Booked a roadside assistance flat tire repair and Atlas Towing's Derek showed up 30 minutes faster than estimated and got the job done professionally and fast. Knew everything he needed for my 2026 Gmc Sierra and i trusted he knew what he was doing. 5/5 stars thanks again Derek! read more

The guy who towed my car was amazing! Shout out to "Oscar" who picked us up at Burlingame! He was very nice and made sure we are comfortable. Having a car break down is quite stressful but he was very positive which is very helpful. read more

Geico dispatched Atlas to jump start my car. I don't know the name of the person they sent but he was incredibly rude, intolerable. At the start he was gruff but when he was telling me I needed a new battery and throwing fear tactics in to convince me to buy from him on the spot, my neighbor who I know knows more about cars than anyone, started to advise me. This man tore into him, verbally attacking him for daring to interfere, as if I didn't have the right to an opinion from a trusted friend. Once he started he didn't stop and instead of doing his job and giving neutral facts he gas lighted both of us. I couldn't even get my questions in. He was offended, took everything personally. His anger actually scared me. Many times I had to tell him to stop yelling over me. He really felt I needed to get a battery from him, saying I was taking a big risk not doing so. After he left, my neighbor charged my car with his charger and I took my car to my stress free mechanic to get a battery. Also, my neighbor told me he witnessed him putting on the cables in an unsafe way. Afterwards I went to Yelp to see what kind of reviews there were. Scroll down and see fur yourself. Lots of 1 starred reviews that say some really bad stuff. Hence my review and I also reported the business to Geico. read more

My car needed a new key and they provided excellent service and resources. Thank you for fast, reliable services!

DO NOT! I repeat: DO NOT utilize tow services of this highly unethical and greedy tow company! After being hurt in a car accident and having San Mateo PD call a tow service on my behalf in order to clear my mostly intact vehicle from the scene of the incident along the southbound lane of El Camino Real, an Atlas Tow Truck Driver showed up on the scene. He quickly cleaned up the debris field left behind after the accident, strapped the vehicle to his truck and drove it to an adjacent street. At this point, he dialed his lead dispatcher to see how much he should charge me in order to drop off the vehicle near downtown Redwood City, where I live, which was no more than a 15 minute drive from the scene of the accident. I was standing directly next to the driver and happened to overhear their conversation through the loudspeaker. To my complete shock the dispatcher suggested that I'm charged $288 for the job! When I asked for an explanation, I was told that the reason why the rate was so high was because it was a police initiated emergency tow service which I was unaware of at the time when when I was debating whether to call roadside assistance through my insurance company or let one of the officers on the scene handle the service request on my behalf. HINT: always opt for your own roadside assistance service if you can afford to wait for the help to get there, because Atlas Tow Truck company which showed up on the scene absolutely took advantage of me! All told the entire service request took approximately 40 minutes from the moment the driver arrived on the scene to the time my vehicle was dropped off inside my garage on Alden St. The shocking $288 hourly rate which was quoted by the shady dispatcher who answered the phone was, at the very least, supposed to be prorated, and I'm trying to see if I can be partially reimbursed back for the upfront out-of-pocket charge that I incurred courtesy of Atlas Towing. I may adjust this review if the tow truck company that I had the displeasure of dealing with chooses to cooperate and issues a partial refund for the services its driver rendered on the night of January 7th. Until then, I suggest that anyone thinking about which company to utilize for their tow service needs to stay away from Atlas Towing! read more

Please do not use this company for battery replacements! I had them replace a battery in my Prius which failed within 4 days. I brought it to the Toyota Dealer's service center and they confirmed that there was nothing wrong with my car--only that the new battery had a bad cell. When I bought the battery from Atlas, they told me it came with a 3year warranty. They do not honor their warranty. They tell you that someone will call you back but they never do. They tell you that their battery guy isn't in the shop now but that he'll call back later--but he doesn't call back. They also tell you that even though the battery has a warranty, you still have to pay for their service to uninstall and install a new/replacement battery. It is a total scam. Today I called at 9:32am and was told someone would call me back later today. I called again at 3:14pm since I hadn't heard back from anyone and was told the same. I called again at 4:47pm and spoke to a person who identified himself as Mr. Dennis. Mr. Dennis told me that no one can help me because they close at 5pm. I didn't call after 5pm--I called at 4:47pm. I will be reporting Atlas and Mr. Dennis to the Better Business Bureau. I highly advise people not to use this company. read more

3 hours for a tow. That's perfect when dispatch said less then an hour. They for sure give the best service

Super friendly driver, made me have the Confidence that the driver was able to tow my vehicle without damaging it!

Showed up quickly. Did a good job towing my minivan. Responsive and Would use again.

They came in less than half the eta predicted by the insurance company. I was blessed because there was also a training taking place so the trainee made things quicker because 2 pair of hands are always better than one. They were very pleasant, kind, personable and such gentleman. They communicated with me throughout the whole process which was pretty educational and enjoyable. They answered all my questions. I felt very secure with them towing my vehicle. I wish this type of smooth experience for anyone in need of a tow. They were also considerate and communicative to the nearby drivers and people that were parking close by. They drove safely. They were communicative with the dealership as well. I dislike that I did not remember their names. All of this happened during rush hour traffic as well. Not sure which location they came from but hopefully this is a reflection of the each location. read more

See all

Totally unsurprised by how many other reviews mention how rude they are. Unprofessional and I'd stay away.

Derek helped me tow a Prius to the repair shop. He was prompt, friendly, and went out his way to help me figure out what was wrong with the car and how best to handle it with the insurance company. I was really really impressed! Thanks so much for excellent customer service! read more

These guys are the best. My suburban died and Chevy roadside couldn't tow it. I was told to call Atlas cause they can tow anything and they were right! read more

The best in many ways! Affordable price and very fast. I was broke down on the side of the road and Bernard immediately was on top of the job. But first safety was on his mind, i crossed in between the car and truck and he immediately cut me off and said to get to his truck and not pass in between the cars as a safety precaution. He also from arrival to departure took only 7 minutes. Which he said was slow for him because of the damage to my car. WOW! AMAZING MAN AND COMPANY. thank you bernard and Atlas. read more

Atlas towing was dispatched by my insurance company for a jump start. Not only did they arrive within 15 minutes, but they came prepared with a replacement battery. Sure enough, the old battery was horribly corroded, something that the dealership had not caught at the recent inspection. They put in the new battery then and there for $140 total, which is comparable to other places, and they had a credit card reader for convenience. read more

My 2006 Toyota Prius died when I was at least a mile from home in a sketchy neighborhood after midnight. I called Atlas, and they arrived in about 30 minutes. Instead of towing my car, which I initially thought was necessary, they told me we could jump-start it instead, saving me money. They then followed me to my house, since the battery was very weak, and they wanted to be sure I was able to get the car back home. They were honest and trustworthy, as well as very professional. read more

Had a great experience with one of their employees tonight. His name was maybe Reynaldo or Raymond?? Anyways, my tires were slashed and they were dispatched by my insurance provider. The tow truck driver was able to meet me at my location and take my car to the repair shop with ease. Thank you for being a life saver! read more

Bernard from Atlas towing is a Star!. I had issues with my Porsche 911, and he was extremely, courteous, professional and after fixing my concerns in a jiffy, he gave me very good advice to avoid issues in the future. I am hard to please, but the service was top-notch. read more

Our insurance company dispatched Atlas to us during our lock-out. At first the estimated time of arrival was 30 minutes, then 45, then an hour, then they were on their way but stuck in traffic, then another hour... They were literally located in the same city as our current location so it doesn't take 2 hours to get to San Mateo from San Mateo. What seemed like forever, but in reality was a couple of hours, they eventually arrived and got the job done in 15 minutes. They completed the job however the wait time was horrible. Please be honest instead of making us wait outside in the cold with our children as you continue to lie to us about the wait times. Thanks. read more

Rude staff that make stressful situations worse. They absoultely screw you on price as well and charge as much as they can. After an accident they immediately towed my car to their lot where it racked up more charges. If I was not so shaken up from the crash and had I known how expensive having the car stay in their lot would be, I would have insisted on having them tow the car somewhere else. In short, staff are @ssholes and they have no shame in squeezing every last penny out of you. read more

Had an awesome experience with them. Geico sent them for helping me with the dead car battery.

An Atlas tow truck Driver was unhappy with how slow my wife was driving while getting off the 101. As we were getting off the highway, the Atlas driver was tailgating us at a very close distance leaving us little room to break. Once the lanes split and we were on 3rd ave he yelled at us "you drive like a bitch" I looked out the window giving this rude driver the bird and he egged me on to fight him.... At least I know where this fool works read more

Thanks, Angelo for the speedy and excellent service. Didn't take more than 20 min to arrive. I've had to wait hours before. The whole service felt really quick. Great work! read more

After a long wait on another towing company my insurance company dispatched Atlas to tow my car. They were 100% professional, gave an appropriate ETA, called with updates and called when about 15 mins out. The driver was great, let my son and I ride with him and we felt very safe. Thank you!!! read more

Motorcycle had been stolen and was found by the police. Went to get it and my insurance said Atlas was "on their way" waited an hour and called to be told they had cancelled but hadn't "gotten around" to informing my insurer or me. Was finally told they had to schedule to come get it 4 hours later so had to go home and come back. Came back, and after they were over 1/2 hr late and what was I told? That they had cancelled earlier of course and that at this point they wouldn't even keep the commitment to tow me horrible company... read more

I was driving from Menlo Park to SF on 280, and suddenly the rubber coating on the back rear door of my Range Rover became disconnected and was flapping against the side of my car. I had to pull over, and pulled into the 7-11 on San Bruno Avenue. An Atlas Towing flatbed truck was parked there, and the driver's name is Derek. He came over and helped me tape the rubber edging back to the door. I went inside to get $20 tip for him, but the ATM was broken and I had no cash. I asked him to charge the $20 to my card, and he said no problem. He was so nice, helpful and went out of his way to help me! Please THANK Derek for me! What a great guy and what great customer service and great customer service for this company. Thank you! Rebecca read more

My car was hit while parked in a hit and run. The driver's insurance company was non-responsive and the car was ticketed to be towed. Atlas Towing was able to tow the car and place it on my driveway at a very reasonable fee. They were prompt and courteous. Thanks! read more

I locked my keys in my car and GEICO sent Atlas. The first estimate was one hour, but he was there in a half hour. Also, I was at the community college where I'd never been before, so I did a terrible job of explaining where I was, but he found me anyway. Thanks Victor! You're my hero! read more

Safeco Insurance sent Atlas out at 9:30pm recently to tow my car. Driver was friendly and accommodating . Thumbs up!

They are the worst! I went to pick up my towed car and asked to be given the documents I needed. At first they denied, only after I showed them online articles from Better Business Bureau, they gave me the Private Property Authorization. I asked for photos that the driver took when he towed my car and they denied to give me anything. read more

Had trouble starting my car at work this afternoon. Once the mechanic arrived, he diagnosed that the battery was completely drained. Without hesitation, he offered to install a new one for a reasonable price. Within 20 minutes, I was leaving the lot with a new battery and a sense of satisfactory. On-site battery replacement is the most convenient service and would gladly do business again. Ask for Danny! read more

Called for service early in the morning. The driver was able to meet me in 20 minutes and quickly got my car to its destination. He was nice, professional, and worked efficiently. Very happy with the service. read more

My son was stopped by the CHP and they had his (actually my wife's) car towed. I know my son was the mane culprit here, but Atlas Towing absolutely made a bad situation worse by charging me $305 to get our car back after about a ten mile tow and keeping the car for a few hours. When I complained about the price they just said they are allowed to charge that much for a CHP tow and so they do. No mercy. So I say, take your towing business elsewhere. read more

Unethical business charging excessive storage fees. My car was towed to this location early in the morning. I called in the afternoon the same day to get my car. They had already tacked on two days of storage fees ($88 x 2) by 5pm of the same day, adding that I would have to pay an extra $85 gate fee after 5pm. Isn't a day supposed to be 24 hours? No, she said even if I had showed up at 8am they would have charged me $88 storage regardless. So what constitutes a day exactly? She couldn't say. This business is a racket preying on people who have few options or means. read more

I called them to replace my battery and they were great. I asked for a certain time, and they accommodated. Donny was on time - checked my battery - replaced it and helped me reset the codes all within 30 minutes. Price was reasonable and I'm back on the road! read more

Unprofessional, after I got my car towed the guy took foreeeever to do the paper power even stopping to go do other things all while we waited. Quite rude. read more
