If I could zero give stars I would!
I contacted AAA because I needed my car towed, and they dispatched Golden Bear Towing out of Chino/Montclair area. Unfortunately, the experience with the driver, Chanda Bwalya, was absolutely unacceptable.
I live in a large gated apartment complex with 250 units. You cannot access the property without a gate code, and it can be difficult to locate specific garages without directions.
After the driver called to let me know he was on the way, I sent him a courtesy text message that included the gate code and clear step-by-step directions from the entrance of the complex to my garage.
Instead of appreciating the assistance, he called me back and spoke to me extremely rudely, saying, "Lady, I ain't going to read this long paragraph. Just give me your garage number." When I calmly explained that I was only trying to help because of the size of the complex, he repeated himself in the same disrespectful tone.
Before he arrived, I briefly stepped into the restroom. During that time, he sent me a threatening text saying that if I didn't answer and call him back immediately, he would cancel the call. The tone was aggressive, unprofessional, and completely inappropriate. When he arrived, he remained unfriendly and dismissive.
There is a security camera directly above my garage that recorded the entire interaction. I have dealt with many tow truck drivers over the years, while some have been less pleasant than others, the vast majority have been polite, respectful, and professional. This was by far the worst experience I've ever had.
I reported this incident to Golden Bear Towing's Manager, Miguel, and also filed a formal complaint with AAA, advising them not to use this company again. Golden Bear Towing needs to fire Chanda Bwalya!
I strongly recommend avoiding Golden Bear Towing, and if you are another towing company, I would strongly advise against employing this driver.
This was one of the worst Customer Service experiences I have ever had! I'm a business owner and I have worked in Customer Service for over 35 years. I definitely would not be in business and would not have kept any of my jobs dealing with the public, if I treated a customer like this.
There is absolutely no excuse for this level of disrespect and lack of professionalism!!! read more
