    Some of the worst experience I ever had. These guys charge $280 per hour and they move like a snail. The jerk that helped me was a worse individual I ever came across. I forgot his name but on my paper he goes by CMP #97. This guy went in circle for god knows why and he moved probably 5 miles in 2 hours. I guess this guy thought money grows on trees. I ended up paying $420 because If he actually took me to my destination with the speed he was driving it would probably be over 1k. I told him to drop me off at a nearest hotel in Truckee. And this guy wouldn't even take my car off the ramp, I had to do it myself! It's like he enjoyed watching. F this guy and this company. Oh and thy charge before they even arrive at the spot, I probably waited 30 minutes for him to arrive and by the time his slow ass put my car on the back it was already 1 hour.

    So thankful for dependable tow! After spending 12 hours stranded with no service from our boat trailer breaking down and multiple towing companies declining or playing games, Dependable tow was there to save the day! We were able to arrange a time to meet at our boat and they were on time and efficient!! We can't thank the owner enough!! After the day we had he was our saving grace for sure!!!!! Highly recommend!!

    We're as 'hooked' as we can be to you! Lol

    Incredibly grateful for this family run (probably owned) business. The woman who answered my call was kind, helpful and funny. We called because AAA never showed up. In fact i canceled them today because of their crappy service. I'd rather pay for the tow then be lied to all day about when a tow truck is coming. Edgar came out faster than he said he would and did everything he said he would do. This was a hiccup in our much needed getaway. Our alternator went out and we just barely made it to the parking lot. We could've wasted a whole day waiting for a tow truck. Thank you to Dependable for living up to your name and providing exceptional service.

    Snow Storm at Donner Pass road.  Beware of Google maps taking you in the wrong direction in this location.

    Mike was at my car within 30 min and may have spent 45 min getting my car out of the ditch and would not take payment.

    I can't thank Cal-Nevada Towing enough for coming to our rescue! After breaking down with two flat…read moretires, I spent five hours calling seven different towing companies, and not a single one followed through. Most promised help in an hour, but I found out later that it would be a four-hour wait with no communication or updates. Then I called Cal-Nevada, and they were a total lifesaver. They arrived within 45 minutes and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. Michael was the driver who helped us--I couldn't believe it was his second day on the job! You would never know it, though. He was professional, calm, and incredibly compassionate. He could tell I was scared, tired, and frustrated, and he went out of his way to reassure me and make sure everything was taken care of. His kindness and understanding made all the difference. Thank you, Cal-Nevada, and thank you, Michael, for such incredible service. You turned a very stressful day into something manageable--and even uplifting. Highly recommend!

He was able to pull my 4Runner out of the snow with zero damage. He deserves a raise and a beer in my opinion.. I really appreciated the towing company making the effort to come out and help me when I was stuck. The police officer told me that he wasn't going to be able to make it but he would call me a tow truck. Then Jacob showed up and was amazing. I appreciate the hard work from this guy so much and the people over at Cal-Nevada towing

The CHP called Milne Towing who did get us towed to the Safeway parking lot in Truckee. I took the train back 200 miles, knowing I had to find a repair facility that would fix my car. I called Milne Towing, and advised them I could send a key since my car was alarmed. I was given an address in Truckee that (unknown to me) had no one present. I sent my key and alarm fob overnight. Then they said the didn't receive my key (which I tracked and had to be signed for), so then I contacted the Truckee Post Office, they showed me the signature of who signed for it. So since it was still snowing, I had to rent a 4WD car to go back up and meet the driver at the Safeway parking lot. ! When I reached out to them and asked "who in your business complex would sign for package of personal property addressed to Milne Towing, and not deliver it to you?" There are only ( I went up and confirmed) 4 other businesses in the complex! Why was I given an address to send my key if there was no one there to receive it, while my car was stranded in the Safeway parking lot!" I wanted compensation for my key and fob only, the cost of fuel and renting a 4WD to go back up there I was willing to forget, so I sent a letter! (Please see the attached response! ) So they got around to find my key and fob a month later! Only after I wrote them a letter asking for compensation did they even get back to me! First off, it is illegal to sign for any package not addressed to you, so who did they authorize to sign for them? After reading the other reviews on here which also evidence this company is to be avoided, this is not an isolated event! No responsibility taken, no ownership taken, ti seems their clients are not valued or cared about! Avoid Milne Towing, you have been warned.

They also charged me for an hour and half and it wasn't even close to that long from call to drop off. Even worse than that the tow truck driver violently shook my car off of his truck because it would not go into neutral and in doing so damaged the protective boot at the CV joint causing over $1,000 in damages and are trying to claim it wasn't them.
