Hank was towing my husband's car to the auto shop when he noticed that my car was making a weird sound. He was concerned, and kind enough, to stop what he was doing to help diagnose a serious problem. (Needless to say, I was off to the auto shop after that!) He helped without expecting anything in return, which says a lot. Thank you for going above and beyond, Hank! read more

Amazing service, and amazing timing I have used them over 30 times. Would always recommend

Didn't even get a tow! The older man with a mustache flipped me off with both hands when I changed lanes in front of him (Tow trucks drive slower I understand that, which is why I wanted to go around). When he took his exit by Parkway Plaza he stuck his hand out the window to flip me off one last time for as long as he could! I guess I really got to him :/ Be more professional..? This isn't exactly a good representation of the company. read more

My battery died at parkway plaza in El Cajon and Hank happened to be in the parking lot. I found his number on Yelp and called him up. Hank is the nicest most honest man ever! Turned out my battery terminal was loose so he fixed it up for me at a generous price. Thanks for saving me Hank! read more

Highly recommend hanks towing!! Very reasonable rate, very fast, friendly and helpful. Definitely goes above and beyond. He even showed my son how to tell if it's the battery or the alternator we are needing. Thanks for all you did for us today!!!! read more

I could not recommend Hank more! He came to pick up my car in less than two hours from the time that I called him without an appointment. He also gave me some safety tips when it comes to protecting myself as a single woman that I had never thought of and were super helpful! Such a nice man. read more

Hanks Towing - Towing Near Me

terrible driver. within a minute they used the wrong lane 3 times. they're gonna get someone hurt if they continue to drive like that.

Ive used Hanks multiple times for my business fleet. He's always quick and gets our vehicles where they need to go. Thanks!

I need to tell you how GREAT Hanks Towing is. Hank did me a HUGE solid. My car hit some debris in the road on Old Highway 80 in Pine Valley pretty much in the middle of nowhere. The rim was damaged beyond repair and nobody and I mean no one had a rim for a 2012 Cadillac SRX. Even the dealer had to special order something so simple. Well two days later car was still in Pine Valley in nowheres ville. My "autoclub" quoted me an outrageous amount because it was out of my mileage range not to mention that even if I used them the supposed towing company would do it until the next afternoon if they felt like it. " that's a whole other story." Anyway I was referred by another company to call Hank's. Hank didnt hesitate at all. 45 minutes later I received a call from Hank and he was enroute with my vehicle and a very very reasonable price from Pine Valley to Eastlake. Serious thanks The "autoclub" that i will cancel after this yelp is ALLSTATE AUTO CLUB. HORRIBLE SERVICE. After 20 years with them and 3 other no shows for a tow. ALLSTATE AUTO CLUB IS HORRIBLE. HANK.... THANKS AGAIN SIR.!!!! read more

When I look back on memories from my youth, I can't say I look back with fondness. Particularly my high school/college years when I first inherited my sister's old silver Nissan Sentra hatchback and later my brother's red 200SX with the pop up headlights that looked like it had a perpetual wink because one of the lights was broken. Both were prone to breaking down and leaving me stranded, so unless a cop or a good samaritan happened to see me on the road freaking out, I was SOL or stuck walking to the nearest exit or on the hunt for a call box because of car trouble. Unlike the youth of today, we weren't blessed with cell phones to get us out of a jam. For that matter, nor did we have time-out as punishment growing up as a kid, elaborate Sweet Sixteen parties, or internet. INTERNET!!! Instead, we were given the option of (in a Filipino household) a belt or slipper for our whoopings when we misbehaved, ghetto garage house parties to ring in our sixteen years of life and huge freaking phonebooks to, let's say, look up a good towing company. Before you call me a dinosaur, let me just say by the time you're my age, I still won't look my age mofo. ;p Hank's Towing proved to be my knight in shining armor when the clutch on my car went out today on the road. I literally could only shift with all my might into 1st and 2nd gear with my hazards on much to the annoyance of my fellow drivers, all the while, lurching violently at every stoplight when I tried to get my car moving again. Embarrassing, yes. When I finally made it home, I called a few towing companies, some giving me outrageous quotes and mileage fees. When I finally called Hank's Towing, Hank himself answered the phone. He was very courteous, answered all my questions and gave me the lowest price plus a flat rate with no additional fees. He arrived in a timely manner and had my car towed to the shop in no time. Thank you Hank. Thank you Internet. Thank you Yelp. I wish I had you all back in my youth :) read more

Definitely worth 5 stars! I was impressed the years of experience when our truck was pulled out of a stuck location without shredding a tire and then adjusting the front bumper so the truck could be driven. So glad I called and couldn't believe the fast response time, low pricing and pleasant to work with!! read more

Very professional and friendly. Hank has nice equipment and years of experience. I was very happy with the price he charged to tow my van.

I needed my van towed to an auto shop, since I'm a Yelper I came to look for suggestions. I didn't want to call big companies since they're always rude and overpriced plus I wanted to deal with a business owner to support small businesses. I'm so glad and happy I found Hank. He was very friendly over the phone and available to schedule a tow. The day of the tow he was very communicative and on time. He's very nice and friendly. Pricing was very reasonable. Don't go with big companies and support small business. You won't regret it!! Thank you Hank for helping me with my van. read more

Always reliable and a much better deal than everyone else out there. I've used him many times in the past and he's never let me down. Definately goes out of his way for his customers. read more

I called Roy Wheeler Automotive for a referral on a towing company. They said all the larger companies would charge the same, but referred me to an independent owner--Hanks Towing. Hank was in the middle of another job, but promptly arrived to fix the white Jeep my brother borrowed from our mom. Hank was friendly (if I called him at 11pm I would feel totally safe plus I had my three year old twins with me), professional (on time), knowledgeable (he fixed the problem right away on the spot without towing), honest (he suggested a few possibilities but the problem was simple--a corroded battery cable) and affordable. I was so happy I made sure to tip him. One last note, he is super detailed and came prepared with his own tools and jump start battery electric thingy...(sorry don't know what they are called). He also gave my brother tips on how to take care of the corroded battery cables that Hank cleaned to make sure the problem didn't happen again. I made sure to take a business card and made sure my brother had one too! I've been going to Roy Wheeler Auto for decades because of my in-laws and now I know why they recommended Hank. He is based out of El Cajon but drove out to Clairemont. When asked if he has driven further he replied yes. I made sure I wrote this review today because I was simply impressed! read more

GREAT experience, very helpful, reasonable price and very friendly. Would use their tow service and if needed and gladly recommend to others. Only down side is that their only a cash only business. read more

Hank's towing came right out when I called. He was actually able to notice a loose hose. We attached it and all was good. No need to go to mechanic after all. He is honest and reliable. I highly recommend him. read more

I needed my infiniti towed to a friends shop. Called tons of different tow companies and they all wanted $110+ to tow from my home in el cajon to national city which is 19 miles according to google maps. Called up hank, he gave me the best price in town without even asking what the competition quoted me. For the price, I was honestly expecting some guy with a old outdated tow truck, but he rolled up in a new flatbed truck (the nicest I've ever seen). I was concerned we would have issues getting my car on the flatbed because she is lowered. He knew exactly what to do without scratching my baby. I recommend Hank to anyone and everyone who needs PROFESSIONAL QUALITY SERVICE at a REASONABLE price. Thanks again Hank, you were great to work with. -Jay read more

I called a bigger company for a quote on how much it would be to tow my car 8.2 miles, it was $50 for the hook-up, and $7 per mile, putting it at $106. With my 10% student discount it would have been around $96. I called Hanks Towing, and they did it for $60. The driver called me in the am when he was picking it up, and again after he dropped it off. Everything was easy and the price was right! Plus they were courteous and friendly! read more

Awesome guy! Super cool and polite! I always call/refer him! Best prices around

My daughter broke down in a bad area, a friend of mine suggested Hanks Towing. I called and told Hank the situation and they responded super fast to the scene, best of all they gave me a flat rate for the tow, Theyt didnt charge hook up or mileage, just one flat rate. It's nice to know upfront what your paying and they were very polite and professional. I would highly recommend them to anybody. Hank told me he has a small company but has been towing for 22 years, he is knowledgeable in every aspect of towing and recovery. Great guy over all. read more
