My car broke down on route 80. BDJ towing arrived within 15min and helped me out with the car right away. The driver was really nice and friendly and he hooked me up with a really good mechanic. I would recommend this company to my friends! read more

my car weighs 3500lbs tried to force me to pay $450 in towing fees, when his own sign said cars under 4000lbs $250. Complete scam artist. Almost had to call the cops, I had a small Van and tried to bully me into paying more. kept telling me to read the sign, when he doesn't even know his own sign. read more

This was one of the worst and most upsetting experiences I've ever had. As soon as you leave your car at the McDonald's on 3rd Ave, they tow it immediately. The two men were extremely disrespectful and aggressive. As a woman standing there alone with two tow truck drivers, I felt very uncomfortable and intimidated. They would not answer the phone and claimed the business was "closed," forcing us to wait with no communication. They demanded cash only, gave no receipt, and refused to provide their names. They also would not allow us to remove money or personal belongings from the vehicle. The car was not even at a proper towing facility -- it was parked at what looked like an auto shop, not a legitimate towing storage location. The police had to get involved because of how unprofessional and difficult they were being. Even after paying $250, they continued arguing and giving us a hard time. No professionalism, no transparency, and no respect. I would strongly warn others to be careful. read more

This company is running an outright scam. They are notorious for predatory towing and it feels like legalized car theft. I stepped out of my car for less than 10 minutes, and when I came back it was already gone. I had my bag and wallet inside, so I rushed to their lot immediately--and the whole situation felt like extortion. This wasn't a 'tow' in any reasonable sense. This was aggressive, opportunistic, and clearly done to trap people into paying ridiculous fees. The way they operate is shady, unethical, and should be investigated. They should not be allowed to continue taking advantage of people like this. I hope they are held accountable for what they're doing. read more

I had an extremely frustrating and unacceptable experience with BDJ Towing. My car was towed from the Paterson McDonald's parking lot while I briefly stepped away to run a quick errand, fully intending to return and purchase a meal. When I got back, they were in the process of towing my vehicle--but it wasn't even hooked up yet. Despite this, the driver refused to release my car. Instead of showing any understanding or basic courtesy, they were belligerent, dismissive, and completely unwilling to listen. Their behavior was unprofessional and unnecessarily aggressive. This situation appears to be a clear violation of the New Jersey Predatory Towing Prevention Act (N.J.S.A. 56:13-7 et seq.), which mandates that a towing company must release a vehicle if the owner returns before it is fully removed, subject only to a reasonable "drop fee." I was never offered this option. I strongly encourage anyone who has had a similar experience to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the New Jersey Department of Consumer Affairs. It is very easy to file a complaint online. BDJ has been engaging in these kinds of practices for years and has already faced scrutiny and judgements from these organizations in the past. Filing a complaint helps hold them accountable. Overall, this was a deeply negative experience. I would strongly caution others to be aware of their rights and to think twice if dealing with BDJ Towing and their abhorrent staff. read more

This company is running a racket. I made an honest mistake parking for under 5 mins. They pretended to tow my car (so the cameras could catch it) and towed it across the lot. Then he shook me down for $150 in cash promising a receipt. The driver made me leave the lot and meet him on the corner for it where he took my license and copied my personal info for a receipt he didn't end up having. It was a terrifying experience, not to mention illegal. The business owner hung up on me and then wouldn't take my calls. read more

they will wait for you to get out your car and tow you immediately even when you're not parked illegally they need to be out of business

This is a corrupt business. I parked at McDonald's for 4 mins, they towed my car and demanded 250 cash and wouldn't offer any receipt. They just sit near car parks and tow anyone. There will be a scout at every location they cover, that is how they can tow you with a few mins. It's just another form of robbing people. read more

BDJ Towing company only accept cash when they releasing a vehicle. It is terreble that the company is violating the rule. Under New Jersey's Predatory Towing Prevention Act (N.J. S.A. 56:13-7 et seq.) towing companies must accept multiple forms of payment, including credit cards or debit cards, when releasing a vehicle read more

Predators. They wait for you to go and get you as soon as your out of sight. I went off parking lot property for less than 4 min, came back to the parking lot, entered the business and got myself food. When I came out with the food, I was already getting jacked. Thank god for the people of Wendy's for vouching for me and taking care of me. It was my mistake. Watch of for their towing signs. Seriously. No remorse. Although they did drop it from 150$ to 100$ so thanks i guess. read more

B D J Towing - Towing Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

My family and I normally park at a local business over the weekend and when the company is closed. We have even received permission from the owner. There was no sign, no anything that said we couldn't park there. We were surprised to find out our cars were gone, no sign to tell us, if we were towed, where to pick up our cars. They held our cars hostage until we came up with CASH, they would not accept credit. They are scammers and no one seems to be holding them accountable for what they are doing. read more

Predators. If you're lucky and catch the driver in time, they tell you to call the number on the sign (out of sight of the parking spot) & the receptionist gives you a price to unjack the car. When you are able to get the cash from the conveniently placed ATM and come back, the driver calls the receptionist back and they tell him "add an extra hundred" We were able to get away with only a $200 fee because my boyfriend called her out about lying on the phone because he speaks Spanish Driver didn't even say bye. Lol read more

This is the dirtiest company I've ever encountered. They towed my car out of a parking spot as I was walking towards it and said I had to pay to get it back. They then told me that they will drive up to the side of the road to talk to me so they could let cars pass but instead drove off. They did not tell me where they were taking my car or asked if I need a ride. Dispatch will not answer my calls either. read more

If I can do no stars I would. This is a horrible business. Throwing numbers at me just because, maybe it has to do with my gender, maybe they just wanted to take advantage. Either way, the price is $250 and he told me it was $290, so make it make sense. He would not settle for the price on the sign until I gave him his $290. What a shame. Un negocio muy feo. Then he wanted to give me his business card to help me fix my car. NO WAY! read more

I was in line in Wendy's Patterson when I've seen my car being towed, they are horrible people, they don't listen, they just wait for making easy money, I will fight this because it has to be illegal clearly (as other person that was there told me that she had the same situation and she got her money back) They stole more than $160 in a second. Shame on you BDJ Towing! read more

fucking scammers . no receipt only cash. Big scam going on. People are rude and when you call them they will not answer clearly at all.

Predatory towers. Towed my car after seven minutes from Wendy's. No way in HELL all these ppl complaining about the same thing. Nothing honest about these SAVAGES. well you got the right one now cause I'm not stopping. I have two receipts. It's on! ​ read more

horrible!! they towed my car from Wendy's parking lot . I call them to get the address of where to pick up my car and the guy was so rude on the phone asking if I know how to read since I guess the address is on a sign in the parking and wouldn't give me the address . By the way these signed are posted 30 ft above your head on the top of the light poles . they dented my front bumper they said it was there prior which it was not and that they have pictures . in the pictures their machine was already on my car!! so clearly they dented it . they charged me $450 to get my own car back! they said because my car was heavier then 4000 lbs when most cars are $250. I sat in wendys to wait for a ride and I watched them in cahoots with the Wendy's security guard by them sending each other pictures of cars to tow . scammers!!! read more

horrible company, scammers, charge only cash , should be out of business, no atm, rude people.

Worst towing company. I was parked for less than 30 mins in a Wendy's in paterson and my car was towed immediately. I called right away to get my car back and was told if I had cash they would give me my car right away otherwise I had to wait for the manager which they claimed to be 10 mins away. Almost an hour later the manager finally arrived. what type of towing company is this? Please have more employees if y'all going to tow cars left and right. read more

most unprofessional set of workers they steal people scarred out of business parking lot, customers car, and they tell customers that the business call towing truck company when the business did not they are very unprofessional, and I would not suggest anyone to do any type of business with them read more

I shopped inside and when I went out I didn't have a car. The owner called the tow truck and had my car towed. They are committing fraud by having a contract with the tow truck company. I walked for 40 minutes in the cold and they gave me my car in exchange for $250 cash. I will complain about you. read more

I wonder how the people who work for this company live with themselves. They have people watching empty and poorly marked parking lots at night, just waiting for someone to park. When they do, they pounce with as many tow trucks as necessary to take all the cars at once. That is no coincidence. They have your vehicle ready to take away in minutes. If you come running, ready and able to move the car, they demand $250 to release your vehicle. It is legal extortion. If you don't pay because you cannot get to an ATM without your car, they tow the car to Paterson and then charge you the $250 plus $50 more for the overnight storage because, conveniently, the lot is closed at night. God forbid you are stuck over a weekend. That would be another $100. Their actions are very close to the line of being illegal without crossing it. read more

300 parked my mamajanas because I was told to by the restaurant staff and came out my car was towed by this company and they charged me 300 to get my car read more

Horrible, conniving company. Without warning they towed my car in the infamous McDonalds parking lot across RISE Paterson. i was in line for less than 10 mins. my car was taken, the sign CLEARLY says 250$ to take the car back. I was charged 300$ and they only took cash! If that wasn't sketchy enough, when taking my car back they didn't check for ANY credentials. no license, no insurance card, no anything. They just took my cash and let me take the car, I could have been a random person stealing that car and they couldn't care less. This unethical company should be shut down as soon as possible ! read more

PREDATORY TOWING PRACTICES HOW IS THIS EVEN LEGAL. If you reading this you probably got screwed at Rise Paterson. Small parking lot so everyone needs to park at Mcdonalds.

Then when they finally dropped my car off to rhe correcr autoshop they misplaced the car keys!!!! The guy louis was rude and barely spoke english! HOT MESS avoid this company if you can!!!! read more

They don't pay their bills and even owe Advance Auto Parts on parts they purchased. Not a good risk.

Had my experience with them today and need to share the dishonesty behind their practices. I called my insurance company as my car broke down next to the highway while I had my two kids, my mom, and another child with us. They were dispatched and kept saying 15 minutes, 30 minutes and this went on until it reached nearly 2 hours. I had to call the police to be escorted safely since we were not safe at all. It was obvious to me that they take as many jobs as they can to ensure they have a plan b to make money off people's safety. This company truly needs to be reported and I will be going to the BBB. I contacted the insurance company to tell them about today and they agreed with me. This company has no regard to the safety of the people reliant on their service. Truly unethical. Do not call them. read more

Best Company Ever They Are Quick And Respectful I Appreciate There Work! They Are The Best Towing Company Around Paterson

This is a very unethical and dishonest company. They work with New Jersey Manufacturers as a towing company. NJM provides "free" road side assistance as part of our policy. this company is located in Paterson NJ. My husband's car was in Bogota when he called for a tow to Hackensack (1.7 miles). this company charged him $150 for the tow because they were the "3rd" company NJM called and therefore we have to pay for the tow. this was not told to him before the car was on the flatbed. his car was essentially held hostage until they got their money. my husband called NJM and the dispatcher who told him he would be responsible for $75 after NJM paid their half of the bill. he was handed a charge (not itemized) for $80.25 and the driver would not release the car without payment. we are now disputing the charge with NJM and BDJ Towing. when we had AAA in the past you knew exactly what the charge would be PRIOR to the car being moved. there was a mileage grace (at least 5 miles) before the meter started ticking. DO NOT EVER let these crooks tow your car. if they show up send them away immediately. they will rob you blind. it's price gougers like this that give small business a bad name. read more
