West coast auto & towing is the place to go for very skilled, knowledgeable & very respectful service! I had issues with my car for awhile , just couldn't quite fix it our selfs ( is the newer diesel technology in it) we were referred by my mother in law , who happened to know the owner from her college days and spoke highly of him. We called made an appointment, was able to drop the car off days prior to the appointment in case they could to it sooner ( since it had to be trailed ) very nice front desk guy upon drop off! Within 2 days we got a call, they had it fixed, and they wanted to drive it some more so they felt 100% it was going home perfect! Long story short, when picking up car , very nice gentleman at the front desk ( different one from before). I'm so beyond thankful for a shop and crew that is confident in their work! They are very fair with their prices to their customers, for the price we paid to fix my car I would have paid that over and over again! And Trust me I've had my fair share of bad shop experiences and mechanics/ businesses that really don't care about your vehicle and just want the money ... but this shop is 100% at your best interest! They gained a customer who will keep coming back in the future & will continue to spread the word of the amazing standard this shop holds read more

Quick and professional services. Always bring my vehicles here for a smog checks that are done quickly and at a reasonable price.

West Coast not only towed my car on AAA, but they correctly spent time diagnosing the issue (internal Transmission issues), at no cost to me! They kept the car for me till I was able to find a mechanic to fix Arno charge. Excellent Customer Service! read more

RJ was incredible! He arrived sooner than quoted, and his positive, can-do attitude made a stressful situation so much easier. None of the chargers in Cambria would charge my Ioniq 5, and I was down to just 1% battery. West Coast Auto & Towing sent a flatbed to take it to SLO. RJ knew exactly where to take my car to get it charging. With the battery that low, I assumed I'd need to go straight to the Hyundai dealership, but RJ suggested trying a charge first--and it worked! What a relief. RJ truly went above and beyond, and I couldn't be more grateful for his help. read more

Trash service. Took truck in for oil pressure switch repair and when we got it back the passenger side mirror was smashed and the front fender was crunched. The paint was scratched and the rim was scuffed. When we brought it to their attention they said it came in like that. They said if we want we can come in next Monday to talk to the manager and when we came in he wasn't there. So that really wasted our time. We tried calling and leaving emails but they never got back to us so clearly they just didn't want to deal with us. They also decided to wash the truck without letting us know which damaged the fresh tint and fucked it up. On top of this, the bolt on the tire they changed out was completely stripped and had to be replaced. Absolutely do not send your vehicle here. If you do, make sure you document the state of your truck through photos and videos before sending it to this place. This way you can take them to small claims so they stop doing this shit to people. Really felt screwed over by these guys, really crappy way to treat customers. read more

Horrible value, I got quoted 300$+ for an EGR valve with 400$ of labor costs along with it. I was able to find the part for a little over 100$ did the install myself and it was super simple, it was 4 bolts on the top of the engine and a gasket. Took me 30 minutes, West Coast techs said it was a 2hr job. Stay away, they're looking to cash in on folks who don't know better. My SUV is back up and running no thanks to West Coast. read more

David's customer service is impeccable. I have taken two cars in recently for smog checks, it was fast, easy, and affordable.

Oil change was fast and affordable. Wonderful customer service. I will most definitely be back for any future car needs. Thank you so much!

I had an outstanding experience with West Coast Tow today with Ryan answering the phone and Elijah as the tow truck driver. Elijah arrived extremely quick and handled everything with professionalism and efficiency. The team gave me a very reasonable quote upfront, with no surprises, and the entire process was smooth and stress-free after a very stressful event. It's rare to find such reliable and courteous service these days, and West Coast Tow truly went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of towing--fast, friendly, and professional from start to finish! Please let Elijahs supervisor know that they have a great worker on their team! read more

Trash mechanics! I came here for breaks. They claimed I needed all new rotors and pads less than two years ago. Two months later my breaks were shaking going down the grade (which I rarely drive). Go back, ask for Toyota parts to be installed to replace the cheap china parts. They instead used up my warranty and replaced with the same trash parts as they are now shaking again and need to be replaced. Less than two years later!!!! Don't go here. They used horrible quality parts. read more

Absolutely the best! We called AAA and they sent out Tyler to change our trailer tire. He changed it right away, had the equipment he needed, and was friendly and helpful. We will use this service any time we are in the neighborhood. Thank you, Tyler read more

This team is always fast and helpful. I've gone here for my last few oil changes, as well as odd- needs for brakes and tires.

RJ from West Coast towing truly helped us out when our campervan broke down during a road trip. And we had our dog with us! We ended up needing a tow twice to get to the right mechanic. RJ (and Mark) were so kind & helpful during the process. I called RJ multiple times as I figured out what I needed to do in unfamiliar surroundings & he was calm (as I panicked) and he offered suggestions. I used AAA & was lucky that West Coast Towing was the company that came out the first time. They were so great that I specifically requested them for our 2nd tow. I highly recommend this company if you are ever in their area with the unfortunate circumstance of needing a tow. They truly are heroes to me. read more

AJ was awesome- incredibly calm & patient throughout the situation. My friend's car broke down on 101, en route to Bay Area. AAA was not extremely helpful, but AJ beared with us & towed car all the way to Salinas. Helped considerably ! read more

West Coast has a large and loyal customer base because, not only are they reasonably priced, they do good work. They did a great job getting us in and out quickly for a smog check. Liked their service so brought our car back in for an oil change and diagnostic, too. Both services came in lower than their initial cost estimates. Gotta like that. The engine diagnostic confirmed what we thought might be going on, so we asked them for a cost estimate on what would be a major repair. Had to follow up with them a few times, but they finally got the estimate to us, which was significantly lower than what we'd been quoted elsewhere. read more

West Coast Auto & Towing - Next in line at this busy but highly-recommended shop. - Towing Near Me - Atascadero, California

Quick, efficient , courteous. They go the extra mile. Great business, especially Fernando.

First experience for this place was a smog which went smoothly as it should have. The second was to get a component for my engine replaced. What was supposed to take 1.5 days ended up taking 3, with very little communication from them- I had to call MULTIPLE times for an update. And every time I did call the put me on hold immediately for 10-15 minutes! A week later I went to do an oil change and realized the cover they removed was missing. Then the part they replaced was faulty so I had to call multiple more times to get it swapped out. Overall a terrible experience with these guys. Someone needs to coach them on customer service because it's lacking. read more

Fast and easy! Called them up today and scheduled an appointment. They had an opening after lunch. Walked in and was greeted when I came through the door. Less than 30 minutes later, I was out the door and car was smogged. Fast and friendly customer service. I would recommend them to anybody for smog. read more

Had to make call back to get credit card adjustment because they hadn't given me the coupon price.

I am very sad to write this but I feel that this is an interest of public concern and I hate to think of anyone else going through what my family is now going through. On September 4, 2024, my son and I tried to take my beloved Special Edition 2012 Porsche Boxster S Black Edition out ( it is number 179 out of a limited run of 987 made). This was my dream car that my husband and my dad got together to get for me over 10 years ago. Due to what we assumed was a battery issue I called AAA. AAA sent West Coast towing. The young man was pleasant, hooked it up, got in my car, turned it over, took his foot off the clutch while inside the vehicle, put it down in a ditch and back up. My son and I watched horrified. The young man admitted he didn't have much experience with a manual transmission after the accident. The second driver that came out was extremely helpful and apologetic. We were assured the vehicle would be made good as new. Any work performed on the car has always been in Kern County. I specifically wanted my car to be assessed and worked on in Kern County. However, the deductible for the tow company was high ($15,000) and they requested it go to a reputable shop with which they had a relationship, since the tow company was going to be out of pocket instead of filing a claim. The car had been left in my garage overnight so we could decide where we wanted it to go. Because I desperately wanted my car fixed I reluctantly agreed to have it go to the shop they recommended. When my car was moved from the spot it sat in overnight (in my garage) there was a large pool of fluid under it which had NEVER happened before. For what seemed to me as a mechanical issue I would not agree for it to go anywhere but a certified Porche mechanic. (This car is serviced at Porche of Bakersfield.) At which point they did decide to turn it in to their insurance. The Porsche dealership in SLO said the repair required is $13,000-$15,000 which the tow company's insurance denied claim coverage for the leak without inspecting where the accident occurred and after the body was started. It is now nearly Christmas and the paint work is not done properly and we are working on transporting my car to Bakersfield to take it to the Porsche dealership where it has always been worked on. They have admitted liability for the accident but do not want to fix the leak which only appeared after an accident their driver caused. I just felt like I needed to share my experience. Calling for a battery issue has turned into a complete nightmare! read more

I come here for my oil changes, smog checks, etc. I've never had an issue with the guys here. Their prices are fair, they can always get me in in a timely manner and my car seems to run great without issue. I appreciate their honesty and value. Have not needed their towing service (THANKFULLY), so I can't speak to that, but for any other services they've been great! read more

Quick and fast service! Very helpful with the process during AAA's phone outage. Highly recommend!

These guys are great. Super quick, thorough and incredibly kind. Definitely coming back.

These guys are great. I have been having my car serviced here for at least 10 years. I really trust them--they don't try to sell you services your car doesn't need. Excellent prices compared to other chain service centers. AAA discount is nice. I am a life-long car enthusiast and know more about cars than most men. I know a good auto repair/service shop when I see one. :) As a bonus, I walk to Guest House Grill a few blocks away and enjoy lunch while my car is serviced. read more

Had to call AAA because my car wouldn't start and RJ was here in 20 minutes and had my car started right away. very nice young man.

Great service, lightning fast clean facility customer service oriented and with conduct businesses with the company again! AAA+++

Incredible. We had an amazing experience. Jimmy helped us , and Luke also made us comfortable when we felt out of place due to being far away from home. If you are around and near this shop. Please bring your car here for service. When we initially got there I was handed an estimate of $160.00. After they inspected my wife's car, Volkswagen Tiguan. Jimmy came back out informed me of this issue with my wife's suv and took care of everything free of charge and informed me of what to do once back home as far as further service for my wife's vehicle. The best service, incredible people working and running this shop. God bless you guys for all the help in our time of need. read more

Gentleman at the front was very nice, got me in for a smog that day after I called around and couldn't get into for over a week!

Highly recommend them! read more
