Bring cash or be prepared to write a check: they don't take card (but won't tell you that when you call ahead) but oh what a convenience, they have an onsite ATM that charges a $5 fee (on top of whatever your bank will charge you). Just a blatant petty scam that, while endearing at cash-only restaurants, is not what you want when trying to pay off the ransom to the people holding your car hostage. I confronted the owner/manager about this saying I would pay them $5 less because they're already getting that from their machine n he preceded to start humming and hawing about how it's not like that n they don't see that money n I'm not interested in hearing obvious lies so I walked out the room to just go pay n he chased me down n yelled at me "you can pay the whole amount!" Only reason I'm not giving one star is because of the very helpful n nice drivers. The staff deserve a better boss. read more

these morons don't know how to read and towed my legally parked car out of my apartment complex and ignored the parking permit sticker I had visibly displayed in my back window. If they try these shenanigans again I will be calling the police and reporting my car stolen read more

TRASH. I parked at a lot I have parked at before and I guess they were bored on Labor Day and felt like towing me. It had barely been 40 minutes! I called the call center, the woman took all my info down and said she would contact the driver... 30 minutes and nothing (never got a call back period). I had to call a ride to get to the place... at this point, it's about 8:15pm and past sunset. I happen to run into the tow person after he put my car there. He gives me a higher price then says it's cash only. I asked abour zelle, vendor, etc. He said no, only cash. I said fine, I'll go get cash and come back in # minutes. When I came back, there was a diff tow person there... and this second person gave me a different price.. A LOWER price ($156 USD). I gave exact change because I read they can lie and say they don't have change. Nevertheless, he also sent an electronic receipt via text and I received it instantly. I dont know how that scammer/liar was going to finagle giving my receipt with that higher price he gave me..maybe lie claiming I tipped him?? CRAZY. BE WEARY!! So some of these drivers are SCAMMERS. They add on money just to POCKET some of it. Selfish and unethical employees/business. Never mind the call receptionist who never returned my call, as if not having my car and personal belongings wasn't an emergency?? I couldn't bare to have my car there overnight. I was committed to staying there by the gate and waiting for any tow person to be there. I was told by the second (and honest gentleman) that they stop giving cars back at 11pm due to safety issues with the cash exchange. My situation was handled within an hour (I noticed my car was gone 7:45pm, then the time it took to find the tow company info, call the useless call center, get picked up, go to the place twice, and get cash (in Providence)). I was back in the driver's seat of my car at 8:41pm. Someone else pulled up when I was abour done with my transaction and they came from Pawtucket with cash in hand. It was her first time too getting towed. Fortunately, she was getting handled by the same honest man I got and so she would be getting charged the correct price!! Clearly the business only accepts cash so that they dont report all their earnings to RI and Federal taxes! Never mind the filka that upcharge and/or don't provide others with receipts. Terrible business. read more

State Towing Service - My receipt for today . Make sure you dont get scammed by some of these drivers - Towing Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

See all

My kid went clubbing and parked in a private residence yesterday (Saturday.) I was able to find the towing company (State towing) with the police. I called customer service and told me they would contact the owner. He contacted me and let me pick up my car today (Sunday) even though it was closed. Straightforward and positive experience. read more

I brought my vehicle to this shop not thinking much as I entered it. How surprised was I with the level of professionalism and humbleness displayed by Michael and Scotty. You guys were able to solve the three issues with my car and Ive been happily ever after. The price was also very reasonable. I also noticed humble way Scott treated the two people whose vehicles had been towed. Rest assured you've got a customer for life. Thanks again. GR read more

got my car towed last night I called today and they said I cant pick it up till 4pm and the owner I think it is leaves at 12pm how does that work?? Then the women on the phone had a nasty attitude and provided no information at all And she didn't know anything. I called a couple minutes later and another women picked up and she actually provided the information the other worker didn't give/know And was actually nice and helpful. read more

What a horrible company. So trash like they treat ur car. Not good at all. U still see the damages that were done to my car from them. My car wasn't even supposed to be towed...... read more

Absolutely horrible！Tow your car for no reason，awful customer service，only accept cash！

The owner has a bad attitude then told me I can't get my car if it's blocked in. I'll have to wait

Had an accident due to tire blow out. They picked up same day, handled all the insurance issues and fixed my car with minimal delay. There were huge supply chain issues during this time frame and they scoured the whole US snd Canada to get the parts needed to fix my car. Always friendly and responsive! Would recommend highly and will return if I ever need more work done! read more

about the worst towing company in history, I had asked to be able to receive the items in my car and that I would return the next morning to pay and pick up my car that I would just like the items in my car and the man on the phone told me time I shouldn't get my car towed and blatantly hung up in my face they have the worst customer service ever if your car is towed here good luck read more

Business is listed for Valley Street, Providence, entrance is on the side street though, Harold Street. Business has no sign on the building saying what it is. Their tow lot is across from the entrance. Recovered my car pretty quickly though. They only accept cash. No credit cards, not sure on checks. read more

Gave the tow truck driver 200 bucks to get my car instead of the 140.... he didn't have change. Unreal

Slimy as is typical for this lowest of the low towing industry. These characters go around towing vehicles at night time hours when their office isn't even open. Bottom of the barrel people. read more

I was concerned about using this company after reading Yelp reviews; however, after experiencing the customer service first hand, I knew I had to post my experience. First, Steve was quick to answer, find me a tow, and he kept me posted throughout the entire process. Second, when the tow came, he was NOTHING but helpful and kind. He talked me through what would happen, the cost, and all the rest. Third, while they do only accept cash, I was told that over the phone before I confirmed the tow, and in person, before my car was towed. I called six other tow companies that morning, and was treated like an inconvenience for calling at 8:00am. I hope I never have to do tow again, but if I do, I would call them! read more

I'd give them less starts if I could. I work nights and was going to move my car when I woke up after it started snowing and there was already police and tow trucks on my street. My car wasn't hooked up or next to be towed but the tow company came over and prevented me from getting in my car to move it. I was told I had to talk to the police officer to get it and the police told me it was up to them and they wouldn't let me get in it. I was told if I had $60 I could keep it so I asked if I could walk 2 minutes to the atm and told I couldn't. Then they said it was $120 if I wanted it the next day. I walked to the atm and got $120 and walked over to them within 15 minutes and was told when I got there it was $240 to get my car back by "Steven" who appeared to be a 13 year old supervisor. He said he would just take would I had in my pocket and do me a favor. Not only did they steal my property but then tried to steal more money from me to get it back. Shut the whole place down and put them all in jail read more

absolutely rude and ignorant, tried to get me for an additional $10 at pick up- paid $131 to have it released- no receipt, no signatures, .. shady business read more

Wish i could put less stars, went in with my g.f. Who had got into a accident earlier that morning and the vehicle was towed here. The first time we spoke to the guy up front, (wish i had his name) could already perceive a bit of attitude in his tone. Could not process cards or take a check so had to leave and come back with cash. Asked why it took over a hour for the vehicle to be towed 10 min away and received no answer and a confused response. Then from there he was super rude for no reason to us, so we called him out on it and was met with a fake apology, told him off and left. No one should do business with a place that customers have to be met with such a rude person, horrible experience. read more

Literally the worst towing company. They don't expect credit cards and when you give them cash they don't have any change. I was told to come in the next day just to get a receipt and change. I honestly don't know how these douchebags stay in business. When I came back the next morning to pick up my car and get a receipt no one was there and had to wait 20 minutes for someone to get here. I am apualled that the lack of customer service at this place. read more

State towing service is an absolute lifesaver!! You are in great hands! I got myself into a very tricky situation when I got stuck on a ledge on someone's porch and thought surely I was going to pay a lot more money in damages. Mike jr. came to the rescue and boy did he do a good job! He told me he'd take good care of her and he sure did do so. He carefully removed my car from the ledge and without any damages or scratches returned it to me. Mike jr I'm so appreciative of the great service and care I received! read more

State towing service is the worst company ever. They had my car for 2 months, and when I called them, they just keep saying the car will be ready soon. They even avoid my call. State towing SUCK! Will NEVER go there even its the last bodyshop in the world!! read more

Completely unprofessional, rude, and no regard for other people's property (my transmission and engine are messed up.) Getting my car back took almost 3 hours after paying at one place, driving to a lot where no one was to get my car back, getting hung up on, and treated completely disrespected for no reason. Would not let them hook my bicylce up! A joke company to be stayed clear of! read more
