BE CAREFUL **This Place Will Give Out Your Personal Information** They did this to me & now the owners of the car (that was towed) are Retaliating by Slandering me and my Business, as well as my safety. The tow truck driver Specifically told me that my info would not be shared with the car owner. However, this place gives out Names & Addresses like Candy, so just know, they don't have your safety in mind. When I question them as of why they would put my and my Business' Safety in Jeopardy, the Answer I got from the Manager, Diana, Donna Dina (Doesn't Really Matter) was "The Penal Code Says I Can" I am sorry but, I am a regular person. I don't know the penal codes because I don't need to know them, for what I do. That is the TOWINGS responsibility to advise the approver that their information would be shared, but they failed to do so. If anything they lied and said my information would be kept safe. Horrible Business. Horrible Business Practices. Keep yourself safe & don't use this business read more

Through AAA, Southside helped me tow my jeep to a local auto shop. Sam was really great, very kind and not pushy. Hope to deal with them again the next time I need a tow. read more

I called 2 times the lady answer she hang up 2 times too. Today at 9/18/2023. she is rude not ok for customer service read more

They were super quick to arrive (approximately 40 minutes before AAA said they would arrive). The driver, Kevin, was super helpful. My car started with a jump, but he wanted to be sure that I could get to Pep Boys without the car dying again, so he put it on the flatbed and took it to Pep Boys. read more

Leaving a review as a rep for my business, Tony and David were awesome. Our box truck wouldn't start. I needed to get it to Tom's for repair. The truck was parked behind my building, not an easy place to tow from. These guys were pros! Safely and efficiently, they guided their truck back and got it hooked up. Highly recommend these guys! read more

Thanks to them I lost my car because I didn't have the $800 they were trying to charge me for my #Covid hospital stay..... they both suck read more

Tonight we came home to find someone parked in our assigned parking spot. We called Southside towing, and David and Angel were able to help us. My mom and I were upset because we didn't understand everything and why we had to deal with the police and all of these other steps but David and Angel were very professional. Angel was able to explain the necessary steps a little more in detail, and we really appreciated that. He came out immediately and took care of the problem for us. Even though we were frustrated initially he was very nice and accommodating. Thank you Angel for handling our issue tonight and coming out so quickly. If you need help with a tow, I highly recommend this company and ask for Angel. read more

My car was anonymously flagged as being abandoned at curbside parking at Marina Park. It was there overnight. I returned to get it today at approximately 2:25 pm and it had been picked up by Southside towing. I was informed by Southside towing staff that the cost for today alone was $528 plus $51 for each recurring day that the vehicle is stored at their lot over the holidays. Additionally fees are charged to enter the towing lot during the holidays as well. This place is committing highway robbery and wrongfully confiscating vehicles. I am filing complaints with the better business bureau, consumer finance protection bureau and civil court due to their fees being absurd compared to industry standards. Their fees listed below are arbitrary and contrary at best, 1. cost breakdown - details ($196 tow, $51 storage per day, equipment dolleys $68, city release fee $146, $67 holiday after hour) 2. towing details: towed on 11/26/21 @ 9:41 am from the streets near marina park read more

My recent encounter with Southside Towing following a stressful car accident was an ordeal that I wouldn't wish on anyone. Initially, their drivers assured me that the towing service would be covered under my AAA membership, a key factor in my decision to trust them with my vehicle. This assurance was the sole reason I allowed them to tow my car to their lot. However, this trust was misplaced, as I was about to find out. The day after the accident, I was blindsided with a nearly $400 bill for towing and storage services. When I confronted the staff about the AAA coverage that was promised by their drivers, I was met with utter disdain. The women at the desk was particularly rude, embodying an attitude that seemed to take pleasure in my predicament. Her lack of empathy, blatant rudeness, and dismissive behavior were appalling. Despite my attempts to explain the situation, she showed no interest in helping or understanding, insisting that I pay the full amount if I wanted my car back. Their conduct went beyond mere customer service failings; it felt like a deliberate act of deception. By telling me one thing and doing another, they not only lied but also manipulated the situation to their financial advantage. This bait-and-switch tactic is not just unprofessional; it's predatory, especially towards customers in vulnerable situations. The ordeal didn't stop at financial exploitation. In an unfounded and slanderous move, one of their employees told our tow truck driver (who was from another company and there to pick up my car from Southside) that we had attempted to evade police on the night of the crash. This accusation was not only baseless but malicious, further adding to the stress and anxiety of the situation. Such behavior is not just unprofessional; it's unethical. Even a simple request made by my girlfriend for a PDF copy of the receipt was met with immediate rudeness. This consistent lack of basic courtesy and professionalism from multiple staff members points to a deep-rooted issue within their company culture. It's clear that Southside Towing does not hold its employees to a standard of respect, honesty, or integrity. Moreover, upon retrieving my car, I noticed additional scrapes and damage that I am certain, were not there before the tow. This discovery only added to my, highlighting their negligence and lack of care for customer property. From my experience, Southside Towing has shown themselves to be without morals, leveraging their position to exploit those in crisis. I strongly advise against using their services. There are tow companies out there that embody professionalism and honesty--Southside Towing is not one of them. read more

The owner David and his employee made the trip from Huntington Beach down to Chino Hills in order to help us retrieve a vehicle stuck in a crevice on an off road trail. Prior to Southside towing arriving, I had tried 2 other towing companies via AAA and neither of them could complete the request. It only took Southside Towing 30 minutes in and out to get the vehicle out. Great company and amazing owner/management. Will recommend again. read more

My car was towed by a revenue share partnership they have with a parking plaza, which sucks. Was charged $450 for a 1.2 mile tow and a "storage fee" that was less than 20 minutes long. That being said, the guys who work there are really friendly, nice, and responsive. The car that was towed was a corvette and they made sure not to damage it which was a relief. Great, friendly, and helpful tow truck drivers, but greedy and sleazy management. read more

I needed some large barriers moved to block a driveway. They were too heavy to move ourselves. I called a mutual customer, Southside, and they were there within minutes to help out. They even text me pictures to make sure it was done to my liking. Thank you Dave! read more

Gene from Southside towing saved the day for us yesterday! He was professional, polite and quick. Thank you so much!

Do not use this company, they way overcharge and even charge very high amounts for storage even if it's only for 10 minutes. Find a company with better customer service. They are very shady and scary workers. read more

I had a tough duty to perform today at Southside Towing in Costa Mesa. My father was killed in a car crash 11 days ago. From that awful scene, his car was towed to and stored at Southside, Costa Mesa. Once the police had completed their investigation of my father's car and the other driver's car, I was allowed to recover my father's personal property from inside his wrecked car today. Dave (Owner of Southside) and David were complete professionals who went the extra mile to make this awful task less awful. All of my Dad's stuff was undisturbed since being towed from the crash scene 9/30 to Southside. 5 stars. Thanks gentlemen. Greg read more

Julia was so helpful and understanding! Great customer service. Super quick and easy process.

I highly recommend Southside Towing! Easiest and most pleasant tow experience thanks to Sam! If I ever need a tow again in Costa Mesa I really hope Sam is on the job! I woke up to a flat tire this morning and had to get my car towed. I have AAA and requested a tow and was expecting a long wait time, as I've noticed it takes longer than it used to. To my relief Southside towing was already on the way and got there 10 minutes later! I live in a the back of a cul de sac and it's kind of tight, so I was stressing over it being hard to get my car out. Sam made it seem easy and we were out on the road in no time. He also inspected my tire and made sure that it wasn't a problem that he could fix. Unfortunately it was my air valve so I needed to bring it in. Luckily the tire place was nearby but I feel like Sam could make a long drive seem short! Great kind energy! Thanks Sam! read more

Moving truck was towed while wrongly parked in neighborhood. The company answered the phone late at night and confirmed they had it and communicated the best time to come pick up and pricing. I thought it might be tricky considering it's a rental truck. But it was smooth and efficient. Just needed rental agreement, license, and $392. No surprise fees. Quick service. Wouldn't suggest the experience but this company made it easy. read more

South Side Towing came to the rescue this morning. I live in Tustin and my garage is in an alleyway. There is a red fire zone painted on the ground that everyone disregards and there was a car parked across from my garage door in a way that I could not get out of my garage, so I called the police. They said it wasn't their problem. There was a South Side Towing sign posted on the building next-door. Same apartment call them. They sent a guy right over. He said technically he couldn't tow the vehicle cause it wasn't blocking my garage. It was on the side of the alley, but the driver Junior Told me he had these go jacks I think he called them so he put those under my back tires and was able to swing my car out like you see on TV with those cars that get the front end in and then they just slide the other end in and they get in the parallel parking spot. Well, he was able to spin my car around 90° so I could drive out of the alleyway with no problem at all and all he asked for in return was this yelp review excellent service above and beyond the call of duty he didn't have to do this. Thank you so much South Side towing and thank you so junior. read more

My car had been hit in my apartment parking lot by another resident. Dave, Angel and Fernando have been so helpful, amazing, and kind in helping me gather as much information possible to have a case on the other driver. They kept such good constant communication with me and took time out of their day to find video footage of the incident as they were the ones who had witnessed it. I am so glad and grateful for all of their help and communication that they did not have to do, but were so gracious in helping me with this. They are amazing!! read more
