Absolute life savors. I always knew I did not want to change a tire on the highway, but today I learned I would rather get a tow than attempt it. No where had a truck available to tow me home right away because I would need a flatbed for my Subaru, but I do have a spare. When I called Associated up not only was he super helpful, he was able to help decipher my bad description of where I was as I am not the best with remember what freeway I am on. He was to my location in about 15 minutes with his truck ready to help me with my situation. Very quickly he had my spare on and it aired up ready for me to hit the road. I called at 3:30, I was on the road by 4. I asked him how much, but he informed me that they are apart of the Freeway Dervice Patrol and that it is a free service. I tried to tip him and he refused! At this point another tow truck pulled up and said "Damn Highway Angels stealing our work!" . You guys are Highway Angels. I am confident in my auto ability and you calmed me down. I can only imagine what you do for others you help. Thank you guys again! read more

Absolutely terrible experience. I was present when my vehicle was being towed and asked to have it released, but the driver refused and continued with the tow anyway. The entire interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational and unprofessional. What should have been a simple conversation turned into an unpleasant experience due to the driver's attitude and lack of respect. Rather than explaining my options or treating me with basic courtesy, I was met with rudeness and a complete disregard for my concerns. He purposely tries to provoke you and uses predatory tactics to take your car illegally. I understand tow companies have a job to do, but there is a right way and a wrong way to treat people. Professionalism, communication, and respect cost nothing. Unfortunately, none of those qualities were present during my experience from the beginning. I would strongly encourage others to know their rights and document every interaction. Based on the experience not only with me but many others have been treated by the company owner. Based on his reviews He seemed to be an honest man at one point in time but over the years you can clearly see he's lost himself internally and how he operates his business ethically. read more

Four months after posting my 1-star review, I received a text message threat demanding that I remove my review rather than offering an explanation or resolution. I stand by my experience during this tow. This interaction, along with the original incident, was documented with the Vella apartment complex at the time. I am sharing my experience so others can make informed decisions. read more

Associated Tow - Jimmy with no communication skills. - Towing Near Me - Tracy, California

See all

This guy bad service, , he tow the wrong car and still forces me to pay him when it's not my problem .

My car was towed by this company, and I spoke with an employee named Jimmy. Unfortunately, he was extremely rude and unprofessional during our conversation. He showed no sense of customer service and spoke in a very disrespectful manner. I expect to be treated politely and with basic courtesy, especially during an already stressful situation. Please address this issue seriously so that other customers don't face the same experience, You shouldn't be in this bussiness if you dont have manner to talk to customers. read more

5:40pm 2/1: I called, CUSTOMER SERVICE answered. It's a gentleman very unprofessional. His mouth was full (chewing while talking) and I had to ask am I calling associated tow? Then he said "associated tow!" I asked him for a service and he said my driver is not available until 9:00 PM. I said it should be OK. I can wait. He paused for 10 seconds and said nothing. so I asked, are you gonna be able to help me?? and he .... Hmmmm. So I just decided to ask if he wants the service and he said "MAYBE NO" and then I hang up. They are only 1.06 miles from where I'm at. it just shows very clear that this guy is not willing to work and help others not reliable! call All Star towing ... they are faster and very helpful lady customer service! Kudos to all star! read more

Got two of my siblings car towed for parking without a permit. Both of the ebrakes were on and was charged for a labor fee. Didn't know that e-brakes took 60 dollars to toggle off. read more

Jeremy was really nice and helpful. He went above and beyond to help me. Often times when we get our car towed due to parking illegally or whatever the case may be we might become upset. As a society we must understand they are just doing their job. After I realized that, he was really helpful and kind! Thanks for helping me out in a time of need! read more

I hope to never need their services again, but with the frequency I drive through Tracey; I'm grateful I've found Automotive Tow. When I called, it was getting dark on a Sunday night & once they heard kids in the background, they came to the rescue. Arrived within 30 mins. communicative & quick. Honest about what was needed & how long it would take. I feel blessed & hope you all give them a call the next time you need a tow. read more

1 Star because what I experienced was definitely uncalled for. Were is the customer service? I called Jimmy because I was referred to him, wasn't sure if I had the correct number. As soon as he answered he said "Associated Tow" (unfortunately I didn't hear him clearly.) My personal issue right however I wasn't sure if I had the correct number so I stated "is this the number for towing services" Jimmy said, "Associated tow" I immediately stated, "sorry I was just making sure I was calling the correct number for towing services. Jimmy said "What do you think it is, if i said associated tow.." (tone was definitely uncalled for and he expressed a disrespectful tone) Wether It was my personal problem that I wasn't sure of having the correct number or not hearing clearly there priority should be making there customers happy. And not showing attitude. There should be no discrimination. So honestly if this ever happens call there Neighbor's EEE towing service they are definitely professional and kind. read more

BEST TOWING COMPANY AROUND!!! I called James (owner) early in the morning. Needed my car to get towed to Concord from Tracy. He was not only able to do it ASAP but also in a very affordable price! I had to go to work. I couldn't come with him to drop off my car. I was a little bit nervous about how it was going to be unfold once he got to concord and my mechanic not knowing my car. But James called me once he got to the shop waited for the mechanic to come open the shop. BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! He towed my car very quickly, professional and affordable! I will for sure recommend him to all my friends and family members. And for sure use you again! I would've gave you 100 starts if I could. Thank you again for your help! YOU'RE THE BEST TOWING COMPANY! read more

After I kooled off and re-searched tow trucks in Tracy a second time Associated Towing poped up. Jimmy answered right away, asked what city I was in and said "no problem, a key lock out? 40 bucks I'm on my way...When he arrived I explained what the compititian quoted me, he replied "for a key lock out no way". In short Associated Towing didn't leave me hanging...Call them when in a bind. I definitely will again ya diggg.... read more

Associated Tow - Thanks for coming thru at last minute notice.. - Towing Near Me - Tracy, California

Broke down car on 580 and they were able to take me all the way to Santa Rosa. On New Year's Day. Unbelievable service!

This company ONLY does Impound Tows! No "Breakdown" tows. It sure would be nice to know this in their ad. And they were not even particularly nice about it when I called, they acted as though I was bothering them! SORRY! Why advertise if your so important? read more

The owner is very rude and disrespectful, and needs to work on his patience especially with the industry he's in.he charged me 488 dollars to get my car out, I called at around 2 and my car was towed at 12:40 While discussing the price he stated he was getting his hair cut. When I asked if he was located in Tracy he responded back with my car was in Oregon. He told me I was a "big girl" and just came at me with so much aggression. He blocked my number while having possession on my vehicle so when I came to pick my car up I waited outside for over 30 minutes unaware that I was blocked. When he showed up and let me know he wasn't aware I was there since he blocked me and he only came to switch cars. This is just a summary of the events that took place, So much more happened but Overall he needs to work on his customers service skills! read more

Words cannot describe what a thoughtful and kind company this is! Jimmy helped me out so fast when I locked my keys in the car. He got to me within minutes and did not break my bank. Would highly recommend and will continue to use him for future services read more

He is a life saver! We were stuck on 1-5 northbound for 45 mins. When we called in desperation for a tow, Jimmy quickly dropped what he was doing (at the dentist) and came to our rescue! Thank god! On top of that, he is a very nice guy. He can hold up a conversation with you make you feel at ease. My husband, I promise was going crazy, but when we hop into the tow truck, he was mellow as a bee. Thanks Jimmy, you just made our day less stressful! read more

It was around Noon and Traffic was Moving, James, from Associated Tow came out and hooked us up and pulled us back down the hill of hwy 580. The Charge is Worth the Service he provides. Be Patient, he will and can take care of you, He stays busy. As Soon as he drop us off and made sure we were all ok, he told us good luck and he had another tow to do... Tracy Area and Surrounding, if you ever need a tow... He keeps it real and straight forward. read more

Absolutely fantastic! They did a great job getting us off the side of the road. I give James a lot of credit for coming way out to the "boonies" to get our car! He helped us get my handicapped grandma out and into the new car there to pick us up. James also was pleasant to wait with us, for a new car to come and get us off the road! Also, car was towed in good condition all the way home( 70 miles!). thanks associated tow, and i would highly recommend them! read more

These people are a life saver. On the way to work my car decided to overheat and I thought that it was a minor coolant thing. Associated tow mechanics were able to tell me exactly what the issue was and little did I know one of my coolant hoses were lose. Come to find out it actually slipped off during transit. I thought I was going to have to spend 100's of dollars just to get a tow. Just for them to tell me there price to tow my car was 80 bucks. You have no idea how much of a blessing hearing that prices was! Literally freeway Angels! I thank god for Associated Tow and there effort to making my day better. read more

Highly recommended!! After being stuck on Patterson Pass road for 45 minuets trying to contact AAA, I googled Associated Tow and they were there in 45 minuets during rush hour traffic.

Horrible service don't try and do anything over the phone with these guys shady service.

My fiancé's car was having issues in Tracy so I drove from Stockton to meet him. I yelped towing services and Associated Tow was the first to come up. They were able to give me us a great price AND picked up the car within 15 minutes. After having a long day with Car problems, they were able to make our day a little better with their rates and service. Don't even bother calling other towing companies like I did.. I guarantee you... you won't find a better deal or service. Your welcome. read more

They helped me out when my car battery died, and were very fast and affordable. Would recommend anytime.

Excellent service. Especially when stressed out and in a pinch. These guys got to my location faster than I could ever imagine. 3rd time I've used these guys and I was stranded with my children on a 100 degree day. These guys literally saved my sanity. I've waited hours for other tow companies, and these guys got to me in less than 20 minutes. Super friendly and highly professional. And plus, THEY DIDN'T TRY TO RIP ME OFF like all the other towing crooks. I think the drivers name was Jimmy, and believe he's also the owner of the company which lets you know he actually gives a damn and takes pride in his company. Thanks again Associated Tow. You have a customer for life. read more

James thank you for helping me out tonight with my car and getting us home safe and sound. It's nice to know in today's busy world and all the craziness that there are still good people out there.
