Very clean truck and the Driver was very knowledgeable and understanding and went a step above to make my bad situation better

Just got booted at the Elmsford Post Office and then fleeced for $65 plus tax by the driver. I am not from Elmsford but had visited the USPS once to mail something. I assumed that since the lot was open at 9 p.m. when I arrived that it would be safe to park there. There were no signs saying that it was closed and there was no gate. I called Alex's tow company and was on hold for quite a while until they said that they would send a truck. While I was waiting, I called the Elmsford police who said that they couldn't do anything about it even though I told them that that this wasn't legal. They told me to write to the Better Business Bureau. Not only wasn't this helpful but it was surprising to me that someone could just boot a car and hold it hostage for cash and that the police condoned it. When the truck arrived the driver pointed to 2 signs in the distance in the dark, as far from the entrance/exit as possible (one in the trash area and one in the far corner of the lot, probably 75 - 100 feet away). There were no signs indicating that there were parking restrictions or hours for the lot and no signs any where near the entrance -- having read other reviews, it seems that there have been others that have had this problem and yet no one does anything about it. When asked about it, the driver how they have the right to do this he said 1) I saw when you arrived at 7:30 p.m. and you could have seen the signs (I arrived in the dark at 8:50 p.m. in time for a concert in Elmsford at Pete's Saloon 2) didn't you think that maybe you shouldn't park here? 3) you seem like a smart guy, why don't you just admit that you made a mistake. These statements were incorrect and insulting. read more

See all

We have found this company to be extremely unprofessional and unresponsive. There have been significant delays in providing the necessary documentation to initiate services, despite multiple attempts to follow up by phone and email. Each time we are told someone will get back to us, but there has never been any follow-through. As investors preparing to move forward with a new property, timely communication and reliability are essential. Unfortunately, our experience reaching out in 2024, 2025, and again in 2026 has consistently resulted in no progress or meaningful response. Although we see their company's signs locally, our repeated lack of communication and follow-up ultimately made it clear that this was not a partnership we could confidently pursue. read more

Rod W ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! I contacted them regarding a simple tow from my apartment complex in White Plains to their lot. I am having the vehicle shipped to my primary residence in Michigan and wanted to have it stay there in storage for about 24 hrs. I was currently out of state however the corresponding paperwork and keys are with the vehicle. The representative kept asking my "who are you?" Once I told him, and explained what I needed, he then insinuated the vehicle was stolen. I then asked him what he need from me to prove it was my vehicle, he simply stated that he wanted "nothing to do with it." He was extremely rude and very short with me. I understand their right to do business with whom ever they want but I felt the way he went about it was wrong! I am a retired law enforcement officer with over 25 years experience; I informed him of this and it didn't matter! He continued to be rude and asked me again " who are you?" Terrible experience and should have read the reviews prior to calling. read more

These guys are absolutely the worst. I was given a boot and a 65 dollar fine when I was standing right in front of my car. Absolutely insane. But the towing company is incapable of removing motorcycles and other cars that are double parked in the complex. Terrible, terrible company. read more

I have photos and videos of cars illegally parked in front of my house for over 12 hours with the Alex's Towing sign in front. Tracy (phone manager) refused to provide an email where I can send these photos to. I said it is unacceptable for these cars to be parked ILLEGALLY for over 12 hours she said "I don't care I'm hanging up". I hung up and called back to ask for an email address where I can send these photos to and she said "stop calling us" and hung up. read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! I never authorized them to tow my car but they did it anyway right after the accident without giving me a chance to call my own towing company. The next day, they urged me not to take my car out and told me to "wait for insurance," just so they could keep racking up daily fees. They tried to hold my car hostage, claiming it wasn't driveable... when it absolutely was. After 7 days of this mess, I was forced to get my car out and they hit me with a $1,670 bill. That's supposedly $96/day, but the rest was full of random, shady extra charges -- and the tow was not even half a mile. This place is a complete scam. No transparency, no respect, and clearly no problem exploiting people after an accident. BEWARE. read more

First off this company should be investigated for unethical practices of booting cars. The customer service lady is rude and unprofessional. I work at the post office in White Plains only to be booted while working overnight in job parking lot. Handicap sticker is placed hanging from rearview but was booted anyway in handicap parking no paperwork filled out but sticker put on window with boot I did not even see. Went to drive while on break at 3:00am didnt not notice boot and now have damage to my wheel and bumper now off. Will be pursuing legal options against company any help or information please pass along. Thanks read more

On Thanksgiving Day, I found two boots placed on my car and a sticker on my window indicating I was illegally parked. When I called to have the boots released, I was told they had pictures proving my car was illegally parked and that I needed cash to get my car released, or it would be towed. The company showed up with a flatbed truck as if to have my car towed if I didn't have cash as stated.. After my car was detained for some time, I was finally told the towing company made a mistake - my car was actually in a valid spot, and their driver had made a mistake. This was my first experience with the company, and I was appalled by their rude, unprofessional behavior. It was clear from their tone that they were only interested in making money. I strongly recommend others share their experiences with this company, so the businesses that contract with them understand the need to find a more reliable vendor. read more

This company boots your car, then demands cash only to take it off, when you call the woman who answers isn't very smart so she asks you to repeat the same information several times and then hangs up on you if you display the slightest hint of frustration. My car is registered by the plate number to be in the lot where I reside, my tag was in the cup holder, I forgot to put it on the mirror. This is a scam by the tow company and unfortunately it seems it's in conjunction with the management company running my complex because why insist on having my vehicles registration information for the parking tag if it's going to be disregarded anyway? The guy who showed up was nice, I'm sure he knows the customers are already going to be upset given the circumstances in addition to having to speak to the miserable bi*** who answers the phone. read more

Absolutely terrible company, greedy as hell for money that's all it is is a money scam. Someone needs to put a stop to this. They are nasty and rude, very disrespectful and have no professionalism at all. Please shut this company down, the driver is also very dirty and greasy. read more

Horrible people. Out for money. Would never recommend them. Boot cars for no reason and then charge you 70.00 to get your car unbooted and want cash. They are liars saud the owner of a public parking lot in Tarrytown called them. I called the owner of the lot and said they never called the towing company. Spoke to the Tarrytown police as well and they said it was illegal to do that. It was a Saturday night at 11pm. Just disgraceful and the driver was nothing but RUDE and disrespectful. read more

He proceeds to RAM THE TRUCK'S WHEEL LIFT INTO THE FRONT OF MY CAR CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE!!!!!!! He did this so his COMISSION would be higher!!!!!!! NEVER USE THIS GUY!!!!!

Worst company in westchester. They towed my tenants car and while doing so they hit my car. Luckily my neighbor was able to see the driver hit my car, so when I got home he told me to check my car and my security cameras. I checked and sure enough my car had a dent and scratches. In the security video you can see the driver hitting my car, getting out to check the damage and then just leaving. I called them and informed them about the situation and they were very rude. They asked me to send evidence and I did. They replied back with a " I determined that we did no damage to your car" . I called them back and the woman answering the phone was rude to me and hung up on me. Traxx Recovery/Alex Towing need to be put out of business. They are scammers and thiefs. read more

Alex's Towing - Scammer - Towing Near Me - Elmsford, New York

Fucking Ridiculous is all I got to say hopefully these guys don't tow your car. NEVER LEAVE IT WITH THEM.

I will give this company 0 starts if I could. Most unprofessional people I have ever dealt with. They won't give out numbers or an address so I can speak with someone directly. They are so RUDE and mean and LIE about everything. Stop & Shop hires this company to give people tickets in their parking lot. Read each review. Not a single person likes this company. Contacted authorities and will take the next step. Do NOT GIVE THEM BUSINESS. read more

Very rude. Inpersonable. The driver did also threaten to leave me stranded because "I have other jobs to do."

They tow your vehicle to wrong location. Once you confront them they give you attitude. Don't want to refund your money or move your vehicle to the right location. They stuck up like they the best. I would never recommend them. If you stay tuck in Elmsford look for a good towing company. They are very unprofessional. read more

The nastiest people on the phone. Had a boot on my car in my own apartment complex due to me forgetting to put my permit up. My fault of course, so I call to have it taken off. 45 min later I'm calling to ask when he will be here and if she could call to find out how long. She gets super nasty. Says she can't shes only dispatch and he will get there when he gets there. This woman is always super nasty and has poor customer service skills. read more

Not thrilled with the service. I needed a jump start this past Sunday, Easter, and was glad there was someone close by. I believe the guys name was Peter and he had no clue. He tried to jump my truck but couldn't get it started so I left it at work and Ubered home. Monday I call for a tow and a different guy jumped it and it started right away!!!!!! When I called to let them know the guy on the phone, Alex?, didn't even apologize !!! I was also charged the full rate of 55$ plus tax for the jump . I would not call them again. read more

Zero stars. Like another reviewer I parked behind the Elmsford Post Office on a sunny quiet Sunday afternoon at around 5 p.m. for 13 minutes while I bought a sandwich at the Subway next door. I have the receipt. The lot was empty and the Post Office of course was closed. I came back and the car was booted. They only accept cash because everyone would dispute a credit card charge or stop payment on a check. Luckily I had $65 and have no idea what would have happened if I didn't. Incidentally I don't know of anyone under the age of 40 who ever carries cash. Obviously their tow truck was cruising around on a slow Sunday evening and they know they can pick up a quick few bucks watching this lot. I talked to an official in Westchester County Government who agreed that they routinely violate the spirit of the law even if they are legally in the right. A letter to the Mayor of Elmsford was quickly and courteously responded to. The Honorable Robert Williams said he would pass my letter on to the Elmsford Police Department. If I had known they had jurisdiction I would have called them at the time. Also if I had the time I would take them to Small Claims Court. Needless to say a letter to "Alex" was not responded to. On a positive note the tow truck driver came quickly, (probably there wasn't much other business late on a Sunday evening because most people are at home) was courteous and scraped the large sticker off the driver's side window, teaching me how to do it. I am not leaving his name because I don't want to get him into trouble with "Alex" for being too helpful and the poor guy needs to feed his family. I am also posting this review anonymously because I live nearby and wouldn't put it past this outfit to be on the lookout for my car, because when there is no reasonable alternative I will park in a lot they patrol, such as the one behind the CVS in Tarrytown on a Saturday night when something special is going on and the municipal lot and street parking aren't available and CVS is closed. read more

This is probably one of the most disgusting towing companies I have ever dealt with. The scum of scums, can't get any worse. Let's start off with the employee who had verbally assaulted me, which he didn't realize he was being recorded. I had immediately called back the towing company and told them what happened and they told me that the owner/manager would call me back and send me an email out the next morning. I never got a call back or an email..... shocker. So I proceeded to call back for a follow up, and the owner "Alex" I believe and he calls himself the supervisor had answered the phone. I told him what happened and in the most disgusting tone he had tried to turn it back on me. He has asked me what I had done to provoke his employee and I had told him that all I had ask was for his employee to remove the sticker off my car because I didn't wanna damage my window. Furthermore, alex or the owner/supervisor has begun getting nasty over the phone, not realizing I was recording our conversation. Once I had told him he was being recorded he had gotten upset and frustrated and hung up the phone on me. If anyone knows where I can report the employee and his employer, please comment on this post. read more

My mom came to my house Christmas Eve morning, their was no parking in the visitors area so she left the car in front of my house for a few minutes to drop her bags off. The next thing I know they are outside booting my moms car. We ran outside but he didn't care that the car was only there for a few minutes! He didn't say two words to me bedsides that it would be $70 to take the boot off! It's the holidays people are struggling and he purposely comes to this area around the holidays just to screw people over!!! I don't understand why so many places in town use this towing company!!! They should be completely boycotted! ZERO STARS!!! read more

I had an unfortunate experience. My car was towed during Covid pandemic. I have lost my job and was home sick. I called to retrieve my car and was told different addresses to get my car each time I called. Found out it was cash only and a less than decent office. When I arrived at the lot where my car was towed, the door was unlocked and the drivers seat was all the way back. I had both sets of keys at home with me and no idea why anyone was in my car. I called and asked to speak with the business owner and never received a call back. Bad enough they are taking advantage of people during a crisis situation. Zero stars. read more

This sick guy loves towing peoples cars and spreading misery. I left my car in the fire zone in front of the apartment for 5 minutes because I had to take my wife, who was in a wheelchair at the time, to the hospital and needed to get her ready. I come out and this guy is towing my car. He could have cared less that my wife couldn't walk and needed medical care. When I went to take picture of the side of his truck so I could get the phone number to call to get the car back, he started cursing me out. Finally I offered money and he immediately put the car back. He is a sadist and a scammer. If only I could give negative stars. read more

Waiting over an hour for a boot release. Boot was put on despite my clearly visible parking permit. Bunch of fucking retards working here.

Disgusting experience. Car was "booted" when parked near train station. Called Alex's Towing at 1:30 am. This very unprofessional, "scary" towing company finally came at 3:00. When I called them I explained that I was alone and that I am young and small. I figured that they would come quickly. I couldn't have been more wrong. When the tow truck driver came he was very unpleasant. He did not say a word to me and did not have a marked vehicle. He had a mean, frightening scowl on his face. TOWING COMPANY POLICY: Give me $70. CASH ONLY, now or no car! read more

This company is run like a criminal organization. Because there was no street parking, we parked in the Elmsford post office parking lot today, Sunday, to purchase lunch at Subway next door. Subways was temporarily closed, we purchased a brownie for our son at the bakery next door, and returned to our car. This all took no more than 5 minutes. By the time we returned, our car had been booted. The tow truck driver that works for this company (who looks like he had neither showered or slept in weeks) was waiting (it's very likely he followed us into the parking lot, having spotted an "easy mark") and demanded $70 in cash to remove the boots. To be clear (i) it's illegal to boot cars in NYS unless done in coordination with the police and as a result of owing more than $350 in outstanding parking tickets, and (ii) this hooligan demanded cash to remove the boots (so as to make it impossible for us to challenge the theft with our credit card company), which is clearly a deceptive and corrupt business practice. To make matters worse, this sleazy individual failed to provide a receipt and only returned the $10 in change after my husband became upset. We immediately went to the Elmsford police department to file a complaint and were told that Alex's Towing is the subject of frequent complaints from unwitting citizens caught up in similar scams. We tried to file a complaint with the BBB and quickly learned this business is uncredited as a result of numerous complaints. We will send a letter to the Elmsford post office explaining this travesty of justice, and suggest that a Federal agency should not be condoning the egregious and illegal activity being perpetrated by Alex's Towing. read more

The worst. They towed car after accident. Refused to tell us where we could get to the car. Delayed us for days. Nasty and uncooperative. Eventualy they had us come to their office and wait three hours before telling us that the car was in a lot 5 miles away. TheIr main business is car repossession avoid using them if you get into an accident, they have no regard for their customers. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars because it irks me to even have to give this company 1 star. This company is a complete SCAM. They have a contract with various apartment complexes in Tarrytown and feel as though they have a right to just go in and tow cars out of spots that people PAY to park in. So ridiculous. This guy is the biggest lowlife, and should be put out of business. read more

I unfortunately had a really bad experience with this company. The driver who came when our car needed to be towed was incredibly rude and surly, not to mention extremely tardy. I would look elsewhere. read more
