Drivers can't follow simple instructions when dropping off a non-running vehicle. Vehicles repeatedly dropped is inconvenient spots where they are in the way rather than in the designated lot read more

Flagstaff Towing is a predatory scam. They towed my car from the spot I paid $100/month for--because I parked slightly angled to avoid a mountain of snow my complex failed to remove. FYI: Landlords are legally required to maintain safe, accessible parking--they didn't. Instead, they had me towed... walking distance away. Then Flagstaff Towing demanded $300 in cash only, refusing card--which is illegal under AZ law (ARS § 28-4847). The photos they took of my car show the snow hazard. They ignored that and held my car hostage. This is predatory and unlawful. If this happened to you too, file a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General. read more

Flagstaff Towing is the worst business I've had the misfortune of dealing with. If I could give them zero starts, I would. They are unprofessional crooks. Their service is nonexistent and their employees are rude. When I went to pick up my car, no one showed up for 30 minutes even though they said they were open. And it turned out the employee had been there the whole time making me wait for no reason. If you can help it, do NOT deal with this business. read more

TLDR: The other reviews really say it all. Take your business elsewhere, their rates are ridiculously high and full of sneaky fees and the employees are rude. Over the phone I was told that "other companies" in town charge up to $500 and that they were "pretty cheap". After calling and talking to "other companies" in town, I found this was not the case at all. One company I called told me that they would never think of charging the rates that Flagstaff Towing and Recovery does. If possible take your business to literally any other company in town. If you got towed by Flagstaff Towing and Recovery, I am so sorry you have to deal with these people. I'm posting this review after my friend had his car towed by this company, after seeing how the owner responds to these reviews I wouldn't put it past him to go out of his way to make the experience worse for my friend. This friend's car also was damaged while in the care of this company. This is also the reason I'm not naming the other companies, out of fear of harassment from the owner of this establishment. But I highly encourage a quick search and call to any other towing business in town to ask them yourself. There is a lot more I could talk about, but luckily my experience with this company was brief. I highly recommend reading the other reviews and especially the responses from the owner and think if this is a business you want to support. I wish everyone who came here because their car got towed good luck. read more

Estevan helped our family out of a icy/snowy situation when AAA and the other towing companies in Flagstaff would not come to the area. He was very prompt, very professional and extraordinarily helpful, and gave us a very fair price (when quite frankly, he could've gouged us)! read more

their professionalism was awesome. It takes a lot to be stunned, but I was pleasantly surprised they went above and beyond ready to help me in anyway, you couldn't find a better towing company I would highly recommend. read more

Retail parking ends at the standard at 11pm, got down to my car at 11:02 and every car was booted and a car was already on the hitch so clearly they start early. They accept cash only wouldn't even accept my Venmo (which can't be disputed) either way only accepting cash is illegal in Arizona and unfair considering most students don't carry over $300 in cash. So didn't take my car to my boyfriends today to avoid that mess but when he took me home at 10:50 the truck was parked on another level so we hung around to investigate and they started booting and putting license plates into the system at 10:55. Everyone who's experienced this should receive a refund and I hope the standard realizes they should use a different company eventually these guys will get caught and held accountable for all the things they've done to these poor people at the standard and in these reviews read more

I mean to start with, no one likes towing companies. But one top of that, no one enjoys being charged wayy above what they should be. $320 for one night all for being towed from my own apartment. Not cool. read more

Update. It happened again and this time within 45 min of me having arrived. Literally walked to retrieve my parking pass from my friend and by the time I walked back out my car was gone. Crazy. At least this time the person who towed my car was much nicer than the last. read more

Super sketchy, you give cash to a guy in a tow truck since the card reader "hasn't come in yet". Based on other reviews this has been an issue for months now. With that being said the guy was nice. read more

My daughter had driven our family car into a snowbank along a forrest road. Since they advertised winching out, including off-road, we called them first. They explained that they couldn't handle something like this. So, the ads are misleading. read more

The best word for this company is predatory. The charges and fees taxed on for their "services" is ridiculous. The establishment is completely unprofessional and incompetent. On two occasions were we trying to pick up our cars and were first told to wait 25 minutes for them to actually show up. Then on the second attempt we're told they weren't even there and had their neighboring auto shop do their work for them. Not to even mention multiple times when trying to contact this business our calls were sent to voicemail. This place is definitely a scam only accepting cash to obtain your car. Completely unprofessional taking the money outside on a dirt lot and asking for no proof of which car was ours and incredibly disrespectful when asking questions or trying to retrieve our cars. read more

Fast, friendly, and great price! Requested a tow from my house to the dealership and the driver mike showed up 20 min later! I was expecting a 45 min -1 hour wait, so that was impressive. Definitely recommend them for fast and reliable service oh and if you don't want someone to sound annoyed at your call give them a call for your next tow service! Also they do take card. read more

My shifter got stuck so I needed a tow to the shop. I payed exactly what he quoted me, $95 and he was quick, super nice super helpful. Made the whole process a lot less stressful read more

Prowling the night for unsuspected victims to take the hard working money of their fellow citizens. Not the job I'd like to come home to at night and know I've done the right things for my neighbors and community. Maybe if you're stuck on side of the road and felt rescued you get 5 stars, but having a conversation with them is like watching paint dry. But, I get it, guys gotta make a $1, or $300 for driving across the street. Enjoy every dollar, and yes, cash only my friends. Bet that's reported to the IRS as income. If you have to have a tow there are other companies in Flagstaff, if you get your car taken illegally in the middle of the night...well, good luck! they have you trapped and they know it... read more

Terrible customer service. Very rude. Towed my car and cracked my windshield and blame it on me. They use no caller ID so you won't be able to get in contact with them. Estevan was disrespectful and wouldn't let me see the picture taken of my vehicle and said I had to talk to his lawyer. Owner didn't do anything about it and instead complained about all this problems. You shouldn't own a business if you don't know how to run one!!! Overpriced as well compared to any other towing business in town. read more

Today my son was stuck and Estevan came to our rescue. He was prompt, professional, and so compassionate. I would call these folks again in a heartbeat....but also hope my son won't be in the same predicament again, lol. Mahalo! read more

Best experience I've had with a tow company. Not only did they immediately respond but also took the time and helped out tremendously on where to take my car to get fixed since I was not from the area and only passing through. Very generous and you can tell they actually care about helping others! read more

This guy is the worst. Towed my son's car without consent and then charged an extra $300 for "administration fees." Then didn't send a bill but sent it to collections. This is horrible person. Please use anyone else! read more

My daughters car was towed because she was parked in an area that requires a permit after hours. She was very upset, but mentioned the "guy" she spoke to was very polite. I reached out to Jack (the guy) and also spoke to the Manager, Esteban, and they were both very professional and polite explaining everything. Great customer service is something I expect, and these two delivered. Great job. read more

They cracked my windshield towing my car and are trying to lie to me. Every employee and manager has been very unprofessional and rude. They keep telling me they're going to call me to resolve the issue and don't do anything. ESTEBAN was the tow truck driver and has lied and been rude to me. He also said that the "cold" cracked my windshield and wouldn't send me any pictures with proof and hung up on me. The manager also hasn't done a single thing to resolve the issue and BOTH MANAGER AND ESTEBAN have called from NO CALLER ID so I couldn't call them back because they're trying to scam and hide everything!! read more

Greedy Tow Company. My daughter stays at Elara Apts. They towed away a students car that was sticking out 6 inches because she couldn't pull up her car into the parking space fully due to un cleared snow for 5 days, which is against Arizona law. They took our $300., mean people. Now, the City of Flagstaff is investigating my tow pictures. My negative review will cost them a lot in lost revenue. read more

Wish I could give zero stars. What a piece of shit business, they add 'extra fees' to swindle anyone and everyone into paying more. Very disrespectful, very unresponsive. Utterly trash, take your business anywhere else. read more

All I have to say is wow... how dangerous and unprofessional this company must be to have such an angry employee putting people and property in such danger! First of all I was bringing my kids to visit their grandparents at the village of Lake Mary apartments today and there was a driver taking up the road with his tow truck in the complex.. when I was finally able to drive around his horrible park job I was going to try and get his attention to ask him to please move but I could hear him through his vehicle screaming and cussing at someone on the phone so I didn't bother engaging this angry man. once I parked I'm happy I didn't let my kids out of the car just yet because he aggressively reversed his big tow truck at full speed and almost hit the back of my PARKED CAR it's very frustrating because there were other kids playing nearby he could have hit as he did NOT slow down when he took off at full speed ! Just when I thought I wouldn't see him again he soon sped down the hill with a vehicle on his bed that wasn't even strapped down all the way as nothing seemed to be holding the back 2 tires down to secure the vehicle so when he sped down the hill and hit the speed bumps at full speed the vehicle he was towing looked like it was about to fall off the bed of the truck! how dangerous and unprofessional! The only good thing out of this is now I learned NOT to use them for a company because we were looking to pay to have my in laws car towed out of Arizona next week and I do not feel safe using them for my property!!!! beware of the angry bald looking man who must have a bad temper and no discipline whatsoever!!! read more

My family and I stayed at an Air B and B, including small children and my elderly in-laws, and unfortunately arrived during a snowstorm. The owners failed to mark the driveway and our car ended up stuck over concrete stairs. Flagstaff Towing and Recovery arrived within an hour and safely pulled our car back to safety without damage to our vehicle. Highly recommend. Without them we would have been without food, and Triple A had stated they might not have availability for days!! read more

My boyfriend's car died late when I was picking him up from work. We were expecting a long night hassle, but got quite the opposite. The worker who came to get the car was prompt, courteous, answered any questions we had, and the whole ordeal from call to being home took less than an hour. Thank you so much to this company for making a bad night a lot easier! Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely disgusting business that takes advantage of people and college students to make a living. Its clear they don't have a problem sleeping at night but it is a shame to see so many businesses in Flagstaff taking advantage of college students and their parents who bring so much money to the city. My husband and I parked our car at our son's COLLEGE apartment complex to drop him off after having dinner. The Standard has a charging station so we decided to charge our Tesla a bit before heading home. The parking lot was completely empty other than a Toyota parked in the charging station next to us. We came back down an hour later to find our car had been towed by these thieves who saw a Tesla and assumed they could make a quick $320 without working to earn it and their assumptions were correct. I am sick thinking they would have towed a college students car who could not afford to get their car out of this horrible sketchy tow lot. That is exactly why they took our car and not the Toyota. There was no reason for them to tow anyones car. No one was taking anyones space. Its gross and mean. The fact that this is legal makes it even worse but The Standard will be paying us back the $320 as we will take that amount out of our sons rent. Maybe The Standard will think twice about allowing thieves to come into their lot and taking parents cars, who are keeping their apartment complex in business. Sad to see this going on in such an amazing and beautiful city. Gross people are everywhere though! read more

These guys were beyond amazing from the dispatcher to the guys at the shop. My kids broke down on the side of the highway 40 at 2:30 am. The best my roadside assistance plan could do was send a tow truck estimated at 11am the next day. I called Flagstaff and they were able to get someone there immediately ( within the hour) and towed to their shop. This morning they were quick to diagnose our vehicle and even though we were not able to get the car repaired they gave a concise diagnosis of the issue and recommendations. My kids said they were friendly and that kept them calm during the whole ordeal. Kudos, I would definitely recommend calling them if you are in Arizona and in a bind. Thanks again!!! read more

My minivan died coming up the mountain to Flagstaff and Flagstaff towing was quick to get the van. The driver was very friendly and the service couldn't have been better. They helped make a disastrous beginning to a trip a lot more bearable with their service read more

what a sad way to make money, have absolutely no where to park for students or have any guest parking for parents or friends visiting absolutely anywhere. then tow as much as possible and charge over 300 dollars in cash only. goes straight into their pockets. any college student that parks here or anyone visiting you is basically screwed no matter what. hurts no one to park overnight. such a scummy and scammy way to make money off people and broke college students. businesses like these are why people don't want to come back. read more

We appreciate these guys so much! We got ourselves in a sticky situation out in the Cinders in Flagstaff and busted our Jeep. We had help from some angels from New Mexico and they met our Tow truck guy (Felix)on the trail and brought him back to where we were. He got there, assessed the situation and got to work. He got us out of there and dropped us at the hotel. We decided on a plan of how to proceed with getting the Jeep repaired. Since we are from the valley and get it worked on there, we decided to have it towed back to the valley to the shop where we get the Jeep worked on. We texted Felix and let him know what we wanted to do and that we wanted him to do it if he could. He was absolutely without question on board with helping us do that. This morning he showed up, loaded up and we hit the road. Great guy, great to work with fun to hang out with- to bad this is how we had to meet! Kudos to Felix for his training, experience and great attitude and personality to help keep in perspective our situation. Yes we were bummed our Jeep was broke, but in the end, no one was hurt and the Jeep is fixable. Great job!! Thanks again to Felix and Flagstaff Towing and Recovery. Your guys' phone number will stay in my contact list!!! read more

See all

THANK YOU! Just had my car towed from the busy intersection of Route 66 and South San Francisco. Tony was terrific! Professional, courteous, helpful. Very efficient with the tow process. Could not believe how fast he arrived after I called for help. THANKS AGAIN! We're lucky to have a quality towing service like Flagstaff Towing & Recovery! Will use this business if I'm ever in need of towing again. read more

This is the greatest towing company in Flagstaff! My friend and I were stuck in the snow and Chris saw us struggling and came out to help us. It took 20 minutes but we finally got it done, they are just so kind and helpful. I really recommend Flagstaff Towing and Recovery if you have ANY needs; fast, efficient, and such a reliable service. Thanks Chris! read more

Top shelf. Broken down on the side of I-17 and they dropped what they were doing and rescued us. Thanks.

I can't say enough how helpful Felix was. So helpful with getting my car to the Nissan dealership when I lost my keys. Very friendly, fast, and well priced. It's a small business that deserves some love. If you need a tow in Flag, call these guys! read more

Typically blowing out your transmission, in the middle of nowhere, with a hungry cranky toddler in the car would be unpleasant- it was. Flagstaff towing was the one bright light at the end of the tunnel. Jessie rescued us earlier than promised, he was so nice to us and super efficient. If I ever get stuck in ditch again, I'll definitely call them! read more

The guys at Flagstaff Towing & Recovery definitely know what they're doing! Quick response and experienced drivers make breaking down a lot less unpleasant than it could have been. From the time I called them to the time they arrived was only 25 minutes and they were able to take it to a shop where it was repaired the same day. The tow truck driver is also a mechanic so they knew what was wrong right away. read more

I can't believe how I was treated by this establishment I have lived in the standard for only two weeks now I'm a new resident and it's hard enough to make money as it is as a college student. But I was told by the front desk that the first floor of the parking garage was for guest parking but they forgot to mention that after 6 PM any car left on the first floor that shouldn't be there is subject to tow. Yes I realize there were signs but I was told by the front desk that guest could park there so I figured that was authorized not unauthorized we were compliant in everything, but the employee kept beating around the bush and not doing what he was supposed to the standard will be paying me back the money that was charge from the towing company which was $300 cash and they wouldn't let us set up a payment plan even though we had the registered owner I had hurt myself that night and my friends were bringing me home and taking me to my apartment to make sure I got up there safe and by the time they went to go get their car it was gone I had to walk all the way down there after injuring myself and deal with this and again we were treated with no respect we were yelled at which the employee denies I haven't got a chance to speak with the owner yet but that will happen soon it was not just me there were two other girls there as well and they will say the same thing and are also waiting to talk to the owner of the business we were compliant and ended up paying the $300 but that just seems like a scam I've had my car towed before for actually making a mistake not saying they are but this was my experience. Can't believe you're going to treat a bunch of girls who aren't even 21 yet like that and we knew what we were talking about which is why they were beating around the bush They even mentioned that this is happened before and they've dealt with it in better ways but I guess we were a special case where they just didn't wanna deal with it also someone is lying because the company said they have a direct contract with the standard but when I talk to the standard they said the towing company does not have a direct contract with them. read more

My concern is with operations and unprofessional delivery of service. So let me set the scenario for you, it is Easter Sunday and we are moving our child into The Standard Apartments because of Corona virus is making the students be out of their dorms NAU by the April 15th. We made a few trips back and forth between the dorm and the apartment. On the third trip we picked up lunch for our Easter Meal and while it was raining we ate in my sons apartment. While we are eating, mind you the Apartment offices are closed, we were towed by Flagstaff Towing. When my wife spoke to them, my wife was rudely spoken to and told "So you thought is was a good Idea to park there". Keep in mind my son is a resident of the Apartments and he just got the keys. So after paying $320.00 to get my car back, and receiving no invoice which I asked for. I reached out to the owner to see even if he was knowing how his employee were conducting business. The owner told me that he would talk to his employee because his attitude has been a problem. I also ask for a refund and apologize to wife of how she was spoken to and how our Easter was ruined. This was April 15th. The owner also told me that he had to talk to his partner in business because he could not make any decisions without speaking to him and he would get me an invoice, he also told me he would get back to me the next day. Guess what no reply but did receive an invoice on April 20th, 8 days after the tow and with no phone call. So asks your self this with all things going on in the World today you thought it was a good idea to tow people (also 4 other vehicles) in the rain on Easter Sunday while people are visiting loved ones. The office didn't call because they were closed. You might think twice before using this company and I don't think this was an essential service on Easter Sunday. Mike R. read more
