We went to a fantastic concert at the SB Bowl last night and returned to our car with a fully flat tire. Marco came to our rescue!! He was professional, kind, courteous and knowledgeable. He let us know exactly what time he would arrive and called to apologize for a delay when he was detoured getting to our location. He really seemed to like his job and it showed. Wanted all at Bob Holzer know they have an exceptional employee Thanks, Rita and David read more

Driver 'Ben' came out to change a tire for me. I'm a senior gal who is clueless when it comes to how a car works! Ben was so helpful and a great communicator. He was extremely punctual and efficient with his service. With the clear instructions he gave me regarding my spare tire, I was able to safely get myself to the tire shop for a new tire. 'Thank you, Ben!' read more

Had the pleasure of being helped by Ray. He had arrived to tow my truck in under ten minutes, it was unreal. Extremely quick at getting it towed and bringing it to a shop. Very sociable and a kind guy, really seemed to enjoy his job and is very good at it. After dropping off my truck he even brought me back to my house with no additional charge. Ray was extremely professional and I would hope that other people can have the same experience as I did, thanks again! read more

Holzer replaced a battery in our 40 yr. old P/U on 3/31/26. The battery wouldn't hold a charge I called Holzer and they sent a tech named "Jack" out to replace that one. He not only replaced that battery, but replaced the terminal, cleaned them both and replaced with new rods holding the battery brace. The old brace was worn out, so he bought a new one and used those posts for the brace. He was knowledgeable, skilled ,pleasant and very accommodating. Highly recommend Holzer towing!

Always a great experience with this tow company. The techs have been very helpful and personable. Thank you for the many tows.

Well, it was my fault. I listened to the computer and it said I had 50 more miles. WRONG! Always remember the golden rule. Be on the ground with an hour of fuel left in your wing tanks. Same for cars, even BMW's. 77 years old, and I run out of fuel, with a car full of dogs and wife. First time ever! (Well, since that old trick in High School...)And I HAVE cruised on fumes a few times before. Rodolfo showed up in no time at all, and the transfusion was successful! The second time you're saved me this year! You guys are on my Christmas List now....Dr. Barigian read more

I locked my keys in my car. Called AAA and Bob Holzer was there in minutes. From lock out to back in my car was less than 15 minutes.

Had to call AAA today for a dead battery. Broderyk came surprisingly quickly. He called when he was close by to confirm my location. He was super nice, friendly, clean, and helpful. If I had a business, I'd want to have this guy cloned. Haha. Thanks Broderyk! read more

Have had to use their services twice now - once in the past and today for a motorcycle. Both times made an annoyance go by like a breeze. Great staff. Really appreciated the professionalism, friendly manner, and care that Roderick (or Broderick, I'm bad with names:) showed today. read more

The technician showed up 10 minutes early which was great! He got my car up and running in no time. read more

Austin from Bob Holzer Towing was wonderful. Professional, kind, patient, and knowledgeable! He helped with a smile and answered my questions. No need to worry with this company or with Austin. Highly recommend. Thank you!! read more

Great response time as promised when I called! Unfortunately, they have towed my 1999 suburban more times then I can remember, but they have always been reliable and responsible. Fernando was fantastic and accommodating while I transferred items to his cab. FERNANDO IS THE BEST!! read more

Bob Holzer Towing - 1999 Suburban and Baby - Towing Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Amazing service from Austin today! The starter went out in our car and I was 6+ hours from home picking up my daughter from college. AAA was so incompetent in helping me that I wasn't hopeful about the towing service, but I was so wrong. Austin quickly found the problem and got me back on the road. He was kind, friendly and respectful. Outstanding service! I'm keeping his card in case I have any problems in the future while in Santa Barbara area. I'm very thankful. read more

Bob Holzer Towing has helped me several times. They provide outstanding service. All of their technicians are thoughtful, friendly, and knowledgable. My challenge has been an older car with battery needs. Holzer Towing through my AAA service installed a new battery for me on Sunday. I couldn't be happier. Thank you! read more

Bob and his crew are exceptional in every way, to say they go the extra mile is a real understatement. Service and reliability are second to none. This is a great local business that you can trust 100%. Highly recommend. read more

RAY is RAD!!! Had to call AAA for a tow today, and Ray showed up early, worked quickly, and was so pleasant. He calmly adapted when unexpected challenges arose, and his sense of ease and competence helped to calm my anxiety. He seems like a lovely and caring human being. read more

I was out running a quick errand during my lunch break. When I went to turn on the car nothing happened. I called AAA and within 15 minutes I was back on the road. I believe Jake was the technician that helped me out today. He was able to get to my location in a very timely manner and was a genuine nice guy. Hopefully I didn't get your name wrong. The time was brief, but the service was top notch. read more

Ray Desales from Bob Holzer Towing, through AAA, did an excellent job with my car. I called AAA because my car wouldn't start. He checked the battery and helped me verify if it was still under warranty, which it was. Ray was very courteous and friendly and replaced my battery with a new one. He was fast, efficient, and polite. Ray Desales is definitely an excellent worker who knows his job and does it very well. read more

(Serviced 02/02/24 FR @ 1:00pm, 2:00pm, & 3:30pm): Eventually, I needed Bob to tow my vehicle! Bob Holzer Towing and I had a relationship one afternoon when I somehow lost my bunch of keys that included one for my vehicle. Each time I called AAA, they were the tow company of record. They were either the closest, the best, or possibly both for a representative from their company to handle my requests. In this case, was the third time a charm for their towing services!? PURCHASE Unlock Vehicle, 1st Tow Attempt, Towed Vehicle (COMP): Thanks to my AAA Plus Membership, all of these services were included. However, it was unfortunate that I actually had three separate service calls to AAA. SERVICE My first encounter (about a 30-minute wait) was a quick and painless one simply to unlock my vehicle to check whether or not I locked my keys inside - no dice. My second encounter (about another 30-minute wait) was to have my vehicle towed to the nearest Honda dealership less than 10 miles away. Unfortunately, the driver brought a flatbed truck but didn't have a good enough angle to maneuver my "Toaster" onto it. My third and final encounter (about a 45-minute wait) came with a wheel lift truck that ultimately did the job. I hopped into the passenger seat of the driver's truck, and off we went to the dealership with some nice tunes and cool chit-chat along the way. The driver (all were males) easily delivered my vehicle, and off he went to the call. Although all of this took longer than expected, each driver was cool to deal with - thank you! PARKING (N/A) Inherently, with this type of service, your vehicle was "parked" wherever you were having troubles. I was stuck along street parking on a main thoroughfare. Therefore, unless you were at their physical facility (no reason why you should be), there was none to speak of - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Again, unless you were at their physical facility (no reason why you should be), there was none to speak of. Your surroundings wherever you were was where you were at - lol! ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL The circumstance that brought me to Bob Holzer Towing wasn't a fun one, but at least the three different drivers (I wished I could remember their names!) made the situation bearable, and each was chill to talk to. The main thing was that they showed up ready to get whatever needed to be done in a relatively timely manner, and eventually, the end result was a positive one. Not that I was ever hoping to need their assistance again, but if I did, I felt comfortable with that. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $0.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, if this wasn't a AAA call, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

I've had to use my AAA a few times for tire, battery, and tow issues. Each time Bob Holzer Towing has responded to the call, it has been quick! Austin responded to my flat tire last night. He was efficient, professional, and very nice. Thank you, Austin, and Bob Holzer Towing! 10/10. read more

What a great company we have used them twice in the seven years we've lived in SB and both times we were in a bad situation and their staff was prompt and very helpful and polite, so we would definitely recommend them if you need a tow. read more

Contracted through AAA. That can be a hit or miss sometimes but Bob holzer co. came through with an immediate response and had a truck out to my location within 20 minutes. Unheard of lately.. Abraham (didn't get his last name) was professional, friendly and did an excellent job of securing my vehicle and bringing me safely home. A great guy, good worker and pleasant to talk with. Bob Holzer is a first rate professional company that goes the extra mile to provide satisfaction. Very pleased with the service read more

The driver was amazing. But there truck arrived about an hour after they scheduled it.

Love these guys, quick, patient, efficient and friendly. Holzer has never failed me.

On a day where your calendar goes sideways coming out to a flat tire is not what anyone wants. AAA routed me to these folks & Octavio was great! Kind, professional, efficient. Couldn't have asked for better help! read more

Reasonable, prompt, and respectful service. The drivers and office staff are good to work with. Service is Excellent. The drivers always have the best advice of how to tow, and set up the vehicle on their trucks. Great Job, and thank you. read more

AAA sent them over to do a flat tire change. Tow truck driver didn't want to help me. I'm a parking attendant in Santa Barbara and I've seen them do this to many people. They pick and choose who they want to help. Santa Barbara towing came right over and changed my flat tire. No stories no excuses they just did what they were supposed to do. Forget Bob Holzer. Let them play their game somewhere else. read more

have interacted with this company multiple times, they have always had great service and communication, were timely and efficient in fixing my battery issues. Great guys. read more

Went back and forth with this dude 3-4 times . Kept refusing to tow my car it was a nightmare working with him. He finally agreed to take my car once my boss gave him a 100 dollar tip. Never again. You have one job. Tow the car. Why make it this difficult to get a tow. read more

Had my battery checked out and replaced for the first time since owning my 2010 Mercedes C300. Both of the men who arrived were super knowledgable and made the process quick and efficient. I was able to watch as they ran their analyses and was able learn new things about my car in the process! Great response time, got to my location within 10 minutes of my initial request to AAA. Definitely very reliable people, thank you! read more

Every time Ive dealt with this business Ive had a good experience. Their drivers are professional and helpful, even with situations like dogs. Good people to talk through being towed as well. read more

I called their posted phone number and the young woman that answered the phone was rude, dismissive, and unhelpful. If y'all don't want new business, just say so. read more

Recently received a tow from this business. Fernando was the driver and he was professional, friendly, and efficient. However, a few days later when I needed my drivers license to get on a flight, I could not find it as well as my AAA card. The last time I had them out was in the tow truck. Naturally I called them to see if they had it. The girl who was the dispatcher said they didn't. When I asked if there was any way they could check the tow truck she refused and said it wouldn't be in there because they clean the tow trucks. 2 little cards could easily be tucked away somewhere but she was not helpful and a little rude. Great tow but unfriendly customer service on the office end. read more

AAA sent them to tow my motorcycle I was stuck with a flat tire Douglas was my driver , was very professional and carful with my bike And give my ride home with the bike Thanks read more

The guy came via AAA. Started the request and they were there 30 mins later. Very quick and professional service. The rate they quoted my was reasonable too. Had a good experience overall and would recommend them to others. read more

Holzer towing is contracted with AAA for roadside assistance, and I really appreciate the professional and courteous service each time they've responded. Referred Holzer to a friend yesterday with a dead battery, and she got the same top notch service. read more

BEWARE. They dropped my motorcycle, stole parts and then acted like I'd done something wrong. Truly bizzare.

I guess they rather lose money coming out on a trip than to wait a few minutes while their customer is figuring out the payment issue, which the driver said he was having trouble with processing. While the driver was timely, he was rude, and I told him to ultimately drop the car and would be requesting a different tow truck. I really wish help would leave a 0 star review because if I could I would. read more

Our technician, Michael, went "over and beyond"!! You won the Lottery when he became an employee! Although, due to traffic, I had to wait 3 hours, he showed up with his warm smile and charming personality and put me at ease. He also has the knowledge of vintage cars knowing exactly the best way to tow my vehicle. He was able to back in my narrow driveway with NO problem, first try missing mailbox & low lying roof!! Being a retired teacher I'd give Michael an A plus, a Gold Star and Employee of the month!! read more
