Worst customer service ever. EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL. A child could do a better job at not losing his temper when being talked to. The area is super sketchy it's like walking thru a dirty toilet in a meth house. SFPD said they had to give us the personal belongings and they are choosing to ILLEGALLY hold said belongings for a ridiculous ransom. read more

Your company just tows cars without authorization and illegally. Should be charged with grand theft auto. Recently came into a HOA community and towed a car and billed them wrongfully. Did it last year too towing multiple cars without authorization. Scum company and workers read more

They are dishonest. I suggest to avoid this business if possible. I was involved in a collision in San Francisco, and they showed up to tow the other vehicle involved in the accident. They offered their services to us and gave my husband a quote of $275 to tow our car to an auto body repair shop that my husband had selected 0.4 miles away. Unfortunately, we did not go with them or think to call the auto body shop to notify them of the quoted price, as we were busy talking to the police/insurance on the phone. When we got to the auto body shop maybe 30 minutes later, we found out they had charged the owner $330, which the owner had paid before we arrived and the cost was passed onto us. In the end, $55 isn't going to break us, but this is really unprofessional behavior. My husband has tried contacting them. If this doesn't work out, we plan to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Posted this same review on Google Maps. read more

Car pirates. Just scamming people pulling illegal tows, not following SFPD fee structure, refuse to give you required paperwork, etc etc etc. Avoid at all costs. read more

Beware of Auto Towing. They have agreements with Body Shops to take your car there after an accident instead of taking the vehicle to the City Yard. They took my car to Karry's Collision Center who tried to get me and sign waivers to repair my car right away without even letting me speak to my insurance company first. Do not let this Auto Towing company take your car to places you don't authorize! Clearly they're getting kickbacks from the body shops. read more

My van needed a tow to to have mechanical work done. The dispatcher was very kind and helpful when I had to cancel a tow truck on the way. The repair shop had no space to except the van until the next morning. The next morning the tow driver was fast friendly and efficient. He also did a great job backing the van into a tight space while navigating a busy city street. Turned out the shop could not fix the van which had a computer problem and I needed a second tow to the dealer. Same great service the second tow and the dispatcher gave me a great discount for much longer distance. That was very much appreciated during a very frustrating event. I definitely recommend using their services! read more

My car was stuck in mud early in the morning. While I give Auto Towing credit for responding to the call fast, I feel like the company is a scam. The tow driver charged me 700$ for using a winch to pull my truck out of mud onto the street (15-20ft). I did not need any towing, just getting the car out of the mud. Average costs for winch services are 50$-250$ (Google). The driver was trying to scare me into buying his services, mentioning warnings such as there is no other tow drivers available anywhere in the city for at least 6 hours, telling me my car was unusable and needs to be towed (i declined, it drove fine right after), and that my truck has received damage from the mud. I got my truck inspected today, no damage. I had no choice but to pay the 700$ to get home. I have contacted the company attempting to see a detailed report of why I was charged 700$ / some cash compensation and have not received a response yet. After looking at other reviews, it seems like my issue will not be resolved and that my suspicions of a scam were correct. Regardless, I will update my review if the company attempts to resolve this issue. read more

After getting two flat tires on a friend's car, I needed a quick tow to SF Toyota on Geary. I tried calling another business who was going to charge me a $250 flat rate, and couldn't get me for a couple of hours. I asked Toyota for a recommendation and they referred me to Auto Towing. Juan came to pick me up within 30 minutes from my original call, and it was only $100 from near Dolores Park to SF Toyota on Geary. I'm surprised they have such low ratings because I found them to be fast, reliable and cost effective. Thanks again to Juan and the rest of the Auto Towing team. I would definitely use them again! read more

Ameer towed my 2005 Acura MDX without lifting the rear tires or putting the vehicle on a flatbed truck. The vehicle was towed to a shop with cameras showing the vehicle being towed with only the front two wheels up. I've asked for a refund for the tow since there was damage from towing an AWD vehicle without properly doing so. The tower also didn't give me a receipt and denied towing my vehicle. Its 2019, there are cameras everywhere. Even my home have cameras and now that theres Ring, how can anyone lie about things like this? good thing the shop have cameras and I've already reported this to the BBB. All I've asked for is a refund for the tow. It's been over a month and if the refund is not received by January, I will have my attorney buddies involved for vehicle repairs. These guys are horrible at customer service especially when they know are at fault. A simple tow refund now could cause them having them repair my vehicle. I've talked to Jose, Oscar, Abby I believe who is the receptionist, and their supervisor. They all have lied about my refund and they have terrible customer service. I will not stop until this gets resolved; its not the money that matters but how they lie and treat customers after knowing and owning fault. read more

One of their drivers backed into my car. Lied to Kay about his insurance and the company is playing cat/mouse whether he's on their insurance or has his own. Literally blowing this off. Do not support tow truck companies that wreck stuff then try to skirt responsibility. Terrible.... read more

The absolute worst, sketchiest tow yard on earth. Customer service is dismal. There were 3 large dogs off leash. No warning signs. One dog left scratches trying to jump up the drivers side I was in. Of course the employee on-site denies this her problem because "it's not her dog" which she did not disclose while we were there. She called to tell me this after I'd left and she'd had time to make up a story. She was calling them by name and trying to get them behind the gate once she saw one had left scratches. Right..not your dog. Regardless, it's on your property and you're addressing them like you are responsible for them. Thankfully my partner isn't afraid of dogs because they were jumping all over him too. They later called my cell phone with 2 people over speaker phone telling me it's not their problem and they don't know who's dogs they are. Obviously a total lie and sad attempt at covering themselves. Why call and rudely deny things without ever showing concern, unless you're actually guilty and trying to cover up more. If you are triggered by dogs or looking for business that runs it's property safely, 100% go elsewhere. There was not once ounce of concern on the business's end. We tried to reason with them but will most likely have to make a police report for insurance purposes. Let me be clear I love dogs and this is not the dogs fault. I wish no ill will on them. It's bad owners that don't take responsibility for the countless things that could happen when you have loose dogs on the property. And a place of business should be held liable for what happens on their premises. read more

These people are beyond... I think you know what I'm going to say, otherwise yelp would flag this review. They say they'll be out and follow up, but never do, and then when you try to follow up with them, they send you to voicemail. Please do not waste your precious time or money on this terribly owned and mismanaged company. Literally, go or call anywhere else in the world, and you would find better service. read more

Towed my large vehicle at a fraction of the price of other tow companies. Very quick service, arrived in about 20 minutes. Juan was very patient and helpful while I had a minor breakdown crying fit. Will be suggesting to others. read more

To echo what another reviewer wrote, these folks are complete scam artists. They towed our car that was hit while parked and took advantage that the first person on the scene didn't speak english very well. They told her that they were taking it to a body shop but instead drove it to several locations (charging for an additional tow each time) plus storage because the body shop was closed. For us, they said storage was $200 (up from the $150 they quoted the other reviewer). The body shop said Auto Towing actually marked down two days of storage ($400) but they had the car less than 24 hours. Turns out insurance will pay per calendar day so the towing company knew that they could add in the additional fee for no reason. Similar to what they did with the other reviewer. Just some light insurance fraud for you. The total bill was $900. When I asked how they reached this number the tow guy said "why do you care, insurance will pay for it anyway" - so basically they know they can mark up their rates because insurance will cover. Then I asked again to break down the charges for me and the guy just stammered and couldn't give me legitimate answers. Finally he hung up on me and wouldn't pick up when I called back. Will be reporting this company to the BBB, insurance companies and any other relevant agencies. I highly recommend calling a different tow company if these folks show up for you. read more

They were excellent!! My car was towed due to being in front on a driveway and the Man and Abigail helped me get my vehicle within 30 minutes. Okay hen I got to my car everything was there and they were very respectful, helped me in every way! It also wasn't that much VERY REASONABLE and AFFORDABLE! I look forward to using their devices in the future for ANY auto tows or troubles. THANK YOU AUTO TOW !! read more

My husband and I just got towed from San Francisco to Santa Clara and we were amazed by the service provided by Oscar and the Auto Towing team. (He has even gotten me out of my Yelp review hiatus!) While we were on the phone with our insurance and credit card companies for how to proceed with towing, my mom graciously called around the SF area and got in contact with Auto Towing. Oscar picked up and quickly responded to action, informing her that he was going to be on his way toward us regardless so that we could avoid any other accidents or police issues while on the side of the road. He quoted us a fair price, he had us ride alongside him in his back seat toward our mechanic back home (South Bay) which saves us from an Uber/Lyft ride. Overall 5 star service. Our quotes (and other quotes for their services, like flat tire, etc) are very reasonable. They accept cash and credit cards (which we used for insurance and reimbursement purposes). If my car ever breaks down in the SF area, they will be the first ones I call! Thanks again, Oscar! read more

Last night I was towed by Oscar, this driver was speedy in his arrival, truck was very clean and he was very friendly. After a very tramatic accident, I was extremely relieved that this driver and his willingness to help me figure out what to do, with his very friendly advise, in a moment where I could not think clearly, he went out of his way to make the experience above and beyond for me and my kids, I highly recommend this driver. read more

Unprofessional rude drove around with my car attached to his truck parked my car in a bus zone then asked me to put the car in neutral myself because he didn't feel like doing it again left my car window down and in neutral the company only wanted to know how I would be making a payment cash or card another employee came n he didn't make the situation any better . I had to walk to where this ass hole was and he was putting my card in a bus zone never do business with this company on Underwood I was by myself ( black women) read more

Juan was great and efficient. Thank you so much for the help. He deserves a hefty raise. Great service

After waiting for over 4 hours and 7 calls for AAA to rescue us even suggesting we leave our car and deal with it the next day, we decided to call for our own tow. It's now midnight I called these angels and they were hooking my car up for a tow in less than 30 minutes and towed our car almost 40 miles away. Thank you for the fast response and the late night rescue. Ugo Thank You! read more

When my car's alternator went out I called AAA to get a tow and they just left me hanging for 5 HOURS with an occasional robocall about someone being there in 30 minutes but that "someone" never came and AAA finally called and said the first tow company had to cancel they would have to call another company. I didn't bother with them, I called Auto Towing and they really were there in 30 minutes, towed me home and even parked my disabled car for me. Extremely professional and courteous. read more

I had a tow from 40th and Fulton to 579 South Van Ness. When we got to 579, it was the wrong address and the driver got mad, which was stupid because the actual address was only down the street. When we got down the street (to 501 south van ness, which was actually a mechanic I needed to take a newly bought car to) they decided not to take the car. Simply because. So we had to go all the way back to 40th & Fulton. And I was charged up front. (Both times) The thing is the driver helped me find a mechanic, down the street (at 351 S. van ness) The company had kept the $175 fee, just because the tow was two blocks down from where had initially been planned. Cheated. read more

I want to thank Ugo for sticking around (with his family in the car, no less!) at the scene of a really intense accident on International Boulevard in Oakland where my car was totaled. When the tow truck I called was taking forever to arrive, Ugo offered to tow and charged me a fair price. Thanks Ugo! read more

I've never called for a tow in my life except for recently to get a friend's car. I called back in 10 minutes and cancelled and was able to get the car home. My credit card was charged $250 and somebody named Juan or Chris said the charge was reversed immediately after receiving cancellation-we're talking a 10 minute lapse of time between 1st call and 2nd call to cancel. No credit on the card; each time I called whoever answered the phone said oh yeah I'll have so and so call you back-no call back. No truck was dispatched-so obviously no tow. read more

These guys just ripped me off. Had an accident on Saturday night in the city, they offered to store the car until Monday morning and then take it to the body shop in South City. Asked how much it would be, the driver named Eduardo said $150 per day of storage and $500 for the tow, total $800. That's already a lot but the cops were pressuring to get the car off the street asap so I said fine. When they towed the car to the body shop today, the bill was $1200 - looks like they charged for 3 days of storage and additional $250 for the tow. What an effing ripoff. read more

Great experience with Auto Towing! Juan was able to get to me and tow my car all under 45 min on a busy Monday morning. Towed me to a local mechanic in the bay view for $90 (take advantage of the yelp check in). Would definitely recommend to friends and family! read more

While my girlfriend was shopping at Safeway off of Mission, a tow truck driver had hitched her car. She was able to be there in the nick of time to show the driver her receipt. The driver said, "my bad" and detached her car from the hitch. He claimed that he didn't realize that she was shopping in Safeway. Upon the tow truck driver departing the lot, two witnesses approached my girlfriend to show her the extensive damages that the tow truck did to her trunk of her car. There was a massive hole left behind. The driver never mentioned that he had damaged the car. She called the tow truck company's number posted in the signage in the Safeway parking lot. Another tow truck driver arrived. He gave us all of this shady information and told us to call so and so to get the car repaired. We did; they never returned our calls. This happened last month in the middle of a pandemic! We had to go through our insurance to get the vehicle repaired. This company cannot be trusted. They are taking advantage of people and illegally towing vehicles. read more

May sister car got tow in Safeway. Before my sister car got tow. I already there. The guy told me I'm just gonna pay for 125$ for him to just drop the car and not gonna be tow.and few mins. Later somebody towing car guy ask me if I'm the owner of the car I sed my sister car. Now change everything. You need to be owner of the car to be drop off the car. So you guys have that policy? We pay 378$ in the towing company instead of 125$ .you guys are corrupt read more
