Arranged for a tow a couple of days ahead of time and all went smoothly. Price seemed reasonable, driver Charlie was friendly and competent. Car was delivered for repair without any hassle. Would use again! read more

Edit: Changing my review to 1 star. Owner is now posting my personal address and license plate as they are unhappy with my review. Reported to Yelp for privacy violations. We reached out to this business with this exact quote: 'Non emergency car tow, anytime within the next few days. About 9 miles within San Francisco. How much for rear wheel towing vs. flat bed. It's from one apt garage to another apt garage, the space is tight for both places'. The good: - The tow truck drivers were right on time for their appointment. - They managed to get our car out of the tight spot (although they had to push it) - Workers were friendly and tried to accommodate us the best they could The bad: - We were charged an additional $75 by the owner for 'additional labor required'. This was because the tow trucks could not get into either garage, and the workers had to push the car out/in to both garages. This was despite the fact that we provided the information on our quote request that it was one SF apartment garage to another, and the spot was tight. We also provided the clearance of the garages the early afternoon before the tow. You would think that professionals in these services would know if their trucks would be able to go into a garage after being provided the clearance, and also that they would check to see what kind of garage it was before providing a quote if the price would change. - Before scheduling an appointment (after being provided the quote), we also confirmed with the owner that there would be 'no hidden fees'. He assured us that he 'don't do business like that'. We were then charged an additional fee of roughly ~30% of the quote price. - We reached out to the owner after being charged additional fees. His responses were full of inconsistencies and odd answers. For example: - He told us he assumed that the garage would be a straight in and out. This was despite us telling him it was to/from an apartment garage in SF and tight spots (assumedly NOT straight in and out), and explaining the garage layout to his employee. He also did not think to clarify before the tow. - He told us that his workers should have reached out to him when it was a more complicated tow and there would be extra fees. Despite acknowledging that it was an error on his drivers for not reaching out, he did not refund the fee. - He texted us requesting more information about the garage the day before. At essentially the same time, his employee (the truck driver) called us and we provided a detailed explanation of the garage situation. His worker failed to relay this information to the owner. The owner blamed us for this, explaining that we should have called him and told him as well, even after we had provided all the requested information to his employee. Summary: Overall, we felt like we went above and beyond to provide all the required information to get an accurate quote. After a series of blunders that appear to be issues with communication by his employees, we ended up having to pay additional hidden fees (roughly 30% of the original quote). We even tried to clarify the situation with the owner after the tow, but he seemed disinterested in providing a refund for the additional fee. This was even after he told us that his employees did not follow the established procedure. Overall this felt a little suspicious and like bad business practice. Even if there were some communication issues with his employees, we felt that the business owner should have honored his word and refunded the fee after. Even with all information we provided and despite our protest, they stood firm on their price. read more

Easy quote on yelp and fast reply! He showed up on time and brought my Vespa across the bay for the price quoted. Much appreciated! read more

Have called them twice in the last few years for dead cars parked in tight spaces. Techs were creative and helpful and solved problems in both cases. They also communicated really well with me when, once, the shop where a car was being delivered for repair threw a wrench in our plans. Overall I recommend them. read more

My car literally exploded on the freeway while I was driving to work and I was so scared. I thought it was going to catch on fire but it didn't. I didn't have my insurance card with me and had trouble logging into Progressive's website to call the agents. Decided to reach out to Wilmar's on Yelp and he was so quick and nice to me. He even called the CHP to help get my car off the freeway but CHP was unable to push my car because it couldn't go to neutral. Wilmar was able to get my car towed from SF all the way back to Oakland. He literally showed up in less than 40 mins. Better price than other tow truck companies. They were such a life saver, I wouldn't even know what to do without them. I was also able to show up to work with only being 45 mins late. read more

Highly recommended!! Very Responsive, professional, very kind person and reasonable price. read more

Not sure how a tow truck driver who doesn't want to get out of his truck is supposed to tow a car but ok ! HIGHLY WONT RECOMMEND!

Will was responsive, professional and had a lower cost. What else do you want? Thank you.

Very professional and responded really quick, didn't hesitate to call me to get more information along with pricing.

Wilmar is the man, came within 15 minutes and had great pricing as well. Highly recommended!

My VW Vanagon wouldn't start, and the steering wheel was locked after the ignition was vandalized. Also, it was parked between two cars, so couldn't be pulled out directly. They expertly slid the car sideways and up onto the flatbed. Pro job! read more

I love this place. I called Wilmar to tow our car that was badly rear-ended while parked in the street. When I told him it was a Prius, he said it's a front-wheel-drive car and I might be able to drive it myself. Sure enough, the car started and I was able to drive it off the street. No need for a tow at all. Thanks for the money-saving advice, Wilmar! read more

Highly recommended..! Our car was impacted by the San Francisco floods but we had the good fortune of working with Wilmar Towing to have our car towed safely and securely. Ask for "George" if you have an option. George was FANTASTIC and I can't say that about too many towing services from my experience. read more

I called them and they came within 30minutes. The guy was nice and everything was done well. They charged $125 cash from the mission to an auto shop called My Mechanic in SOMA (which referred me to them). read more

I'm glad I called Wilmar's when my car battery died and I needed a jump start. Within 20 minutes someone came out to help. Friendly, fast, and reliable service. Overall a positive experience! read more

I've used Wilmar a few times now. He's friendly and does a great job. He helped me move trailers that required a tow hitch. Just buffer extra time when booking him because traffic in SF is really bad. read more

Amazing, beyond the call of duty, service! After my car broke down in the heart of the mission, I started researching towing companies in the heart of San Francisco. Most numbers were out of service, and the ones that did answer were rude. Wilmar Towing Service was friendly, and extremely reasonable with their pricing. Not only that, when the truck arrived, the driver realized the issue was a simple fix and didn't need to take it to the shop, saving me $$$! An absolute stand up company and great service I recommend to anybody finding themselves in a similar bind. Thanks guys! read more

Wonderful experience! I never write reviews but downloaded Yelp just so I could give Wilmar a positive review. Our axle on our 4x6 enclosed trailer broke in the middle of an intersection. They arrived and got right to work and managed to cause no additional damage. They were fast, friendly and affordable. I would recommend this company to anyone. Thanks again guys! read more

We hit a pothole on the entrance ramp of 101 and Cesar Chavez, called for a tow at 1pm on a Monday, their location on Yelp is it's 1 mile, that is, 5 minutes away from where our car was stuck close to the next highway exit. They said they'll be there in 30 minutes. We waited in the blazing hot car, turned down help for CHP towing cuz they were suppose to be there, ran the car out of battery from the emergency lights, so we couldn't nudge off the highway exit. We called after 45 minutes, turned out they haven't left yet, then "on their way" for supposedly 25 minutes and didn't show up for another hour. It was getting so hot I had to choose between a heat stroke and walking on the side of the highway to find shade. Oh yeah did I mention that I was pregnant and we had to walk along the highway to get off and find shade before I pass out? Finally my husband called another company, and they showed up in 15 minutes. I tried to call these guys again to cancel and he said he was still on his way and wouldn't cancel. By then I just didn't have the yelling power to be mean enough on the phone to cancel, my husband took the phone out of my hand, told these guys we'd been waiting for 2.5 hours and we are done, fuck off. My husband is the sweetest person on Earth and I'd never ever seen him telling anybody off at the top of his lungs. That's a totally new level of pissed off I'd never seen before. Cheers to new shitty experiences. read more

Great personalized service. Wilmar's truck was in the shop but he helped me figure out what might be wrong with my battery and reached out to his network until he could find someone to help me get it out of the ticket zone before street sweeping. read more

Extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Did I ever expect to give a towing company 5 stars? Absolutely not. I just hope others can follow suit! read more

Excellent service! My boyfriend's car died in a San Francisco parking garage and due to the low clearance, his insurance company couldn't find any tow companies that were able to pick up the car. Unfortunately, because of this, we had to leave the car in the parking garage overnight. The next morning, after being told by the insurance company that they exhausted all their resources, We finally decided to yelp towing services on our own. Wilmar's Towing was the third towing service we contacted. Wil was extremely helpful and sympathetic to our situation and agreed to come and tow our car for us despite the low clearance in the parking garage. He arrived promptly and was very friendly. He got our car towed and dropped off quickly and with no issues. I would highly recommend Wilmar's! read more

Amaizing service,this guys are the best place don't go anywhere else.i call within 25 minutes Wilmar show up and find the problem (battery)fix it and charge me hella cheap amazing just amazing will call them any time I need something read more

If I could award 10 STARS, I would!! Wilmar is hands down the best. He was on time, polite, courteous, and incredibly efficient. He even asked if I wanted something to drink, and handed me a chilled Gatorade to quench my parched throat. It's rare to come across someone that is honest, sincere, and takes the high road (no pun intended). I have high standards, and I don't dole out "exemplary service" often, or casually. However, in Wilmar's case, it was the very least I could do. Thanks for being a lifesaver, and restoring my faith in humanity. read more

Call these people if you break down! They come quickly, are helpful above and beyond, and don't charge an arm and a leg. My battery was dead on a Saturday morning, and I called three well-reviewed services before calling Wilmar, all supposedly open on Saturday: NOT! You can't fake good service: these people are the real thing. read more

Wilmar is the nicest guy on the planet of towing! He came and tried to help me with my car to the max! I think 5 stars won't be enough, Yelp should modify the stars and should give us options up to 10 because I'm giving Wilmar 10 stars! He is super super good/nice person and very very helpful, patient and I can ran out of adjectives! Thank you endlessly Wilmar, I will recommend you to my family and friends for sure! May you be blessed with your kind heart!!! read more

Got a flat tire late at night. Kept calling around different 24/7 places. Stumbled upon this one here and I'm so glad I did! Other places will charge you 100+ but Wilmar price was perfect! Thanks so much for coming to the rescue & also for jump starting my car after I left the emergency lights on :(. Tip: do not leave your e lights on lol Wait time: 45 min (doesn't seem long at all when you go looking for an atm *cash only*) read more

I called wilmars tow and the guy who answer the phone was very polite and very helpful. when the tow truck driver showed up, he knew how to tow my bmw that i have it lowered 3 inches from the ground, no other tow company wanted to tow my bmw. tow driver was wilmar was very professional on towing my bmw onto the flat bed. i recommend this company for your lowered vehicles. wilmar thanks alot. read more

So grateful for Wilmars! The tow truck showed up early and it was covered by my roadside assistance to take my car 20 miles to my trusted mechanic. Compared to other towing companies who wanted an additional $10 per mile after 13 miles! Wilmar's driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. My car overheated and Javier the driver, figured it out because the cap to the radiator blew off. Not sure why, but happy it wasn't major...thanks Wilmar! read more

Wilma's towing is great, they came back for me 3 times and didn't charge me i had to force him to take my money as weird as it sounds. these guys are great and actually came at their ETA time compared to Sills towing which had me waiting for 3 hours. The owner answers his phone as is very funny, if your battery ever dies don't use diet coke to wash off the acid since it'll make your battery skinny LOL. Would call them again thanks again guys. read more

Wilmar is the bomb! He helped me better troubleshoot what was wrong with my car. Met up with me within 20 minutes and also got me to the service station before it closed. Basically savings my life. read more

These people have great prices compared to other complies I called. They were friendly on the phone when I called in for a quote. When the tow came, they are friendly as well and they treated the car like it was theirs. Highly recommend! read more

Our knight in a large yellow truck! On a rainy Sunday night, he was the only tow truck company willing to help tow our Honda! Plus he was reasonably priced, efficient & amusing. (Pro-tip - don't break down in SF on a Sunday night unless Wilmar is on speed dial & it helps if you are towing it to the mission - his home base!) read more

Great service. $95 for 2 mile towing. Highly recommended. The guy was friendly and came on time. I was anxious but he saved me. I called another towing company before but they even said they were not doing towing service although they advertise a lot. read more

Wilmer arrived earlier than expected, was super helpful in diagnosing what was wrong, and listened and asked good questions. Super friendly and great driver in taking me and my car home. Would totally recommend read more

I never really write reviews but I am so thankful for the help of Wilmar's towing company! I locked my key inside my car and called about 15 different locksmith companies asking how much the cost of unlocking my door for me would be ... I was honestly shocked. For a service that likely will take 5 min or less, the going rate was over $100. Luckily one locksmith was nice enough to suggest to me that I can call a tow company for this type of thing too. I called Wilmar's and explained the situation.. He got here promptly, had patience to drive around and actually look for the car for 30min, got to the car and unlocked the door in 2 min, was pleasant and professional, and charged a very reasonable cost for the service provided (a fraction of everywhere else). My problem was solved and I didn't feel ripped off or silly about the mistake. If you are in a emergency lockout situation , DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CALL THIS DUDE. read more

Super prompt and they beat every other price out there. Would definitely use again.
