After a very scary blowout and waiting for 2 hours just for my insurance to say they can't find anyone to help me, Tapias, with the help of Ponchos, was able to get me safely back on the road. They arrived within 40 minutes as promised, quick, reliable, and I will always call them! Don't waste your time with insurance or anyone else, call them and get reimbursed. read more

See all

Tapia's saved my a$$ in the middle of the night when I got a flat in Baker. I highly recommend Tapia's Towing and Pancho's Mobile tire shop. 2 great guys were sent out to help me; I was back on the road in less than an hour. Thank you, Tapia's and Pancho's! read more

They came out very quickly and make sure to make sure my ID matched the name of my credit card because I wanted to pay online. A lot of companies don't care to even check that kind of stuff. Those companies only care if the payment goes through or not, so I'm glad they made sure to see my ID prior to accepting my payment. They helped to quickly resolve what was otherwise becoming a stressful and frustrating situation. Muchas gracias Tapia's Towing. We appreciate your help today read more

Saved the day at a reasonable price! We had a flat on our way back from Vegas going to Southern California. Luckily we called TAPIA'S and they were able to quickly patch up the tire and get us on our way! Couldn't be more happy with the rescue!!! read more

Quick and efficient, called them and only took 10 min to get to us. Towed us back to their shop and fixed the tire very quickly.

Tania's towing is quick and very helpful!!! Lifesaver and right in baker!! Came to us in 15 mins after calling!! Thank you Tapia!!

Guarantee half these reviews are family/ friends because I wouldn't recommend going here to anyone. Our tire blew out in the middle of nowhere & we were stuck for almost 2 days until a trucker was kind enough to help us out & get us a tow truck through AAA... now already we were stuck in a tight/difficult situation even after getting the new tire onto the rim its just at this point we needed air to seal it on. This was the closest place (35miles) from where we broke down & they knew it because they wanted $40 cash to put air in. Reminder we already spent over a day w help of passerbys getting the rim onto the new tire. We had literally only $30 cash on us at that moment & they still refused we walked the tire over to Ken's towing & tire service around the corner & not only were they kind/understanding but they were beyond helpful going above & beyond to make sure our tire was good/ready for the long journey home. We paid them $10 & had cash left over for COLD waters & food. Do yourself a favor & don't go to this house (so-called service shop) walk to Ken's a block away connected to the chevron! There's no way they have this high of a rating on yelp without help. Not one person we talked or asked about this place to had anything good to say about it. Not One!! Another car that had broken down that we helped out while stranded ending up already being at Ken's T&T service when we arrived. They had similar problems with tapias. read more

Great tow service. On our way to Vegas and got into an accident on I-15 just past Baker at 11pm and couldn't get a tow company through our insurance. So we researched on our own and called several tow companies. Many advertised 24/7 service but we couldn't reach most of the companies. We finally got ahold of two companies (one of them being Tapia's Towing). Tapia's answered right away and provided a much more reasonable quote than the other company. They were responsive and arrived on timely. The driver was super nice and very considerate and even offered to stop for us to get refreshments of needed. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! Our old camper van broke down in 108 degree weather just before the California/Nevada border. Oscar at Tapia's came to the rescue. As the sun was setting he got to work getting our van secured to the tow truck and got us safely to a mechanic in Vegas. He went above and beyond helping us make sure the van was parked in a safe spot and waited until and Uber came to pick us up. It was a scary situation to have car breakdown on the side of a busy highway and Oscar made us feel very safe and secure. So thankful he came to save the day!! read more

TAPIA'S TOWING - Towing Near Me - Baker, California

The worst thing that can happen during a weekend getaway is your car dying in the middle of the the desert highway...after calling AAA and other towing services, this was the only placed that immediately picked up my call and gave me a fair quote. I had to be towed from the 15s all th way back to OC and the service I received was A1. This is a Latinx owned business and I enjoyed their service and customer service. read more

Best tow truck service ever!! Oscar assisted us as we got stranded on our way to Vegas. We were looking for a Mercedes tire that hit a nail and it was hard to find the tire. He went above and beyond on his service and even helped us find a tire place by calling the shops and even waited for the tire shop to open to ensure we got the tire we needed. I 1000000% recommend them for services. read more

My tesla ran out of power towing my big ass trailer, and these guys came to the rescue quicker than any other tow truck driver I've ever dealt with. They made sure they got the car loaded up properly and to the charger, dropped it off and they made sure that my car started charging before leaving. These guys went above and beyond to make sure that I got where I needed to go and they gave me information on how to call them in case I had any other problems. Definitely five star service from the get go even from a little town like Baker California. If you need a tow for anything these guys are quick and they know their stuff. read more

5 stars. Our car's engine overheated about an hour after leaving Vegas. We needed it towed back to Vegas to have a mechanic to check it out. We were at Nipton,CA. Called Tapia Towing, and they gave me a reasonable quote upfront and ETA. The tow truck came on time. The drive was very efficient. The truck was clean and able to seat our family of four. All good also considered it was Sunday of the long Memorial Day weekend. read more

I was on the road to see family urgently. I got a flat. Called AAA and they put the spare on, gave it some air and rolled out. I mapped 2 tire places really close to one another. I went to Tapia's first because of the rating but man did those stars lie! Started out odd because I drove up to the business in the middle of the day and it's a house with a garage and a big storage unit for tires. It said open but it was like in a western empty. Ok fine. I needed a tire so it is what it is. NO ONE was around ANYWHERE. Even knocked on the door of the home, which felt really bizarre. Finally called and the owner(I guess) says "the tire guy wasn't there but was about 10-15 minutes away." I was in a hurry so I said, well let me check out the other place before you pull your guy. The owner caught a serious attitude. Took it REAALLL personal. And I thought women were vindictive?! And we are...but MAN!! We hung up and I drove to the other place... which as it turns out... just has their business up on google and all the signage is still there but they were no longer doing tire or tow services at all, "oh sorry about that", the lady said. Ok Baker, CA... So I called this Tapia place back and said, hey it looks like life is what it is and I need to wait. But in that little 2 mins he was brewing and put the high blood pressure in "salty" honey. He said, but what about the other place? I'm like, Sir eww is that smoke...You have a "We're Open" sign with no one around YOUR BUSINESS and you salty because I don't want to wait on your employee who's supposed to be at the OPEN business site. Eww, just send the guy and let's go. Anyway, he sent the guy. The guy was nice enough but didn't do a good job ANNDDD...He broke the sensor! We both heard it snap off, and when I saw the hand in the cookie jar face, I knew something was wrong. He handed it to me and said just have THEM put a new one on. We don't have the machine. Huh? He said it's happened to me and it's nothing! LIES!! It's taken me months to get it squared away and get the light off on the dash cuz if that mess doesn't match up to your computer... goodluck!! Really?! Behind a flat tire though, all this nonsense! Ughh! Even the mechanic shops that are actually decent, lookin at me, like I'm lookin at them!! This CLOWN SHOW is TERRIBLE with a capital WTF is this Bull!!. Needless to say, they had to TOP IT OFF with one final RIP OFF...So the tire guy said they took Zelle and it would be cheaper, but the beta owner, with his attitude on, charged me 232.00$ for ONE medium grade tire! I know cars and this was wow! He knew I had to though. I had to have the tire and he took full advantage after they broke my sh(& too! To finish out...I didn't want anybody doing any funny mess to my tire that may endanger me so I held my tongue and got what I needed to get me to safety and have it ACTUALLY taken care of. Five stars my ENTIRE A*^!! This was a terrible experience and I wouldn't let these people hold a rock sitting still in traffic for me on a greenlight! Ok well, thanks for listening and I hope this is helpful. I always worry about being to fwd! Hahaha! I don't. But hey stay clear if you can! Happy 4th of July ;-) read more

Great service , friendly and reliable! Were here right in time like they said and for a tow in the middle of now where (Barstow area to Las Vegas was 850$) which I feel isn't to bad for last min and they also worked with me in the payment method Shout out to pancho he gave us a ride to the next rest stop so we would be on the side of the road Thanks ! read more

Tapia's Towing is NGTG..do not use this company..I have free roadside assistance..I was broken down in a remote area.. I called roadside assistance that pays the tow company..When the driver arrived..he demanded and additional $100 from me and told me that he only took cash..This asshole then would only help once he was paid..we could only scrape up $97 which he took..I reported the incident and have heard nothing back. Date of incident 1/21/22 @approx 8pm read more

After suffering a collision with the center divider due to hydroplaning (monsoon season in Vegas is no joke), we waited for 3 hours for Agero (roadside assistance dispatcher for our insurance) to run around in circles and eventually not sending us a tow truck at all. We were fed up and began looking on our own and found Tapia's Towing. Francisco, our tow truck driver, came as swiftly as he could to get us and our car out of harm's way. He even offered to make a stop and pick up some food for us since we've been on the road for over 7 hours by that point! Paying attention to little details like this clearly distinguishes him as providing sincere care for stranded motorists. If you ever get stranded on I-15 near Barstow/Baker/Primm, don't hesitate to give them a call. We cannot recommend Tapia's Towing, especially Francisco, enough for the great service they delivered at a very reasonable price. read more

Oscar and his wife saved our lives!! My boyfriend and I were off roading in Death Valley and it was all fun and games until we got stuck in the sand. We tried to push the car out ourselves for a few hours and then decided that we should call someone for help. After a few calls to different companies, Oscar was the only one that would come out and help us. Apparently other companies just leave you out there... Oscar showed up about 45 minutes later with water bottles and all the tools to get us out!! He also made sure we got back to the main road safely, as other were stuck in there too. My boyfriend and I were so so so thankful for all his and his wife's help! read more

Isaac got to us within the time quoted. Drove us all the way to vegas and made sure we we're comfortable. Thanks so much!

Love these guys. Had a flat and "no run flats" were not getting me to Barstow. Was 100 miles from LV and 70 from Barstow. Called a Barstow company and they had me wait for 90 minutes. When I called them back they said they would be another 90. Gave up on them and called Tapia Bros. They were at my car in 15 minutes. Professional. Got me to a tire shop as quickly as possible. Love these guys. read more

I ran out of gas along the interstate in the desert today and got connected with Tapia's via State Farm. They were quick (as quick as possible-- traffic was bad today), friendly, and made sure to wait for me to start my car just in case. Super communicative, too! read more

Transmission failed 25 minutes outside of Baker, CA. Tapia's towing was responsive, no hassle, had a truck out to pick me up within 40 minutes of my call. Truck driver was pleasant, professional and careful to not cause any damage to my car while loading/unloading. Towed me back to Vegas for a reasonable rate and without any issues. Would definitely use them again! read more

if I could give 0 stars I would. Called this place at 2:55 am with my boyfriend because we had a blown tire and we were missing a piece to our jack. we were told it would be 50 dollars for a driver to get out here and help us in 35 min. around min 45 we called to get an update and the guy said he went back to his shop because we did not answer. mind you were in the middle of the mojave desert 10 min outside of baker, ca with no cell service. we asked if he could come back because I am 8 months pregnant and it is now 3:45 am and i'm stranded and he straight up said "no". Horrible human being and horrible business. Doesn't care about the well being of others. read more

Forever grateful to Oscar + Gilbert for getting us back on the road! Got a flat tire today on our last day of a 2-week road trip in a rented RV. Our GEICO Roadside Assistance would not cover us due to us being in an RV and not a car. We did not purchase Roadside Assistance through Outdoorsy (live and learn on that one!) - and the company their Roadside Assistance people told us to call (West Coast Fleet Services) said it would cost $680 for them to come out and change the tire! Googled a few places and thank the Universe one of them was Tapia Towing! Oscar called around and found a slightly used tire that would work and was to us in 30 mins to change it. 2 hours and $250 later - and we are back on the road. THANK YOU, OSCAR - for helping us, and for not being the type of person who takes advantage of people in desperate situations. read more

I feel so lucky to have found this place! Oscar was so nice and efficient! We got a flat tire outside of Vegas and called them, they had the tire I needed and Oscar took care of it in a timely matter! read more

I would recommend Tapia Towing to anyone needing of assistance/tow! After dealing with Mercedes Benz roadside assistance for over an hour and being stranded alongside the freeway, they promptly picked me up off of I-15 and towed my car back to my Las Vegas dealership from Baker. The owner is very friendly, accommodating, and professional. read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! If you're ever in need of towing near baker DO NOT CALL THIS PLACE! My first time calling in I needed gas and towing after asking about prices the owner insulted my financial background, yelled at me over the phone then hung up on me. I called back to figure out what just happened and my call was ignored read more

We were stranded on a dirt road in Mojave National Preserve and they were the only ones who would come save us. Apparently other companies are afraid to go into the desert. Lucky for us Oscar came to our rescue! When I talked to him over the phone he even asked if we needed anything like water or food, so considerate! He came prepared with a tow truck and a 4x4 pick up truck to help pull my car out of the sand. He truly went above and beyond from start to finish as he brought extra help and they both made sure we were safely on our way to the main road before they left. read more

Thank you to Oscar & his crew!! Traveling to Vegas in our RV we got a flat tire... somewhere on the I15 in 100+ degrees... we had called 10+ tire & towing companies and none were as helpful as Tapia's Towing . Oscar didn't have the tire we needed but he called around & found it and showed up to help us in the time he promised . He & his guy were quick in changing out the tire and very professional. I would recommend his service ... absolutely!!! We are so grateful !!! read more

Very good price for the trouble that he had to go through to get us and was professional at all times , provided good service and got us to where we needed and fix our tire for a very good price read more

Great service. Oscar communicated with me and made sure we were safely off the road as soon as possible. Friendly and efficient. No one likes breaking down on a cross country trek. Tapia Towing were helpful and kind when we needed it. read more

Yesterday, I found myself in a crisis situation. While driving on a dirt-road in the Mojave National Preserve, my sedan sank into the sand! It was noon on a Sunday with a temperature of 107 degrees Fahrenheit and I was stranded in the middle of the desert. I tried my best not to panic as I hiked back to the paved road to look for help, but after waiting 15 minutes, not a single car passed me by. I walked further along the road, wondering if I was going to have to hike 20 miles back to civilization in the desert heat with limited water, when I miraculously found a few bars of cell reception. I searched for tow companies in Baker and called A-1 and Ken's, but they both said that their trucks did not drive off of paved roads. What kind of B.S. is that!? But, when I called Tapia Towing and explained my situation, Oscar said the three words anyone in that situation longs to hear: "I'm leaving now." Within 30 minutes, Oscar found me, and got my car back to the road with the utmost speed and professionalism. Oscar Tapia really was my hero yesterday and I'm incredibly grateful to him. His company is open 24-hours a day and I cannot recommend him enough! read more

My car overheated on the I-15 on the way from LA to Utah. After calling my Insurance company they tried 3 towing companies and could not find anyone that would help me. I called Tapia's Towing. They were there within 30 minutes. The driver Alonso was so friendly. I was alone. Alonso towed me to MB Auto repair. He lives in Baker and knows the shop. Alonso stayed until he made sure they looked at my car and made sure everything was okay. I can't believe that I received such wonderful service. If you need a tow near Baker call them. If you are lucky you will get Alonso. read more

We called Oscar after our car got stuck in the Mojave National Preserve. He came immediately, had all the necessary equipment to tow the car back to the road, and was highly professional. I highly recommend him. read more
