..I had Bill's tow my truck to get a new starter..the dispatcher told me my wait would be 90 minutes..well Bill's showed up in just under an hour..(which is something that can sometimes be "hit and miss" when you need a tow) Unfortunately there was some damage from the way the truck was secured..it happens (shrugs) The folks at Bill's really got everything taken care of..and fast. They got my truck to an AUTHORIZED Ford mechanic, not "Zeke up on the corner." It took about 2 hours and my truck is as good as new! A big "thanks" and GOOD JOB to John, Amy and everybody else at Bill's towing for not letting this be a giant pain in the neck! read more

never work with those scammers they only focus on money. The lady at the front desk sucks. So rude and unprofessional

Extremely poor quality, extremely poor Value. The building is unsafe and falling apart the yard is uneven and not good for cars that have to get out on there own, just really poor place, shut them down please and thank you. read more

A driver from Bill's Towing drove down my lane and used my cement driveway for a turn around. And when his flatbed truck left black tire marks all over my driveway, the owner of Bill's Towing refused to take responsibility for his driver's mistake. All I wanted was my driveway power washed but Bill's Towing ghosted me. This is not my usual experience with Petaluma businesses. I'm still surprised that he treated my honest request this way. read more

The first time I called, they said they would have a driver out in 45 minutes. I waited over an hour before calling back. Driver said he would be here in 15 minutes. 30 minutes later, no sign of him, so I called again, and he said he would be here in 2 minutes. 15 minutes later, nothing, so I called the dispatcher, and she sent someone else - and he was here in 15 minutes. So the second driver - his name was John - gets a 5 star review for his prompt, professional service. The first driver, I hope you never get stuck with him! Dispatcher also deserves 5 stars! read more

They responded to my wife's accident to tow our totaled new vehicle. They were in seeing that the vehicle contents were secure and when the time to release the vehicle to the insurance company they made the proses painless. read more

Never forgot the worse experience we had for a towing, had to meet my niece from another city so I took about 15 minutes longer then they did to get to destination. Driver decided they were going to bill another hour on top of delivery. Unprofessional & knew they were being dirty. Paid dues whatever, have some integrity dude, you run a business act like it. Hopefully you go under with illegal practices like this. Time stamp was stated an hour after arrival by the way. read more

The employees were very kind and courteous. The men in the back where the wrecked cars are were especially helpful and kind. They helped unload all my belongings from my car and loaded them into my rental without me even asking. I had been dreading this task and they lightened the worry I had that say. read more

If I could give them a zero I would. This plaace is absolutely terrible. Rude customer service and very rude employees! The guy was literally yelling at me so aggressively and being so rude. His exact words "next time I'm going to "f*cking tow your ass. Stop wasting my f*cking time" I started balling my eyes out after I left. This guy is so rude I hope this business either fires him or does something about how their employees treat people. read more

In August, Tacoma Police had a family member's vehicle that was involved in a tragic, devastating car versus motorcycle fatality accident towed by Bill's towing and to their tow yard. We were told it would be there as "evidence" , until prosecutors office could review for potential charges- none were ever filed. Detective on the case said to call Bill's Towing biweekly to inquire if hold was lifted since they don't usually call you when it's lifted but you get a letter in the mail (which could take days, while vehicle incurs storage charges.) This was much to Bill's Towing staff's chagrin, a self-described " family-owned business with sound principles." When we would call for status updates and provide info, we'd be met with loud sighs, put on long holds or just major attitude, so exceptionally unprofessional. They are a storage yard; they should expect status update calls! In late October, Detective called back and said the case was "now on the prosecutor's radar and they were aware of it" meaning that someone had clearly dropped the ball in reviewing case. He recommended also calling Bill's Towing still to check in. Fast forward to early January, almost 5 months after car accident and Detective called at 10:00 am to say the hold was lifted on vehicle and could be picked up. He said there was no charges as driver was not being charged with a crime and TPD would cover the fees, aka the taxpayers would be covering the exorbitant fees. I called Bill's towing and was told that it might not be able to be picked up that day because they were "busy with an auction" and I said I was picking it up anyway because I don't want to have to pay ridiculous storage fees, so she said to "call back in 3 hours." Called back in 3 hours and spoke to a very, very rude man. I asked if vehicle started or had flat tires since it had been sitting for almost 5 months and so I could prep for pickup. His answer was "it's on all 4 wheels, that's all I'm required to tell you". He then said I had to be there at least 30 minutes prior to closing to do paperwork and that I had to pay the impound fee. I told him I would be there at least 30 minutes prior to closing if they wanted to get vehicle ready. I arrived at 4:10 (they close at 5) and they buzzed me into lobby. Lady started pulling up the info then decided to answer the phone and have a chit chat with caller for several minutes while my daughter and I stood there. Super classy. After paying the $261.41 impound fee, she told my young daughter and me to wait outside in the front and they'd bring out car. It was freezing, dark and pouring rain with no cover and the guys working in the yard were standing around. Finally, 10 + minutes later a forklift comes out and pays musical cars, ripping the bumper off one of them and hitting another, seemingly not a care in the world and disrespectful to people's property. At about 20 minutes our vehicle was brought out on forklift and parked, more like wedged, between two huge trucks in a carport front end butted up against a building. Vehicle was dead and had 2 flat tires. Not one person, who witnessed my young daughter and me trying to figure out how to get jumper cables to reach car, offered to help with jumping it or putting air in tires or relocating it so cables would reach or anything. They had several tow trucks there that I presume had jump boxes and tools to air up tires? We were treated like garbage, it was appalling. Since the jumper cables were not long enough to reach the battery due to how they parked our vehicle, we had to wait for an employee's truck to leave about 45 minutes later to then maneuver my vehicle to get it close enough to jump. Was then able to also air up tires. I have never been treated so poorly by a company- with their attitudes on the phone, in person and just overall hostile environment. They must get enough business from Tacoma Police Department to not have to care how they treat their customers or want repeat business. I was polite every time I called, I showed up with ample time, paid the fees and stood there patiently and this is the "customer service" I received. I am also sharing my experience with Tacoma Police in hopes they maybe look for a different company that treats people kindly and not like we're a thorn in their side. After all isn't it really the taxpayers footing the bill when vehicles of innocent people are held? We should not be supporting a business like this one. read more

My car was stolen and I immediately reported to the police. I was told by police that when they found it I could come pick it up and not have it impounded. Two days later the police called me saying that my car was found but had already been towed and impounded by Bill's Towing. When I called Bill's the woman on the phone was incredibly unprofessional and rude. Kept making me go on hold and interrupting me constantly. When she asked me what I wanted to do about my car I told her that I wanted to come pick it up from their lot. She told me that I could do that if the car would start but if it can't start that I would have to get it towed out of their lot by another company because Bill's would not do it. She then told me that I would have to pay a whole days holding fee even though I was just notified that my car was even there. She then told me I would have to pay an "after hours" fee since they technically weren't open even though she was there answering the phone. When I started asking about these fees she just straight up hung up on me! I ended up having to pay almost $500 just to get my stolen car back that I didn't even know was running or not once I got there. In person the lady from the phone call was just as rude and her customer service was horrible. I asked her why I was being charged for a whole day holding fee when they just received my car. She then proceeded to tell me that they actually had my car in their lot since the day before at 8am! When I asked why I or the police wasn't notified that my car was there for a whole day already she couldn't give me an answer. They kept my car that was registered as stolen on their lot for a whole day and a half before notifying the police or the owner of the vehicle! I think they just kept it there without telling anyone so that they could charge those extra fees. They left my smashed window open to the weather outside the whole time so now the entire interior of my car is soaked. At least the guy outside was generous enough to jump start the dead battery so I could get it out of there. Almost thought they were going to charge me for that too hahaha. Long story short, if you can avoid it, don't deal with this place or the people that work here. It was insanely unprofessional and they just want to keep your car there as long as possible to rack up your bill! They don't care if you actually get your car back or not as long as they are making as much money off you as possible. If i could give them a zero star rating I would! read more

Bill's towing towed my car from scene after an accident, initially to insurance approved garage. Upon arrival, garage said can't get to car for 2.5 months. Me to Bill's Towing driver: please let me get back with my insurance to find a more suitable garage, I'll be right back. Driver: sure, I'll wait. Me: get on phone with insurance and return 10-12 min later. Driver: gone, taking my car to who knows where and without obtaining any of my information or giving me his details. Poor, poor, poor customer service. read more

I think Yelp should stop making us give companies even one star- doesn't feel like they've earned even that . I was in a car accident and Tboned by another driver .i was originally transported to the hospital by ambulance . we had to figure out where my car was taken so that we could retrieve the items out. let me start with the fact that my car was rummaged through and stuff was taken . when we went to get our stuff the guy that was playing tetris with the cars saw us and continued to ignore us . finally my husband went to the office and told them the cars are too close and our vehicle is at the very back of the lot ... can you pull it out... after waiting another 20 min the car wasn't out and I was over it. we decided to come back the next day and the lady the sits at the desk in the back was an utter Fu(k Nut- if this is how the city of Tacoma does business and allows this to happen even after multiple complaints-then Tacoma community knows exactly we're we stand and we are screwed . if your ever in an accident please see if you can call your own tow company because these piss ants aren't providing a service ... read more

My car was stolen on fathers day and was recovered by Tacoma police. The police notified me that my vehicle was at Bills towing so I went down to retrieve it. The employee Mark (tow driver) was the most insulting asshole that I have ever encountered representing a company. He was egregiously rude and completely unprofessional and inconsiderate. The guy talks to people like they should already know the answers to questions. We exchanged words because I wouldn't take his shit I payed my fee and left. Fuck this place. read more

They owner stepped in and issued a $175 refund. Thank you very much but it really didn't need to go as far as the BBB. We were also told the female worker who screamed at us was "fired!" Thank God! Thankfully the owner listened to the phone call between us and the recording and YUP we were "telling the truth about this nasty woman we had to deal with!" Advice: I can sympathize that these companies get a lot of shit said to them but that was not our case. We were victims of theft not an illegally parked vehicle being towed. Next time make sure your employees handle these situations in a professional manner and if they can't then let then go! I updated my review to be fair to your company since you decided to do the right thing. Thank you! read more

The office person is inconsistent with what she tells you, shes rude, puts ya on hold forever. My car was stolen and I was supposed to be notified before being towed did not happen, I was out of state when this happened they would not take my credit card over the phone. They told me my price would go up after 11: 47 and there was nothing they could do about it. They me like I was the criminal, not the victim the most upsetting experience I have had to deal with. Ruined my whole vacation. What happen to customer service and why should i have to pay to get my stolen car out of impound? read more

My car was towed after an accident. They were terrible with communicating with my insurance. Had made excuses for not towing to my auto shop, leaving my vehicle with an outrageous fee. Very unprofessional and unethical. read more

Thank you for saving my day! My car door lock malfunctioned when I got out to scrape the ice of my windows. So I was left with a locked running car. I called 2 places that both quoted me 45 to 60 minuts wait times. Bill's came right away, the driver could not have been nicer. I wish I had got his name, but he was in and out in just a few minutes. Thanks again you're the best read more

Long story short my husband and I were hit on the freeway last weekend causing us to crash into the median and end up on top of it totalling our new truck. In effort to clear the freeway the state patrol called Bills Towing to the scene to remove our vehicle, unfortunately! My husband asked the driver if he would take the truck to our home only 3 miles from the scene and the driver agreed! They shook on a rate of $170/hr which totaled $170 my husband was to pay after the driver uloaded our truck at home. He was facing the wrong way on the freeway so had to turn his truck around and said that he would get our address after doing so! Once facing the right way he rolled his window down and yelled, "Go to Bill's" and drove off with our truck in tow! We were appalled! Alreadyvin shock from the horrendous freeway accident the last thing we want is to be lied to and taken advantage of. We called the business immediately only to be treated worse. It is no exaggeration when say thar we received the absolute worst customer service I have ever witnessed! We ended up paying $470 for them to allow AAA(proud members) to tow our totalled truck home. Stay away from these guys! read more

The employees at this business are very inconsiderate and rude. Our car was towed with no notice and when we got confirmation on where it had gone, we called Bills Towing. The women on the phone could care less about our stress and concern and could hardly speak clearly. Once we arrived the two front desk women gave us no information on when we could pick up the car and was very condescending. read more

Rude front office staff & hostile man who appeared to be the owner. Driver was kind and apologetic for the other a-holes, but still was a very unpleasant experience. I don't care about the money or the inconvenience. What I do care about is being treated with courtesy & respect. Both are lacking here. Don't use this company. read more

Our car was involved in an accident. The tow truck driver was there incredibly quickly and got our vehicle loaded onto the flatbed expertly. He was polite and swept all the debris from the roadway and took it along with our vehicle. When we went to the lot to retrieve the contents of the vehicle, the entire staff were very helpful and kind. They helped to brighten a challenging day! read more

They are very dependable and careful with other peoples property. I recently bought a scissor lift and had to pick it up in Kent. The driver showed up on time to pick me up and take me down to where I had to get it from. He was patient during the few minutes of negotiating prior to loading it up and he was very careful as he loaded and unloaded it at my facility. I have also used them on several other occasions and I have always been happy with their service read more

Wonderful company to deal with in my opinion. They were quick and responsive and handled my needs 100%. Eddie was an excellent driver that clearly knows what he is doing with his flatbed - I was beyond satisfied with this service. I will use them again for sure! read more

the worst tow company you could ever use most expensive and they will steal your vehicle don't ever use them

So grateful for.Bills towing. My car broke down today and they took care of me. Everywhere else I called quoted me 80 just to hook up then toll then per mile would have been well over $100. Bills was only 85 plus tax no surprises or extras. Jack got my car back quickly and took so much anxiety. read more

This is the first tow company my husband and I have had to use and I must say, it was a great experience. The truck driver was very friendly and have me his personal insight on the shop we were having our truck towed to, and their rate was cheaper than what we were expecting, having talked to other companies. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing roadside assistance! read more

Girl at front desk was quite rude for no reason.acted like we were in the wrong to be there at beginning of business hours.

Rude. Rude. Rude. When you speak with anyone here you can tell they are completely and solely money motivated. No matter what your circumstance, all they care about is collecting your cash. Even after they impound your totaled stolen car, fail to notify you that they have it and then sell it at auction...they send you to collection 7 months later demanding an additional $1000 for STORAGE!? read more

This seems to be the go-to towing company for Washington State Patrol. If you're in an accident and have the mental capacity to deal with it, ask WSP to NOT CALL BILLS TOWING. After my truck was towed they wouldn't even let me use the bathroom at the wrecking yard. I finally pounded on the door where some jerk off waved at me through the glass and I yelled that am their customer and I had to pee really bad. Maybe I'm reading into it, but locked doors all around the building (even the door with the open sign on it)and blatant disregard for the people who own the cars they tow tells me they are avoiding conversation with customers and have had to defend themselves from some pissed off people. So they lock the doors, avoid answering the phone, and just collect cars. Come to find out they had gotten rid of my truck before the insurance company had a chance to assess it. Vultures. They are a joke. There are a hundred other tow companies, Bills towing is close to I-5 and they're fast so I'm sure that's why state patrol uses them, WSP wants to keep the road open ultimately. You are the one that has to deal with them when the dust settles. Once they hook your car up, you're at their mercy. Just find a different company if you need a tow. read more

This company is sleazy. My teen was in an accident and his car was disabled. The cops called a tow and without saying a word the driver hooked up to his car and took it to their two yard. They didn't ask where he wanted the car towed. After accruing impound fees and storage fees along with the two fee I tried to reason with the manager. Even after she understood that they took advantage of a kid, they refused to reduce the fees. I would stay far away from this company. No integrity at all. read more

Warning! Do not use this company. Wrongfully charged for impound after sale of car. Not notified, then sent to collections. Rude staff specifically Angie and Amy. Were not willing to help contrary to phone message that they "Truly want to help". Don't be fooled. No big deal to them that I am out 638.76. Asked nicely person to person for help was treated like a bad person because I was never notified of any problem. read more

I was at the Lakewood Wendy's drive thru and Bill's towing Mac truck was a few vehicles behind me. While I was getting my food from the window the tow truck pulled out of line and onto the other side of me. The driver started screaming and cussing at the teenager working the take out window because his rig had been too big for their sensors to trigger their system. We are from out of town and had been told that Lakewood was not the place to be at night but this tow truck driver was by far the scariest part of our evening. I would never call Bill's towing... I'd rather be stranded on the Roadside in Lakewood than have this guy show up to "help". read more

Anyone giving this place 5 stars is a fraud. I had my 1979 BMW illegally dropped off in my alleyway by Bill's towing just to realize it had been completely totalled by improper tow handling. Torsion bar, steering rack and front and rear end links bent and completely blown out, tires wedged into fenders(unrollable). Front and rear valance body damage, exhaust smashed up, missing turn signal etc. The business is ran by the previous owners little brother John and it's obvious he's not interested in doing his job properly and caring for customers personal belongings. I understand most cars being impounded are going to a scrapyard but some of us still want to save our rides. I spent 1500$ dealing with these crooks just to get my car back smashed up. I suggest Kings towing they came and saved my day with a much nicer truck. If I could rate 0 stars I would. read more

Disappointed & upset with the service received. Whoever is running this business needs a serious slap in the face. Worst customer service. Hire new staff or shut this place down. read more

All I can tell you from personal experience is TRUST THE REVIEWS..not the very few, I believe it was 3 reviews that liked these guys, but do believe ALL the other ones because these guys are bad...unprofessional, greedy, and completely unfriendly. Believe each and every review, never use them if you can help it, there are some other very good tow companies in Tacoma, that are honest and professional. read more

All I know is that one of their trucks was driving like an absolute maniac on the freeway today and nearly caused an accident. He tailgated me so closely I was legitimately afraid to brake at all, and spent several miles bullying everyone around him. I would never trust these people with my vehicle if this is how they drive! Clearly have no regard for the safety of others around them on the road, why would they have any regard for my vehicle if it were attached to their truck? Glad I know this in advance of ever having the misfortune of calling them for a tow!! read more

Bill's Towing is the worst customer service provider that I have ever encountered. I felt like I was dealing with thugs that had recently switched from one side of the law to the other. The staff were not only rude, but also lied to us. The staff also lied to our insurance claims agent. The yard attendant bullied me and threatened to call the police and have me arrested when I asked if he would point out where our stolen car was in his lot, through the chain link fence, so that we could tell what condition the car was in. Our insurance claims agent paid extra to have a different towing company come and tow our car to a repair shop because of the staff's behavior. We paid the $240 impound charge to Bill's Towing for retrieving our stolen car from 4 miles away because we had no choice. But if you do have a choice, there are other companies, I am certain, that won't sic the "junk yard dog" on you when you come to pay them for their services. read more

I currently had my old vehicle towed by bills towing. When I went in over the weekend to pick up my belongs and sign the vehicle over not only was I rudely treated I was told that I would have to pay an 80.00 dollar fee ( something that could have been mentioned over the phone before driving in) to retrieve my belongings during off hours. I was also told that if I waited till Monday that I would have exceeded the 5 day time limit to sign my vehicle over in exchange for the storage fees. I reminded the employe that I was allotted within 5 days. Where she then was honest with me and corrected her self and said that I had until 11am on Monday to retrieve my belongings and sign my vehicle over. The following Monday when I did retrieve my things it was clear that someone had gone through my things, and my GPS was missing out of my vehicle while in their care. When I brought this to their attention I was told that it wasn't on the inventory. (so you did break into my vehicle and go through my vehicle!) They then refused to check any surveillance cameras when asked and asked me, "why would only your GPS be missing". Really! I don't know why people steel things, I am not in that buisness.... but what I do know is when my vehicle has been broken into while on the street that everything is taken, the stereo and anything that's not bolted down... and usually a window has been broken. Interesting that none of these signs were present and they refused to check their surveillance cameras! Hmmmmm... read more
