night on people that are parked for less than a few hours Take my advice, park on the street and get a 20$ ticket from the city These people are awful read more

$380 to get my car and I was parked in a guest parking spot. I wish terrible things on the owner of this business whoever it is. They really are a bottom tier human being lol read more

The fella driving this evening had quite the mouth on him. It's one thing to be a contracted tow company it's another thing to be an invasive prick. If there is a problem with a car on a property you are contracted to tow it. But what you don't have the right tow do is shine ur lights all throughout the vehicle to see what goods might be in there. And when a concerned neighbor asks why your in a neighbor's car a simple & respectful "I'm contracted with the tow company" would have sufficed. The "I can do what I want" "where's your car I'll look in there too if I want" agressive behavior is gonna end horribly for that guy one day. read more

We had to fight with them, eventually calling for the police to step in, to retrieve our goods out of the car we didn't want any longer.

Money hungry & Horrible communication! They towed my car from my apartment complex ! Then had the nerve to wreck the side of my car and expected me to pay $185.00 when it wasn't even a whole hour ! read more

Horrible communication. I had to tell the girl 20+ times the make and model, she seemed wasted. I also had to call 15 times and she told me they didn't have my friends car even though my complex said that's the company they go through for towing.. read more

I have a scooter & a car here at the complex. For over a year I shared my scooter parking space with a boy who lived upstairs and his scooter. Because my scooter is so small I feel guilty about taking up an entire space. He has since moved out of the complex and now I have to park my scooter alone. Because it is so small and hard to see when parked, often, people swing in to park in what appears to be an empty space, nearly hitting my scooter. After a few very close calls, I started parking my car very close to my scooter for protection. Sunday night, yes I was over the white line, but I was close to my scooter in efforts to protect it. I have been parking this way for over 6 months and have had no problems or warnings that I was at all in any violation. My towing fee was $152 on top of the $20 uber ride down to go get my car. I was in complete shock of the whole situation and was crying through the whole process. The woman at the towing company was giving me an incredibly hard time and unjustly harassing me. She was hassling me over the fact that my signature on my credit card receipt didn't exactly match my signature on my license. I was distraught, leaning against a building to sign, and in a rush to get my car back, my signature wasn't well drawn out. She continued to draw out the process and make me wait extra unnecessary time before opening the gate and allowing me to get my car. I wish I could give it less than one star. I am absolutely horrified at how abominable the service was and how unwilling the woman was to be understanding. I asked for a break, but when she told me she couldn't I handed my card over to just get it over with so I could go home, and she was still unnecessarily brash with me. read more

If I could give negative zero stars I would. my car was towed out of my apartment complex on July 28 @ 7am I went to pick my car up @ 11am that same day I was charged $434.58 to get my car back complete rip off an this isn't even the worst part of the story, after getting to the location in st Pete i was denied access to get my purse from my car I explain to very rude and unprofessional receptionist that I am uncomfortable with her going thru my car without me being present as I didn't remember exactly where my purse was she didn't care just insisted on me giving her my keys I was then told " okay well call the cops" which I did an was allowed to get my purse from my car. Once I went to get in my car I did a walk around for any damages or scratch i noticed my bumper was hanging I informed there employee she told me "take pictures I'll give you an email to send it to" which I did. Once I got home a tried emailing "admin@commtowing.com" only to realize it was a fake email. finally monday afternoon a young man gave me the correct email "admin@commtow.com" I sent an email regarding the incident with pictures and videos on July 29 today is August 2 and I have not gotten a response so called an ask to speak with management an was told there is noway to reach manager other that the email I explain my situation with email that was never responded to an there wasn't a solution for that. This Is a very shady unprofessional company that needs to be shut down. Trust I will be taking legal action read more

Customer service representative on the phone confirmed that we could pay card for $191 to retrieve car- or cash $180. Given it was 11:30pm we decided to just pay with a card- but the employee at the site verbatim said "no, imma give you 15 minutes to go get cash to pay, and if you're not here in 15 minutes I'm gone & she "won't be there when we get back" like what kind of threat is this?? We understand we got OUR car towed, but her threat was 100% unacceptable. Also, if they really can't take credit cards after normal business hours- they should communicate with who answers their 800 number. Super sketchy. read more

Horrible service and they stole things out of my vehicle when they towed it. Very inflexible in times like this and I am high risk so I didn't appreciate the man in the bucket hat rummaging through my car stealing my things and looking for my insurance card when I was told to just email it to him. Very unprofessional company. read more

This company was extremely hard to get a hold of I was on hold for hours and left multiple voicemails about where my car was with no response. There was barley any cars in the lot when I went to pick up and no one there, so no reason I should be on hold for HOURS! They steal your car and won't pick up the phone to let you have it back. When I finally got a hold of them, I found out they wrongfully towed my car at the apartment complex I have LIVED in for 2 years! Crappy towing service that screws people over for money. read more
