    Review of East Valley Towing: A Cautionary Experience I recently had a highly unsatisfactory experience with East Valley Towing that raised significant concerns about their transparency, professionalism, and customer service. After calling their dispatch and confirming that my apartment garage's 6'8" clearance would be sufficient for a low-clearance tow truck, I arranged for my inoperable vehicle to be moved from the street into my assigned parking space--less than 100 feet away--at a fixed rate of $125. When the driver arrived, however, he charged an additional $75, claiming that the dispatch hadn't informed him of the vehicle's inoperable condition, which would require a jump-start and additional unloading. I had clearly communicated to the dispatcher that my car, towed from San Diego, was inoperable. Assuming this was a simple miscommunication, I paid the extra $75 without protest. To my surprise, the truck they sent was taller than the clearance, despite their confirmation that it would clear the 6'8" height limit. The driver initially assured me his truck would fit the displayed clearance level, but upon arrival, he admitted it could not, citing that the clearance was "lower than displayed due to a slight incline." He left my car in an unassigned spot, stating he couldn't send another truck until the measurements were verified. My apartment management suggested I contact East Valley Towing again for this specific service, noting that the company is contracted with our complex, which includes garages with even lower clearances than 6'8". When I requested follow-up service to complete the job, East Valley Towing quoted $375, citing the need for "special equipment" and two drivers. To address the clearance concerns, I consulted with the complex and had the garage measured; this confirmed a consistent 6'8" clearance at the incline and over 7.5 feet of ceiling height within the garage. I then reached out to East Valley Towing to resolve the discrepancy and negotiate a fair price. In this follow-up call, I spoke to a dispatcher named Jennifer, who admitted that truck sent on the first visit was indeed 7'2" tall--too high to meet the agreed-upon 6'8" requirement. She also contradicted my building management's assurance that East Valley Towing is contracted for tenant services within our complex, claiming they only perform impound services. I politely requested a breakdown of the $375 charges in writing, specifically asking for a description of how "special equipment" (winching and go jacks) would be used. Jennifer's tone shifted, and she refused to provide any documentation, claiming she "did not have the time." When I asked if there was a manager or owner I could speak with, she claimed there was no manager or owner of the business. This was despite pauses where she appeared to be consulting with others before responding to each question. When I asked for alternative ways to receive a written estimate, Jennifer disconnected the call without warning. Based on this experience, I am concerned that East Valley Towing may be in violation of several California laws, including: * California Vehicle Code (CVC) regulations requiring transparent pricing, * California's Unfair Competition Law for potentially deceptive and unfair pricing practices, and * Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) for the misrepresentation of service suitability. As a disabled veteran who relies on reputable and honest service providers, I feel East Valley Towing's handling of this situation was unprofessional, misleading, and lacking in accountability. I strongly advise others to avoid East Valley Towing to prevent a similarly troubling experience.

    Worst towing company in Los Angeles. Rude, unprofessional, and will damage your vehicle. This company is a scam and should be shut down.

My car was hit by a flying piece of metal…read moreon the freeway (LA LIFE ), and I was beyond stressed and overwhelmed trying to figure out what to do next. Rob was amazing from day one. He was clear, communicative, and genuinely reassuring during a situation that felt really chaotic at the time. He and his team handled everything on schedule, kept us in the loop, and honestly just made me feel like my car win good hands. They truly went above and beyond, and I'm so grateful for how helpful and professional they were throughout the entire process. My car looks great! Huge thank you to Rob and his team. I'll DEFINITELY be referring all my family and friends.

That's why I confidently recommended them to someone who needed their car repaired properly after another shop did some questionable work. They really exceeded expectations. The car is over 15 years old, and when they finished, it honestly looked brand new again. The paint may not have been an exact match to the original, but the overall quality and attention to detail were impressive enough that it was easy to overlook. I will say the customer service from the lady in the office could use some improvement, as the experience there wasn't the best. However, Robert, the manager, completely turned my impression around. His professionalism, communication, and attention to detail made a huge difference and showed that he genuinely cared about making sure the job was done right. He even went above and beyond and replaced the other headlight so they could both be brand new. Wow! Overall, I would recommend this shop for quality repairs and workmanship...and the car was detailed which was a great touch!

    Island collision gave me the best quote with the best turn around time also. Other places said it…read morewas going to be 2 weeks for them to start working on my car + 3 weeks for me to get it back. Island collision was able to start service on my car the same day and was ready 5 days after. And the job wasn't rushed, it was everything I was looking for and they were very detailed. Would definitely come back when I need more service. They kept me updated on the work needed and was easy to contact during the process. My car needed a new roof but they were able to get the job done without replacing my roof. Appreciate the work fellas.

We got a few different estimates and wanted to visit different places, to not only to see who can get the job done, but also who we felt comfortable doing the job.. in addition to that, the turn around time was a factor along with the price as well. After visiting a few places we finally came to see Steve at Island Collision Center. He told us exactly what they would do and gave us a good time frame as to when the repair would be completed. Since the car was a Tesla, it was good to see they were currently finishing up a repair on another Tesla at the time. When we had left the shop to our final estimates... during the entire time we just felt like "why are we wasting our time", with the other places. However, we did want to do our due diligence - which we did. After getting all the estimates and sleeping on it the next day the only person we contacted was Steve and asked a few follow up questions. Not only did his answers satisfy our questions, the rapid response time and communication helped seal the deal for us. When Steve told us to pick up the car we were happy that we made the right decision. We dropped our car off on a Tuesday and our car was ready by Friday. If you are looking for any kind of car repair from the smallest dent to a collision, give Steve At Island Collision Center a visit! You won't regret it!
