    My car broke down on the I5 yesterday and I was stuck in the center divide in triple digits heat…read more Initially I got into contact with a different roadside assistance company (not towing) who said they could come to the car to try and resolve the mechanical issue. That ended up being a bust and costing money and 5 hours of my time for nothing. Luckily I booked a tow truck through our cc benefits to save on the cost. The dispatcher confirmed that this company and provided an ETA of about 60-90mins. They did include a disclaimer that drivers are not obligated to allow passengers and it's at their discretion. This mattered to me since I was nearly 100 miles from home and had been stranded for hours in 106 degree weather. I then contacted the driver directly and he confirmed that I could join him in the truck and that he would be be there in one hour (this ETA was not unreasonable considering I was in the middle of no where). He even arrived a few minutes early than expected. After a very stressful day, the professional and friendly attitude of the driver felt like a saving grace. My car (and I) made it home safely and timely. I live in congested part of town but the driver was able to handle it with ease. He was even nice enough to help me push the car into a parking spot in my apartment building's garage. The costumer service is A+++ If ever find yourself in need of roadside assistance in Northern California area, I highly recommend this company.

    Great customer service. My insurance company has roadside assist so when I got a flat on the 5…read morehighway, I was at ease. Then after an hour on a 100 degree day, my insurance had still not found a tow truck to come bring my car to a tire shop. So I called some places and Bill answered my call. I was in a bad reception area so there was some confusion about where exactly I was, but he got to me as soon as he could. He had all the right tools to inflate my spare, remove the busted tire, put on the spare, and even directed us to several local places where we could get a new tire. Then when we hot to the tire shop, I realized Bill still had my wheel lock which was essential to getting the spare tire off. I called him up and he immediately apologized and said he would bring the wheel lock to the shop. It's truly amazing to find someone so genuinely transparent and communicative and who admitted to the mistake. Call them up if you need roadside help. Avila truly cares. Thank you Bill!

Even if you are in need of roadside assistance, I would look for a more honest place of work. Long story short is that I was taken advantage of as a young woman who doesn't know much about cars. They took my money after supposedly "fixing" my car and sent me back on the road to only break down stranded on the I-5. They wasted my time and stole my money. I just wished if they knew they couldn't do the fix, that they had stopped instead of proceeding forward with this dangerous fix. Full story below. I was desperate on a Sunday looking for a shop that had parts to fix my car when I got stranded on the I-5 heading South. Luckily, I was able to pull off to a nearby gas station. Out of all the roadside assistance places that were open nearby, Nixons was the inly one that picked up. They sent some people out to help me ( Aaron Avila and Chris something). My issue was pretty simple to fix if they had the part because it was in an easy access location at the front of my car (oil cooler return line bursted and needed to be replaced). They said they could fix it, went off to get the part, and came back with "parts". I was skeptical (but I'm not a car expert), but they had hoses that said would work for the replacement and proceeded for the next 3 hours trying to finagle the hose into the right place. I asked them a few times if it was the right part, if it was a quick fix, if I'd be able to continue driving the rest of my 4 hour trip down to LA, or if i needed to still take it to another auto shop after to get it checked, and Aaron (the guy in charge) kept presenting that this fix would be no problem and their hose would be able to handle the pressure and temperature for engine oil. I should've called their bluff. At the end, when they finally were able to get their makeshift hose onto my car without the oil leaking out, they asked for payment and went off their merry way. They started working on my car at 4:20ish and finished around 7 (after sunset). I pulled out of the gas station parking lot and got back onto the interstate only to break down 1.5 down the road. I ended up getting towed and having to abandon my car at another autoshop for it to get fixed. Nixon's is negligent about their work, endangered me by sending me off with a defective car, were dishonest about their work, and (after some research out of anger) ARE NOT A LICENSED BUSINESS OR REGISTERED WITH THE BUREAU OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR. I tried calling them to find a compromise for their crappy job, and they are unresponsive. I know I have grounds to sue and am going to report them to the city for illegal operation. I have photos of those who worked on my car and recording of my conversation with Aaron.

    If I can give a - I would…read more My car broke down on the side of the road, so I called AAA -- a service I've been a loyal member of for over 10 years. I've never had a problem with any of their tow truck drivers, until this morning. "Rude Ted" from DD's Towing showed up with a terrible attitude and zero customer service. He didn't introduce himself, didn't ask what happened -- just pulled up recklessly and said, "Where are the keys?" He grunted and mumbled the entire time like he didn't know how to speak. As a woman alone on the side of the road, this was not only unprofessional -- it was unsettling. Thank God my friend showed up to wait with me. There was no way I was getting in that truck with this man. I would've rather walked five miles to a safe place than be alone with someone who made me feel that uncomfortable. When we got to my house, "Rude Ted" was ready to just drop my car on the street until my friend asked him to put it in the driveway. His rude reply? "Maybe." Then he backed it in recklessly and left it crooked in my driveway before taking off without a word. I've never experienced a driver like this. "Rude Ted" clearly doesn't belong in this line of work. If this is the type of service DD's Towing sends out, AAA needs to rethink who they partner with. No one should feel unsafe or disrespected when they're already in a vulnerable situation.

    These people tried to make me pay to retrieve a vehicle I have not owned in 4 years. I understand…read morethey are just trying to make their money but it's shameful. A vehicle I sold was never registered into the buyer's name, so mine was the last on file. They sent me paperwork telling me if I did not pick it up I was liable to pay thousands of dollars to cover their costs. I called the DMV and they told me since I notified them I sold the vehicle, I have no liability to pay for anything this towing company tried to scare me into paying. I was fully willing to pick said vehicle up for a reasonable price, but they were unwilling to negotiate. Upon request for picture proof that the vehicle was in decent condition, they said they would send pictures. However the pictures never came and the excuse was that they, "wouldn't go through." Come on, who doesn't know how to send pictures through text message. Do better Double D Towing. I respect the grind, but not the lies.

    Amazing service! My…read moreson was driving to So. Cal to spend a week with his brother before the brother got married. Just a carefree week of bachelor brothers hanging out. He was supposed to drive there on Saturday and get to So. Cal before dark. However, he left after dark. He passed Los Banos (Route 33 exit) close to midnight and his engine started running really rough and it was losing power. He limped to the next exit, at less than 25 mph, turn around, and come back to Los Banos. We picked him up around 1:30 and got back home at 3AM. At 8AM (Easter morning), we started calling mechanics in Los Banos. Of course, we used Yelp and sorted by ratings. We went down the list and left messages for everyone. We just prayed that someone would be willing to work on a holiday. Jesse was the only one who answered the phone. We explained our predicament. He agreed to help if we could get there by 10. He had a family picnic planned. My son's car was parked about 2 miles from Jesse's shop. We were able to get it running and over to the shop before 10AM. Jesse found the problem, was able to obtain the necessary parts, and had the car fixed in about 3 hours. He charged a very reasonable amount. My son made it to So. Cal before dark (a day late), and Jesse still got to spend the rest of the day with his family. If anyone I know ever needs a good mechanic in the Los Banos area, I would highly recommend Jesse and Advanced Service & Repair. Thank you, Jesse. God bless you.
