Death Valley Towing is a great company! They are so very easy to work with. Kelvin came to my wreck location and was so kind and calming. He assured me that all would be well, which is what I needed to hear in that moment. They were all so kind and accommodating when I went to their site to remove my belongings from my car. Dealing with Connie on the phone was delightful. She helped me with my questions and was empathetic to my insurance woes. If anyone needs a tow for any reason, I strongly recommend Death Valley Towing!! read more

As usual Death Valley has no regard for anything other than getting paid. Every single visitors spot was taken and so I took the next spot closest to that and boom 8am car gone. They leave no note or allow any circumstance to affect getting paid. They mainly take cars from broke college students who then have no way of getting their car back from them. As they are located in the middle of nowhere. On top of that, the workers are extremely rude and unhelpful until you just throw money at them They are essentially scammers who abuse their "authority" all around Clemson. read more

This business truly runs on ruining peoples day. They charge insane prices and have very rude people working in their office. They also are infamous for towing people's cars and charging people $186 to get back their own property back without even looking into the situation at all. Honestly, I understand why the staff here is so miserable, as this must be one of the most unfulfilling jobs i've ever heard of. read more

This service is highly unethical in its towing even towing a vehicle that is authorized to park in an area just because the sticker was removed by someone else! No curtesy contact of owner just towed (at 11:30 PM on a Saturday) charging stowage high fees ($50 a day) plus $175 towing fee. If your Son or daughter is an apartment building that uses them Go,Run to another apartment! read more

Not recommend Do not care about vehicle when towed Over charge for storage Very rude over the phone Will tow even if you have a parking permit read more

I went to my favorite yoga studio in Clemson, Solshine Yoga, and after class, I noticed my car was no longer in the parking lot. Death Valley Towing had illegally towed my car, and the yoga studio confirmed this to the Clemson police officer. The police contacted Death Valley Towing, who then admitted the car was wrongfully towed. The police requested the return of the car, but Death Valley Towing refused, insisting that someone come to pick it up at night. Unfortunately, the police officer couldn't retrieve the car because it was towed outside of their jurisdiction into another county. The instructor from Solshine kindly offered to drive me to get my car, as the police officer agreed it wasn't safe for me, a small woman, to go alone at night . The police considered the situation serious enough to involve an officer from Oconee County to assist with retrieving the car. When I got the car back, it wasn't operating correctly. The manager promised the owner would call the following Monday to make this right and they have failed to do so. I believe this is a very shady company, and i believe people should be concerned that they are putting young women into dangerous situations by making them retrieve their cars in remote locations. This seems like a dangerous predatory action. Thanks to the kind officers from Clemson and Oconee police for their efforts in helping me get my car back. Be cautious, you could be the next victim. read more

See all

Nice folks and fair price for tow! Family atmosphere was in place. They care! Well run locally owned company.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Death Valley Towing towed my car from my own apartment building's garage even though I am a paying resident with a valid parking pass. The only reason this happened is because I had my car detailed that day and forgot to re-hang the pass from the mirror--it was still clearly visible on my side door - it wasn't like I did not have it in the car. Instead of showing any kind of sympathy or basic decency, they charged me the full $180 and wouldn't even consider reducing the fee by a single dollar. I understand rules, and I would have accepted a fine, but the complete lack of courtesy or flexibility when I had proof and photos of my valid pass is beyond unethical. This is a predatory business that takes advantage of technicalities rather than treating people with fairness and respect. read more

Just found out they towed my broken down car from my old apartment complex a week ago. I called to see how to get it back, and was told by the woman on the phone that it would be $520 today, and another $50 would accrue DAILY until I can get it out, or they begin the process to keep the vehicle. I will not be able to hand Death Valley Towing $1000 for my vehicle in a week. Death Valley Towing make a living exploiting broke college students. This is not Christian behavior or business practice, and has no place in the Upstate. If you need someone's car towed from your property, be merciful and don't do it through these people. read more

Terrible and Rude! Lied to my face that they only make $10 of profit per $175 tow and that drivers and property owners do not make commission off tows. They purposely prey on students on properties where there is intentionally not enough visitor parking. read more

On the prowl for student vehicles they can hook up and go. Earn themselves an easy 170 a pop. Funny thing is they have the contracts with the apartments but clearly only do their "job" when they need a cash influx. Predatory business that pays for their boat off of poor college kids. Try doing your actual job all the time and not just when there is a big game in town. Run the business like decent humans and not the low life scum they are. read more

Not only was I towed out of my own driveway next to a random car with no parking pass (I have one) during parents weekend, but the towed my friend today who had a medical device they needed in the vehicle that they had no urgency to bring when we told them he needed it asap. Their lack of urgency almost made him end up in the hospital. If we had not improvised and moved quickly, he could've died which we mentioned to them and they didn't care - in fact they hung up on us after we very calmly and politely explained the situation to them. Had something happened to my friend tonight, they would all be in jail. Absolute predators with no common sense and lack any human bone of decency. Police report has been filed and legal action is currently underway, this is absolutely unacceptable behavior. read more

Absolutely the most pathetic customer service! The ladies that answer the phone are unable to hold a coherent or professional call.

This company is illegally obtaining cars by practicing predatory towing throughout Clemson. They also charge a way higher price to pick up your car than the median and average in South Carolina. A friend of mine is starting a class-action lawsuit against them soon. If anyone has any evidence or stories of Death Valley Towing taking advantage of them leave the reviews here. More will come out soon get ready DV towing. read more

How could you take advantage of the young man's who's had a tree fall in his truck and you towed it from his parking space .Your day is coming . God hates ugly.. read more

Absolutely horrible business. No response from the owner. They towed my daughter's car because she was ONE letter off when she called it into the "do not tow list". They are charging her over $300 because she switched 2 letters when calling it in. Predators! Find someone else!!! read more

Death Valley Towing is the one to call if you want your vehicle damaged and owner will not return your call. Death Valley Towing the name fits we'll kill a vehicle. NO QUALITY just take the money and run. read more

Car got towed because tow truck driver was literally on the prowl looking for cars to tow. I was at my friends apartment for maybe 30 minutes and I know that nobody called to tow it bc there were plenty of open spots. $164 to get it back, which is insane to me considering their targeted population is college students. Front desk worker also threatened me with harassment charges bc my boyfriend called their dispatcher multiple times (which I apologized for) and he told me she was "tired and didn't want to work now" and it was "affecting their relationship with ccpd". read more

If you have to get towed in Clemson, get towed by Death Valley Towing. Lol. The people were nice to my daughter and that was worth something. read more

Roadside assistance was awesome today. Prompt and friendly service and got us back on the road quickly.

Predators and parasites on the student population. They have some "sticker system" with the local slum lord "Tiger Properties". They have towed my son, in error, twice from his apartment complex that he as an active lease with. It would be really easy to fix by matching permission to park with leasing periods and tag numbers, but they would rather prey on lawfully parked students instead. It is $160 a pop to get your car out of their lot, which, from my research is an exorbitant profit margin for towing services. I guess that helps with the boat payment. The owners and management of this place should reconsider their lowly place on this earth. They should also revisit their procedures regarding their dodgy sticker system with the slum lords around town. Death Valley Towing (and Tiger Properties) are not upstanding and honest members of the Clemson community. They should be shunned and shamed whenever they come in your neighborhood. Make it difficult for them to prey on students. Also, by the way, they sneak around your neighborhoods in the wee hours the morning (4am). That's when they go about doing their dishonest and predatory "business". Shame! read more

My car was towed because I didn't have a parking decal from my own apartment. Management wasn't even understanding at all that I wasn't informed and I was subleasing. Stupid and a waste of my time. read more

Just an awful company. The people are absolute jerks and will do anything to get money. They told my friend he had leave immediately or they would make him pay $80 to drop his car when they don't own the property and have no right to kick him out. read more

Worthless ass mfs, driver who grabbed my truck clearly can't operate his wrecker too well as he did a number on the nice new top coat getting my truck out. Hahah what a loser would love to see who pays to fix the 8 inch divets in the parking lot. The lady on the phone started off with an attitude as if I towed her truck. Then threatened me saying my driver lee will be here in the morning for u. Sounds good cmon with the cmon. I'll be there to get my truck first thing. Can't wait! read more

In my years being a student at Clemson, I have never had more fear in my heart than seeing a Death Valley Towing truck drive down the road. Most of the time, I have had incredibly good experiences with them. However, I lived in an apartment complex that was extremely limited on parking (like all of Clemson), and many people would park in my designated spot without a pass, which left me (someone who pays to live and park there) without a parking spot. When I called Death Valley Towing about this issue, I was spoken to in such a rude manner that made this my only Yelp post. It made me lose a lot of the respect for these people in one 30 second phone call. read more

The fastest tow service I have ever experienced. My son's car broke down in Clemson and I am 3 states away. I called and they were extremely helpful and by the time I finished my call to them and calling my son back, they were there to tow the car. Thanks again! read more

Very rude woman at the front desk. Had an attitude with me from start to finish and didn't want to answer any questions. Pretty unhelpful and unpleasant. Told me to take my question up with someone else. read more
