    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was despite pauses where she appeared to be consulting with others before responding to each question. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I asked for alternative ways to receive a written estimate, Jennifer disconnected the call without warning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

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!

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.

    Moises Auto Body & Paint is a great company, and Marcos is super easy to work with and helpful. I…read morestopped by one afternoon to get an estimate on re-painting one door of my car that had been previously worked on by a mobile dent removal/paint guy, and the roof because the clear coat was wearing out due to sun damage. It wasn't looking good and I plan to keep the car for another five years or so, so I figured I should look into this. Marcos took a look at the areas that needed work, then brought me into his office. He typed up some information in the computer and got me a quote within 10 or 15 minutes, no problem. The cost was about what I expected and I didn't even bother getting a second opinion. Based on the number of great reviews on Moises, I figured I had found the right place. I scheduled a time to drop the car off on a Monday morning hoping I would only have to rent a car until Friday. They literally got to work right away, sending me photos of the car being worked on by noon. It turned out that the mobile dent guy had done some pretty shoddy work underneath his paint job, and that I would need a new door skin as well if I wanted the car to really look its best. Marcos was honest and said I didn't have to go this route, and could keep it the way it was, but it wouldn't look as good. It would be ok, and better than it currently looked, but if I wanted it pristine, I should consider the new door skin. I figured I'm going this far, so we might as well do it right. The car was ready by Friday afternoon as promised, even though they had to order a new door skin which was not in the plan. When I picked the car up Friday, it looked perfect. In fact, the whole car looked fantastic. The paint was blended perfectly. I feel so much better about this car now. One added bonus to all of this is that Marcos noticed my magnet on the back of the car that says "I [heart] my dachshund," and Marcos mentioned he also has two dachshunds. I always know I can trust a dachshund lover. The only problem is that Marcos is an LAFC fan, and as I am a huge LA Galaxy fan, it was difficult to accept this!

    Armen and his team are the best!!! It's really hard to find a business that has 160+ all 5 stars…read morefrom everything from customer service to car repair services.. Other businesses I reached out to for an estimate told me I had to come into their shop and quoted be $400+ more. I reached out got a request insanely quick with a amazing price compared to others set up an appointment to drop off my car, and was all finished in the estimated time line... Armen handed all my requests (bumper repaint, paint my mirrors, and do my rims as they had tons of rim rashes on them). I got my car back and all I can say is wow wow wow... so thankful!!!! You can see the before and after work! If you need anything auto body work done Armen and his team is the place!!! Thank youuuuu

I reached out to his shop through Yelp…read moreto get a quote on how much they would charge to fix my wife passenger side bumper since it was hit by someone in a parking lot and they drove off. Armen give me an estimate until he saw it in person. We were happy with the estimate and went to take her car to the shop. The price was still the same and Armen explain the whole process to us. The cost was very reasonable and less than we thought it was going to cost. They accept cash and credit card with no fee. The work took about 3 days and they went above and beyond on the work. There was some internal damage that we couldn't see but Armen fixed them with no additional charge. They also washed the car and was in the process of applying the tire dressing when we arrived to pick up the car. It looked better than before and we are overjoy with the amazing work they did. I would highly recommend this shop for anyone who need body work on their car. Customer service is top notch and their craftsman is amazing. The warranty is also lifetime so that's always good.

This information definitely helped Nudge the other party's Insurance Company to start the process of getting my Car Looked into. Initially, finding an Auto Body Repair shop for my car was a bit Scary. Sam was 1 of 5 Auto body Repair Shops that replied to a Project Request on Yelp. He was the 2nd Shop I visited for an Estimate, and I planned on Visiting 1 more that same Day I met with him. Needless to say, I never had to visit/respond to any more Project Responses on Yelp because Sam put on his Working Gloves the same Day I went in for the Estimate. I put all my Trust in him, and he Delivered Above and Beyond my expectations. I had my car back, (looking like New) within a Week! He made me feel at Ease from Day 1, and was super Easy to talk to/work with. I Highly recommend Chase Auto Body if you're ever in Need of Auto Body services in the Valley.

I brought it into Chase and all conversations went well. A month later I noticed that my driver side windshield nozzle wasn't working. I checked it and it was broken and glued back together.

I noticed there was overspray on both side mirrors. I am disappointed by not surprised.
