Jimmy is fantastic! My 2016 Honda Civic has issues turning on it's emergency break automatically, all my sensors were flashing and my car stalled. After I called in for dispatch, Jimmy called letting me know he was 5 minutes away. He was able to get my car started (magic fingers) but he didn't make me feel embarrassed, saw my concerns (I showed him a video of my car's glitches) and supported me to take a further look at my car. Great service! Hopefully my shop will figure out what's going on with my car, but now I know I have Unique Towing that I can call for the future. read more

My car broke down in March and the shop I use recommended Unique towing. They were great both in terms of getting a flatbed out to my location in short order and charging what I felt was an low price to transport my car to the shop. I was very happy. However, the second time I used them was an awful experience. I called on Friday, 7/14 to have my car transported from San Jose to a car show Burlingame on Sunday morning, 7am. The woman I spoke with said they don't make appointments. Instead, I needed to call back Sunday morning. I explained the situation in that this was for a car show and I'm not comfortable with waiting until the last minute due to the fact Unique Towing may not be able to do the job at that point. She put me on hold again and talked to the owner (or her manager, I don't remember). Finally when she returned, she said I should call Saturday night and see if I can set it up. Given that it was so early Sunday morning, she thought that would be my best bet. So that's what I did ... I called at 11pm Saturday eve. The guy who answered said they don't do appointments. So I explained the situation. Then he put me on hold for five minutes. After returning, he said I'd have to call back in the morning. GRRR. So I explained the situation again and how that makes for a dicey situation. He put me on hold for another five minutes, then when he finally came back he said a delivery to Burlingame was OUTSIDE THEIR SERVICE AREA. I just about lost it, but remained sane and communicative, stating this did not come up on the first call. Once again, the guy puts me on hold for another 5 minutes while he calls the driver to discuss. Then he comes back and says "OK, we can do it, but it will cost you $450". I wasn't rude nor did I give him a piece of my mind, but I was beyond words. Instead, I said thank you and good bye. I guess I can understand how Unique Towing won't accept appointments, especially given how flaky people can be. Of course, they can always request a non-refundable deposit or whatever. Still, that's OK. But to lead me on by telling me to call Saturday night ... only to then say they don't service that area ... and to follow that up with an OUTRAGEOUS price, I have to say I feel like these folks don't run a very good ship and even seem borderline dishonest. read more

They are really good and reliable. They will arrive on-time what they mentioned ETA. Like the service.

The only reason they get 2 stars is the drivers who released our car was nice, other than that they are horrible. The girl who answered the phone was rude, wouldn't answer simple questions, and replies with an attitude like she doesn't like working. The prices are disgustingly high, for a car towed and stored for less than a day it was nearly 500, these guys are basically thieves, they hole you car hostage and can charge whatever the hell they want cause they already have your car. read more

I drove through a huge construction pothole on my way to work which damaged my tire to the point where it was unsafe for me to continue driving on it. My husband told me we had roadside assistance through our Geico Insurance. They made it super easy and Unique Towing was called and was there much before their estimated time of arrival, which I would have appreciated if I wasn't already at work and not waiting on the side of the road. The tire was changed quickly and effectively, and he gave me some suggestions, because my spare tire seems a little bit low. Thank you for helping! read more

My insurance company sent Unique Towing out to help me with a car lock out. Jon Ray came out and popped the lock out within a few minutes. He went above and beyond to also spend a little more time to help me get the key out of the ignition. Not to put down tow truck drivers but the experiences I've had in the past did not compare to his friendliness, helpfulness and knowledge. Very much appreciated. read more

Jimmy helped me this morning and went above and beyond in resolving it with his available tool set. 10/10 will recommend this business again. read more

The best service by Julio! My car had a flat and Geico roadside initially said 30-45mins for arrival but once I was matched up with Unique Towing, a dispatcher called me within minutes of activating assistance with Geico and Julio was there within 5-10 mins. He was so quick with the flat, suepr professional, we had a nice conversation, just a good guy all around. Highly recommend Unique Towing!! read more

Brad was quick and very helpful when I had a flat. He called to let me know when he was five minutes away and swiftly took care of the problem. Thank you! read more

Insurance said wait an hour for a tow Not the best news when you are in a hurry. Five minutes later nick shows up and loads the car up faster than I can say hello Very careful and LOW CAR FRIENDLY just saved the number this is my favorite tow read more

My car wouldn't start so I had to tow my car to an Auto Shop. My insurance connected me with Unique Towing. The tow truck driver was Jimmy. He arrived earlier than the estimated time. He went out of his way to try to jump start my car, which he didn't need to. We eventually had to tow it to the shop because of the starter is bad. It was really nice of him to allow me to ride along so I wouldn't need to get my own Uber. A side note, my car broke down at Safeway supermarket and I observed that Jimmy found someone's wallet. He returned it to the store's Lost and Found hoping that the owner would eventually find it. Overall, Jimmy provided terrific professional service. He is trustworthy, friendly and very accommodating. If I'm stranded with my car, I would definitely look for towing service from Jimmy. I truly wish honest working people like him would get more business. read more

Be prepare for a rude women answering the phone in this company. She has no patience at all, kept interrupting customers. She should get some training before she took this job. Or she needs to change and never answering customers calls. Check on the reviews on Google. They are lying and very unprofessional. read more

Spoke on the phone about towing a food truck off my private property. The receptionist was so quick to assume that she couldn't help me and would not explore options. I tried to suggest options for ways that I could use their services and she then asked me my location and I told her where I was located. She said "oh I dont even think we go that far." She wasn't even sure and just wanted to get me off the phone. I highly suggest you try and help the people calling instead of jumping to conclusions. You are losing business this way. read more

Jimmy from Unique Towing was wonderful. Swift, courteous, friendly and super helpful with even going out of his way and working things out with Tesla. Highly recommended. read more

Sorry for the late review...I had to be towed on 10/16/2020 and I can't say enough about the service. Not only did the tow truck get to me quickly, but the driver Jeff was amazing. He professional, courteous and made sure that I was on my way safely after my car finally started up. His truck was clean both inside and out, which shows me the company pays close attention to detail. Thanks again so much...A++ all around!! Jen O. read more

I hate fitting the stereotype, but I know little to nothing about my car. I didn't even know how to pop the hood open. Thank you Unique Tow for saving me tonight! Special shoutout to Henry who was the one who helped assist me in jump starting my car! Especially for not shaming me on my lack of common car knowledge. You're awesome! I really appreciate you and the company. The service arrived before the ETA which was amazing! Thanks again! read more

After a crazy unexpected night of Auto mechanical failure. The staff of Unique towing made the experience a lot less stressful. Al our driver was so patient, hardworking and peasant under the hard situtation he was faced with. Not only did he get our damaged truck home, he also gave us info we needed to ensure the truck was able to be transported for repair services. I cannot say how much we appreciated his work last Saturday night. Today Monday we opted for using Unique towing again because of the excellent customer service. Our driver Richie ( Ricky?) today was just as pleasant, efficient and provided excellent customer service. I high recommend this team if you so should need them. The have made a loyal customer on our part. Thanks again to the Team. read more

Having car trouble is always a headache. The guys at unique towing make it less stressful every time. They've towed me 3 times in the past 6 weeks and I couldn't be more grateful for them. Shout out to Jimmy for hooking up my BMW in a difficult spot. Super patient, and made sure I was comfortable in his truck while he was out in the rain finishing up with the tie-downs. Awesome job Unique!! read more

Thanks for towing I appreciate it. Driver was nice and courteous :) it was hassle free. Kind of pricey but I don't know it was my first time. It was like 200 to go from Sunnyvale to downtown SJ. I don't know if that's pricey but it worked lol read more

Contacted GIECO for roadside assistance and they submitted towing assistance to this company. We were parked on level 3 of a multi level parking garage and were mostly sure that our car battery had died. We needed a jump start assistance. So we waited for 45 mins. The tow truck came, and could not enter the parking lot maybe because of clearance. We went down to look for the truck. We could not contact the driver directly, but were in contact with their office agent. Agent told us to stop at a landmark, when we reached there the truck just didn't stop and left us stranded. We contacted GIECO again and the request was submitted to this same company again. I especially called their office this time to mention the mix up with the tow truck. Waited another 45 mins to only to realize the owner of the towing company had cancelled GIECOs request in a minute of its receipt. When I called them, they said GIECO cancelled the request! I don't know which one is true but to think that they would have to courtesy to inform us when we were contacting them multiple times was probably too much! I understand that partly it's GIECOs part too to coordinate. But all we needed was jump start assistance. We had to go to some store and get the jumper cables ourselves and get ourselves out after 3 hours of wait. Horrible service from both towing company and insurance company. read more

Jonathon, driver #106, did a fantastic job towing my frame to the shop. No other towing company wanted to touch a frame with only the rear wheels mounted. Unique Towing took on this job, and were extremely careful with the frame and the response time was great; took special precautions to ensure the brake lines were properly protected. Overall, a fantastic experience. Will definitely use Unique Towing again. Thank you! read more

Second time we've used Unique Towing and both times had a terrific experience! Today Dan (Daniel) came out for our old (ummmm classic project lol!?!) camper van.

Both times they have been very friendly.....plus a time before for just a quote/information. read more

I said I'm gonna leave these guys a great review after the fantastic service they've done for me so long ago, and all this time I didn't give them the great review that they deserved, but finally I'm here to write my very first yelp review lol. I definitely had some hard to deal issue last year when I traveled overseas and left my car at my apt parking without giving anyone the car keys. Then conveniently the damn apartment decides they are gonna rebuild their parking lot during this short time while I'm absent. And unless I can move my car somewhere else, they are just gonna tow my car away. SO I was pretty desperate, trying to contact every towing company I can find here from a different country. And they are the guys who helped me eventually. I know this is a sticky situation, but Dave was very patient and in the end the issue is resolved nicely. So I really recommend them! Sorry for not leaving this review sooner, and I hope you guys have a wonderful business!! read more

Brad was fantastic! Helpful, quick and super nice! Thank you so much. He came to tow the car because the battery was super dead but was able to jumpstart it so I was able to drive it to the auto shop! read more

I was told by a girl on the phone that they would be able to tow my non working non registered car I just needed the keys. She said she got her managers approval. I asked if she would be working still in an hour to ensure that there were no issues. So I went all the way home to get the keys, chancing the non operating car get towed again. I called when I returned to the location and the rude woman on the phone said it wouldn't be possible and I told her I just spoke with someone who said the manager approved it. She rudely snapped back "I'm the supervisor and we can't help u. They need people answering the phone that aren't rude. read more

Top notch service. My POS BMW broke down and I needed a tow. Called Geico and Unique Towing was called in. Within 15 mins Jared arrived and provided the tow. Definitely recommend this service. read more

Great experience with this company. My car battery died and Dexter had it going within 40 minutes of my call. Also: it was pouring rain and he told me to wait in a covered dry area while he was fixing my car and basically getting drenched. All of that with a smile, and luckily the service is included in my insurance so that's a bonus! Would definitely call them in the future if needed. read more

Ran into battery trouble with my car. I called up my insurance and they forwarded the request along to Unique Towing. Soon, Phil from Unique Towing came over to where my car was parked and jump started the car. He also took a look at the battery and advised me to get it checked. Great, friendly guy and did a thorough job. Excellent service, I'd definitely recommend them for towing or servicing! read more

I needed to move a disabled car to my mechanic for a client. They scheduled the pickup within 1 hour from my call, were on time and the driver was nice. The job was done quickly and the tow wasn't expensive. I picked them because of the Yelp reviews and it helped that Yelp friends I trust (like Tram T.) had also used their services. No one likes to have to call a tow truck, but Unique towing made it as pleasant as it could be. read more
