Every time I have used Clancy's in the past few years, and it has been SEVERAL times, they have always been prompt, polite & efficient. The drivers are always professional and nice, no matter the time of day. The office staff always seems so helpful and sympathetic. I would definitely recommend Clancy's Towing for any roadside service or towing needs read more

This company charged me $1,575 for a tow from Alpine to Otay Mesa (about 40-45 miles), which is already excessive -- and then damaged my truck. My Volvo VNL 640 had ZERO oil leaks before the tow. Immediately after, the oil pan started leaking, clearly due to improper towing. I reported it right away and was told a supervisor would call me. It has now been over a month -- no response, no accountability. Because of their damage, my truck sat for a week waiting for repairs, costing me even more money in downtime. Overpriced, careless, and completely unresponsive when something goes wrong. Avoid this company. read more

Supposed to pick up a car to buy. Didn't show. After a couple of days they called after I complained to SellusCars. Driver you know you're shady. Don't make me expose what you really did. Super shady both SellusCars and them. You're welcome read more

Clancy's towing has predatory pricing and rude service. Do not recommend!! Mine and others interactions with them have all been the same. It's not a one off occurrence. read more

We were going to drive our van into the shop for a 10:00 a.m. appointment. Went to start the vehicle and it wouldn't start. I called Clancy's and although it was already 9:30 a.m. I asked how soon they could get it there. They said they could be at our home around noon which was great! Called the shop and changed the appointment. Next thing I know, it's 10:05 a.m. and the tow truck was at my home. WOW!! That is fantastic service. The employees were nice, helpful and courteous. The truck driver was super nice, and I wish I had gotten his name. Heads up HR, you have some great people at this place. Towed only 5 miles and it was only $150. We were expecting to pay much more. read more

Never thought I'd be writing a 5 star review for a towing company, but these guys are going to be my go-to towing company in San Diego from now on. I'll admit, the older gentlemen that work there aren't the friendliest (I probably wouldn't be either if I had to wake up at 3 am to tow a car wreck), but the company was definitely redeemed the next day by some of their younger employees. The young lady working in the office, Jeremy (with the nice eyes) and Dustin (with the nice smile) were so courteous, professional and helpful. They made this crappy situation a lot more bearable and less stressful. Thank you Clancy's!!! read more

Ghosted me after weeks of trying to get paperwork from Dan Miller the owner. Finally got him to answer, then he gave me a bad email address promising again he would send me the paperwork. I was told it's not malicious by them, and they are just busy. After weeks of leaving voicemails, texts, talking with staff and never hearing back...it's intentional and malicious. read more

They were super quick and had really fair pricing! I'll definitely use them from now on .

Worst towing ever I would give them zero star so rude and racist. They are thieves steal people money. They towed my car that was only 15 min and I noticed right away and called them right away. They keep it less than one hour and he charge me $650. And it was less them 5 miles towed worst company ever rude, did not listen of my situation and I explained I had an emergency and I had 3 car seats. He don't understand and rip be off they just simply public thief. read more

Scheduled Clancy's to meet me in Pine Valley to pick up a truck I had stored there. The first driver was a no show so when we called back the Dispatcher had a weird vibe like he didn't believe me and didn't apologize for the screw up. They did send another driver who arrived in about an hour which isn't bad since Pine Valley is 30 minutes from El Cajon. Driver courteous and quick. We do a lot of our own trailering and were surprised the cost of this tow from Pine Valley to Spring Valley was $500 bucks. They kind of have you over a barrel and they know it. read more

Thieves. Towed my car from my complex. Car was backed in. Neighbor said it took them MAX 5 minutes to grab my compact Saturn. Towed it 5 miles. I got there withing 2 hours. Charged me $650!!!! Are you kidding me!!! Damaged front bumper but of course said damage was already there. Call ANYONE but these rip off artists. If you don't give it to their extortion they sell your vehicle at a "Private" auction where they do fast title swaps with friends in the biz and then they buy it back. You are still on the hook for the tow but now they own your car. They make 10's of thousands on this racket and there is nothing you can do about it. Pick ANYONE but them. read more

Last weekend we went to a local high school football game and tried to celebrate by going to Raising Canes after the game. We waited in the car while the kids went inside to order their food. Clancy's towing tried to tow three cars while we were sitting in our cars with the engines running. He blocked all three cars and would not let us out. We had to call the police to help us get out. The police officer told us this was not the first time they had a problems with this tow company (this man). He refused to give us his name. Tonight we went back to Raising Canes in Santee after Friday night football game and he went after a high school students truck. The high school student ended up having to pay $100 cash. Looks like his business of choice is taking advantage of families and high school students trying to have some innocent fun after Friday football games. . read more

I had to have my car towed and my insurance company recommended Clancy's Towing. I made an appointment for them to pick up and tow my car to my mechanic's for repairs. When I made the appointment, in person, the person at the window was very helpful. When Jonathan arrived to pick up my car, he was friendly and nice. I had a hard time believing this was a tow company as Clancy's is the first tow company that didn't have some kind of attitude of nastiness or "we're doing you such a favor." I dreaded using any tow company, but will not hesitate again (hopefully not ever needed), and will call Clancy's Towing. I would recommend them without reservation. read more

Worse ever I'll never recommend the services they overcharge. They have a horrible attitude to drivers are rude. The whoever answers on the phones are rude. If they don't like their job, they should find another one. read more

If I could do minus stars I would. I am not one for reviews, but this company towed my car without getting any permission from my apartment complex. We got home late one night and parked one spot over on accident, first time and our neighbor called them in and got it approved somehow. None of my management had any records of this and we thought my car was stolen. Then the company proceeded to charge me for taking my car even though they did NOT get it approved. I will be contacting their upper management and take them to court. read more

I am so glad that there is no other tow yard had my truck impounded by La Mesa police officers,you know the drill and frustration for the fees,it makes you cry if not worse than that,but I called to see if my truck was stolen or towed,Mr.Justin from Clancys's Towing helped me when no others have or were ,this is humanity not anything else, I can't thank him enough for his hospitality in that situation when it is the end of month , barely could pay rent,...etc,great service and professional courtesy. Thank you again. read more

My wife had a flat tire and we called Clancy Towing. They came and said the lug nuts were to tight and they can't loossen them. I told the tow truck diver the lug wrench that came with car and the added 12 inch length pipe ( to put over the lug wrench) was also in the trunk and was used to loosen the nuts. he refused to try or use it and made us pay for $173 tow charge. The next day-- after the tire was replaced and turged to desired pressure from the tire shop--- I took the lug wrench and pipe and loosened the easily loosened the lug nuts without having to stand on the pipe. They took advantage of the situation with only wife at car with the flat tire. I recommend not anyone to use them-- because they will cheat on the situation-- because they make money from towing not on changing flats. read more

Clancy's Towing - Towing Near Me - El Cajon, California

My car was towed within minutes of parking on the chevron gas station on mission gorge rd. They were parked by Raising Canes Chicken Fingers just waiting for people. I went inside just to pick up an order, came out and my car was up in his truck. He asked for $204 right away. He is just hunting and that should be illegal. Right after he abruptly dropped off my car, he went and parked again. Be careful where you park because the signs are not visible and these guys are hungry for money. PS I hope I don't have any issues with my car because of how recklessly he drove away to pulled the claws from the back tires without making sure there weren't any damages read more

Horrible. Illegally towed my car charged me $1600 to get it out. Tore my front bumper off and when I spoke to the manager JOHN about it who was completely unprofessional about the damage done to my vehicle which is in the process of being sold. Stated that the bumper was ripped off in the 5 mins it took to get it out of the yard parked on the street where I was having it towed from. (He placed the blame on us & tried to say we had crashed the car) DO NOT come here they are an absolute atrocity of a company. read more

See all

Clancys towing picked up my vehicle from an accident on 10/17/23 I had a $2000 electric skateboard in the vehicle that magically disappeared between the site of the accident and their tow yard. Outright theft that I will be filing against them. read more

I recommend this business because of not only the most experienced tow truck drivers but the kind and friendliness customer service!

Jonathan did a great job!!! He was here quick and on time. He was very nice. We were in need of a battery getting g jumped as the car had been sitting a long time. read more

Helped a lot when i was on a road trip, gave me free equipment to help me start up my vehicle!

This place is absolutely ass. They towed my car illegally and when I called them about it they claimed that my car was at a completely different location at the time of being towed. They also told me that the security guard of the building signed off on it being towed yet when I went to the security guard no one of then even knew about a car being towed read more

This is the worst towing that you could use for your car. They are so rude. They are not punctual. They make you feel they are giving you money for having your card not like you are paying them. read more

Trash company stay away. Don't support towing companies that screw people over. Especially when vehicles are a complete loss from non fault accidents. They will charge you an astronomical amount of money just to release liability to them. On top of that I'm sure they get some extra cash with scrapping the cars. No integrity from these thieves. read more

I agree with what others have said about Clancys Towing having a contract with the Sheriff's department. A Deputy named Bumbar "rushed" to have my daughter's broken truck towed from the front of our house when my ex-husband told the City ticketing guy (ex-cop) he'd have our son move it to the driveway after work. The whole deal was scummy and underhanded. I hope their bad faith catches up to them. read more

Called for tow service and was told it would be an hour and a half. Got a call back a short time later informing me they had a driver on the way! Driver was courteous, professional and treated my car very carefully. You hope you never have to call for a tow but if you, do call Clancy's! read more

Had my car towed here and was quoted $100 less on site than when I got to the window. They charged a storage fee of $40 after your car has been there only 1 hour. The people there are nice and that's the only reason why they deserve 1 Star. read more

I cannot remember the guys name(may have been omar) he was around 24 and towed my Cadillac Fleetwood two seperate times in the same day. He treated both me and my car with the utmost respect and care. He was fast and safe always. Not to mention they are one of the few companies you can use with out taking out a second mortgage to pay the bill. Thank you guys! You are my new favorite conpany read more

These guys were completely unscrupulous. They towed my car for an expired tag and claimed it took 2 hours. They lied and over charged to hold my car for 16 hours. When I inquired about their fraudulent billing they blamed the Sheriffs Office and City of Santee. Sad they couldn't just take ownership, and be accountable. read more

Got into a collision car ended up here but when I went to get my things from my car, some valuable stuff of mine were gone from the trunk. I don't know why people think they can just take what they want. Very unprofessional and very rude as well. Thieves. read more

Clancy's Towing has been our "go to" company at the HOA we live in. I've been working with them for over 10 years. We have been contracted with them for on call tow only. There is no patrolling, or sneaky business to try to catch people parked illegally. I've had great response time to a phone call to them when I need a tow. I've always had a professional person, tow-truck driver show up. Sometimes they send too large of a truck for the job, and I forget to tell them that we have limited space for a truck to turn around etc. Other than that I have zero complaints. We've been happy with them and I felt it was time to put a review about them on Yelp. Thank you Clancy's for being reliable, and friendly, we salute you! read more

The staff is awesome. They are really there to help people. Always in time and affordable rates.

Had a blowout on 8 east at the 805 pass. Called Clancy's at 7:15am and I was home in La Mesa by 8am. Great service and really quick. The guy that answered the phone was polite and friendly. The driver was super cool and offered to take me to a tire shop. I would highly recommend this company! THANKS GUYS! read more

We had called our insurance company to get our car towed we were in a rural area it was cold and hailing. We had a flat tire. It was unsafe to change right next to road. Clancy said they would be there in about 14pm. I took my wife to work and we drove back to her car at 130pm. They were running about 1 hour late. My wife called and person said oh no one is there yet. They said they would call back and when they did they said oh no one is in the area so we aren't coming. talk about lack of professionalism. If you want to be left stranded in your time of need they are the company for you. I got the tire changed and we were on our way. Had a stranger also help us but Clancy's towing is very unprofessional and will leave you hanging. read more

I called this company because it's the one my insurance works with in the area. In the maybe handful of times I've had to call them, I've never had a bad experience. Had a flat and no tool to get down the spare, tire basically shredded. I thought I would have to wait a very long time since it was a rainy day, but within the hour i was home and eating dinner. Careful and efficient given my seriously messed up tire. read more

Worst tow company ever!!! The cops/sheriffs use this company because they have a contract with them so if you are ever in an accident and your car needs to be towed insist on using a different company. They are horrible to deal with. They are rude and lie to make more money. Was in an accident and sheriffs had vehicle towed by them to their tow yard. When insurance finally finished their investigation and I went to get my vehicle out the ride horrific woman at the window told me "oh you're not getting your vehicle back". I spoke to someone else demanding to get some of my personal stuff out and saw that they had gone through my vehicle and took stuff out of it. Called the next day and was told I had to make an appt to get it out and pay after hours fees so I did just that and had my roadside assistance scheduled to come get my vehicle. When roadside assistance contacted Clancy's they told them that they are closed and would have to be scheduled for the following day even though I had already talked to Clancy's and scheduled to get it that day and the guy came In to take my payment for the fees. So the roadside assistance cancelled the tow for that day and I had to schedule it again so that there was no chance that they would take anything more. These people are awful, shady thieves and shouldn't be in business. read more
