I had to get my 71 El Camino towed 20 miles to our new house. I called around for rates...no one could come even close to FERNANDEZ TOWING SERVICE. $35 hook up fee, $3 per mile...I though there had to be a catch. My hot rod is my baby & I was petrified to have some jenky guy pull it onto a jenky flatbed....that was NOT the case. The driver was super professional & very nice. After sitting in traffic on Mission Gorge I expected a higher bill too, that was NOT the case. Bottom line....FERNANDEZ TOWING SERVICE ROCKS! Hope your ride is not broken down, but you know who to call if it is! read more

FDZ Towing Service - 71 El Camino - Towing Near Me

STAY AWAY CON ARTIST AND MAJOR SCAMMERS I needed my car towed 15 miles. From my apartment to the mechanic. So i went on craigslist, $35 hook up fee and 3.50 per mile. not great, but fine whatever. After i rent a trailer and hook it up myself, my time is worth more than doing it myself. I CALLED TO SCHEDULE A APPOINTMENT. over 24 hours notice. he way an HOUR and FORTY FIVE minutes late. are you freaking joking? if i was late meeting him at my car by 5 minutes he would of left. but i needed it towed. After he shows up almost 2 hours late, not a word, no "Hello im sorry im late" not even a "Hi hows your day" maybe he should of said "Sorry im a jack ass im here to move your car". So day is already ruined. My car was a mint condition mustang cobra, and i am pretty young and look even younger, so lets say most people are surprised. He didnt ask my name, if it was my car, check registration nothing. kind of weird. I have no idea if that is legal or not, but it was very odd to me. Step two. My car battery died because i was waiting for him for so long, so i asked him if i could jump it while he hooks it up (i have two cars next to each other) he said "No i have to do it and i have to charge you". I said, "you were 2 hours late", "Oh well, still going to charge you". whatever homeboy, piss off I will do it myself. Like it said, my car was broken down, i was trying to rebuild it long story short i cant. He starts moving it onto his dirty ass, rusty truck bed while coolant DRIPS like a leaky faucet drip, and he goes, "im going to charge you a clean up fee". HAHAHA!!! We get going. And magically, his route is 3 miles longer and he is not aloud to go the faster way, he HAS to go the way his phone is telling him, i was using google maps on my phone, it says 15 miles his magically says 18 miles, whatever bro. tow my damn car. read more

RIP OFF ARTIST!!!! Wife needs a lock out on Naval station. Calls this company and dispatcher says "no problem, 15 minutes. 15 goes by, 30 goes by, 45 minutes go by, finally my wife walks back to front gate, there's the tow truck driver. Naval police won't let h on base because his license is expired??? WTF is that. Then he has the gaul to charge her $122 and he did nothing. She got it done her self. He called it a cancelation fee??? STAY AWAY these guys are criminals, drivers are unissued and unlicensed. BBB next step! read more

Call them Monday about towingTow $50 up to 5 miles free @ Fdz Towing Service............... Tel# 619-781-7549 "$50 HOOKUP & FREE 5 MILE FREE ($3.50 per add mile (Craigslist ad)" Tuesday they tow the forklift 2 miles and they wanted $169 because it was a commercial tow. Driver says it a commercial tow it's $169. What happen to the $50! Talk to the Manager and he stated that nobody told him that it was a forklift or even called. How did he know where to go and pick up the forklift. Bait and Switch. We paid the $169. Total waste of time. We could have drove the forklift two miles to our warehouse for $169. Look at there Yelps people call them Liars and Rip offs. Don't use them. Stuck for them is we where going to use them to pick up two more pieces of equipment this week. I should have checked Yelp first! Pacific Islander Beer Company. read more

Horrible service. They tell you one price and then charge you triple that. Then if you dont want to pay that extreme price cause they lied they threaten to ruin your car. read more

These guys are unprofessional and rude. I asked them to tow my car to a body shop. They tried repeatedly to get me to tow to another shop (probably one of their connections). As for their rates, (extremely expensive) definitely not within towing standards, and the so called "management" is awful. They never follow through and seem so disorganized. It amazes me the the Bureau of Automotive Repair even issued a license to this company. They should not be in business and should be fined or sanctioned. read more

THEY DO NOT CHARGE ADVERTISED RATES!!! Let me start off with the driver was fast, responsive, and very courteous. However, they advertise various rates like $88 for first six miles or $44 hookup or whatever. After an accident, they charge my wife $282 for a 6 mile tow which included a $199 hookup fee. When I called to ask, they say these rates are not for accidents because insurance will reimburse. I have done business with insurance companies and understand how this works, but regardless, it's not the rate they advertise and I am out of pocket too much money for a 6 mile tow until my claim is settled. I will withdraw this comment and sing their praises if they make this right. read more

HORRIBLE!!!! I called in for an issue with my car not starting, I knew from the beginning it was my starter that needed to be tapped to start. The tow truck guy did nothing with the starter and tested the battery, even after insisting I knew my car's battery was okay, I told the guy my battery was checked within the past month. He checked my battery, took him literally 2 mins and I told him don't do it. He charged me 100.94 dollars just to take 2 mins to check something I didn't even need checking on. He's like, "I still need to charge you." I explained again, "its my starter!." He said he could not help me with the starter, his response was, "I don't know anything about that." Seriously I would highly recommend not using this company. read more

Tonight at approx 9:25pm, heading East toward Alpine, I was following my mom home from work and both of us and one other car were constantly tailgated. They cut behind my mom almost hitting her, then passed her at the last second as they passed a tow truck helping a car broken down. Then proceeded to slow down in front of her for no reason. Obviously they'll go to all lengths to get to the call first, even if it means putting others in harms way. Awful! read more

I needed a car towed a short distance and was told that it would be a reasonable rate but low-and-behold their tow car comes, puts my car up on their flat bed and immediately writes me an invoice for THREE TIMES the cost they told me over the phone. I mean, really? I spoke with someone on their line about this after the fact and all they had was an, "Oh well, sorry 'bout it" attitude and didn't even offer to lower it back to the rate they originally offered me. Not only that, but they are definitely not honest when it comes to their prices, just pick any other towing company aside from this one. I've never paid a higher amount to tow my car than from FDZ towing. read more

Can I give negative stars? One of their drivers almost ran into me on the freeway. Even when I was already in the lane not even close to him. He ran me off and I almost got into another wreck and he drove by and laughed. Is that anyway to run a business?? With drivers who TOW and try and run people off the road? Terrible terrible terrible read more

they're great if you like a company that has no set price for tows then charges you more than whats advertised in ANY of their craigslist ads because thats industry standard apparently. They claim that there's an ad listing my price, but i looked through every page and even took screenshots and no ad can even be skewed to charge what i was charged. in fact the last review on yelp has another price right there that doesnt add up to what i was charged. I was charged $75 for a 7.14 mi. tow. under a "first 10 miles tow" price, which i know the operator and driver got their stories straight on when the operator said he had to call the driver first when i called about my price after getting home. All their CL ads say either: $50 Hookup with first 5 miles free which adds up to $60.50 or $35 Hookup(special daytime rate, like they have a set night time rate right?) with $3.50 per mile which adds up to $63.00 now thats figuring for 8 miles, to give them the benefit of the doubt. Guess its my fault for trusting the "friendly and honest" tow company. more like the "why did it take you so long to catch it?" and the "well there's nothing i can do about it now(45 mins later)" tow company. thanks for being clear about things and running your business in a professional manner. If you need a tow in South San Diego, call TWO BIT TOW. A REAL BUSINESS. and in case you're wondering, im not affiliated with two bit two, but they've helped me out twice in the past and i shouldve trusted my gut and stayed loyal. read more

Called a company called "green towing of rancho san diego" because my keys were locked in my carwss told a driver would call me right back waited 15 mins no call, called back again was told to wait for the driver to call me..no call again.. 15 mins later called back again finally they get ahold of the driver who tells me he is 10 mins away, 15 mins later he finally shows up and is from a company called FDZ towing.... it takes him literally 2 mins to open the door and then charges me 130 dollars...WTF....being a single mother with 5 kids at home paying this amount broke me but i had to pay. ...this company quotes customers one price and then adds on a ridiculous "LABOR" charge, no matter how good you are you are not worth 80 dollars for 2 mins of labor. ..this company rips off customers and cops an attitude when confronted about the amount charged...this company lies to the customers and the rips them off..i will never use this place again nor will ever refer it to anybody read more

Had our minivan towed from where it broke down with my husband driving to our home, where I was. All within San Diego, no more than 10 miles. $49 for the hookup, $79 for the towin, and an unknown $32 charge, plus $4.80 CF (whatever the he** that is). Of course, I was doing the paying and by then they had the vehicle hostage. I had no choice but to pay!!! Ripoff artists. read more

Called Green Towing who advertises lowest prices. They sent this guy who charged three times the charge the last tow cost us. Avoid Green Towing and FDZ Towing unless you like to be raped. read more

Horrible! They charged my girlfriend $131 for a jump start! She had no choice since she needed to get to a meeting on time. Plus didn't really know how much it should cost. They took advantage of her. She's so upset about it after talking to me and talking to other towing companies about their rates. DO NOT use these people! read more

I didn't even have to call them to know they're bad. I was driving down the 5 when I saw the tow truck next to me with multiple cars, I looked in my rear view and when I looked back, the truck had drifted halfway into my lane. I changed lanes and when I looked over as I passed him, the driver was holding his phone above the steering wheel. Paid no attention to the road, not even sure he noticed me. I wouldn't even consider using them if they hire drivers that are so careless with the cars THEY are supposed to be taking care of. read more
