First day I moved to Seattle, my car died! Yared was so helpful and friendly!! Made a terrible day so much better! Appreciate the helpful service! read more

Fast, helpful, polite and very reasonably priced! Yarded got our dead car out of the way of traffic and off of a very steep hill.

Fast, friendly, and helpful! I had accidentally left a light on in my car while I was out of town and when I was back my car wouldn't start and couldn't be jumped. Yared showed up within twenty minutes, navigated his truck into my parking garage, and started my car in minutes. Since I didn't have time to drive my car around to extend my battery or go get my battery charged, he was able to replace my battery within another few minutes. I would call him anytime with car troubles! read more

Got a flat tire, called AAA, was quoted a 2 hour window for arrival and Yared showed up 4 minutes after the call ended! Changed the tire in less than 10 minutes. Very kind and professional! 10/10 read more

Yared was fast, very personable, provided a reasonably priced battery replacement. Very grateful!!

Amazing service and so quick! I ended up with a dead battery and they came out within 15 minutes and were able to sell me a reasonably priced new battery. A jump would have gotten me home but I would have had a stalled car the next morning. Will definitely be using Yared again if I have any similar needs. read more

I've read the reviews here of Yared, and he sounds amazing. I wish I'd gotten THAT Yared. Instead, I got a rude jerk that could barely be bothered to do his job. What's this "above and beyond" stuff I'm reading about? Dude barely hit the bar. I'm graciously giving him three stars because be showed up and jumped my battery, which is basically bare minimum. I'm not going to fawn over that. I had questions and he just brushed them off before shoving a clipboard in my face. This guy was so awful to be around, I briefly wondered if stealing cars would be easier than dealing with his horrible attitude. Seriously, buy yourself a portable jump starter, keep a spare tire on hand, learn to Flintstones it ... anything's better than dealing with this douche canoe. I find it odd that most of his reviews are so glowing. Then I checked the "Not Recommended" reviews and found one by Desdemona that rang true to my experience with him. It was a valid review. Why was it buried? Hiding that was incredibly misleading. As a woman, I want to know if the mechanic that's supposed to help me has a history of being crappy to women. Why is her experience any less valid than all the other "satisfied customers"? This is shady AF. read more

Yared's Road Service - Towing Near Me

I needed a new battery and Yared himself came to my assistance. He was so kind and personable, we chatted while he swapped out my battery. I appreciated his efficiency and got me sorted out within 20 minutes! read more

I locked my keys in my car at a gas station and had to call AAA. They told me it would be 90minutes!!! Well thankfully, Yared arrived in 15 minutes, was friendly and efficient and had me back on the road in under 5 minutes. I have never had Triple A pull through for me so quickly - thanks Yared! read more

When I had a flat in an unfamiliar place, Yared showed up quickly and got me back on the road. Loved his positive attitude and everything about his service. read more

Yared is incredibly fast and efficient upon arriving on site! I was having a terrible time trying to replace a flat on my own. All of his tools were neat and organized in the back of his vehicle, and he was able to jack up the car and replace the tire within 60 seconds of parking his truck. The entire visit took only 5 min from arrival to departure. I cannot recommend his services enough. read more

Unfortunately,I lock my keys in my car and Yared was quick to respond. He made it to my location in 10 minutes and unlocked my car in about one minute. So thankful for him and his roadside service, he was so kind. He saved the day and kept my baby, mother, and I from waiting out in the cold. I would recommend Yared's road service 100% and hopefully I won't leave my keys in my car again hahaha -_- read more

Yared helped me through a AAA services request. He arrived much earlier than the original ETA, was very polite and responsive, and offered super quick service to jump start my battery. He has been working in the Seattle neighborhoods for 29 years! Highly recommend his service. Friendly, fast, and efficient. read more

I was loading some artwork for a show in a little shop in Fremont - parked in a loading zone with my flashers on. That was enough to drain my 6 year old battery in my Honda CRV. I called Yared because of the positive Yelp reviews and he told me where he was and how long it would take to get to me. He did not ask for anything regarding payment when I called - just my location. He arrived within 15 minutes and installed a new battery very quickly. He is an honest, good person and I highly recommend him. read more

Yared is awesome! I've had a lot of trouble this year with my car and have had to use AAA 3 times to tow to the mechanic a block away. The previous tow driver belittled me and was grumpy. The guy before that was good, but nothing to write home about. But Yared! Apparently, he lives nearby and he will be my new go-to. Before hooking my car up, he tried to get it working - something the other tow-drivers hadn't done. He tried 3 different methods to attempt to start my engine (sadly, no luck, but thank you Yared for trying to save me money) and was friendly and easy to talk to. My boyfriend hopped in the vehicle and Yared was really good at giving clear instructions. Plus, he definitely didn't have to, but he was very complimentary (ex. "Wow, you did a great job following instructions", etc) so my bf couldn't help but feel good afterward. Super friendly guy; happy to have met him. :) read more

AAA told me my tow truck driver might take 2 hours to arrive because of how busy it was, but Yared got there in less than 20 minutes. He not only had great response time, but was very friendly and easy to work with. I will be holding on to his business card so I can specifically request him in the future. I would highly recommend to anyone else. read more

Over the past few years, I've had multiple dealings with Yared's Road Service after having left town for months at a time and needing a jump start upon my return. I'm not one to spend much time on social media much less write reviews, but my recent experience having to call AAA yet again for a jump start followed by Yared personally showing up to help revive my car compelled me to write this review. My experience with Yared was wonderful from beginning to end. He apologized for the wait (which was at most 20 mins so no time at all!) and he was very helpful and friendly throughout the process. I've only ever had a positive experience dealing with this company! read more

I had trouble starting my car last night and called AAA roadside the next morning. Yared helped get my car back up and running quickly and efficiently. While I originally thought I had an issue with my battery, he was able to start my car and diagnose the issue. read more

Getting stuck with a flat tire in downtown Seattle at 5pm on a weeknight is awful. Called Yared and was back on the road in under 30 minutes. He was professional, knowledgeable, fast, and friendly. Our nerves were pretty fried and he managed to soothe us while he fixed our tire, sending us on our way feeling well cared for. I wouldn't call anyone else for roadside assistance. read more

Today I had the pleasure of getting a flat in downtown Seattle and a horrible weekend experience turned into a breeze because of Yared and his expedited and superb service in replacing my tire. He had the best attitude and cared about my trunk interior. I have saved his card and will make sure to use only his services in the metro area. I highly recommend this company read more

Voting with my feet on their Service. Called and had a battery replaced and the next day the battery was dead. Called and got a jumpstart and drove the car to my mechanic. Bolt was broken that connected Battery to grounding. How did that happen??? Result: Had to pay twice for the installation of a New Battery, which should have been installed correctly the first time by Yared. read more

Great service! Had a flat tire on my parked car. I contacted Yared through AAA. Yared switched it out for the spare in minutes. The wait to get service was rather long since it was a busy Saturday, but AAA kept me apprised of when he would arrive and the service itself was quick as it could be. read more

My Prius' 12v battery finally bit the dust, and I needed a new battery. I contacted Yared through AAA and was given a specific time for arrival. he was on time, courteous, efficient, and in no time had my battery analyzed (yes it was toast) and replaced. The cost was much less than taking my car to the dealership, and obviously much more efficient. The whole visit took maybe 15 minutes. I would definitely call Yared again! read more

I called AAA for a flat tire. Yared was responsive and texted to let me know when he was arriving. I was in a parking lot at my place of employment (university campus), which wasn't easy to find, but Yared stayed on the phone and quickly made his way to my car. He was very personable and extremely kind. He was also very efficient and replaced my tire within minutes. Yared is professional, knowledgeable, and cares about his customers. Highly recommend!! read more

Yared's Road Service is fantastic! He arrived promptly, was extremely professional, and handled my battery issue quickly. I live in a downtown highrise and thought it would be a hassle to get someone into the garage etc - he handled all of that with ease. While I hope I never need to see him again for a problem - there is nobody else I would call if I have one! read more

Great experience! I called AAA to get a battery replacement and Yared was 5 minutes away before I even got off the phone. Was very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend! read more

My battery unexpectedly 'died' while I was trying to mail a package. Yared showed up within 30min of calling AAA and he was incredibly professional, helpful, and efficient. Turns out that the battery wasn't secured after getting it replaced (ahem, O'Reilly Auto Parts) and it de-lodged itself from the connections. Yared talked us through his step-by-step reasoning, checked my battery's lifespan, and even cleaned off the corrosion with his own personal water bottle. It was a quick 10min fix but I'm certain that if another company came out they wouldn't have seen the problem right away nor cared as much as Yared. He is extremely respectful and experienced and I will absolutely be calling him the next time I have any car issues. read more

AAA called this place to tow my car to garage. The driver refused. He told me he would follow me but not tow. Then he said he'd do it at "my convenience" meaning I would have to pay, not AAA. He had jump started my car so he would not tow it. I called AAA back to sort it out in the meantime he left. When I tried to drive my car it died again. Luckily aaa is getting another tow truck driver from me. He was a total jerk from the moment he called to ask me where my car was (right in front of the address he was given) till the moment he pulled away with a rude gesture. read more

Ok, this guy is really the best! I called AAA for a lockout and 15 minutes later I was in! Yared arrived quickly and it took him less than a minute to unlock. Amazing! read more

Yared 's road service is super dependable and quick. Great, old fashioned, dependable and honest service. I will carry his business card in my wallet. read more

I was already having a rough day, so when I discovered I had a VERY flat tire...I was not a happy camper. I called AAA Roadside and very shortly received a text alerting me that Yared's service was on the way! When he arrived, he was so courteous and kind...and efficient! I literally have never seen anyone change a tire as quickly as he did! He was in and out in under 5 minutes. Something that was feeling so overwhelming ended up a blink of an eye! Thank you Yared's for turning my day around! read more

The car was in valet parking, and we were informed it had a flat. The hotel staff was unable to change the tire, so we called AAA, who dispatched Yared's. From the time of my call to getting the car was less than an hour, and the service was outstanding. read more

The bad news: my car died. The good news: It was home in my driveway. I called AAA. Within an hour Mr. Yared Tesema arrived, opened the hood, checked the battery (I had replaced it at Les Schwab a month ago), declared the battery healthy, then pointed out that said battery had been installed incorrectly, was not bolted down and the cable had come loose. He fixed it for me. He even drove off to a parts shop to pick up a portion of the cable that needed replacing. There are plenty of difficult people in the world. Mr Tesema is not one of them. What a fine experience. read more

This guy is sooooo nice. After I called AAA because my battery died, he arrived in 8 minutes! He was very professional, friendly and efficient. He changed the battery quickly and he even removed a big rat that had crawled up under the hood and died! I was so grateful. I called AAA to let them know how awesome his service was. I would recommend him to anyone. And I will agree with some of the other yelpers, he does have an amazing smile! read more

Yared was so quick and friendly! He definitely deserves your business. The time from when I made the request for a battery replacement to getting a receipt from him was about 45 minutes. He was incredibly friendly and explained everything that he was doing as he was doing it. read more

Returned from a medical appointment to find a flat tire. It was 5:30, and my car was in underground parking. The repair was complicated by the garage locking at 6:30, and very little light to do the repair. Adane from Yared's was patient, calm, and incredibly competent. I highly recommend this company. read more

I called AAA after waking up to 2 slashed tires. Not only did Yared arrive within 20 minutes (when I was quoted 3 hours) he put a smile on my face with wonderful customer service. Thank you for making a awful situation better! read more

My experience with Yared was truly excellent. When my car wouldn't start, Yared reached my Seattle residence promptly and diagnosed the issue with ease. He worked quickly to replace my battery, but took the time to explain everything to me along the way. You can tell that he cares about the quality of his work, and enjoys what he's doing. You can also tell that you're getting a great value, and he's not trying to rip you off like some other companies/services will do. I would highly recommend his service, and will certainly reach out to him in the future for any further issues. read more

This is a lovely guy and such good customer service! He is super nice, efficient and easy going! Can't say enough good things - he waited for me when I called to get my tire fixed and my bus was late taking me to meet him. He fixed the tire expertly and quickly and was so helpful and friendly. Thanks Yared! read more

I called AAA because my car wouldn't start and thought I would be waiting around all day for somebody to show up. Yared arrived within thirty minutes and made my bad day a lot better. He was extremely funny and his positive attitude made the entire situation better. He was able to get my car running within 15 minutes and even pumped up my tires before he left. I will definitely call Yared if I ever experience an issue on the road again. read more
