    What Superman is driving these days...

    Ended up with a dead battery in my X5 on the wharf in San Francisco last week and called AAA, so they sent us Superman! Juan from Fortes Brothers shows up less than 10 minutes later and immediately demonstrates "He's the man!" Familiar with BMW's, knew right where the battery was hidden, had all the right tools and had his sensors hooked up and diagnostics running in under 2 minutes. He also had a BMW spec battery with him and replaced mine and had me on my way in less than 15 min! The guy is a true pro! Next time you have car trouble, make sure your Bat Phone is connected to Juan at Forte Bros/AAA!

    Dont answer the door during regular hours which is illegal and their management kept blocking me from taking the car by standing in front of it even after I paid (because apparently some other staff hadn't done their job and "escorted me"). Wasted about 1 hr all in all. Ripoff price too. 500$ for a 1mile tow. Joke.

    Manny from Forte Brothers Towing - super guy!

    Super customer service ! - when you're in a panic, car's warning light going off, can't steer - on a weekend no less, Manny is your man to tow your car - really appreciated his reassurance - doesn't get any better.

    A dirty Mt View, CA, cop stole my Mercedes at 3am  with the help of a Fortes Bros equally dirty employee!  NO ONE CARED!!

    Summoned help via the AAA app to help with a flat, and they were out and done in less than 30 minutes.

As the technology gets better by calling a tow truck through the app and getting assigned to one right away, it has become more seamless, efficient, and quicker. It's so easy today and so fast. My last few experiences have been amazing. Today, I got the best tow truck driver ever, Jose Ruedda!!! Very meticulous with the details. He made sure he didn't drive over the neighbor's plants on our tight driveway, and then went to extra precaution to put my M3 on the flatbed, since it has a low profile and scrapes easily. He put extra wood beneath to get it up--which I hadn't seen before, which I really appreciated. He checked in with me about whether we should drive it up, or have it pulled up with the car in neutral. You can tell he just really cares about the car and doesn't take shortcuts. In the end, we also swapped quick stories about our torn meniscuses and he gave me a bunch of good tips on how to get better!

Jose Ruedo arrived quickly to assess the damage, and I couldn't have asked for better service during such a stressful situation. Jose was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He carefully evaluated my vehicle, explained my options, and recommended towing it to a reputable local auto body shop. He handled the entire towing process efficiently and with great care, making a difficult experience much easier. I truly appreciated Jose's calm demeanor, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond. If you ever find yourself needing roadside assistance or a tow, I highly recommend Jose Ruedo. Thank you for turning a stressful day into a much more manageable one!

The following fees had been tacked on: 1. $311 gate fee (not listed anywhere on their website, on this page, or by representative) The hours on both their Yelp and Apple Maps pages are wrong. They are not 24/7; they close at 5 p.m. If you come to retrieve your car past 5 p.m., they tack on this $311 extra fee just to open the gate. Not mentioned anywhere on their website or by the representative when I called. I had wasted $97 on an Uber from SF because I was trying to avoid the $127 daily storage fee they charge (also not on their website, but was mentioned by the representative). Turns out I would have been better just waiting. 2. $61 extra storage fee (not listed anywhere on their website, on this page, or by representative). Apparently they initially charge a 4h fee (when I called) after which they charge a day fee (when I arrived). When I called, the representative did not mention any of these fees. I'm highly suspicious of the timing of it as well. My friend noticed my car being towed at 2:00 p.m. It could not have possibly been at Unique Towing for more than 4 hours by the time I arrived at 5:30 p.m. 3. $47 extra tow fee Apparently the representative had misquoted me at $327, and the actual fee was $374. Instead of honoring the quote, they decided to just bump the price. I'm disappointed with this company's lack of transparency and hope this review can help anyone else with the misfortune of having to deal with them.
