Western Towing - called them 1 hr ago, still not here, slowest mf in san dieo - Towing Near Me - San Diego, California

worst towing they try to charge you the most they can ,takes cars from the parking lot

Absolutely rude employees smiling and thinking things are funny while my fathers only car is locked up, racking up charges everyday. A rude and absolutely ugly lady with horribly drawn on fake eyebrows was rude and didn't help one bit. Thought it was funny to see my family stressing on what to do next. Offered no help and even went out of the way to make it impossible for me to help my father. Saying no third party can pay, only the vehicle owner. Pathetic, horrible, piece of crap establishment. Won't work with you AT ALL!!!! Hope they get what's coming. read more

My vehicle was towed from my residential complex despite being in compliance with the lease requirement that vehicles be moved every seven days. My car was cited and later towed after being parked in multiple locations, confirming that the vehicle was being actively moved. At the time of the tow, the vehicle had been parked in its most recent location for only two days. Prior to the tow, I contacted the towing company directly to express concerns about receiving tow warnings even though my vehicle was being moved within the required timeframe. I did not receive assistance or clarification at that time. Based on the pattern of repeated warnings and the tow across different parking locations, enforcement appeared to rely on the presence of prior warning stickers or vehicle recognition rather than a verification of a current parking violation. The tow paperwork also classified my vehicle as "non-operational" despite the fact that it was being driven regularly and cited in different locations over time. After the tow, when I contacted my leasing office, the staff member was unable to locate a record of the tow in their system. I had to call the towing company myself to confirm my vehicle was there. This raised questions about authorization and documentation. When I requested documentation from the towing company, the tow authorization relied on a "first observed" date that did not account for the vehicle's movement or the multiple parking locations involved. After I escalated and questioned the legality of the tow, all towing and storage fees were waived, confirming that the tow could not be supported. I still had to take time off work resulting in lost wages and had to pay for an Uber to the the location to retrieve my vehicle after their bad faith and negligent tow. I'm leaving this review to note concerns about verification, documentation accuracy and enforcement practices. I would strongly recommend that anyone dealing with this company request and carefully review the tow authorization and supporting documentation prior to signing or paying. read more

These people are scumbags. There's some lady Denise who wouldn't even return a phone call after I left at least 4 messages over 2 weeks. In fact no one bothered to call me. And long time ago they damaged my car and some assclown there refused to pay for it so I ordered flat beds over n over from my burner phones jsut to waste their time. Not to mention getting the vendors i know who contract w them to cancel and use a different more reputable company read more

Any company who whores themselvs out to pathetic HOA's for towing cars are the lowest of the low and charging 2 days storage for less than 24hrs is deplorable. Also service horable. read more

This towing company is insane , they towed my car at the housing authority housing complex in Linda Vista, San Diego. I parked close to my mother in law's house to load some bags for 30 min after 5pm. They have towed my car & charge me & 500 for just 30min in the compound. These are people are making easy money making others in trouble. This is not right, to steal others money legally. They should give a warning & give reasonable price for their towing service. read more

Frustrating evening... I went to USPS in Coronado around 4:15pm today, and around 4:45pm my car got towed from the USPS parking lot. I parked next to a big Ford F150 - that had apparently had been there since 10am. Someone in the post office called Westen Towing to tow the truck, and the idiot driver mistook my 4 door sedan for a Ford F150 truck! #WTF Both USPS & the tow company admitted that the wrong car was towed, and I would not have to pay to get my car... however they forgot to tell the cashier! Western Towing wanted me to pay $440... ughhhh! Will try again in the morning to see if anyone will keep their word. read more

I was at western towing this evening I waited for over one hour asked him to use their restroom, and they rudely told me: "there's no public restrooms." Even though I was a client. This was at the 92058 location in oceanside but I couldn't find a yelp for that location. They treated me like an animal, they were mean, rude, and I was charged $475 for my car which was towed an hour before hand. read more

Western Towing - The place my car was towed to. - Towing Near Me - San Diego, California

Dangerous, Unprofessional & Intimidating Experience I recently had an extremely disturbing experience with a driver from Western Towing in Oceanside driver name is ROBERT. In my personal opinion, this was the most unprofessional and reckless tow operator I've ever encountered. The driver was aggressive, hostile, and verbally abusive, even cursing at me and calling me names when I questioned what he was doing. The way he spoke to me as a woman and homeowner was unbelievably disrespectful. Worst of all, he attempted to tow a vehicle while my friend was still inside the car and another person was underneath working on it. The level of danger and carelessness was shocking -- someone could have been seriously hurt. His behavior escalated to the point where he made intimidating gestures, throwing up gang signs at us & acted like he was trying to start a fight with my friends, and tried to pressure and threaten us by saying I could "get kicked out of my house" if I didn't admit fault and allow the tow. It felt like pure intimidation and abuse of authority. Because of how reckless and threatening the situation felt, the police were called. When officers arrived and saw what was happening, they ordered him to put the car down immediately. That alone tells you everything you need to know about how out-of-line this situation was. This was hands-down the most unprofessional, unsafe, and hostile experience I've ever had with any service provider. I strongly hope this company reviews who they hire and trains their staff properly -- because what I witnessed was completely unacceptable and dangerous. read more

This company towed a vehicle that had been re-parked in the same place and belonged to a disabled woman. Not only that, we have a note with the office so if the tow truck checks in, they know she is disabled and can not regularly move her vehicle. This clearly did not happen. As a result, they made off with her vehicle and most importantly, her wheelchair. She was on her way to an appointment when she found out and had to be taken to the appointment without the chair. Beware. They make cars with chalk so check yours each time you go and wipe it off because they will 100% tow you even if you move the car to meet quota. read more

I was nervous about having to deal with this location after reading the reviews. My car was towed 8/6/25 obviously. We got to this location about 8:30 PM. Walked right up. The young man behind the window was extremely nice. I wanted to take a picture of my car. He walked me to the back allowed me to take a picture. go back up front I paid and got my car back. I wish I got his name, but he was extremely helpful. We have to remember they're just doing their job. I thought I'd come here and put this review because they have horrible reviews and I had a very pleasant experience considering. read more

No where to idle or park while customers are waiting for their car. Tow drivers glare at me while I sit and smile back. Unprofessional use of language. Sheesh, shall I go on? Knowing we messed up where we parked and taking full responsibility still doesn't stop them from being rude. Honest lesson learned. Not angry, having a calm demeanor and just want to pay our fine and go back home They made me feel unsafe. Please improve on this for future customers. read more

Whenever you see them make sure to tell them to go fuxk them selfs, just stupid how much they charge you to get your car out from the lot that's been there for a hour, charged me 450$ for my car that was in the lot for an hour, all I got to say is they are a tow company that is trash!!. THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN OUT OF BUSINESS. read more

We parked at a an apartment complex as we were visiting a friend that lives there. In 2 hours they towed our vehicle and ruthlessly charged us $580. Complete thieves. read more

Towed my car not in a reserved spot. Said I can take them to court they would not acknowledge the error

Sleazy ass company. They send their own employees out to places to monitor how long cars have been parked to get them towed. My friends car got towed from an apartment complex on a Sunday night at dinner time just to make money when they were barely over the allowed time. They can charge an arm and a leg so it was $475 when the car had only been at the lot for 10 minutes. There was plenty of parking and no residents had made any complaints, just greedy assholes read more

So my story with western towing is my car was parked in the wrong spot of a parking lot. They towed it. So I went to retrieve it but the short Hispanic girl, was just rude. It felt like she was a instigator. She asked me if something was correct on the screen so I put a foot in the little hut to see, and she was like don't step in the hut. It's like your already charging me 375 dollars for a 30 minute job. The least you can do is be nice. The older white guy was friendlier. People don't like tow companies, I use to think the reputation was undeserving. If you park in the wrong place you deserve to get towed. But now I realized people don't like towing companies because they extort you. 375 dollars for a 30 minute maybe 1 hour tops job. Like really, very shady. They honestly need stricter regulation. read more

Watched a driver take a car, not secure it properly drive a block away and then secure it in the middle of clairemont blvd. I've seen this company before very predatory, looks like he didn't want to risk the owner seeing his car get towed so tried to leave the area as fast as possible. They are rude and careless so I advise calling the cops on them if you see them in your area. They are equivalent to thieves. read more

Idiots pure stupidity of people can't answer a simple question what time they're available till I'm able to pick up my vehicle over the phone without leaving me on hold for 10 min. No customer care at all they shouldn't be in the industry. NEVER GET A SERVICE FROM THEM read more

I had my car towed while visiting a friend at her apartment complex. When i went to go pick it up I noticed scratches and scrapes with white paint on my driver side door and mirror! There was also a big clean spot where they tried to wipe it off. Had I not checked my vehicle before driving away I would've been stuck paying out of pocket for the damages. There is no accountability or responsibility for anything on their part. I find that very shady and deceptive especially for a business. The whole experience has been absolutely ridiculous. All i can say is CHECK YOUR VEHICLE BEFORE YOU LEAVE THEIR LOT. I would not recommend them to anyone. read more

Solid at what they do when it comes to towing a vehicle however they are super hard to reach over the phone. This is across 4 seperate occasions. I'm assuming there's only one person working at a time and phones are answered when available. Left a few voicemails with no calls returned. Communication was tough with this one. read more

10/10 would have my car towed again by this company. Absolute joy and pleasure to work with. This is the best thing to happen to me this week! Thank you for the kind, compassionate workers that dedicate their lives to spreading joy into the lives of others. Would I pay $300 again to get my car out? Absolutely. Unfortunately there was no discount for being a really nice person. Thank you guys so much! read more

Front desk, terrible attitude.. customer service is terrible and I paid over $450 for less than 48hr towed. Ridiculous

The woman who works in the office of this towing company is the most rude person you can find. She is intimidated and treats very poorly. No need to be impolite when you are dealing with this the situation with courtesy.....My car was towed in my own complex because the Parking permit was not visible... even the Complex has the license numbers of our cars... I lost $340 and on top of that I have to deal with a rude and mean office worker... read more

I am all for people facing repercussions if they do not follow the rules. However, this company is a predatory towing scam. We saw multiple spotters scavenging the shopping plaza in several locations. They are like vultures watching your every move. They "patrol" or "satellite" their victims and tip tow truck drivers. This is unethical and illegal. However, this company tries to trick the system by having "Parking Enforcement Employees", which is just a BS fancy title for the illegal spotters. I made sure to get to their facility ASAP to avoid any additional unreasonable fees. I arrived at the towing company 10 minutes after they took my car. I have the time stamps of my Uber ride and the alarm on my car app when they took my vehicle. They gave me a bill of $390.00. When I asked for the breakdown of this atrocious charge, they told me there is a $60.00/day fee for "storage". I told them there was no "storage". My car wasn't even on their facility for more than 10 minutes. They argued back saying when a vehicle touches their property, it is automatically considered "storage". Unbelievable. They really try to squeeze out every cent they can out of their victims' wallets. They charged me another $100.00 for an "after hours release fee". How does that make any sense? You guys supposedly close at 5 PM, but are all here "working after hours" in the middle of the night. Of course it would make sense to charge a $100.00 after hours fee for every vehicle you find. I bet there are more employees working "after hours" than during "open" hours. I saw 6-7 of your employees working diligently in the middle of the night to get their share of the extra profit. If your company followed the rules, then I wouldn't complain. However, as witnessed and experienced by the other victims on here, it is obvious that your scam company uses shady techniques to profit as much as possible. To the employees working here: I know you guys are trying to make a living, but does it really feel ethical to work for a company like this? You guys can earn a living elsewhere without having to scam people. Just a thought. read more

Western Towing - Illegal spotters under a BS title of "Parking Enforcement Employees" - Towing Near Me - San Diego, California

Scam artists. My car was towed when it shouldn't have been (separate conversation with my property management, unrelated to Western Towing). The total on the phone was $270 + 1 day storage ($70). What they don't tell you is that the second it "hits the lot," it's considered "one day storage." I asked the attendant there how one could pay just $270, and she says that never happens. So change the damn cost to $340. This is a business that profits off of negligence, miscommunications, mistakes, etc. Be transparent about your pricing, you make money to move a car from point A to point B. read more

Worst service, unfortunately you don't have a choice but to do business once they have your car lol

This tow company is really petty. My car was towed due to not having a damn residential sticker at my friends house..ok cool, but when i go pick up my car 4 more ppl line up behind me and we start sharing stories. The reason they are out here towing ppl car is just unbelievable. And as we are all standing around they pull up and towed a pool workers work truck!! Like come on now. Basically its the end of the month and yall were slacking the whole august. It took forever for service. They tried to scam us on a 2 day hold when it was only 24 hrs. On top of that the man was rude!! Just wow!! read more

SCAMMERS! My car was towed and none of my neighbors called so I am assuming they just went around looking for cars to take. Fine, whatever. When I got there, they said that my car was damaged and they needed to keep it. Turns out they were just trying to get me to take a rental car without signing any papers so that they could charge me for damages on that. Luckily I read these reviews and realized they are scammers and demanded my car back and then they couldn't tell me what was wrong with it. I took it to a different collision shop, and they said that there was nothing wrong with it. They were all incredibly rude and demanding especially the Hispanic lady whose name starts with an I. Issa? Isla? Beware! Do not take one of their rental cars! If they say your car is damaged, ask what is wrong with it. Likely they will say they aren't sure which makes no sense. read more

Had car towed, and when I got it back, there was damage on the passenger side. Entire length of the back door and on the aft panel was a quarter size hole in the sheet metal with a 12" gouge that followed. If there was a 0 rating, that's what they'd get. read more
