    Anyone who goes through this absolutely has the right to take it to small claims court -- especially when cars are being towed without being properly called in by the property, as the law requires. The reviews on this Yelp page are 100% accurate -- and my experience was almost identical. The only difference is that mine happened on a Sunday during the day, but the treatment and behavior were just as disrespectful and unacceptable. Just like everyone else, I couldn't find their real location because the address listed is wrong. The actual spot is hidden at 415 Old County Road in Belmont, and even knowing that, it was still hard to find. We called several times and the person in charge -- who I truly believe is the owner -- refused to answer until he felt like it. When he finally picked up, he talked to us with zero respect, used bad words, and had this sarcastic, degrading attitude that made us feel stupid and completely powerless. He even said, "nobody can do anything to me," and after seeing reviews from years ago, it's clear he has been doing this for a long time with no accountability. His excuse for towing my car was that there are "private property" and "no parking" signs -- but I live in this community. This is not the same as parking illegally outside a bank or a Safeway. Those are private commercial properties. This is a residential community, and residents should be able to load and unload without being punished. I wasn't blocking anyone. I was simply unloading items into my home. I was gone for six minutes, with my hazard lights on. This entire operation feels like a trap -- unethical, predatory, and honestly, something that should not be legal. No one deserves to be treated this way.

    WOW... words can not describe how in shock I currently am after my experience with express towing. My car was rightfully towed but I tried to talk to Steve and tell him that I have lupus and I was having a hard time walking up to the third floor he told me that oh well there is nothing in the car that said you had lupus. As if I needed to place on my car my health condition .. LOL. I was wanting to see if maybe he could possibly help us out since he was charging me and my boyfriend $563. He then told me YOU WANT YOUR CAR BACK YOU PAY THE 563. I then asked for his name and told him that he was very rude. He hung up on me and blocked my phone number thinking that I wasn't going to come and get my car? The address on google sends you to the wrong address so as soon as that happened I could already tell what kind of people own this business * if that's what you would call it... We came right when he was turning to the parking lot and just drove right past us as if he didn't see anyone. My boyfriend already feeling completely disrespected by the way he spoke and treated me tried to be as nice possible and see if he could negotiate the price but this seemed to make Steve the tow truck driver even more mad. ITS 563! CASH, PHYSICAL CARD AND ID!!!! he the rolled up the window and ignored us for the next 30 minutes. We literally had to call the police because he was just being so unreasonable... he is sitting in his tow truck smoking his vape in a tow truck. I called Belmont police and told them what happened and then they had right away called the driver. Steve goes on to LIE and say we were in the way of him being able to back up the current car he had on the truck and that he didn't feel comfortable... He then later goes on to call me a bit*h. For what reason idk. We were not even in his way whatsoever but this continues to speak to us in what kind of person he is. Police then arrived and he had NO issue what so over. They then damaged our car and as soon I said that there was damage another man comes out and says MAKE AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND THEY CANT INVESTIGATE. How can you talk to people this way any think that nobody will say anything about it???? Seriously this people are true and pure GARBAGE. I don't think I have met anyone more rude, disrespectful and insensitive in all my of life. I can continue to talk about what a trash business this is but the rest of the reviews say the same exact thing. This place needs to be shut down and the owners need a reality check BIG TIME. Please stay away from the company and hopefully n

    See all

    I had a deeply disturbing experience at Action Towing…read more This incident occurred on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at approximately 3:00 PM. I was waiting in my car while my husband was inside Action Towing picking up parts. A female employee approached me and told me to move my vehicle. I immediately responded politely, "Yes, I will move my car, thank you," and began positioning myself to leave. Rather than allowing me the opportunity to comply, she continued to escalate the situation. She called me deaf and blind, repeatedly threatened to tow my vehicle, and then told me, "You said you would move your car and now you're still here. It's a lack of integrity." At that point, I had already acknowledged her request and made it clear that I would move. I was not refusing to leave, arguing, or creating a problem. I was simply trying to get situated so I could move my vehicle safely. What was most upsetting was not being asked to move, that was her job. It was the unnecessary hostility, personal insults, and threatening behavior that followed after I had already agreed to comply. Her demeanor was intimidating, confrontational, and completely unprofessional. I remained calm throughout the interaction, and unfortunately it felt as though my calm and respectful approach only encouraged her to continue speaking to me in a way that I found bullying and demeaning. When I asked for her name so I could report the incident, she refused to provide it. I also asked for her manager's name, and she refused to provide that as well. I have never been spoken to this way by an employee of any business. There is no excuse for calling a customer deaf, blind, or accusing them of lacking integrity when that customer is already cooperating. Employees represent a company, and this type of conduct reflects very poorly on Action Towing. Management should have no difficulty identifying the employee involved based on the date and time above. I sincerely hope no one else has to experience this type of treatment.

    Nobody enjoys visiting a body shop, but nobody likes driving around with a damaged car either. When…read moreyou drive a Tesla your options are more limited since not every shop has the expertise to handle it properly. I've taken my Tesla to Chilton Auto Body San Carlos twice now and both times they met my expectations. What I've also learned is that Chilton shops across the area will refer you specifically to the San Carlos location for Tesla repairs, which tells you something about their reputation within their own network. Both repairs were completed within the expected timeframe and the results spoke for themselves. Each time I picked up the car it looked flawless, like the damage never existed. For body work that's the highest compliment you can give. Worth noting that wait times can vary depending on parts availability, and like most body shops they may require you to leave the car with them for safety reasons, so plan accordingly. If you need body work done on your Tesla and want a shop that actually knows their way around one, this is the place to go.

Big thanks to the Chilton crew for taking such good care of my car. If you need collision repair, these guys get you quality and great value!

What stood out to me most was that he wasn't just trying to make money off a tow and he actually wanted to help me make the best decision possible.

He genuinely sounds like someone who cares about helping people and making sure they're okay, especially during stressful situations. He even asked me to follow up with him afterward, which shows how much he truly cares. You can tell he's just a genuinely good hearted person, and he absolutely deserves every great review on here.
