Really great experience with this towing service. They answered the phone right away and communicated clearly with me about my location and what to expect, which made a stressful situation much easier. What stood out most was how quickly they arrived. They were on site within minutes, which is incredibly rare in LA where you usually wait 30 minutes to over an hour. The driver was professional, efficient, and handled everything smoothly. read more

Nicest guy took the time out to explain to me the way the industry works and super honest and friendly. I would use Erickson at any time.

10/10!! I have a step van which makes it hard for me to find a towing company. I called 3 other places that denied towing my vehicle, even AAA which I pay for denied me! I finally found a towing company that was willing to help and guide me over the phone. If I have any issues with my van I know this is the first place I'm calling! Thank you guys read more

No wonder they have 5 star reviews! I had to get my EV towed, which is never fun but they took the stress right out of the process! Sandra on the phone was amazing, asked detail questions to ensure I'll get the right kind of help in a timely manner. My driver was Alex, who's extremely skilled and experienced, got my car out of a tricky spot and on to his truck carefully in no time. Their pricing is also fair, transparent and competitive! Most other places I called were rude and unhelpful. If you have called a few places before reading this, I'm sure that's your experience as well. Give them a call now! read more

Got my vehicle towed due to my property managements pettiness & lack of communication skills, but Erickson Towing has always made it a smooth process to get it back and offers great customer service. Thank you! Will be using you guys if I ever need a tow/haul read more

Friendliness and professionalism is a dying art these days. I needed to get my SUV over to a tire shop 4 miles away ASAP. I needed to find a flatbed towing service that was fast with no BS. This was the one. Person that picked up my call and took my questions was professional and friendly. The tow truck itself was exceptionally clean and the driver also friendly and professional. Truly felt like a VIP experience. Thanks Erickson Towing. read more

Erickson Towing did a great job getting me out of a tough spot! The driver was super friendly and arrived quickly, which really put me at ease. Although the pricing wasn't the lowest out there, the service made it worth it. Would recommend for reliable towing! read more

Just called this company for help w my brand new Porsche cayenne after it got a flat. The shop walked me through the process to changing the flat versus jumping straight to a tow. While they didn't get my business tonight, I will be saving their number and using them in the future. My impression from this experience is that they were helpful and honest when they could have taken advantage. I will be a customer in the future and share w my friends and family. read more

The person who answered my call was super personable and helpful. She was able to send someone over right away to help with a jump start. Robert arrived in 20 min, was very kind, and got my car running in no time. What a relief! Worth the price. I'm very happy with the service and would definitely recommend. read more

I had to tow my car from silver lake / Glendale area to the DTLA Toyota service center and it was around $215. I am not 100% if this was the best pricing but the communication with Sandra was great and they were on time. I'm happy with the overall service and would definitely recommend. read more

I had a vehicle in my carport that had frozen rear wheels and wouldn't move. I called Erickson Towing based on all their great reviews and I'm very glad that I did.

I thank God for Erickson Towing my son and I are extremely thankful for all your hard work read more

Erickson Towing - Car accident - Towing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My car was completely dead in the alley behind my apartment building. I needed to get the car moved into the garage---which I couldn't push because it's uphill. I googled and then called Erickson. Thankfully the person on the phone was polite and helpful; they got a tow out to me in less than 10 minutes. Mario, the tow person was also friendly and polite and got the car into the garage safely and efficiently. I definitely recommend them highly. read more

Mario is the best he went above and beyond , he helped me out with a mechanical issue that he didn't even have to do but he's a great guy so he helped me out. If you ever need a tow and hate dealing with rude or unhelpful people then come to Erickson towing they are great,helpful, and very nice people read more

Mario was outstanding and super helpful when our daughter was in a wreck while in LA. He went above and beyond to make sure that she was safe and our property secure. Would definitely recommend them. read more

I had a very tricky towing situation and Mario got the job done! My car broke down in my parking garage that required a steep uphill path with a low garage door. He not only weaved past other cars in garage, but also carefully adjusted the lift up and down as he slowly got out of my garage. He also then called and sent me pics once my car made it to the dealership. A+++ read more

Erickson Towing - Towing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Due to a rather unfortunate series of events, I needed to have my car towed 4 times in as many days. I happened across Erickson's by chance and found their service affordable, accommodating, punctual, and honest. These are qualities you want to come across in a time of need. I shopped around and found companies charging double Erickson's rates. And if affordable towing wasn't enough, they even offered auto repair recommendations, of which I took them up on, and found their mechanic recommendations to be equal in honesty. This place is cool, and I really appreciate their help during all the inconvenience of this week. Hopefully I won't need any more tows in the future, but if I do know who to call. A special thanks to Mario and Tony. read more

When my car broke down, AAA left me hanging for 6 hours. They said it would be impossible to tow my E30 because it was lowered. Luckily I called Erickson. Mario showed up in less than 30 minutes, and even though it was "the lowest car he's seen in 20 years of towing," he got it up on the truck and got me back home. These guys were very understanding of my situation and went above and beyond to help. read more

Erickson Towing - Towing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was stranded in Alhambra. AAA had promised service but after 4 hours I couldn't take it anymore. I called Erickson and they were there in minutes. My car is lowered and very customized. He was both friendly and careful! Towed from Alhambra to Torrance. Very pleased with the service! read more

Was able to get a helpful person on the phone immediately and they arrived within the promised 15 mins. Very professional and helpful tow person. Going to keep this company in my contact list for future needs. read more

My car was in a tough spot-I was amazed at the tower's ability to get it out on a flatbed. The dispatcher was communicative and provided a couple options prior to sending someone, and they arrived quickly. The car was transported safely and removed quickly. Did a very good job and worth the money read more

I wish I could copy a previous review verbatim because I spent the last 4 hours waiting on AAA to come tow our son's car out of a parking garage structure with no luck. AAA was unable to find a tow truck that could make the clearance and said I could get reimbursed if I found someone to do it. I called Erickson towing and they were honest and super reliable. Mario was AMAZING. Him and Tim helped us get the car out of the garage quickly (again we had waited 4 hours) and got us home safely. Really incredible service and we are just so happy we made it home with the car. Thank you so much for an outstanding experience. read more

They knew it would be hours before they could get to me so they referred me to another company. Seem like really honest folks.

(Serviced 02/04/15 W @ 8:00pm): Another small-business success story for me with the aid of Yelp! I desperately needed a tow service at a property I managed. Outside of AAA, I've nevered used one before and had absolutely had no idea how to find one. Thank goodness for Yelp who helped me find a true gem of a mom-and-pop establishment in Erickson Towing!: Towing (Varies; $200.00 in this particular case) - As you would imagine, rates were not fixed because of the varying factors such as towing distance, work needed done, etc. Although a preliminary verbal estimate of $95.00 was given, trust me...the Benjamins spent was more than worth it! Read the "Service" section and you would understand why. Service - Here were a collection of choice descriptive words: AMAZING, COURTEOUS, GREAT ATTITUDE, HONEST, INCREDIBLE, PROMPT. Why such immaculate accolades!? I was having a driveway/parking lot removed and replaced anew the following morning, and all vehicles needed to be gone from the area. Due to neglect and lack of follow-up, one car ("shell" was a more appropriate word) was basically rotting away and totally inoperable. Anything that could've gone wrong with this automobile most certainly did, from flat tires, generally non-functioning standard car operations, horrible parking location, junk stored inside, and having it eventually towed miles away. Over a period of 2+ hours, Mario the Tow Technician, the car owner and myself jimmied, shimmied, waggled and wiggled the shit out of this car in order to get it onto the tow truck's mechanism and pulled out into the clear http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=01nYJNL-ecJ6nVY_Vswa6g. Many times we were about to give up, but "Super Mario" came up with other ideas how to get this P-O-S out of here http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=JNHYXEf2BiIgWoM3E_a8Hg! With his determination and sticktuitiveness, the car was removed from the premises with the sincere intention that it would never return again. Mario was da MAN! Parking (n/a) - Since their business was all about coming to your location, this wasn't really relevant. Atmosphere, décor, ambience - Although I'm sure they had a standalone office in order for operations to be ran out of, I doubt anyone would ever see it since their business was primarily about coming to you wherever you needed service. So with that being said, this all depended upon where you were at. However, as I planned to do more business with them, I intended to at least check out their facilities one of these days. Attire - Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. Overall, Erickson Towing - especially Mario and his white magical truck http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=qTHgWxqYCPNK9lC4ixzhww - was a blessing in disguise and an answer to an unannounced prayer as I felt my way around my new career role. Our business relationship has since expanded to them as THE tow company for several other properties if not more (still being hashed-out as of this review). In addition to towing, Erickson offered many other services such as car junk removal (like this case), gas fill-up, jump start, lock-out and more. Their customer service was unparalleled to anything I've ever experienced in the automotive industry. Seriously...give them a call http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=zNNwsSDi5PgHBFuLe9ietg! I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (total bill was around $200.00 before tip). And, although I didn't pay (towed at the owner's expense), they accepted my credit card of choice albeit with a minimal service fee...AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

See all

They were super fast to come and jump my car and half the price of the company that was supposed to come through my insurance who never showed. I would highly recommend this company! read more

I got a flat tire from a nail in the road. Erickson towing sent someone out to change to my donut spare within 20 minutes. The tech who came out was kind, efficient and helpful. We were back on the road in about a half hour for a fair price. (This was after myself and my 3 year old waited an hour for our Progressive roadside assistance to show up for over an hour!) I highly recommend them. read more

I can only leave 5 stars, and I find this unfair. I would like to leave a gazillion stars. Friday in the AM, someone slashed my tires. Triple AAA's sub-contracted towing service could not due in what Super Mario did in 35-40 minutes. Super Mario is amaze balls, and nothing short of a saint in a tow-truck. I had a AAA tow company send out a driver in a flat bed. He instructed my boyfriend to get on the car and try and drive a car with 4 slashed tires out of an extremely tight carport. When I halted the attempt, since my car was within 1/4" of the wall he AAA's technician called yet another driver in a different type of truck a stingray without a wheel lift. When the car was in a even more compromise position he called his manager or another driver, so he could offer a final solution. The final solution from the AAA sub-contracted company offered to pull the car out under the condition I sign a damage waiver, since my car would more than likely incur damage. This started at 10:30 AM. 3 Trucks & 3 drivers later, and they could not do what Super Mario did in approximately 35minutes. I'm very exact Super Mario at approximately 10:35-10:45 AM and I was towed had tires replaced with a new set at home by 1:20 PM. I was on the phone with Triple AAA to seek reimbursement for what Super Mario did in 35-40 minutes, since three of their Sub-Contractors from United could not. I spent 6 hours on the phone with Triple AAA because of my sub-par experience with their contractors. I have had nothing but horrible service specifically from United Tow on more than one occasion, but this last time took the cake. This is long-winded because I was between a rock and a hard place, and I called Erickson tow solely based on the reviews for Super Mario. In all honesty Super Mario lives up to the reviews on him for Erickson tow service. P.S. rest assure when someone won't or can't Super Mario can. My car was in a tough to reach carport ( not underground ), and Super Mario put his vast experience to work. He is extremely humble for someone that provides nothing short than Stellar Service. He is an asset. I have the upmost confidence in Erickson towing service based on my personal experience. Rest assure that Erickson offers a solution when others cannot. I wasn't asked to sign a damage waiver, his truck was a stingray with a wheel thingy ma jiggly. Super Mario is priceless, and he would definitely be my go to guy. If he wasn't available; I'm confident in the quality and qualified individuals Erickson hires solely based on Super Mario. I spent 7 hours waiting around for AAA and I was home with new tires in 3.75 hours. I received piece of mind from Erickson tow and nothing short of a nightmare from AAA contracted tow service. This guy is BAD A**! Based on the quality service, the experience, and Marion's ability to Take on a project and execute it rest assure you are in the hands of a Professional. He goes the extra mile, he cares, and he gets it done. Priceless, priceless, priceless, priceless, priceless, priceless, priceless, priceless, priceless, priceless!!! read more

thank you to Sandra and Mario. "Help" came when needed most. Not taken advantage of, at a difficult time. ( saved them on my "speed dial") read more

Called to arrange a tow for my motorcycle, spoke with Sandra on the phone. The driver (Miguel?) showed up on time. Suggested checking the battery before putting on the truck. Yup ties out just needed a new battery. Saved me the expense of the tow, and shop service. read more

I needed a tow company I can trust to move an old classic vehicle. This meant a great deal to me because it was my mother's car whom I lost 15 years ago. Since the first conversation I had with them they assured me my vehicle would be in careful hands. The manager Mario was extremely kind and took awesome care as they loaded it up on a new truck and dropped it off 45 miles away. The price was great and I couldn't be happier. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company! read more

Called many towing companies and Tony was the only one willing to give a full assessment of price over the phone. He also gave me a couple of options and left it to me to decide. When the Mario the driver showed up. He assessed the situation and gave me several options and even tried to save me some money. During the whole time, Mario always made sure I was aware what he was doing and he was all about taking care of the customer. He was courteous, punctual and very professional. If I am ever in a bind and need a towing service, they would definitely be my first place to call. read more

Erickson Towing - Thanks mario for getting this baby in the drive way. - Towing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

i just got a quote of $325 for a 27 mile tow...this place overcharges! literally highway robbery!

Mario just pulled away from our house. What a great guy! He gave me a quote on the phone, pulled up exactly when he said he would and towed our car with care and professionalism. I couldn't be happier with his excellent service. What a lifesaver he is! read more

I called to this company to tow my friend's car. She was so nervous and that day was really crazy. Because it was our first experience of towing. Finally dump out. Good service. Quick and good quality. We will use it again is something will happen. read more

I don't trust a company that is not willing to provide a quote/estimate. Based on the positive reviews for this company. I contacted Erickson Towing to find out how much they would charge me to tow my inoperable vehicle from 1 location to another location 5 blocks away in Los Angeles. I appreciate that they answered the phone quickly. But then the lady was hesitant and said that the location was 3 miles away from their location. Their website indicates "Serving the cities of Glendale, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Burbank, Hollywood & many more." So I stated that they couldn't do the job. She said that they could do the job but it would be too expensive to do because of the distance. I let her know that I would be the one that determined what was expensive. So she transferred me to some guy who said that the small tow truck for this job was out for repair- something wrong with the transmission. I indicated that I was not in a hurry and that I could wait. For now, I just needed to have an idea of how much the job could cost. He was still resistant so I inquired if he couldn't do the job. He said he could do the job but couldn't give a quote until the Tow Truck was operational on that day and hung up. You draw your own conclusion. I've decided to give my business elsewhere. read more

Best Towing company out there. Just now was helped by Mario super nice guy! Asked me what was wrong with my car and he was able to help me within minutes of his arrival! Super great full, highly recommend. Erickson Towing will definitely be my go to if I ever need them again! read more

I don't usually write Yelp reviews, but Mario and the team at Erickson were amazing. Fast, and went above in beyond in helping me after my car broke down. Highly recommended- these guys are honest, thorough- hopefully I don't need to be towed again, but I will definitely use them again if so! read more

Had been super helpful before towing my trailer and it took ONE, just 1 stupid incident where there was a timing error thru allstate platinum which I agreed to make up and pay him yet now he refuses to ever help again which is uncalled for. I guess I picked the wrong day to ask for his help. He's helped me with my trailer a few times and he was the only person I trusted but he's not a very understanding or forgiving person when it comes to crap incidents, 1 time change yet his field is to help people in auto emergencies which I would imagine someone would be understanding things happen. It's honestly unfair as it wasn't my fault yet I agreed to take make it up to him. Book him if your appointment isn't urgent and is punctual or who knows he may just never help you again. read more

I lost both of my G63 car keys ,the dealer asked me to toll my car to the service center then they could make me a new one. However my car was parked in my garage，G63 is really high and my garage door is nearly the same height with my car, and even my garage is on a steep slope. We called Mercedes roadside assistance several times and they sent me more than 4 toll trucks, nobody would take the risk cause the car is too heavy and the situation was too difficult. Mario from Erickson Towing is really a nice guy and he took the risk of all difficulties. We are really appreciated his work because of his nice attitude and enthusiasm，and more he really did a great job, he has a lot experiences so he could deal with my situation. All of other toll truck drives told me there was no way to do my job unless break the transmission, but Mario he did it without breaking anything. He gonna definitely be the first person my family call with when we have trouble with our cars next time. read more
