I was forced to use Auto Care Towing after a one-car accident, and the experience was awful from…read morestart to finish. My vehicle was taken to their Watsonville/Royal Oaks yard, and dealing with both the office staff and the tow yard attendant was unnecessarily stressful and hostile. I paid $1,500 to retrieve my vehicle, yet once on site, the yard attendant refused to give me his name, acted aggressively, and attempted to prevent me from leaving with my car after it had already been fully paid for. He became confrontational, behaved in an intimidating manner, and even tried closing the gate while I was inside the yard. I felt genuinely unsafe during this interaction and simply wanted to back my car out while waiting for another tow, but I was still denied access. While dealing with this unprofessional behavior at the yard, I had to call their office again. I needed my car towed to a tire shop and literally had to call their office three times before anyone was finally dispatched. Each time I called, I was told it would "only take about 20 minutes," which was repeatedly not true. It wasn't until that third call, while the situation was actively escalating at the yard, that they finally seemed to take the situation seriously. Once we were finally on the road, the tow truck driver followed behind me. During the drive, I received a call from a random office staff member telling me that I should have paid for the tow before leaving the yard and that my car would not be delivered to the destination until payment was made. This was never communicated beforehand. I pulled over to the side of the road, spoke directly with the tow truck driver, and explained the call I had just received. I asked whether I should pay immediately or upon arrival. He confirmed that paying at the destination was fine and that this was customary. The conflicting information and unnecessary call added yet another layer of stress to an already chaotic experience. The entire interaction was recorded, and I will be sharing the footage with my large local social media following so others are aware of how customers are treated here. Accidents are stressful enough. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable. I strongly recommend avoiding Auto Care Towing if you have any other option.

They refused to take my credit card after my son lost his temper, they kicked us out of the office. When we came back the next day, they charged us 3 days of storage after having the car for under 36 hours. If your car gets there at 11.59pm, they charge you for that calendar day. They are rude and insulting on the phone because they know they have you by the short hairs. If you are in an accident, DO NOT let the police call you a tow because they will call this grifter company. Call AAA or anyone else if you can. Also, this operation is owned by the same people who own "lifesaver tow" in Felton so do not use them either. They have a contract with the local police who should be ashamed of themselves for elevating these thieves into a position of power over people who are already dealing with a bad situation.

Damaged the car! Our…read morecar was towed because, despite the registration being paid, we haven't received the tags, all of which can be verified by the DMV website. So, a $265 ticket to be disputed. Thanks Meter Maid Jessica Goode! Enter Autocare "Lifesaver" Towing, with it's lucrative and exclusive partnership with the Santa Cruz Police Department. Our gripe with "Lifesaver" is this: They're beyond rude on the phone. They have rules in place that make it extremely difficult to release your car: "Lifesaver" can't release the car to anyone but the registered owner (their own rule; this is not the law). In our case the registered owner is out of town. So "Lifesaver" here says, rudely, we will send you an Absentee Authorization that the registered owner must get notarized. Oh, and it's $150/night for every day you don't pick it up. Oh, and YOU MUST MAIL THE NOTARIZED FORM VIA SNAIL MAIL BEFORE WE WILL ALLOW A DIFFERENT PERSON TO PICK UP THE CAR. Oh, and we will wait until the end of the day to send you the form to be notarized so that's another $150 for us. Also, $150/night for the days it takes for the mail to get to us and for us to bother opening it. "Lifesaver" doesn't have a fax machine. "Lifesaver" doesn't use e-signatures. One can only conclude that "Lifesaver" finds snail mail to be far more lucrative. Thanks "Lifesaver." You're super duper! "Lifesaver" will hold on to your car with every little trick in the book, and on Day 3, they begin preparing Lien paperwork, which will add another $250, just in case you don't pick up the car and pay their usury within 30 days. Here, they depart from their normally slo-mo, old-timey snail mail ways, and get right to it. Incidentally, the owner, operating in Watsonville and Santa Cruz, California, is Kelvin Ramer. He serves as the President of KJRB Inc., the parent company of Auto Care Lifesaver Towing . His wife, Janette Ramer, is the Chief Financial Officer of the company. If they're rich, and I suspect they are, they've gotten there by grifting every dime they can out of honest hardworking people. I'm putting this here because when I asked the person I spoke to at "Lifesaver," who owned the company, his response was, "He doesn't like us to give out that information." Yeah, I'll bet he doesn't. Additionally, Kelvin Ramer is known in the monster truck community as a driver and sponsor. Auto Care Towing sponsors the Living the Dream Race Team trucks . We will be filing a consumer complaint with the Santa Cruz District Attorney as anyone else reading this who's had similar issues should. This is, as I said, a shameful business run by grifters. If the DMV is slow renewing your registration, CSO Jessica Goode of Santa Cruz as well as Mr. and Mrs. Ramer figure you might as well be a criminal. Thanks guys. Keep Making America Great!
