Expect your vehicle to to be cleaned out of ANY valuables when these guys tow your car, twice now they've towed my wrecked cars and they steal everything of value, they have free pass to do so. It says all over their yard 'not responsible for loss or theft'. These jerks just rip you off, period. read more

A scammer and a liar: 5 lies in 10 minutes After being out of town for three weeks, I came home to a dead battery in my 2024 Accord. I called AAA for a jump start, and Jonathan's towing came out to my house. He tested the battery and said it was beyond saving, and offered to sell me one of his batteries. When I said my car was still under warranty and I would have Honda replace it, he told me batteries are not covered under new car warranties. In that case I said I would drive my car to Walmart and check the warranty while my car idled in the parking lot. If it was not covered, I would buy a new battery from Walmart. He then said Walmart would sell me a new battery, but not install it. When I said to jumpstart my car and I would work out the details later, he once again tried to sell me one of his batteries. He then hooked up some cables to the car, and "tried" to start it, but said the battery was so far gone it could not even be jump started. I then asked to be towed to the dealership, but he said AAA did not allow towing for just a dead battery so my only real option was purchasing his battery. I sent him on his way and called AAA again. 1. AAA said of course they would tow a car if need be. 2. They sent out a new company who easily jump started the car. 3. I drove it to the dealership who confirmed that if the battery was ruined, they would replace it at no charge. 4.They did a complete test on the battery and it passed with flying colors. It has been driving great since then. 5. And of course, yes, Walmart would have installed the battery if I had needed it. read more

I was blessed to meet the finest, polite and very professional man by the name Jonathan. I needed a tow on 09/25/2025 and I was stress out because my car has some issues with how low it was to the ground. Jonathan knew just what to do and did it so professionally without damaging the car. He was very considerate and kind and not to mention he was easy on the eyes just a beautiful soul. I've never encountered a person like Johnathan in the towing business he relieved my stress levels just by his demeanor (warm and caring). He's my go to guy for towing forever now! I fail in love with him lol, If you ever get a tow I highly recommend going to him. He lifted my spirits today and I wish we had more human angles like him. Thank you Johnathan. read more

This Tow Company will waste ur time a worst of all after coming to pick up ur car they will assure you that your all set and they will call you when it makes to your repair shop. Then 20 mins later they will call you saying they going charge you more then original tell you ur AAA don't cover an they going to charge 1000 plus an As your calling AAA that your coverage does cover they stop answering your calls an dump ur car in the fire red zone parking. Horrible customer service. Rayco shady employee wouldn't even answer after not even 5 mins after telling me if I wanted to pay 1000 plus 87 mile tow an my AAA covers 100 miles. Waste your time leaves your car open with key inside. read more

My car died at an intersection and I could not move it. I called Jonathan and he was still in bed but he managed to get to me in about 20 minutes. He was very helpful and friendly. No one could have provided a faster or better service than Jonathan did and the price was very fair. I was impressed! read more

I couldn't believe how fast he arrived to tow our truck. His personality was so very caring and his demeanor was very considerate. He made us feel safe and well taken care of. What a great guy he is. He cared for us as if we were his family. MJ read more

I had a flat tire, called triple AAA, they referred me to Jonathan's towing. Alex was the guy who fixed my tire in less than five minutes. Alex was kind and helpful. I did not have to wait forever, he took about 15 minutes to get to my location. Excellent service! read more

I broke down on the freeway in my minivan and AAA sent out Johnathan's Towing to assist me. The driver, Jaheem, was so patient and professional with me. He was very kind and pleasant to talk to. He turned my terrifying ordeal into an enjoyable and safe ride back to my mechanic's shop. He was also an expert at navigating my minivan into a narrow parking spot. He also gave me the best price possible. I was very impressed with his service and would highly recommend. read more

exceptional work, car was in a tight spot Johnathan's towing didn't hesitate to help. highly recommend them.

This company is getting a 5-star rating from even though I've never actually used them, and I'll tell you why. Yesterday, I blew out two tires on the freeway after running over some debris. I had to pull off onto the shoulder in a pretty unsafe spot and wait for the tow truck. A driver from this company saw me waiting, exited the freeway and turned around to come check on me. I was confused because I just called triple AAA 30 seconds before he showed up. But he was just a genuine guy, looking to see if I needed help. Not one other person in a position like that (two cops drove by, a couple other empty tow trucks) stopped but him. Legend, whoever you are. Will certainly know who to call if I do ever need another tow. read more

Check the pricing before you agree. I was charged 50% more than the other two towing companies I called to verify Jonathon's Towing charge.

Well I just had my vehicle cls550 Mercedes towed with a Jonathan flat bed tow truck. This whole operation is never fun for anyone with such a discomfort and need. He made it a real pleasure and painless with polite courtesy with the skill to perform all needed to be done. I can't say enough good about how all this went. All the hope everyone doesn't have to go for the need of tow service but if needed CALL JONATHAN YOU WON'T BE SORRY. read more

Andrew did an amazing job moving my fifth wheeler into my RV garage. It took him a while to move it from one side of the property to the other, but that's not hard to imagine when the RV is 39 feet long. He got it centered and set back in the shadows of the Rv garage, and I was very impressed with the job he did. I would definitely recommend their service to other people. read more

We needed to get our non-running project car to the power washers to prep for paint. It wasn't too far away but we didn't want to deal with renting a car dolly, etc. Jonathan was prompt, honest, polite, and fast. He seems like a genuinely nice guy who does great work. We will use him again for sure. read more

Scheduled an appointment and they were an hour and a half late. Had to call thirty minutes into waiting and they sent someone who took another hour. Made plenty of excuses. read more

Horrible customer service. They are on the list for AAA so be sure and tell AAA you don't want them.

very good tow truck driver and very honest guy very respectful and reasonably priced highly recommend him

EXCELLENT FAST THOROUGH! We were on vacation and lost our keys, they came super fast and we're amazingly thorough! Yes, we highly recommend! read more

My car was poorly handled by western tow who dropped off my car crookedly and into my neighbors car spot! So I called Jonathan and he was very friendly and super quick to arrive to my assistance! He readjusted my vehicle for a small price and helped me get my car on to pull up my windows. Jonathans Towing made my day! Wonderful service! I recommend him for your towing needs! read more

I needed a Tow at 8:30 in the morning and Johnathon showed right on time. He was very good at what he does my car had its emergency break on which made it harder to get on and off the bed but Johnathan managed to get it and off without any damage to my car. I would highly recommend Jonathans towing. And I will never use another Tow company every when and if I ever need one. read more

If I could give this man 20 stars, I would in a heartbeat! Jonathan was my lifesaver when trying to get my car out of impound after a 3 hour battle with AAA and RB Towing. I was told over and over due to the damage on my bumper (which was caused by the impound yard), they could not help me. Jonathan was my "hail Mary". I was desperate and in tears just wanting to get my car towed to my mechanic's shop. He was kind, respectful, went above and beyond, and even popped my bumper back into place (the same bumper I was told could not be salvaged and therefore, nobody else could help me). His professionalism and kind hearted mannerisms let me breathe a sigh of relief and got my car where it needed to go at 8 o'clock at night on a Monday. I could go on and on about what an amazing man he is and how over the top he went for me. If I ever need another tow service in the future, I am not even going to waste my time with AAA or other companies. He has won my business forever from here on out. I would recommend this man and his services to anyone and everyone. Thank you again Jonathan from the bottom of my grateful heart. read more

See all

Had to get my car towed for the first time, so I didn't know what to expect. After calling around, this seemed like the best option financially and it was but also Jonathan made the experience so easy compared to all of the horror stories I've heard. Such a nice, hard working guy who seems to genuinely care about his customers. I had to wait a little while, but it was my fault (he was waiting on my location.) Once he had my location, it was a quick and pleasant experience read more

Friendly, honest and experienced owner/operator. Saved money over what some firms charged and received quality, professional service.

Reasonable Price. Timely. Polite. MIke was GREAT. He got to us quickly and had to maneuver through closed roads and traffic cones to help get our stalled vehicle home. Jonathan's had the best phone experience too. A real person picked up the phone right away and spoke with me unscripted. Didn't ask 20 questions and gave me a true arrival time and a true price. Nice! The only company we will ever use should we have to tow a vehicle again in the Vista area.. read more

Thank you Jonathan for answering the phone. I called 6 towing places during Christmas and nobody returned my call. You were professional and came to my rescue quickly. read more

My cars starter went out so I made a appointment at El Cajon Honda to have it repaired. I contacted Jonathan's Towing about 3 hours before the appointment. Jonathan quoted me the fee on the telephone which I excepted, he said he woiuld come an hour before the appointment. Jonathan came as he said he would and picked up the car and took it to the dealership and notified the service attendant the of its arrival. Jonathan was a very nice professional gentleman and I really appreciate his service. read more

Worst place & service ever!! Don't trust this business. It's the worst experience I've ever had.

Great service, Jonathan is friendly and punctual and is not looking to take advantage of anyone. One local company (not Jonathan's) would have charged me well over $600 for the same job. Thank you Jonathan! read more

Great job and fast service! My car broke down and stopped working in the middle of the intersection and they came quick and ready. I strongly recommend them to anyone who needs towing! read more

Probably the nicest tow truck driver I've ever had! My car broke down on the way to Julian and the price was less than AAA, and the tow was from Alpine to Chula Vista. Johnathan was really nice and made sure me and my girlfriend were ok and had stuff to eat/drink. All the other companies we called said they didn't want to come put to Alpine but he was more than willing! Thankful to have an awesome person come help me out read more

Had a great experience, they were there within minutes. Polite, professional, top of the line equipment. Really appreciated his knowledge, experience, pricing and recomendations. He had us fixed us in just a few minutes and we felt very safe. Thanx Jonathan!!!! + read more

Highly recommend! Janessa made my horrible experience of getting my car towed very pleasant by letting me know how to get my car out in a timely manner. She was very professional and kind. Understood I was overwhelmed and even went above and beyond to reassure me that everything would be ok! I hope I would never need assistance in towing again but if I did I would recommend this place for sure! Thanks again Janessa!!! read more

Service was very excellent! He got there in a timely manner and took us to the nearest mechanics shop. The car was hooked up on the truck within minutes! Super nice guy as well. If I have any other issues I won't be calling anyone else. Definitely recommend him to other people. read more

Jonathan's Towing service is a very professional company to use. He was fast, reliable, honest and made sure safety was a priority. Our F150 truck was literally hanging over a rock wall with a 10 ft. drop to the ground. He was able to carefully tow the vehicle off the wall by using his skills making sure no other damage occurs to the truck. I recommend using this company and service. Thank you! read more

Jonathan is very reasonable with his fee. Very nice guy. Will go to him again if I need towing.

Johnathan's towing was great ! Called at 10:17PM arrived at 10:30 faster than anything I've had from AAA. I had to have a Motorcycle towed, I helped load it onto the flatbed and I let him strap it down. He took great care and consideration with my bike as if it was his own. when we drove off I was expecting a ride like any other tow truck, really fast and hitting every pot hole and hazard in the road. To my surprise he was wonderful took his time avoided anything bad in the road and took every turn with care. Needless to say I am very happy that I called Johnathan's Towing. Hopefully I will not need another tow soon, but if I do I'll call him first! AAA+++ read more

Today was a hot day, and my Expedition inexplicably stopped running after I exited the freeway to my home in Blossom Valley. I called my mechanic who called Jonathan's Towing. Jonathan showed up promptly and loaded my vehicle onto his flatbed. He then insisted on giving me a ride to my home, even though it was in the opposite direction, and did not charge me for the extra miles. A great guy, great company, and great service. read more
