My car got towed from my apartment complex.. I saw a tow truck driver named Doug pull up, and he was incredibly professional and helpful throughout the process. He made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. Thank you, Doug, for your help and great customer service! read more

Yesterday, I was delivering a DoorDash order to this apartment complex. The entire parking lot was completely full, so I had to pull by the fire lane for literally two seconds to run the food inside. The second I stepped away, a driver from All Brauns Towing--who was clearly hiding in the shadows waiting like a vulture--hooked my car and took off immediately. This is the second time I have been targeted and towed by them. They claim they are just enforcing rules because the complex told them to tow anyone without a parking permit, but targeting delivery drivers who are briefly stopped in a fire lane due to a completely full lot is absolute extortion. They don't care about safety; they are just hiding in the dark to rob working people of their money. Absolute scammers. 0/10 suing their asses read more

Shitty ass towing company. Makes money in the most shittiest way possible. They come and drive around apartment complex complexes just to two peoples cars. And then charge you an arm and a leg to get your car out. They should be illegal of how much they charge. The people that worked there are shitty people too. read more

Here's a strong, no-BS review Absolutely terrible experience with this towing company. I pulled up to a friend's place for literally a few minutes just to drop off food--went inside and came right back out, and my car was already gone. That's how aggressive and predatory this company is. When I contacted them and explained the situation, there was zero understanding or willingness to work with me. All of my personal belongings were inside my car--my wallet, phone charger, everything--so I was left stranded and had to walk over 2 miles late at night just to get to the tow yard. To make it worse, they charged me over $600 for having my car for less than an hour. That is beyond unreasonable--it's straight-up exploitation. I understand towing enforcement, but this felt like a setup to trap people and squeeze as much money out of them as possible. Horrible business practices, horrible people, and zero customer service. Avoid this company at all costs. read more

BEWARE!! This company is Illegally Towing cars parked in ADA spots. Violation of General Authorization Limits (CVC § 22658(l)(1)(E)) Your company has no legal authority to independently patrol, ticket, or tow vehicles for a disability placard issue. Under CVC § 4461, placard compliance and citations are regulatory matters legally reserved for law enforcement officers, not private towing enterprises. read more

If I could give zero starts I would! Absolutely ridiculous, they wrongfully towed my car and made sure to drive off the property after he saw my mom chasing him just so he could get paid, what a douchebag! We had to pay a $330 drop fee which is crazy and they aren't even the tow company contracted with our complex! We reported them to San Ramon police department, I hope they get shut down because they seem to wrongfully tow cars read more

I work for Amazon. I saw the tow truck; before parking, I had left the engine running and the hazard lights on. I just went to drop off a package--it didn't even take three seconds--and they had already loaded the vehicle onto the tow truck. They told me that if I wanted them to put it back down, I had to pay $357. They didn't do anything else; in just those three seconds, they simply lifted the front wheels and put them back down. $357... Damn this company; I hope this money comes back to haunt your children. read more

This company caused damage to my vehicle during a tow. My auto insurance provider conducted a full investigation and formally determined that All Brauns Towing is 100% at fault for the negligent damage. Despite this official finding, the business operates in complete bad faith. They explicitly refuse to provide their legally required commercial liability insurance information to my adjuster. Instead, they attempt to dodge accountability by claiming I signed a "liability waiver." Here is their deceptive process: when you pay to retrieve your vehicle, they force you to sign a tiny, unexplained electronic screen just to release your car. They do not show you a printed contract or explain that you are signing away your rights until after you pay, a predatory practice their own lobby cameras can prove. California state law strictly holds tow operators accountable for transit damage. Forcing a consumer to sign a hidden waiver under duress just to keep their car from being held hostage does not override state law and is void in a courtroom. This is a highly unprofessional business. Do not let their deceptive waivers intimidate you stand your ground, involve your insurance, and take them straight to court. read more

Extremely aggressive company that serves itself, not the communities who hire them. Avoid companies that engage in predatory towing practices - this is their business model - these folks aren't in for the convenience of parking for the community residents. read more

The employees are very rude and extremely disrespectful!! I am calling out to the city of livermore and livermore police department!! please stop working with these people!!

Just doing their job. No damage to my vehicle. Employee who met with us at the tow lot was friendly

I parked my truck on the side of my apartment complex to quickly grab my wallet before going to work. There is a loading zone sandwiched between two fire lanes and because I was in a rush I parked right behind it in the red. Yes this was my fault but since I was just going inside to grab my wallet and I was in a rush I did not think much of it. By the time I came out, one of their tow truck drivers had grabbed lifted and secured my truck and left all within 5 minutes. I know how long it takes to properly get a vehicle on a tow truck. This means that he was watching me and waiting for me to get out of the truck so he could quickly grab my vehicle. I called the towing company and they said come to the yard. I called a uber waited for the driver and got to the tow truck yard all before the driver had offloaded my truck. I asked him if he can just leave it there I'm going inside to pay for it and he said no I have to take it in the yard. It's one thing to do your job. Preying on someone's mistake to capitalize on it is not one of them. read more

If only I could do 0 stars for the lack of unprofessionalism this thing of a place calls not only did they tow our car for being parked not even 10 min in a restricted area due to a move we are going through so it was quick and fast, which doesn't make our actions any better but by the second we noticed we started following him to be able to track our car and see where he was taking it not only did he say "if you want it you have to pay for it "and sped off he MADE SUREEEE to run every red light so that I wouldn't catch up to him not only are you risking yourself and others you're risking the car behind you that's hanging that's so dangerous and all because he thinks he has a power trip over his position someone should definitely handle that type of people they hire for these positions risking everyone and your company insane read more

My vehicle was towed illegally from an apartment complex ( EAVES DUBLIN ) - parked in a spot with no markings for reserved parking. Fee to get my car released $550.00 - At 2am, they said I could get my car at 3am because that's when the shift starts....go there at 3 and they said if I waited until 8am in the morning, the fee will be LESS $125.00 ( like an open gate fee or something ) -- They couldn't mention this over the phone when we called multiple times to get instructions? I left at 3:30am and went back home to sleep for a few hours. Went back to the lot at 8:00am and paid $425.00 #annoyed read more

The most disgusting customer service I have ever experienced in my life! My car got wrongfully towed when I parked my car on the side of the street for less than 3 minutes with my emergency lights on. I quickly got towed and called in, and the man on the phone yelled at me saying "that's not my problem, I will call you back." I waiting with my 1 year old baby on the side of the street at 10pm for 20 mins for a response. When I finally called back and asked for an update, he denied he ever said that with an attitude and then yelled "Wah wah wah go cry about it! Hahaha your car got towed and you have to pay!" and yelled more over me disgusting words! I was left SPEECHLESS! This was the most unacceptable, unprofessional behavior I have ever seen! I tried to explain calmly that I'm left on the street alone in the middle of the night with my infant and no ride since my car seat was in that car, and even asked if they can bring the car back so I can pay since I have no way of getting there. They said no with attitude and told me to "figure it out, wah wah wah not my fault" this is unacceptable!!!!!! It's one thing to tow a car and handle it professionally, but this is disgusting unprofessional, rude employees who don't have any customer service! Thankfully I recorded the entire conversation and will be escalating this legally! read more

My parking permit expired, and they wasted no time towing my car just a couple of hours later- ok reasonable. At least now I know they're quick to tow cars and enforce their policies. If your apartment complex uses this towing company, be prepared to pay between $500 and $600 to get your car back. Right when I found out my car was gone that morning, I scheduled my car pickup for exactly 11 AM on Saturday, and the worker arrived at 10:59 AM. Can't really be upset about that. read more

Why should I gave 1 star? Supposed to be zero (0) or negative review. This company is deals Predatory towing activities, a SCAM! My vehicle was towed illegally from my apartment, and asked to pay $550. They will charged you Towing Fee for $225, one day storage Fee for $110 (not even 12 hrs from there yard), Gate Fee for $100 and material used for $65. From the report they print it shows that the Police reported to them that my vehicle was illegally parked. How come the Police searching vehicle illegally parked inside the apartment premisses. They also put a badge number of the police which actually looks wrong. They are criminals and thieves for illegal towing. I will also report them to the better business bureau. They are extremely rude and complete scammers. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. read more

This is the worst tow company to deal with. With that being said the lady in the office was fine. Did her job and wasn't pushy or rude. Now the tow drivers are pieces of work. I have a permit displayed in my window and it was still towed. This is the second time the same company took a car with a permit and yet when I call them to remove a car parked in my assigned spot, they refuse to take it. Tow drivers refused to give a name because he knew he was in the wrong. He said that even with a permit he can take it if he wanted and that I have to pay to even get my items out of my vehicle as I need them for work. So many times I see people parking without a permit and yet they are never touched. No sticker no tow, and yet when a permit is displayed the car is towed. read more

Email to GM: Jason Lind Jason, I wanted to have everything in writing as I feel the issue was not resolved after several attempts to speak to you (Incident report #2403070082 from officer Longo Batch #50). Today, I went to pick up my vehicle from your tow yard at around 10:11am. I paid the fees of $425.00 for the towing and the car was released to me. When your staff walked me out to my vehicle, I got into my car and turned it on. Upon turning on the vehicle, there was two messages that appeared on my dashboard: *My car has been towed before and this has NEVER happened* "Currently unavailable, see operator's manual" "Collision Prevention, Assist Plus, Inoperative" Per my invoice, it was noted that the tow method was "towed rear dollies front" which was NOT the method used to tow my vehicle hence the damage to my car. Also, there was inconsistencies with your invoice as the vehicle color of my car is Gray and NOT Black as listed on the invoice. After doing some research, a mercedes should never be towed with any wheels on the ground. This is how ALL BRAUNS towed my car: THIS IS NOT THE PROPER WAY TO TOW MERCEDES! If your staff is not using the proper equipment to tow foreign vehicles, they should not do so. My car was NOT in this condition when it was towed as I was driving yesterday perfectly fine. This means the car was NOT properly towed. Your drivers in fact DID NOT use a towed rear dolly to tow my vehicle which is why it triggered the sensors in this mode. ALL BRAUNS did not properly tow my vehicle with the proper equipment therefore the car is no longer running and could have detrimental damages. I believe ALL BRAUNS is responsible for these damages to my car as it was not properly towed. I am requesting that you give me a full refund for the following: -the towing fees - the diagnostics fee at the Mercedes Dealership - any damages that were done to the vehicle If you are not willing to cooperate and settle this dispute amongst ourselves. I will be forced to get legal advice and move forward in another direction. It is unfair for you or your staff to take the easy route and say "call your insurance". If this was a problem I caused, I would have no issues taking care of this but it was not. The car was in your possession and you as a business owner/manager are liable for anything that happens when your team is not following proper company procedures. I expect an response immediately as I want to get this resolved as soon as possible. read more

SCAM written all over this place! Charged another guy $225 for his car when he had a sob story but charged me $425! Very rude customer service. My car was parked in front of my home when they towed it during the middle of the night! There's a lot of stuff that you need to get your car back so come prepared because they make the process last longer than it should so that it can be 5:00pm and you have to pay the next day fee. They are very expensive compared to other tow places! They supposedly close at 5:00pm but are towing cars 24 hours. I said this and the man got an attitude. Very sketchy place and in a sketchy area. If I could give 0 stars I would! read more

just now This place is a joke. Charged $550 plus and gave no explanation. When I talked to the employee here, he wouldn't give me any Info on anything. I tried to call again to get some clarity on what was going on and would forward my calls or hang up. What a joke of a business. No wonder why these guys have the ratings they do. read more

My vehicle is parked right outside my garage with me washing my other car that is parked 10 ft away from car 1, my wife is inside the garage and we both have the vehicle in our sight (with supervision). I suddenly heard a metal scraping and hit the bottom of my car. In 2 seconds the front of my car got lifted. The towing guy backed up so fast that it endangeres pedestrians inside our community. He intentionally did not drive by instead, he went around so he can back up and get my car that fast. Again, this is with supervision of me and my wife. The guy lifted car 1 so high that his towing equipment damaged my front aero shield and both lower control arms. If the company does not make it right, I'll have them pay for the repairs as stated in: ARTICLE 1. Authority to Remove Vehicles [22650 - 22711] " A towing company that removes the vehicle under this section shall be responsible for the following: (1) Damage to the vehicle in the transit and subsequent storage of the vehicle. (B) Upon the request of the owner of the vehicle or that owner's agent, the towing company or its driver shall immediately and unconditionally release a vehicle that is not yet removed from the private property and in transit.  A person failing to comply with subparagraph (B) is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Okay listen up. I am level headed and calm. I'm making this review based on this companies fairness and transparency. I want to say they handled my car with care which is why it's a 1 star and not negative. They were pretty professional except that they simply said I was lying on my police report even after the police took my info and filed a case. They simply said "we don't believe you" - the fat Mexican guy with eyes circles- this guy was talking to me and that's when I found out, if they have a person at the front saying that we don't honor police reports I should of known what type of business this is. They didn't try to get to the bottom of it they simply wanted there cash, which I don't blame them but you are dealing with people and their possessions so if they legally had no possession of there car and it was parked in a permit area zone then why would someone have to pay. I was told even if a cop comes out they still wouldn't release it without me paying, that is a crazy business structure. Anyways more reasons as to why I'm rating a 1 star is they just didn't even want to deal with me. I'm active duty military and often not home for days at a time. I work overnight and left my car at my residence. Then by the time I went to my car it had been 3 days and end up paying $700+ This whole situation was just weird. They are a one star company because before towing they can confirm with the residence that this license plate is valid. Which it was! So they are just scummy and want to be quick to tow when there is no necessary reason to tow with urgency in this establishment of a multi level parking lot that never fills up. Overall, they lack transparency, lack fairness, do not care about if the vehicle they tow actually needs to be towed, they would find small details in their contracts such as, parked in white lines or parking permit not visible to tow. If this company wants to be a 5 star company and expand it starts with how they deal with customers. Pathetic company. read more

Nightmare experience with this company. They are predatory and literally watched as my husband parked less than 1 foot into the zone of a complex off of Sutro in Hayward...then pounced. The rude guy on the late night phone wouldn't give his name and hung up on us twice. We were forced to meet...literally in the middle of the night...on a dimly lit, shut down industrial cul-de-sac to pay and pick up...or risk being charged an additional fee by morning for "overnight storage". Wish I could give zero stars. Avoid these creeps at all costs, and carry a ruler if you park anywhere near their equally predatory clients. The stink of the collusion will burn your nose hairs. read more

Total extortionists who slide in/partner with various HOAs and apartment properties to tow vehicles that belong on the property. Extremely rude female(?) at the front desk and it's no wonder they have bullet-proof glass separating them from customers. My wife's car was towed overnight because her parking permit wasn't visible. This is extortion, plain and simple. Don't believe me? Read all of their 1-Star reviews. read more

Towed my car after just running into my house for a couple seconds. Robert who was working the night shift was SO RUDE ! He caught an attitude with me when I was asking simple questions about my vehicle.

I was parked in a location in my apartment complex, authorized by the manager at the time and yet my car still got towed in less then an hour. I happen to step out to move my car and I see it's gone. I ask the property manager to give them a call, he just laughs and says no can do. I personally called him, I was being polite and respectful , in return all I received was disrespect, unprofessionalism, and Egotism. I get it you got to do the job, but the fact that this company is surviving off of stealing money from poor hard working families, I'm astonished. After reading all the other posts, I am flabbergasted at the fact that this company is still running and I'm pretty sure they keep a paper trail to defend themselves. Its just sad these guys are trying to be Batman as if they are in Gotham, while in reality just harming hard working American families. The last part had me the most, was the fact if you have a complaint or any issue with their policy , they don't have a legal firm , yet they have been running since 2014. Why would I make a complaint on portal they control and it's a family owned business on top of that . They just gonna make themselves look good. Yelp truly reflects how poor, predatorial , and unprofessional this company. The phone operator really tried to reference McDonald's when asked to speak to the legal team. P.S: Majority of their 5 star reviews are biased lol , do not take their opinion serious , if they aren't bots already lol. Sadly I can only give 1 star, as for this poor bunch deserve negative stars . Wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to fight these clowns. Anyways they scammed me of $500 being a part security worker and full time college student. Some family owned business this is. Survive off the blood of other families to make their own thrive. read more

1.6 reviews for a service and going to keep going down w your star service. No warnings. Family business that's garbage.

I understand that enforcing parking rules almost always leaves the owner of the vehicle upset, but there are some things that I would just consider to be kind of scummy business practices. 1) Towing a vehicle at 4:35 pm when their office closes at 5pm, which I would not have been able to retrieve that same day without some hefty additional fines if I didn't live so close to their lot, and insisting over the phone that I call the office again *after* 5 pm to even make an appointment that could possibly happen *at* 5 pm (despite their page stating that they are open 24/7). 2) Invoicing me $100 for 1 day of "storage" even though I arrived *before my car was even off the tow truck*. 3) Asking me to sign god knows what before they charged my card, and then only showing the specific things I was invoiced for AFTER I signed for the transaction. On paper, as a person who parked in an unfortunate spot blocking *my own garage*, I admit that there were some moments here that I could have perhaps been smarter about this monetary exchange. So was what they did legal? Probably, I guess. Was it also scummy? I personally kind of think so. read more
