I really don't mind paying for a tow, I parked improperly. But these scam artists refuse to take a credit card that says Ben instead of Benjamin because apparently "it's not my name." Every other business in America takes my credit card but not these guys so they can scam you into paying cash. Greedy businesses like this run by people who are rude on the phone are what give capitalism a bad name. Hopefully no one running this business has kids, I feel sorry for them. read more

The person who answered the phone was less than professional. She answered the phone with a simple " Hello?" When I call a company I expect to hear the company name somewhere in the greeting like simply saying " Jon's Towing.." or "Hello, this is Jon's towing.." etc. Oh well. So she took down my information and said that the driver would be at location in about 20 min. The driver showed up just under 30 min was a freaking miracle after I read the slip that the lady had given him. I was in Ralph's parking lot. She put down the street addy and Ral. That's it. Ralph's is in a strip mall so he was wondering what and where Ral was. Poor guy. But he was supper friendly and funny. Next. The lady had not asked if my Escalade was AWD or not. It is. To top it off I was calling a tow truck because the differential was messing up, and you can not tow the truck by only one end in an AWD situation without using the differentials which would cause more damage to them. Luckily he had these wheeled extensions he could use since he had not brought the flat beds since she failed to mention this fact on the work-slip. We got it to the mechanics and the tow guy was very patient while we got everything worked out there with parking and such. I really liked the service I got from this company despite the total ignorance from the secretary and all her miss-communications to the drivers. So Four starts until she learns her job or is replaced. Though I do recommend this company if you need help towing your vehicle. read more

Unethical business practice! My vehicle was towed from a private complex and that same evening it was towed, one of Jon's towers returned to the complex and was putting up signage in order to cover up their UNFAIR practices. I watched in disbelief as I went to return to my vehicle and found that it was gone. Because the tower returned to the garage (to put up signs), he gave me a business card to call and retrieve my vehicle. The person on the other line claimed that there was no one working at the lot to release my vehicle and purposefully made me wait until it was the next business day to release it! I felt that I was lied to because they clearly operate after normal business hours to release vehicles and they intentionally decided to PROLONG the vehicle recovery process. Upon going to claim my vehicle the next business day (it was past midnight) the area was dark and desolate. I felt unsafe and was mistreated by the staff. The person that released my vehicle was 1) the same tower who towed my vehicle; 2) the tower that returned to the complex after he towed my vehicle to put up signage; 3) the tower who returned to the storage lot after midnight to release the vehicle to me!!! Jon's Towing provided POOR customer service. They were DISCOURTEOUS; they DELAYED the vehicle retrieval process (called them 4 times to try to retrieve my vehicle); they were DIFFICULT to work with; and they showed LOW moral character. read more

This mental establishment wrongfully towed my vehicle & when I went to go pick it up there was a nail in my right front tire. The staff is just doing their job but they're entirely stupid on top of that & act like putting a napkin on the wholes that allow you to hear each other through the glass is gonna help prevent covid. Mind you, we both have masks on & have a glass in between us. So now you just can't hear them while dealing with stupidity. Just everything is wrong with this place & how they conduct business. Jon's towing is probably secretly ran by Donald Trump. It's very very terrible. It's also kind of creepy as if Walter White is in the back somewhere making meth. read more

You know I don't understand some people, this towing service I believe impounds cars that's why they are getting all these negative reviews. I just gave AAA a bad review because for all the money I spend paying for roadside assistance, I needed their help when I was stuck in the middle of the road and they wanted to charge me a arm and a leg becuase I didn't have the valid card with me really ????? I was in a accident and the police Officer was demanding me to move my car becuase I was "Blocking the roadway" and he said if I don't move it, he will move it for me. AAA being unhelpful in the moment where I needed help, I yelped for help and Jon's towing was my choice. They came so fast and automatically starting hooking up my car, the driver even told the Officer to shut up and that he will move my car soon. I only see 1 difference in a company that does not work with AAA and one that does, Jon's towing was very helpful and gave me that sence of mind that they will help me through this nightmare. AAA seemed like they didn't care and that it was my responsibility like " your on your own, we can help you". Knowing that Jons towking is there for the customer that thry just spoke to for yhe first time makes me think what all these reviews are actually about??? Don't park where your not allowed. Risking parking somewhere that says you can't will result in your car being towed...... I mean is that a secret? Having to pay becuase you thought you were smart and could get away is a FAIL on your end not anyone else. I hope I don't have to use Jon's towing again but if I'm in a bind, I will make sure I do because I got a reasonable price, they got me out of the situtsion quick and know what they are doing. read more

Jon's Towing - Towing Near Me - Sun Valley, California

My friend parked in one of the guest spots in front of my apartment building for 20 minutes to bring by groceries (we are in the middle of coronavirus quarantine) and their car was towed. It's not on red. We went to Jon's towing and asked how that was possible and they said somebody called to have it towed. I called apartment manager and she said they didn't call and weren't even physically at the building when the car was towed. As a note, we weren't in somebody's spot. This means that Jon's is driving around and randomly towing during this coronavirus quarantine. It cost $400 to get the car back as it was "after hours". The car was only in their possession for 10 minutes before we got there and they refused to give it back despite all of these information without paying the $400. read more

Jon's towing is a group of thugs that spend their days towing cars for quick cash and under the table deals. An investigation is underway with LA County in this company so beware!! They charge above their rates and hold your car hostage until you pay them in cash. Do not trust them and record EVERYTHING. read more

Beware , these trucks drive around with police scanners . They showed to my accident claiming they were sent by BMW, cause my sensors went off. BS, BMW doesn't know who they are and they attempted to hold my car hostage for 7 days with " storage fee" . If these people show up to ur accident call the cops . read more

My experience with Jon's Towing was a positive one , my wife's car broke down on the 5 freeway in Sun Valley after dark , I called AAA to have her towed home however they informed that it was going to take 1 hour . I looked on Yelp to see if there was a towing company near by , I called Jon's Towing and spoke the owner that informed me they could be there in 15 minutes . To my surprise the tow truck was there in what seemed like 5 minutes , the driver was helpful and got my wife & her car home safely . I saw some of the other reviews however I guess when your car gets towed you feel inconvenienced as well as upset which might explain the negative reviews . I have never had my car towed however I don't park places that are posted tow zones which just seems like common sense . read more

The most inconsiderate tow company ever. It's been difficult with this pandemic crisis effecting everyone, so I hope NO one ever encountered this company. My vehicle was towed from the property that I live in! I never really park in the stalls, but they are for the tenants of the complex. Apparently, even though you live there, there's no parking between the hours of 8 am until 12 noon, I failed to pay attention to that. I parked in one of the stalls and the time frame was between 11:30 or 11:45, also there was another car parked in one of the stalls. I was towed, but the other car, which the tow truck had to drive past, ONLY towed my car! Why is that? My car was towed 15 miles and on their lot 3 hours, I was charged $291.00. My car was the only one on the lot with out dust, which I STRONGLY believe that the company is trying to make up for loss revenue. I'm lucky to still be working, but I also take care of my mother, who has a long list of health issues, I parked there for a minute to get to my mother. I also was under the impression that the parking enforcement was extended to give people a break. I was told it didn't apply to private property, where I live! I have reported this company to the Better Business Bureau. read more

I came home and found that I I had a random car park in my garage and after many calls to the cops and a couple of other tow companies was getting no joy. No one wanted to help me out and tow the damn car. The next morning it WAS STILL in my garage, so I went on yelp and found Jons Towing. Within 15 mins they were out and had the car hooked up and pulled out of my garage. The guy was a delight to deal with no questions asked and I signed the paperwork and off it went. read more

If I could give a negative star- I would. This towing company uses bate and switch pricing. They towed our car and when we called to ask about pricing to pick up that evening vs. in the morning we were told it would be $403.50 that night or $291.00 in the morning because it was after hours (10:30 pm). We naturally decided to pick up car in the morning as it was less money. We also called in the morning to double check on the pricing and it was confirmed. When we got to the yard in Sun Valley at 10:30 am- the price went up to $403.50. Reason- Saturday is considered "after hours". First of all- there are no signs stating the hours of operation- so they can just make up whatever they want. There were 3 employees standing there and 1 on dispatch and who knows how many in the field....pretty heavily staffed for after hours. Secondly, we were quoted $291.00 twice. I will be filing a formal complaint with the BBB and the city. Crooks! read more

I got a flat and googled towing companies, and I had the pleasure of having this company pick up my car my drivers name was Heliberto he was very polite and friendly. If I need to get my vehicle towed again I will definetetly ask for the same driver Heliberto. Very professional company I tried other towing companies before and I was over charged and they were not very friendly. Thanks guys for taking good care of my vehicle. Denise A. read more

I'm surprised they even have two and a half stars, if I could rate this place lower I would. It's rare for me to leave a yelp rating but after experiencing the service at this place, I needed to warn the future customers. After they towed my car and were removing my car from their truck they damaged the front of the bumper, my bumper was cracked in three places, by my left light, the lower bumper and on my grill. This place is horrible and they definitely do not care about the cars they tow or their customers. read more

Left my vehicle in front of my own business for 10 minutes. I was inside eating my food these guys are ruthless . I got my vehicle towed before business hours I was just getting ready to open my shop . I also had money in my vehicle unfortunately. read more

They are honestly piece of shits and all lazy ass scum bags who over charge. I'm honestly thinking of filing a lawsuit because of false and differentiated prices. It doesn't seem to be a set price. Me & my lawyer want to take them out of business just need to gather some more pieces from other people. read more

Even though no one expects getting your car towed to be a good experience, this place is the worst. They towed one of my family members cars after business hours. When I called, a guy picked up the phone and asked me a few questions and provides me with the address. We drive over immediately after I hung up the phone and pull up to what looks like a chop shop with a 12 foot metal gate with signs indicating that no one is allowed on the premises without permission. This family member has had his vehicle towed in the past and is familiar with his rights. I had to call the place again and the same guy I spoke to on the phone come to this window in the gate for service. He come they take my cousin's credit card and driver's license and close the window in the 12 foot gate. Twenty five minutes later he come back and hands my family member his receipt, then tells him to give him his car keys. My family member refuses because TOW TRUCK COMPANIES HAVE NO RIGHT TO ENTER YOUR VEHICLE WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION!!!!! He asks for permission to be escorted to his car and the guy (same 1 answering the phone) says they will have to tow it out to him. Another taller much FATTER and ANGRY male comes to the window, and says to my family member that they need his keys to get the vehicle off the lot. Since the got the vehicle on the lot without the keys, that was a lie. My family member refuses and then he yells "I have all night" and slams the window shut. We have already paid for the vehicle and they are refusing to give permission to enter the premises as their sign suggested is acceptable. We call the local police and they tell us that we need an officer sent over, so they are send one. We called the towing company again and tell them that the police are on their way over. They decided to change their minds and open the gate almost immediately and allow my family member to get his vehicle. I'm not sure of why they are so afraid of the police but I will be reporting this company to the better business bureau as well. read more

Reliable guys! When your vehicle is in need of a tow, it's not fun but these guys made it stress free and I appreciate your help. Thanks Jon's Towing! read more

this is the worst towing company, I've ever dealt with. Their prices are ridiculous and they go around driving in communities waiting on innocent people who work hard for their money to make a profit off of them. This is called predatory towing and is ILLEGAL. They are like parasites in my community, everyone is scared of parking their car with this cheap towing company in the back of their mind. Horrible customer service, William and Gabriel are both not helpful and so disrespectful and RUDE. I'd also like to add things that were stolen from my car such as my mini speaker. I would not recommend this company at all, best of luck if you get these people to touch your car. GROSS. ANDDDDDDD one time I saw this parasite trying to tow my car and stopped him and he wanted a drop fee when my car wasn't even on his dusty cheap TRUCK. I seriously hope you guys have the worst karma and will pray that your blood-sucking business closes. I will be trying to get rid of your existence in my community. ALSO they do not even wear masks, and employees were not socially distancing without masks. CORONA virus infesation. Horribly run. read more

My vehicle was towed, and I do not contest that. Because it is my fault. I picked up my vehicle the next day and just want to go home because of the stress and their location is scary. Not much street lights, and very ghetto. As soon as i got home i noticed that there were some scratch that was made in my vehicle and called them. They gave me the run around and phone hang up. I believe the receptionist already kept my number so she'll know when not to answer. I've reported them to AAA, since they are AAA affiliated. I wouldn't have written this bad review if there was not any scratch created OR at least there was someone I could talk to. read more

So my car got towed by these guys and had to go get it from them but when we got there, there was no one aroud so we waited for about 20 minutes not joking for someone the show up. 20 minutes later some guy comes and tells us what we need in a rude tone so we explain that we want to get the car back so we give him the pinkslip and wait for him and he comes back and says he cant give me my car because its not registered to my name even though my name and signature on the pinkslip (because i had just bought it). So we ask for the manager and he says the same thing but also says i need registration papers wich is some bs because the pinkslip says im the new owner and has my name. So we ask him how much will it cost to stay another day and the price goes up $100 (thats why he doesn't want to give me my car) so instead of calling the cops we went to get it registered and came back to pay the fine. Once we came back they took like 10 minuets to show up at the front desk so i had to call them and they showed up. So we paid the fine and waited for them to bring out the car. We waited another 30 minutes so we asked what was taking so long and they said they were moving cars which is a lie because i saw my car in the security cameras with not one car around it and while we waited so finally i got my car and the put their oily hands all over it (its a white car) and i had to wash it off. So this whole experience was bad should've only taken a few minutes but took about 2 hours these guys are thieves and all the good reviews about these guys are fake! read more

Jon's Towing - Waited 30 minutes for someone to show up - Towing Near Me - Sun Valley, California

This place is a fraud. These positive reviews are fake. On the day I was unlawfully towed, I arrived to my grandmother's residence a little after 4pm and I was towed 37 minutes later by Jon's Towing for no lawful reason. I retrieved my vehicle about 1 hour later from the tow yard and they demanded $300 for it!. I did not give my consent for this tow or for these exorbitant charges and was met with a hostile, argumentative staff who refused to give me my car unless I paid whatever they hand wrote on the receipt. They threatened to keep my car over night and charge me more money if I didn't sign the receipt. Ostensibly, my property was held hostage and I cannot be held liable for these charges. This disreputable tow yard isn't allowed to collude with a tenant of the apartment, towing cars with impunity for mutual financial gain. They towed my car unlawfully from a private residence while I was parked in VISITOR parking. I have pictures of my car, the parking site, the sign that clearly says NO TENANT PARKING, VISITORS ONLY. They refuse to divulge who supposedly called to get my car towed or why they towed it!!! They have been rude ana totally uncooperative. I'm outraged with their total lack of accountability and assistance. Now I have no choice but to contact BBB, my credit card, consumer reports and Yelp to address my grievance. I demand a full refund of the ridiculous fee of $304 that they charged me and I will pursue the matter civilly if they continue to evade calls and not issue a full refund. read more

Very unprofessional and unorganized I don't recommend this place Tow truck drivers are lazy and not trained well On how to properly engage a car or truck, expect damage to be done to your vehicle read more

Oh my gosh.... Seriously.... Why is the guy that works on the yard SUCK A DICK? My friends car got towed from my condo community last night around 230am. His niece is the registered owner and they wouldnt start the process of releasing the vehicle without the registration paperwork, which is INSIDE THE VEHICLE (of course). She arrived here BEFORE 5pm. I drove my friend here (and go figure...it's raining). We arrived at 5:06pm. The DICK thats working the yard tacked on another $90 for "after hours release" EVEN THOUGH THE REGISTERED OWNER WAS HERE BEFORE 5pm. Tow yards have your vehicle so they have you by the balls... and thats wrong that they are able to manipulate that situation and charge higher fees for ridiculous reasons.... Hey...asshole that works the yard, it is fucking raining, maybe you shouldve taken that into consideration for us being 6 minutes past 5. Very bad business. Extremely bad customer service. read more

Yesterday June 1st you received a request from an apartment complex that you service to remove a vehicle without parking tags around 2:30 am. The address for this property - Reseda, CA 91335. While removing the vehicle your tow truck severely damaged my silver Nissan Sentra. I took photos and notified my apartment manager (- & -) who also took photos. They explained that the tow truck had to move another vehicle in order to tow the car parked illegally in our gated parking lot. There are tire marks that prove during the process your tow truck hit my car leaving a noticeable dent above the front right tire on the body of the vehicle. I called the police to have a police report created. The police called your business to see if this could be resolved. Over the phone your employee said that you keep video on all of your trucks and that I could come to your Sun Valley location to see the video and show my photos so that I could file a claim. I came to the location and the person there was very dismissive of me. They looked at one photo and came to the conclusion that their truck was not responsible for the damage. They would not file the claim or let me see the video footage from the truck. I returned to the same police officer to explain how your business treated me and helped me file the report after examining the photos and the vehicle. Since you refuse to cooperate and to resolve this issue professionally I will get a detective involved to view the video or take you to small claims court to recover the cost of damages and time I missed at work and commuting back and forth between you and the police station in Reseda. I'm also posting this entire paragraph on Yelp and reporting you to the Better Business Bureau. You are a dishonest company. read more

If I could have given them a zero I would have. These people are the lowest of the low lives. I had to call the police twice during my interaction with these degenerates. We had an issue where multiple cars were inaccurately towed from my company and during this ordeal I had to be reminded of the scum side of life. These are the people you warn your children about. I recommend anyone to complain to the BBB and to communicate with the local police. They have to be stopped in regards to their intimidation tactics and disregard for human decency and respect. I have the police looking into their jurisdiction. I was a lonely woman on the wrong side of town being bullied by these "men". Avoid them at all costs if you can, otherwise.... get the police involved. read more

I bought a 2011 corvette and to say I am a fanatic about keeping it in pristine condition, is an understatement. Two weeks after I got it, my ignition switch failed. I called Jon's Towing because Yelp showed they were the AAA service closest to my location. The person who answered the phone assured me that they would send out the right equipment and tow operator and take my car to the closest Chevrolet dealership. In less than 15 minutes a flatbed truck arrived. I wish I had gotten the name of the truck driver. He assured me my Corvette would be handled with tender loving care. I was very impressed with the professionalism and courtesy of the telephone operator and the tow truck driver. My Corvette and I arrived at the dealership safe and sound. Thank you Jon's Towing for a job well done! read more

Horrible and Deceitful! Was told one rate by one person, then they increased it by 200% and refused to deliver our truck to our body shop unless they got cash only. They body shop was only 5 miles from their location and they charged us over $700.00. They refused to take a credit card. Only wanted to cash. Totally shady place. read more

Worst towing company ever. Gabriel, the manager is a cheat. They charged me $170 to tow my motorcycle 20 minutes down the road and managed to break my mirror off the bike and will not accept fault. I have before and after photos of the bike and it couldn't be anymore obvious. It's almost concerning that they're denying responsibility for this after seeing the pictures....all you can do is laugh at this point. Do not use this company. read more

Was very nervous after getting my car towed early Sunday morning in Pasadena and reading the reviews about Jon's. Called at 11am on Monday to maintain that I would be able to pick my car up and asked about the payment amount. The gentleman I dealt with was polite and the pick up process took less than 15 minutes. I understand towing is always a hassle for people but this was easy and efficient. read more

Jon's towing was prompt, courteous and very helpful. Thank you for making a terrible situation much better

My friend's van was towed a few day ago and we had no idea since it i for his business, but i called around 6 and told them the situation, they told me the office was closed and everyone was out for the day but the employee went out of his way to check if he had the van and they did. he was very helpful and told me the price, which i wont lie was a little high but it had been there for about a week so it didnt go over the $500s, over all they are way better than diamond towing here in LA read more

I got my car towed recently from a private parking lot and when I went to go receive my car they scratched my front bumper and charged me unreasonable fees for example 100 dollars due to the car being worth more then 4,000 and another extra fee for the car being at their location for "1 day" when it was only there for 3 hours. read more

Terrible practice. My car was legally parked at home in my APARTMENT parking lot and was towed by this company. The "manager"was very pushy and condescending. Refused to supply me with a picture of why my car and EVIDENCE AS TO WHY IT WAS TOWEF. The Manager told me the longer I stood there trying to talk to him the more it would cost me. He told me I did not have permission to be in the lot and to be parked where I was. My placard was clearly displayed and I was NOT parked ANYWHERE in the lot that read DO NO PARK OR FIRE ZONE OR HANDICAP PARKING. I have also seen other cars parked in this spot before and after my car was parked there and they have not been towed!! I've contacted the owner of JONS TOWING and via email and several days later he responded and told me he forgot. Not professional. SCAM to tow cars and meet whatever quota they have. I've also filed a complaint the BBB to give them a chance to resolve this matter before litigation. read more

I am a landlord for a number of properties in the San Fernando Valley. Jon's Towing has been courteous to my tenants when tows have been performed. They ALWAYS take a picture of the vehicles before they tow and the way they are parked whether they have permits, etc. They towed a vehicle that the permit was missing and picked her up and discounted the tow. They are nice guys in a difficult industry. read more

From now on this is the place I will use if ever in a jam for towing again! 5 star quality all the way! read more
