If I could leave no stars, I would. This tow company is beyond unprofessional. At 4:29 PM I called and requested a flatbed, gave all of my info, and was told it would be taken care of. They even confirmed the ETA for 5:07 PM. By 5:10 PM, no one had arrived, so I called again. The girl who answered this time said there was no record of any tow request and even tried to claim she hadn't received any calls in over an hour, basically trying to make it seem like I was wrong. Meanwhile, my family and I are stuck on the 3'rd lane of a busy interstate with two kids under 5 in the car. Instead of owning up to their mistake, they just canceled or transferred the tow elsewhere, forcing us to wait another 1-2hours. Absolutely careless, dishonest, and a total waste of time. If you value your safety and sanity, avoid this company at all costs.

My car.  In an accident today.

Did a great job picking up my vehicle and getting it to a collision facility. Shout out to Gamma. Came sooner than window given. We're flexible when my mechanic said I needed to find a collision facility. Car was in an accident and my vehicle was not drivable. Thank you very much for your help.

How to even start this review off? My car was taken to an in-pound station due to being in an accident on the 710 freeway, and it no longer being able to be operatable. I called AAA to please take my car to the nearest collision center to my house. AAA then called the nearest towing company in their region, and Checkers was sent out. Once my car was picked up, it was taken to a collision center; the tow truck driver dropped it off. While the tow truck driver was dropping my car off, they placed it on the wall of the collision center and damaged the entire back end of my car. The collision center informed me of what was going on, and nothing was ever told to me by the tow truck company. My claims agent told me to talk to the Checkers company to figure out what was going on. Another mistake on my end for thinking this would solve anything. The owner, Jose, is the most ill-tempered person I have ever spoken to. Whenever I had to talk to this person, my stomach would turn. In our last conversation, he stated he was going to drive to the collision center to verify what was going on to review the cameras and pictures. I informed the collision center he would see them, and they were expecting him. He never showed up, and they started the work since other repairs were needed. He finally called the collision center yesterday, March 25, 2023, and said he wanted to see the damage, and they told him they completed it on their end as this was almost an entire month of back and forth, and I needed a car. He got mad and started yelling at the workers. This was highly unprofessional, and Jose, the owner of Checkers, told me I should have gone to him and he could have also fixed it. HONESTLY, THIS IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE, ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. IF YOU EVER HAVE TO GET YOUR CAR TOWED, DO NOT LET CHECKERS BE THE ONES TO TOW YOUR CAR!

So conflicted. My technician was super friendly and quick. I had a flat on a rental and used the enterprise rental company roadside service. The technician charged me On-site, cash or Venmo only, and said the receipt would be included in my rental car bill. The enterprise service agent told me I was responsible for the bill. Turns out Enterprise charged me for the service and the technician scammed me into paying twice. Terrible. I had a feeling when he wouldn't produce a receipt that I was being scammed.

This guy was trying to force us to take MY CAR to a car garage and leave it there for 2 days and then pick it up so HE CAN GET PAID.

So in a nutshell, Jeremy saved me thousands of dollars and days of time loss at 6pm on a Saturday…read morein 3 hours. Backstory: had brakes previously replaced at Euro Car Masters (AVOID THEM) only to have my brakes squeaking again. After waiting all day for an oil change, was told the rotors were scored and the pads were wrong and my brake fluid was shot. They replaced the brakes unDer warranty and I paid for the brake fluid replacement. Another entire day lost. A week later, my manual clutch feels spongy. Maybe its just me I thought...until tonight (saturday), and my 2020 124 spider wont go into gear. Ai told me there was likely an air bubble in the brake/clutch fluid. Ofc the shop isnt open until monday. Frantically i called mobile mechanics to bleed my slave cylinder. Jeremy texted me back immediately after missing my call to confirm he could do it. An hour or so later, he bled the system but only half the gears worked. He then suspected a linkage misalignment, and broke down the console to realign it manually. Half hour later, all gears worked. 2 for 2 in less time than my oil change took at the other hellhole. Jeremy saved me thousands because another shop would have replaced my clutch, then the entire transmission, and potentially STILL miss the bleed and linkage. Bright side: I found a killer new MOBILE mechanic that is available weekends. What a gift. Jeremy, youre my hero. ‍

I ordered a specific tire model from this store, and they confirmed they would provide exactly that…read moremodel. But instead, without notifying me, they gave me a substitute. When I realized it wasn't what I ordered, they said "it can still be used." Seriously, if you don't have the product I asked for, you should tell me upfront instead of quietly giving me something inferior. This is a trust and integrity issue. When I pointed this out, they accused me of "overthinking." Just because you think less than others doesn't mean a reasonable person is overthinking. Very disappointing experience.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Danny as our tow truck driver during a very stressful…read moresituation. Our truck was stuck in an extremely precarious position involving a downed wire, and it was not a straightforward recovery by any means. Most tow drivers would not have been able to handle what this required but Danny absolutely did. His expertise, precision, and calm professionalism were on another level. He clearly knew exactly what he was doing, assessed the risks carefully, and executed the recovery with confidence and skill. It was obvious we were working with someone highly experienced and extremely competent. In a situation that could have gone very wrong, Danny made us feel safe and reassured every step of the way. We truly believe not many drivers could have managed what he did. We are beyond grateful we got him. If you need someone skilled, knowledgeable, and capable in a tough situation, Danny is the one.

Per California Vehicle Code § 22658(m), it requires the tow company to notify law enforcement shortly after removal or arrival at the yard. It must be recorded within 1 hour!!! This company does not follow statues/regulations set by the state. Please know your rights and sue this company for not following proper protocols. Not only that but this company is not even verified with the BBB. Also my car had a tire with low air upon arrival but that is the least of my concerns when the law is being broken.
