Doug's Affordable Towing is the BEST! I spoke with the owner to schedule a tow for my dad's PT Cruiser. He was friendly, professional, super accommodating and communicative. A truck happened to be available right away and Justin met me at my parent's house to tow my dad's dead car down to the mechanic. My dad loves that car and Justin took very good care of it. He was friendly, professional, efficient and careful - a genuine pleasure to work with. State Farm covered the tow and Doug's made it very easy in that regard as well. I highly recommend this company - the best tow experience I've had yet. read more

Doug's Affordable Towing has high reviews because they do a great job. Simple- quick to the point- chances are you are reaching out to them because you need something moved, and you want a good price. There's not much more to it than this... I recommend them with five stars of confidence, the person that I worked with was named Justin, and he was a wonderful sales associate. I found him pleasant to be around, was able to do what I needed him to do, and it did not take long. Applaud and highly recommend. read more

Very easy to coordinate with, fast service, friendly, and the most reasonably priced. They were willing to tow me less than a mile from mechanic to mechanic. I would definitely recommend Doug's! read more

To say that Doug at Doug's affordable towing is a lifesaver is not an exaggeration. I have been stranded after working hours and Doug has come out to save me. His entire team has shown professionalism and courtesy. In the past decade Doug has towed my car several times. He is our family guy, handling my daughter in law in an emergency as well. Recently I inherited a 64 year old classic sports car. Part of that inheritance is realizing that you may have towing far more often then you would've ever imagined. The care that Doug and his team have shown and putting my teeny tiny sports car on their flatbed, is unique in the industry. I do not have enough strong words to say how safe and secure I and my car are with Dougs Affordable Towing. read more

I broke down on Memorial day 200 miles from home. I need a tow to a transmission shop. My truck was picked up and delivered to the shop within an hour. Amazing. Fast and very friendly. read more

Used him once and all was well, asked for another the next day... not so good. Started out good but went to confirm the final cost to reaffirm what his estimate could be to make sure I have what is needed to pay. He got frustrated and started to make me look like argumentative. I even apologized to attempt to de-escalate the issue, that I may have misunderstood and did not intend on making him feel as such, and he continued with his frustrated tone, which eventually hung up on me. Continued... 0-100 really quick with upset tone. Just got off the phone with my upset wife. The driver (Doug) texted several times and then called with the same frustrated voice and my wife was nearly in tears when speaking to me. She called me, wondering what happened. He continues to text my wife after the phone call with her; while explained my perspective of the conversation I had with him. He needs to chalk this up as a misunderstanding and move on. All I did was ask about his charges and was a bit confused about how they were applied when using the ferry. Is it possible I said something he did not like, sure... Even if I was in the wrong, is it wrong to re-confirm how its done and how the charges are done since I was confused about the charges for both going on the ferry and off when he is done dropping off the vehicle. He proceeded to talk about it being done the same way as a taxi. I was not familiar with taxi charges. I think i have used it once. I was worried about uncontrollable waiting times/charges when getting stuck in the ferry line. Very surprising with his 4.5 Star rating. I guess we all have our bad days. While I do not believe I had done anything wrong. Doug, I apologize for any misunderstanding's that resulted in this exchange. I hope you consider apologizing how you spoke to my wife over the phone. read more

After a fail from AAA, I had to source my own local tow service to get my SUV to the repair shop. My vehicle has an electronic shifter and I could not get it into neutral. Doug had the right type of dolly rig to get my car taken care off. (see pic) I was also worried because it was parked under a carport with a cargo box on top, and I was afraid the box would hit the carport roof. Doug was very careful as he maneuvered and was great at explaining what he was doing during the process. He got my car hitched up and transported to the shop easy-peasy. Doug was also genuinely a friendly and caring person. I appreciated his attitude and helpful personality. I highly recommend Doug if you are in need of towing. read more

Doug's Affordable Towing - Towing Near Me

I usually don't give 5 star reviews just to anyone. I was having a bad day and I was mad as hell... and thought my starter went out but then a Gift from God was sent and his name was Doug! I could've gotten any driver from his company but knowing someone like Doug is their leader and their teacher gives me hope about towing companies. He came through and even checked my vehicles and told me that my starter is fine and it is most likely a timing chain. He was able to save me a couple thousand dollars atleast by giving me his 32 year experience with cars and towing cars in general. He was such a positive person that on my worst day, he put a smile on my face with his hilarious jokes. "My wife tells me to grow up and I'm like NO!, get outta my fort!" Such a dope dude! Thanks again for saving me. read more

I was stranded on the side of the freeway and when I couldn't get ahold of my insurance company Everybody's Auto Service recommended Doug's. They were super friendly and fast! An extra thank you to the driver, Justin, who made a very stressful situation a little easier. I would highly recommend this company and will use them again if I'm ever in a jam read more

Out of the goodness of his heart, Doug rescued me from the middle lane of the 405 N when my Jeep died during rush hour. It was epic. He pulled me over to the safety of the side of the freeway. And he did not charge me anything. Extraordinary kindness. Thank you so much. read more

Doug made my day! Yeah, I found out I had a dead battery just before the snow fell. My car doesn't do snow/ice so I waited until it all thawed out. After checking around online I found Doug's Affordable Towing, and I'm so happy I did. Doug came right away and within minutes I was up and running. He even told me how to get reimbursed by my insurance company. Plus, he recommended places to buy a battery, and since I'm new to Washington, he also recommended mechanics! Thanks, Doug. You rock! read more

Terrible service. Very un helpful. The guy has no communication skills. expressed that he would no longer be able to make the pick up. Or that it would be an additional couple hours. I then said okay thanks for your help. This sensitive man took some offense to it and took the time to call back, just to Hang up. (Tell me you're not mentally matured without telling me) Company is complete trash and don't waste your time. read more

Changing my review to a 3 star. 5 for my first tow and 1 for 2nd attempt as a customer. Not going to even attempt to give my side of the story because the owner will just call me a lier. read more

This company is amazing! We called to get a quote for a tow and instead we got some invaluable advice on how to double check for a dead battery. Very prompt and very kind. Impeccable customer service! read more

We needed her car towed to Bothell Toyota Specialists, and it was these folks who referred us to Doug's affordable towing. Customer service could not have been more friendly and effective, and the total was handled professionally. I could not have been more pleased with how this was handled. Thank you. Good folks at Doug's affordable towing Kindest regards, Fr. Michael Ryan, Saint John's Episcopal Church (Kirkland, WA) read more

LOCKED OUT OF A RENTAL CAR I'm in Everett, visiting from CA, & mistakenly locked the keys to the rental car inside of it. I'm stranded here in an unfamiliar city & found Doug's on Google (other company's were closed on Sunday). I called them & was pleased to hear they would help me with my Enterprise rental. They arrived about 15 minutes later, just like they said and quickly opened the car door & the process was very quick. The driver was professional and kind. If I were to need any other services, Doug's would be the first call for me, no doubt. Thank you for your great service and quick responses. read more

OMG! Truly a lifesaver! I was broke down on 220th in MLT, headed west, as it approaches Hghw 99, just after noon. Traffic was heavy and thanks to me and my car, very backed up and people were yelling at me etc. I had left a voicemail hoping he could arrive before a couple others that were more than an hour out. When I recd a call back, he said "let me guess your blocking on 220th" I confirmed. He asked if I could get out of the way he was trying to get thru! LOL. He stopped as his way pass to see if we could at least clear roadway, but that didn't work. So he dropped the car he was towing, thankfully going to the same shop, which was under a quarter mile away, and came straight back and hooked my vehicle up and took my car there too! Thankfully he was available, quick and ever so friendly! Saved me from hours of unfriendly ridicule and nasty comments. He is my first call next time I'm in need! Thank you affordable towing! read more

Called Doug's during a snowstorm for a strangers car that slid off the road near my house. Incredibly, they arrived very promptly, despite the ice and snow. They got them out and on their way. No problem. Will definitely call them again next time I'm stuck in Edmonds. read more

I couldn't have been happier even though I was in a tough situation. He went above and beyond and was just a great guy. I will recommend him to anybody who ever needs a tow or car help. read more

I called several places to get a quote for towing a vehicle away that we sold. One place was a wrong number, but by chance they knew about Doug's and recommended them. They were responsive, professional, arrived when they said they would, were safety-conscious, were very careful with the car, and (as the name implies) they were affordable. In fact they were half the price of some of their competitors! I highly recommend them! read more

Hit a curb, leaving my car immobilized but was able to get Doug's towing to pick up my car within an hour. Doug was very friendly and helped me figure out my car situation, even giving my passenger and I a lift to the junkyard.

Rude, abrasive, extortionist. Quoted me $99, then, upon arrival at my mechanics wanted to charge $150. When he asked if that's ok, perplexed i answered"no".Without any further exchange he got back in his truck and drove off. No explanation just left me standing there. DO NOT USE DOUGS TOWING!!!! Bad business practices, criminal behavior ! Had to give the post a star to be able to post, but should be a big fat 0 read more

Have been using Doug's Affordable Towing for many years and for multiple tows. He's my go to guy. And wasn't disappointed when he recently brought my classic Mercedes home from the shop to my house for detailing while the engine and transmission were out for rebuilds. And today he took it back for reassembly. Doug was, as always, competent, professional and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

***BEWARE*** Verbally abusive owner! So, I stupidly locked myself out of my car today and called Doug to open my door. I told him where I was and what I drove, he said to give him 20 and to continue to shop at the store I was in. After shopping for a little over 20 min, I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check the time and realized that I had accidently hit airplane mode, while putting it in my jean pocket. I immediately called him and said "I am so sorry, I just realized I accidently turned my phone to airplane mode, I'm not sure if you called me yet or not". He said he did, and that he left me a message. I told him that I didn't notice message, because I literally just looked at my phone and saw the airplane sign. Again, I said I was sorry. He said that he was "still here", not knowing how long it was since he called, I wasn't sure if he was half way out of the large parking lot or what, since I was still inside the store he told me I could be shopping in, and walking towards the doors, I asked light heartedly, "ok where might ya be?" Thinking that I might still need to direct him to the car. He condescendingly barked back "Well I'm by the Crown Victory of course"!!!! I was immediately irked by this, I was about to pay $65 for 2 minutes of work and felt that was WAY over the top RUDE. When I got to my car, I said "sorry didn't mean to make you mad." He instantly lashed out and started yelling at me over and over "Mad"?! "Me"?!! "WTF" (used full language) "what I'm pi**ed now?!! Really?!!!!! You're calling me mad??!! I repeated the part he had said so rudely on the phone, and he kept yelling, telling me he was here to "help" people and !!THIS!! is what he gets (uh, no it's a business and we are customers) yelling that I had asked "where he be" (and said it in mimicking voice) and that I acted like "I wasn't listening to him"!!!! and "like I didn't listen to his voicemail"!! and that "I was acting like I had no idea what was happening"!!!! On and on and on. Quite the show for the parking lot of people. I stood there listening to him thinking I'M the one NOT listening?!?! I told him when I called him back, that I did not know if he had called yet or not, because I JUST NOTICED my phone was on airplane mode. Then I TOLD HIM I didn't notice the voicemail, because I just noticed the airplane icon and called him back. So how would I know where he was??! I don't presume the world evolves around me, and that he would just wait all day by my car for me to call him back. For somebody who felt SO strongly insulted, that I should suggest that he was a snarky, rude, jerk from hell (which he was), he sure did have A LOT of commentary (complete with mimicking), about me asking the very question that made him give the A-hole remark, for which I called him out on to begin with. If he "wasn't mad" by the real easy question, he would NOT have had all that nastiness to say concerning the question for which he yelled all the way until the lock was done, and he sped off. He even shot me a text after he left saying, "I wasn't even there for a minute". (I have never had a business harass me after the fact before!) He was so furious, he left without charging me!! I would rather have not been treated and shook up this way, and just bought the service. It has been over a few hours now, and I am still very shaken by this verbal assault, and that is exactly what it was. Seriously folks, this is the guy that would knock the smack out of you for the slightest, if he had even a sip of beer in him. Woman or not!! Well, this woman was NOT going to take his crap, and he didn't like it much. I would NOT recommend this business. UPDATE: His response is not an accurate and true version of what actually happened (no surprise). I was very polite and apologetic that I had accidentally turned my phone to airplane, why would I be mad at him for my mistake? Makes no sense at all. I got irked by his obnoxious/rude response. I asked 1 time "where ya be?" because I didn't know if I needed to flag him where my car was or not, I had this happen before, and the tow driver just came into the parking lot and called so I could show him where I was parked. I walked up and did call him out on it, but all I said was "sorry to make you mad" I didn't get up in his face, yell, wave my arms, zip. He was the one that got insta-pissed and went off on me. And by reading his feedback, I see I'm am not the only one he has yelled at, hung up on, and has been an total jackass too. People don't just make this stuff up. He IS verbally abusive, with a dangerous temper. I am not broke, I don't need a free service, and why would you give a free service to somebody that "wrongfully called you out" or who was coming at you all out of control? You wouldn't, that's why. You would refuse service or charge extra. And no, not because you're a "nice guy", you're a jerk. And why would a person leave a bad review, for a free service from "nice guy"? They wouldn't. read more

Very pleased with the experience and great customer service I received from Doug's Affordable Towing. I had a difficult to Remove RV that was abandoned on my Mom's property.

Complete jerk over the phone. Instead of hearing me out over a misunderstanding of technical difficulties (bad signal to be heard over phone) I get this whole attitude explanation of how I called too on time of opening hours. Well Doug thanks for hearing what a could be customer was trying to say. You even hung up on me, how is that professional ? I hadn't said one word before I was hung up on. Only time you heard my voice was a voicemail you clearly took the wrong way. Update: in response to this owner's cover up here he is presenting the mis understanding which was the "what the heck" ( I could not hear your voice and said hello twice) thereby me trying to say technical difficulties but of course we were talking over one another as I expected you to hear the customer out but yet could not. Non of your returning calls were accepted for the simple fact you were unprofessional to hear me out and instead believed I was talking over you and so you hung up. Take a breath next time and wait to hear what the customer is trying to say. Been in the world of selling way to long to know listening is the first step. I know you guys deal with a lot but stereo typing an experience won't get you anywhere read more

May you never need to have your car towed, but if you do, I would highly recommend Doug's Affordable Towing. Called them on a Thursday afternoon and they were able to come by within less than an hour to help my mother move her van to a tire center. Doug was quick to answer, very polite over the phone, showed up within the exact time frame he said he would, and treated my mother's new van very carefully (even though it made a mess on his tow truck! Sorry Doug!). They definitely live up to their name as affordable and I know that if I ever need towing services in the future, they will be the first on my list to contact. Bonus, they arrived in a cool pink tow truck for breast care awareness. "Towing for Tatas." How cool is that? :D read more

Great management team and crew. Safe, reliable , affordable and punctual. When I need a tow in the surrounding area they are my first call

I needed a tow on a specific day and specific time. Was driving a car over to Bainbridge Isl. and then needed it towed back after removing the engine - towed back to Lake Forest Park! Many businesses didn't even want to be bothered - and if they were interested, were going to charge well over $500 with mileage, ferry fees, wait time etc. Doug agreed to meet me at a specific time, was there early and did a wonderful job. We just missed first boat at Kingston, had to wait, then had to wait more on board for a strange medical emergency. This would've resulted in well over $150 extra. Doug worked with me on some costs to keep it reasonable and within his quoted price. I would DEFINITELY use him again (and probably will to bring car back after motor rebuild). Great service and great business owner! read more
