    Middle of no where....
    Jose P.

    I don't know the owner but he send me Gonzo! He fucken came and rescued me in the middle of nowh ere! Gonzo was a 16years Marine Corp veteran! (Thank you for your service sir!) My story begin when my RV wheel came apart on the long stretch of 46hwy and the nearest tow truck company was at least 50 miles away. Called a few palaces but seem like they don't want to come this way because of the distance. Anyway, before Gonzo was on the way, I asked him to bring me a bottle of water because I had none and I had 2 dogs with me, which he did! Gonzo was an expert with the equipment, he loaded and unload the RV with skills and very professional! If anyone in the Bakersfield area and need a tow! Hit up Jim's and ask for Gonzo! one thing I wish was Jim could of given me was a flat rate rather then hourly.. But Gonzo was a Vet, can't say no to our Vets! Sorry for my bad grammars.. it's late AF

    Quoted at $168 for an 11.4 mile tow. I don't care if I drive a BMW, that's robbery.

    We called a handful of tow companies to help us with our motorhome and we were rejected because of…read morethe rain. Empire was the only one who would come out and they towed us, in the pouring rain, in the evening. They were a life saver as we were stranded off the freeway. We highly recommend Empire!

    This company sold me a vehicle, having vonvinced me that there wasabsolutely nothing wrong with it,…read moreeven went as far as showing me the code reader connected to it. Started it up, it sounds great. He made it sound so simple, how i would go about getting it registered and getting lisence plates n all, just so quick n easy! So i take it down to where he said to take it - it doesnt pass smog. Why? (Heres the kicker:) -ITS MISSING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER!!! ITS BEEN "STRAIGHT-PIPED"!! (Which explains why it runs so quietly.. and also why i never even thought to check!) So smog guy puts "TAMPERED" on my smog paper! So now no ones gonna help me pay for a brand new one, and according to this smog guy, its gonna cost me $4000-$8000!!!!!!! To replace it! - n thats the only way!! I only paid $1,500 for the shit! + $500 to register it. Dmv says i can have my plates soon as it passes smog! Ill NEVER be able to afford that! I cant even afford $400! -let alone $4000!!! Im so totally screwed! Idek what to do! But it says here on their paperwork they gave me, that if i dont fix whatever needs to be fixed n get it to pass smog - the tow company can even take away any other cars that i may own or drive as well as this one!!! Good thing this is the only one, but WHAT DO I DO? THEY SCREWED ME OVER N THEREZ NOTHING I CAN DO! I HAVE NO WAY TO GET TO WORK STILL, IM ABOUT TO LOSE MY JOB OVER IT, PLUS HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET MY KIDS TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY IF I CANT DRIVE IT???!! WHAT DO I DO? IM SO LOST, I CANT BELIEVE A COMPANY WOULD REALLY JUST GO AROUND BURNING PPL LIKE THIS. ITS JUST SO MESSED UP. IDK WHAT TO DO. THANKS ALOT GOLDEN EMPIRE TOWING

    AAA uses this company for car battery problems. They sold me a defective battery that went bad…read moreafter a few months. The battery was not holding a full charge and was slow to crank. Had the battery tested at O'Reilly and AutoZone, and it failed. Had this company come out twice, but refused to test the battery before first connecting to a battery booster. Per this company, the battery is good, but they refused to test it without first boosting it. If, after being informed, the battery is failing and boosting fixes the problem temporarily, this company should have a better process for testing a defective battery they recently sold, rather than ignoring the original concern. Very disappointed, disappointed with AAA for using this subpar company.

    This is usually the company that comes out when you call AAA…read more Long story short I would ask for a different company if this is who they send. I needed a tow and was quoted 250 to take it home. The driver said he could take it to their lot for free & my insurance company would cover it. Turns out my insurance company wouldn't cover it. Went down the very next day to pick up my car. Informed me they're a CHP impound yard (never heard of this before) and charged me 500 dollars & a 65 dollar storage fee. On top of this they got another 175 out of me to tow my car home. Over 700 bucks when my car only needed to be towed about 1 mile to my house. While I was paying them, they said I should just leave it with them and they'll junk it for me. Said they wouldn't make any money on it though. Also tried to tell me my car would be towed if I park it in the street. Surprise surprise. It wasn't towed or ticketed, and it ran fine. Just needed a new tire and to remove the bumper. Sold it a week later for a lot more than free! If AAA does dispatch this company, verify every single thing they say. They made a stressful situation even worse.
