Hawks Towing

On the night…read moreof 12.14.24 my father had passed away, after leaving my mother's home in OC we were driving back when we got a flat tire in Lynwood. This is an area we are unfamiliar with and let alone we ended up pulling into this sketchy area as it was the closest off the freeway. It was so scary and we had to abandon our vehicle due to not being able to get roadside service right away. My family and I had to leave our vehicle behind an alley and run to find a safe place to find a tow company. I called a few places and they told them our situation and they were quoting $600+ plus to tow and drive us back to the Valley. I ended up finding Hawks via Yelp and decided to give them a call. I ended up speaking with a nice individual and he quoted us half the price. They came to our rescue and had to bring a flatbed due to the type of vehicle we had. He drove us all the way from Lynwood to the Valley. After going through such a traumatic and sad incident with my Father the Owner of Hawks drove us to our house safely he was kind, compassionate, he kept my sons spirits up and made us feel at ease and just safe. He will forever be our guardian angel. Professional, honest, hard working and kind. I would highly recommend Hawks! Thank you

Then he discloses that he does not have a tire jack ....and our car service request was a flat tire service request call !! So my wife asked the driver hey isn't that kind of irresponsible to show up 7 1/2 hours later to a flat tire service request with no tire jack and his shrugs and shoulders and says oh yeah I guess so . Ultimately, forcing us to have a car towed instead of just putting on the spare tire . Unbelievably unacceptable, pure trash, towing company !!!

You DO NOT want this company coming to your aid. We waited 3.5 hours of having endless ETA go from 120 minutes, 45, back to 120... and then down to 30 just to eventually jump back up to 109 minutes yet again. It was extremely evident that this company was accepting the request from AAA, and then getting it in their cue dock to decide they didn't want to come to the economy lot at LAX (which is no where near the downtown traffic at 3 am). AAA literally had to transfer our service request to a reliable company from Whittier over forty five minutes away. Extremely frustrating and beyond disappointing service for a company only 10 miles away. If you are considering using them for even a simple battery jump, steer clear you will be sitting for hours with no result.

Then I spoke with Mike, and he was beyond accommodating. He took me in the same day, handled my oil change efficiently, and made the entire experience stress-free. What really stood out was that Mike didn't just do the oil change and send me on my way. He took the time to walk me through a game plan for my next service and explained what should be addressed moving forward to make sure nothing negatively impacts my engine. That level of care and transparency is rare. On top of that, he filled my tires because they were low--completely on his own, without me even asking. It's the little things like that that show how much he truly cares about his customers. And he even gave me a discount on the price because I was a first time customer. If you need anything for your car, go to Mike. He and his team are professional, honest, and genuinely the best. I've found my go-to shop and won't be going anywhere else. Thank you Speedway.

It's one of the best decisions I have made this year. Will was able to come out with a day or so and run a diagnostics check, quickly locating the issue and showing me the results. He explained to me what the issue was, discussed options, gave me a full quote and a price - highly competitive. With me agreeing to what needed to be done, he ordered the part (Saturday) and came back the next day (Sunday) to install it. Incredibly helpful and so polite, he showed me the new part, walked me through what he was going to do and afterward even showed me the part he removed and explained the wear and why it was actually perfect timing. Within hours I was up and running again, good as new. I have NEVER had service like this from a dealership in all my years of being a car owner and driver (and that's several decades). Will also flagged other things that I needed to be aware of (including needing an oil change - which I will be getting him to come and do) but at no point pushed for me to do them there and then - zero pressure, just guidance. He repeatedly asked if I had any questions and was keen for me to understand what was happening and why - superb! He even cleared up the work area after he'd finished. Flawless. Aside from the convenience and Will just being an incredibly nice guy, his attention to detail and service are second to none. Friendly and knowledgable, he works hard to make sure you understand what he's doing, and is professional and polite at every step along the way. Will clearly cares and takes great pride in what he does. He's the only person I will be going to for my automotive service needs from now on. Highly recommended.

Totally cool service! Marvin went above & beyond what I expected. My '67 Belvedere was not in the best place to pickup in West Hollywood (cramped & crowded) but he managed to maneuver his truck into a driveway meant for a compact car. Afterwards, when locked & loaded traffic was, you guessed it, ridiculous! He managed that with relative ease to the transport vehicle back to Texas & into the trailer about one foot higher than his vehicle. I did NOT think it was possible but he did what he said, "not a problem! I'll get it done." Your services were greatly appreciated Marvin. Thanks dude! read more

Marvin is a cool cat and his service is excellent. He towed a car for me about a 2 months ago the car by the way was a 1974 nissan 260z. I gave him a call early in the morning some where around 5am and once i got to his place we drove to palmdale where we picked up the car. Long story short we got their quick he towed the car to my house and even helped push it into the drive way. The price for the tow was more then fair with all honesty i thought it was too good of a deal so i ended up giving him an extra 10 dollars. True story. By the way you should ask about his Z its beautiful. read more

My insurance company sent out a lazy ass tow truck driver that refused to help me push my car (starter needed to be replaced) from my parking space on to the flat bed after he was 45 minutes late so I had to scramble and found Marvin's Towing through a quick Google search and found his Yelp review. As with everyone else's review, Marvin is extremely attentive, priced lower than other folks and is very professional. I'd have no problem calling him again (hopefully not though) or recommending him to others if they ever need a tow! Great service, affordable and efficient. read more

Marvin is awesome! I originally called AAA and they recommended their own affiliated towing company. That company would only take cash, $125 to tow! Who carries around that much cash these days? I called them back twice and was going to offer more money if they would take cc for payment. I was put on hold twice for a long time. Never got to talk to anyone. I got mad and started looking in Yelp for other towing companies. Came across Marvin's towing. He was courteous, fast and charged me only $90 with cc payment. He arrived in 5 minutes. I highly recommend his service! read more

My car needed to be towed and I started to call various tow companies to see who really wanted my business. One company wanted to charge $130 for a three mile tow while the other one made me wait an hour and a half before telling me that it would be another 30-40 minutes wait. After being fed up with all of these tow companies, I found Marvin's Towing on Yelp. Marvin came within 15 minutes and was way more inexpensive than the competition. If you ever need a tow, make him your first and only call. read more
