    An outrageous charge from this predatory towing company!
    Scott E.

    LESSON #1: Do not rely on Yelp for urgent services like towing. Yelp is great for finding dive bars, brunch spots, or barbers--but not for time-sensitive emergencies like a breakdown. When my car died in Walnut Creek, Yelp connected me to "reliable contractors" located 40+ miles away in Tracy and Stockton. KB Towing Services was one of the first to respond via the app. They quoted an outrageous price but promised to arrive in 70-80 minutes. Desperate, I agreed. But while waiting, I opened Google Maps and instantly found 4-5 towing companies within a 3-mile radius. I should've trusted Google over Yelp. While I sat roasting in the summer heat inside my dead car, a different tow truck happened to drive by and offered help for a much more reasonable rate. But I was already locked in with KB, even though I called to state it would have saved me $400 and 45 minutes of baking in the hot summer sun. LESSON #2: In an emergency, call 911 or 511. CHP-recommended tows are way cheaper. A CHP officer eventually stopped and told me their contracted tow companies could've gotten me back to Santa Cruz for $350. Meanwhile, I was still waiting. KB finally arrived 90 minutes later--despite being just 45 minutes away. When I asked about the delay, the driver casually said he stopped for lunch and gas in Tracy before heading my way. I don't begrudge anyone a lunch break, but pretending to be "on the way" while stalling--and preventing me from finding someone else--was shady and unprofessional. When I mentioned the CHP tow price, he claimed the officer was "lying" and complained that he makes most of his money towing classic cars for huge markups. Another red flag. And the cherry on top? When I looked into filing a BBB complaint, I discovered that KB Towing Services isn't even a licensed business. Just a guy with a couple of trucks, charging whatever he wants, with no accountability. Bottom line: This was a frustrating, expensive, and preventable experience. Save yourself the headache. Don't rely on Yelp for towing. And definitely steer clear of KB Towing.

    KB Towing came through right before Christmas when my son's car broke down. Johnnie showed up fast, handled the flatbed tow with care, and made a stressful situation easy. You can tell he takes pride in his work and treats people right. Solid tow service when it mattered most. I'd call KB Towing again without hesitation.

    Got my lowered car towed safely, thanks Johnny! Helped out a lot and very informative

    Johnny was awesome!!

    Requested roadside through USAA. KB Towing was assigned to lock out call. Johnny called me immediately after receiving request informed me of his eta. He was on time extremely polite, friendly and knowledgeable. He got to work right away on trying to get into vehicle as keys were inside. The type of vehicle gave him some trouble (side note Dodge Durangos very hard to break into). However, Johnny was very patient worked efficiently and was sure to not cause any damage to the vehicle. After some time Johnny was able to get in & I was able to get the keys and go about my day. Thank you sir for all your help and professionalism. Would highly recommend this company but specifically Mr. Johnny!!

    Nasty tow truck driver who tells client he does not have time to waste but is on his phone talking to someone else.Not worth calling.

    Absolute life savors. I always knew I did not want to change a tire on the highway, but today I…read morelearned I would rather get a tow than attempt it. No where had a truck available to tow me home right away because I would need a flatbed for my Subaru, but I do have a spare. When I called Associated up not only was he super helpful, he was able to help decipher my bad description of where I was as I am not the best with remember what freeway I am on. He was to my location in about 15 minutes with his truck ready to help me with my situation. Very quickly he had my spare on and it aired up ready for me to hit the road. I called at 3:30, I was on the road by 4. I asked him how much, but he informed me that they are apart of the Freeway Dervice Patrol and that it is a free service. I tried to tip him and he refused! At this point another tow truck pulled up and said "Damn Highway Angels stealing our work!" . You guys are Highway Angels. I am confident in my auto ability and you calmed me down. I can only imagine what you do for others you help. Thank you guys again!

    Absolutely terrible experience. I was present when my vehicle was being towed and asked to have it…read morereleased, but the driver refused and continued with the tow anyway. The entire interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational and unprofessional. What should have been a simple conversation turned into an unpleasant experience due to the driver's attitude and lack of respect. Rather than explaining my options or treating me with basic courtesy, I was met with rudeness and a complete disregard for my concerns. He purposely tries to provoke you and uses predatory tactics to take your car illegally. I understand tow companies have a job to do, but there is a right way and a wrong way to treat people. Professionalism, communication, and respect cost nothing. Unfortunately, none of those qualities were present during my experience from the beginning. I would strongly encourage others to know their rights and document every interaction. Based on the experience not only with me but many others have been treated by the company owner. Based on his reviews He seemed to be an honest man at one point in time but over the years you can clearly see he's lost himself internally and how he operates his business ethically.

I highly recommend them!

    I can't say enough good things about Fred and his tow truck company! Fred, who is both the owner…read moreand driver, came to tow my 2015 Tesla Model S when the doors wouldn't open and the car was completely unresponsive. I planned to take it to Tesla service to figure out the issue, but Fred went above and beyond to help. In front of my house and driveway, Fred removed part of the front bumper cover to access the jumper terminals located behind it, since the battery is in the frunk bay and completely inaccessible when the car doesn't respond. He tried jumping the car with his jumper pack, and when it didn't work initially, Fred didn't give up. He called me back over and explained that he used an override setting on his jumper to bypass the car's battery entirely, which finally got the car powered up. Based on this, Fred hinted that the issue was likely just the 12V battery needing replacement. He was careful to clarify that this wasn't mechanical or repair advice, but his insight was incredibly helpful. Once the car powered on and the doors opened, I asked if I could drive it around the block to confirm everything was working, and Fred let me do so. Sure enough, everything worked as expected, saving me the hassle and cost of a tow and likely saving me hundreds--if not thousands--of dollars. Despite not needing the tow in the end, I still paid Fred the full fee and tipped him extra because he put my needs above his own. Fred was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind--qualities that are rare to find these days. I've saved his number as my go-to tow guy and would recommend him to anyone in need of a tow or roadside assistance. Exceptional service!
