Thankfully, those companies didn't work out because as soon as I called Oscar Towing, I was given a flat rate up front. We had the pleasure of working with Jose, who set a time and was there as soon as possible. He communicated with me the entire trip so there was no guess work. Thank you, Jose! We appreciate the last-minute request and how you went above and beyond to ensure our car was delivered so quickly. Will definitely recommend Oscar Towing to friends and family and use in the future.

When I told him where my car was, he immediately knew the lay if the land and asked if it was on a hill or not. This is the type of experience and local knowledge that is important. He arrived very quickly, towed my car to the dealership, knew where to leave my car, knew the service people and actually went into their office and had one of them come out to start the repair process. It was my first time to the dealership so this was extremely helpful. Rate was reasonable. Cant recommend this company highly enough.

Instead of helping, they caused further damage to my vehicle. After the damage occurred, they refused to take any responsibility and attempted to blame it on my boyfriend, which is completely inaccurate. They had an inspector came and then he RIPPED THE FUEL DOOR OFF. The repairs are estimated to cost at least $600, yet they continue to deny the claim by simply stating they "follow policy." This experience was extremely frustrating and unprofessional. I would strongly caution others against trusting this unethical company with their vehicle.

He was visiting us when we got a call from her father who was put in the hospital back in Alabama and our son had to fly back and help him, and would return back for car as soon as he could. We left his car at the hospital parking lot where she notified security and hospital authority it was there. We just found out the car was towed by western towing in Oceanside. They don't have any information online to help find the car by vin or tag. None of the state resources pulled it up, no one from the hospital could tell us anything so that tells me that they violated California wrongful towing laws, primarily under Vehicle Code § 22658, forbid towing from private property without express written authorization from the property owner/agent, who must be present. I finally found the car after searching online for days, because I remembered I put a AirTag in it because it was his car. I believe they wrongfully removed the car because we had the hospital permission to park it there. Will be picking it up today 4/6/2026, asking for authorization form for towing and speaking to the lawyer this afternoon as well as filing bbb complaint.

Wouldn't be surprised if someone ends up sabotaging this place the way they treat people. One tip, anytime your car is towed don't give the shitty tow companies that satisfaction. ALWAYS pay with a credit card and then initiate a chargeback with your credit card company to get your money back. This will also cause the tow company to get charged a fee for the claw back and your credit card company will always side with their customer. Dont pay with cash or debit.
