Stay away from this fraud of a company !!!!! They charged me $798 for 3 days. On the day of the accident I told the driver of the towing company that I have road side assistance not AAA and the driver said "don't worry it is covered by insurance" i just wish I knew better !!! The distance between the accident location and the impound was about a MILE !!!!!! They will rip you off !!! Stay away everyone !!! I was literally in tears !!! On the board it says literally for accident towing per hr $233 per hr and daily storage $58 . And literally it didn't even take half an hr for them to tow my car !!!! And they have the audacity to charge me $798 !!!! Shame on you for ripping people off !!! read more

Golden Bear Towing - Rates ! - Towing Near Me - Montclair, California

Person answering phone is super rude...she hangs up on you and doesn't care that you are stuck on the side of the road...not compassionate at all. Two thumbs down in my opinion. Called AAA and told them they shouldn't used this tow company... horrible read more

I was referred by AAA to this towing company to inspect and repair my battery. They sent Ernesto out to service my car. He replaced my battery but gave me a metal bracket that was leftover because it "didn't fit with the new battery". That seemed strange to me because I've had batteries replaced before, but never encountered additional pieces. I called their dispatcher who assured me that the service person was correct and not to worry and this was normal. After my car was operational and the towing company was gone, I took my car to my mechanic who inspected my battery replacement and showed me that my entire battery was loose and able to slide around because of the bracket that the service person wasn't able to attach. This towing company showed me a new level of incompetence. Wish I could give 0 stars. read more

Do not..... do not use this towing company at all......

Golden Bear Towing - Beetle - Towing Near Me - Montclair, California

Golden Bear Towing deserves a 5 star rating. We had to use them twice, once in March and once in April. The first call was for a dead battery and the technician, Jacob, tested the battery and diagnosed it as not being the battery. Jacob was very professional, knowledgeable, and all around a GREAT GUY! We then had to make a second call to AAA and again they dispatched Golden Bear Towing. The car had to be towed to the dealership. Jonathan was the tow truck driver and again very professional, knowledgeable, and too an all around GREAT GUY! Thank you to Golden Bear Towing for providing such excellent service. Joan P. read more

My white pick up truck broke down on my way home from work this evening, but I made it home, Thanks to David the Flat Bed Tow Truck Driver. David is all about SAFETY, he made sure that my truck was properly secured, along with the stuff that I had on the bed of my truck. He offered me water, he made sure that I wore my seat belt, he made sure I was comfortable, and we made it to my house. He drives extremely safe. I am very happy with the service provided. Thank you read more

Horrible service only 2 drivers. Don't use this service.... 3 hour wait. Customer Dispatcher was very rude and unprofessional

I like their service. Our driver is Andy. We needed battery service. He arrived on time and was very helpful. I am totally satisfied with his work. read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVE GOLDEN BEAR!! I had to call AAA today because my battery died. They sent Golden Bear. Estimated wait time was 30+ minutes. Jacob was at my car in maybe 15 minutes. Quick and easy, got a jump and was set to go. Jacob was super nice and helpful and overall amazing! ( Over the past few years I've had to call AAA a handful of times for myself or friends. Every time they send Golden Bear, I get excited, I absolutely love them! Every time I've dealt with them they are always super kind, courteous and helpful!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM FOR ALL OVER YOUR ROADSIDE NEEDS ) read more

After having a terrible time getting through to AAA for assistance I was finally successful. I had a flat tire and when the Golden Bear truck arrived in half the time that I was quoted by AAA the driver was already working on my flat before I could walk downstairs. These guys are fantastic and their driver Jacob checked my other vehicles and topped of their air without having been asked. THANKS GOLDEN BEAR read more

The girl in dispatch was(maybe always) having a bad morning. Waited 4hrs. Unapologetic. Very disappointed AAA doesn't have accounts w a company that would seemingly appreciate clients. Unless last resort; you will receive horrible treatment. At least this single hard working mom did. read more

Thank you to Jose for helping me yesterday! My car broke down in Upland yesterday and he towed my car all the way home to Riverside. Great service, quickly arrived to the scene to help, and very friendly! Thank you, Jose! read more

Jacob from Golden Bear Towing is kind and professional. I have always enjoyed my roadside assistance with this company.

This place will charge you over $400 to get your own stolen car back. Exploitive. They were also rude and unsympathetic. Terrible place.

Mo is so very nice, quick, efficient, and smiling the whole time!!! I would highly recommend this towing company. read more

Sarah, my Van ran out of gas close to Montclair High School where I teach. Called AAA who sent out Golden Bear Towing. The driver was very nice and professional, however I had left my wallet at home.. the reason I ran out of gas to begging with. The driver asked me for $10 for a gallon of fuel, explained I had nothing on me. Then things got ugly. I called Golden Bear Towing and Miguel the dispatcher answered. He was highly irritated and rude. I begged him to just give me enough fuel to get to the gas station, after all a gallon of fuel is $4 and AAA is paying Golden Bear for the call. He refused and made me feel horrible. I called AAA they send out another Towing company. I'm driving a van, I have my school uniform on and I have AAA. Golden Bear, do you thing I'm a con-artist? Do you think I try to get a free gallon of fuel by having a AAA membership and waiting a couple of hours on the road?? Merry Christmas- This towing company should do Repos ONLY... NOT AAA. Filled a complaint with AAA and explained I will cancel my membership directly because of this experience with Golden Bear Towing. read more

Last week my car wouldn't start. I called AAA and they sent Frankie (truck 10) out. He was very nice and really helpful. Great customer service! Thank you Frankie! read more

I got out of work today and discovered that I had a huge nail in my tire. I called AAA and was assigned Julian from Golden Bear Towing. I assumed I had a spare tire in my trunk because I should have had one, but did not. Julian went above and beyond and helped find tire shop that was open late and even called to see if they had my kind of tire in stock. Luckily the shop was within my tow miles and everything worked out for me. I am so grateful to have gotten amazing customer service like I did today. It's not every day you encounter people like that! read more

My wife had purchased a battery that was delivered from one of their drivers a few months back...turns out the battery had a bad cell. Sometimes these things happen. When my wife brought this issue to Golden Bear towing being it was still under warranty, she was treated very unprofessional by GB's dispatch and was hung up on. After getting the run around for about a week and being stranded several times here we are today. She spoke to a so called supervisor by the name of Miguel who also treated her poorly and hung up on my wife. A very kind and professional gentleman by the name of Jacob who is also employed by Golden Bear finally came to her assistance today. From a husband at work, and that has been a bit worried for my wife I thank you Jacob for providing here with the service she deserves. read more

Golden Bear Towing - Date and time of the first call that I made to Triple A 6:53 p.m. and they got here at 11:55 - Towing Near Me - Montclair, California

See all

Excellent service! I think the technician's name was Britch or something like that. Took his time and made sure everything was done safe and yet he got my car towed in a timely manner. He was very friendly and communicative. I think I waited only like 20 minutes for him to arrive. In a time where customer service is lacking in almost every industry, Golden Bear Towing provides 5-star service! read more

First thing First I walked out of house into a flat tire situation last night ... AAA sent a flat bed tow truck this guy was horrible , talked to much didn't help me whatsoever. Hovering over me giving me the worse anxiety because I couldn't find my lug nut key for rims. I felt pressured and he said he could r help me because the call was for a flat tire not a tow. Left stranded so I decided to wait till morning and glad I did. I called AAA back and they sent another guy from the same tow company and WOW GOD CAME THROUGH like always SAVED by RICARDO three words that explain this MAN : a read more

Golden Bear and Jacob (#848) saved the day! On my way to work this morning, and I decided to stop for gas before I got on the freeway. Someone pointed out my tire was going flat... Oh no, there was a nail in it! I called my insurance's emergency services #, and they assigned Golden Bear. The estimated arrival time was 8:03. Got a call from Jacob to verify my location (thankfully, because the app was off a bit), and he got the job done QUICK! He was done 5 minutes before that estimated arrival time! Not only was he quick, he was very friendly, and helped turn around what was looking like a horrible Friday. Kudos to Jacob & Golden Bear! (BTW, they're affiliated with AAA, but my insurance is another provider, and that didn't make a lick of difference.) Fast, friendly, extremely competent. That's what you need when you call for emergency service. read more

Golden Bear Towing saved the day! I got a late night flat tire surprise. They responded right away and got here quickly. Andro was extremely helpful, friendly and efficient! They turned a bad situation into a positive experience. If you ever need roadside assistance, these are the guys to call, ask for Andro! read more

Girl on the phone was super rude. Told me my tow truck would be there in 50 min (after I already had waited 45min. It 5:45 pm at this point..) it's now 10:47pm and still no tow truck. Says it will get to me (at a gas station I've been sitting at this whole time) around 12:09 am!!!!!!!!!!!! 6 hours and 24min for a tow truck???? Why do I pay a membership at AAA FOR THIS KIND OF SERVICE??? Ridiculous. Get your act together. If you don't have enough drivers... close shop. YOURE A TOW TRUCK COMPANY.... ypur customers are usually not in a great situation, not the business to keep people waiting hours. Zero stars. aaa should not be using your services. read more

AAA sent these guys out to take my truck in to a mechanic. They were on time, polite and SUPER helpful. The young man who showed up took about 20 minutes (with my permission) to see if he could get my truck running without having to tow it. He was actually able to do so, but between the 2 of us, decided it was best for him to tow it in. He gave me his diagnosis so that I was less likely to be taken advantage of by anyone and he said he'd speak to the mechanic and tell him what he'd found out. He was careful about getting it onto the bed of the truck so no nicks or scratches on an old truck that I'd just had repainted last year. GREAT GUYS! read more

My son ran over something in the road at 10:45pm. We were given an ETA of a 12:04 arrival time by AAA. At 11:45 your company informed us it would be another 120 minutes. At 1:45am, after we had to reach out to you for an update, you informed us it would be another 45mins. We contacted AAA and they informed us that Golden Bear towing cancelled our tow with no word, no communication. Now after reading the other reviews, I can see why this company sucks. You made us wait 3 hours to just cancel us. Your company is crap! I will be filing a complaint with AAA over and over until they cancel your account. Posted this to both Google and Yelp. Your company is complete and total crap!!! read more

Weak af. Over charged me as if my car was in there for three days when it was only 4 hours. 650 down the drain.

This company came out to fix a tire couldn't do it. So we changed it to a tow with AAA. The company had a tow time of 1030 so a wait of 1.5 hours. (They called me at 1240, a 4 hour actual). Told them it was already canceled a rescheduled for the morning 9 am. The driver called us at 920 and said he was in the alley where GPS took him. We gave him the correct location on major road across from city hall. We watched him turn the wrong direction. Texted back and forth for 30 minutes no show so we called the company spoke with Mahood (sp?). They had cancelled our tow amd never told us.. he said we had to recall AAA. Do not do business with them. You will waste your whole day. I have had AAA for 19 years never a problem like this. Terrible. read more

This Company is a joke and very unprofessional. Had me waiting for 2.5 hrs through AAA and never called AAA to tell them they were busy and it would be 2 more hours. How can it take 4.5 hrs to do a tow in the next city. Then they said they only had 2 drivers like how can you work with AAA and do this to customers. Would give 0 and avoid this company at all cost. read more

Kevin was truly phenomenal. He came out right away and helped us with our dead battery. He helped us jumpstart and gave us a tow. He really went beyond and what he had to do an exceptional customer service. Thank you. read more

I'm updating my review to shout out tow truck driver, Jonathan. I requested a tow through AAA and the service Jonathan provided went above and beyond what's expected of a driver. He was professional, sympathetic, and efficient. If I could get a guarantee that Jonathan would be the driver for all my tow needs, I would use Golden Bear exclusively. read more

Disgusting customer service, not professional what so ever. If you have triple A ask for another towing company

I love AAA and have for 38 years. However, I am disappointed that they contract with this company. The customer service from this Golden Bear Towing is TERRIBLE. I was an hour away from my home when my car was experiencing issues. AAA sent this GBT out to tow my truck. What was supposed to be a simple tow to my home ended up being a 24-hour nightmare in which I had to eventually call GMC to come to pick up my truck because Golden Bear Towing was giving me such a hard time. It was 9 pm when they said they were 90 minutes out. When I called to check the ETA after 90 minutes passed, the customer service guy was VERY RUDE!!! He said the tow truck driver was 5-10 minutes away. I asked him "Are you sure because this is what I was told 30 mins ago." He responded "That's what I told you isn't it?" How rude!! The tow truck driver didn't arrive until 12:30 AM!! Upon arrival, he would not take my truck. What a nightmare. AAA informed me that he should have towed my truck because everything was good on their end. AAA requested a follow-up tow and GBT never showed. It is now 2:30am...I call to check the ETA and GBT said they aren't coming because they do not want to get sued. Smh, they are a terrible company. If you are in the Rancho Cucamonga area I hope you never have to rely on these guys for your car needs. AAA please CANCEL the contract with GBT. read more

Horrible people , they left me stranded on a road for 3 hours . When I called to complain about their several customer service issues the person on the phone was the most unhelpful person . Basically told me " I don't have to deal with you , take it or leave it " It was a rainy day.... I had no choice but to wait ... they never came . These people should be put out of business, I never waste time on negative remarks but these people are terrible read more

Last month I had a highly stressful day as I was getting rid of bags and bags of clothes from my closet. I had just about loaded my car with all but one bag. I locked my car and closed my trunk in order to quickly run inside and grab the last bag, upon coming out to my car, I searched all my pockets for my keys when I realized I left them in my, now, locked and closed trunk. I stressed as I had my car temporarily parked behind another car (because I was loading my car at my apartment complex where there is limited parking space). I stressed out, and called Triple A to see if someone could open the door to my Mazda 3 so that I could push the putt on to open my car (which is inside the car). Unfortunately Mazda 3 trunk cannot be opened with a key. Triple A informed me that an employee from Golden Bear towing would arrive shortly to assist me. In a matter of minutes a young man by the name of Hadi came out of his truck, asked the problem, and informed me that he had seen this problem before and that even if he had opened the door, I still wouldn't be able to open the trunk to my Mazda due to the Mazda 3's flawed design. He proceeded to open the door using his routine procedure. Once the door was opened, the car alarm was wailing. It had gone off for about 10 mins when he suggested that he disconnect my car battery while I problem solved. I called a lock smith, but they said they'd charge upwards of $200. While on the phone Hadi explained that he could try another technique. He did just that and succeeded in unlocking my car and opening my trunk. I was overwhelmed with happiness and relief. If it wasn't for Hadi, my human error would've costed me more than $200 during the already stressful Christmas season. His willingness to empathize with me, express patience, and problem solve helped me to successfully retrieve my only set of car keys and continue with my very busy day. Thank you Hadi and Golden Bear Towing Co! read more

i wish i could give 0 stars. mo was the rudest. while towing our car because of an alternator issue and i stepped to the side for a phone call and he leaves car in the middle of the parking lot and drives off without towing it! he didnt even come to tell me or anything he iust left me in 90 degree weather!!! so rude and disrespectful and called the manager to complain and he has nothing in his defense! in utter shock. do not recommend because very mean and unprofessional people read more

Kind of odd how all the pictures in their reviews the trucks not blocking traffic for an hour.....This is a picture of their expert drivers blocking traffic for over an hour at local business parks. Cannot see the driver, me neither after waiting for 15 min I was blocked in by 5 cars so nobody could leave because of this. The total time was 1 hour 10 min for this guy to unload. The driver emerged from a different location, a separate off-road shop he was apparently shopping while blocking traffic. I'll be posting the video of this guy cursing to all the cars and then going to turn his own truck off to not move the ramp which was extremely petty but hilarious because when he realized he had to go turn it back on to use the ramp the whole line laughed. Would never recommend this tow company I hope AAA sees how they conduct business and they lose their contract. read more
