Edgar was my tow truck driver and he saved my a**. My transmission went out on me on the freeway while I was heading home from my bachelors party and the transmission went out on an overpass and I was stranded. Not to mention it's Labor Day so who knows who was available. Edgar answered right away and was there in less than 10 min. Towed me from San Diego all the way to Moreno Valley and was kind, considerate and great at his job! I knew it was gonna be pricey and he still took care of me! I really appreciate you guys! read more

Ledesmas Towing - Me getting picked up by Edgar - Towing Near Me - San Diego, California

BUYER BEWARE! $4,000 CAR PURCHASE TURNED INTO AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. If I could give ZERO stars, I would. Please read this before trusting anyone associated with this business with your money. I have screenshots, messages, and DMV receipts to back up my experience. Earlier this year, I purchased a 2017 Nissan Sentra for $4,000 from Saldana Guillermo, who was listed as the registered owner of the vehicle. What should have been a straightforward private vehicle sale turned into weeks of unnecessary stress, unanswered calls, unprofessional behavior, additional expenses, and a complete lack of accountability. RED FLAG #1: THEY TOOK MY $4,000, BUT I COULDN'T EVEN TRANSFER THE CAR INTO MY NAME. When I went to the DMV, I discovered that the seller had signed the title incorrectly, left nearly the entire required paperwork blank, and failed to provide a bill of sale. THE DMV REJECTED MY PAPERWORK. So there I was, $4,000 out of pocket, with a vehicle I couldn't properly register in my name because the seller hadn't completed the necessary paperwork. I originally purchased the vehicle through Facebook Marketplace. When I attempted to contact him, his Facebook page had disappeared, leaving me with no way to reach him through our original conversation. Eventually, I discovered that the address listed on the vehicle's title was actually the address of his workplace -- THIS BUSINESS. RED FLAG #2: GETTING SOMEONE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY WAS LIKE PULLING TEETH. I called the business and spoke with a woman who assured me she would put me in contact with him. SHE NEVER DID. Days passed. No call. No update. Nothing. I eventually had to involve family members just to try to establish contact with someone who had already accepted THOUSANDS of dollars from me. After approximately a WEEK of getting absolutely nowhere, I called again. This time, the woman on the phone was unbelievably rude and disrespectful. Her attitude toward a legitimate issue was completely unacceptable. I had the call on speakerphone, so other people witnessed how she spoke to me. At that point, my uncle had to call and warn that we would involve the authorities if the situation wasn't resolved. Think about that. We had to bring up LAW ENFORCEMENT just to get cooperation with paperwork that should have been completed correctly at the time of purchase. Only THEN were we finally told we could come in the following day. Unfortunately, that conflicted with our work schedules. I explained that we could come over the weekend and asked them to confirm a time. IGNORED. AGAIN. We showed up that Saturday anyway. And the best part? When we arrived, everyone seemed completely clueless about the situation, as though nobody had communicated ANYTHING. I even had to pay additional money for a last-minute mobile notary to come out because the title correction documents required notarization. All of this could have been avoided if the seller had handled the transaction properly from the beginning. RED FLAG #3: SURPRISE! $212 IN UNPAID CITATIONS AND PARKING TICKETS. After FINALLY getting the corrected paperwork, I returned to the DMV, relieved that this nightmare was almost over. WRONG. My registration and title transfer costs were significantly higher than expected. Why? Because the vehicle had $212 in outstanding citations and parking tickets from the previous ownership period, associated with the vehicle while Saldana Guillermo was the registered owner. These were NOT tickets I accumulated. These were NOT expenses I agreed to take responsibility for. And yet, I WAS THE ONE WHO HAD TO PAY THE $212 TO COMPLETE MY DMV TRANSACTION. These questions were asked at the time of purchase and was given information that did not match what I later discovered. I am still owed that $212, based on how difficult it was just to obtain correctly completed paperwork, I have little confidence that I will be reimbursed voluntarily and may have to take it further RED FLAG #4: IMPORTANT VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUES WERE NOT DISCLOSED IN THE LISTING. As if everything else wasn't enough, the Facebook Marketplace description also failed to mention some extremely serious issues with the vehicle. * The passenger seat belt was locked. * The airbags had deployed and were not functioning. These are not minor cosmetic flaws. These are serious safety concerns that ANY potential buyer deserves to know about BEFORE purchasing a vehicle. I had to discover these issues myself during my inspection rather than being informed about them in the listing. AND THE MOST FRUSTRATING PART? THE COMPLETE LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY. I wasn't asking for special treatment. I wasn't asking for a favor. I was asking for correctly completed paperwork for a vehicle I had ALREADY PAID $4,000 FOR. Instead, I dealt with repeated unanswered messages, rude communication, unnecessary delays, additional expenses, and ultimately unpaid citations that became my problem. read more

Amazing and so easy to work with! I needed a tow since my insurance company only covers 3 tows in a period of 6 months and we were going back and forth with the shop working on the hybrid battery. It's so easy to call and get a quote (Ledesmas had the best price in town hands down) and very easy to work with. The driver contacted us almost immediately after setting up the tow with the office rep. I was able to pay them through Zelle so if you don't have cash on you like most people now days don't worry they take Zelle. I hope not to need a tow anytime soon but if I do I know who to call again and I will definitely be recommending them to family and friends. Excellent customer service and affordable and fast. Thanks guys! Keep up the amazing customer service! read more

Ledesmas Towing - Best price in all of San Diego - Towing Near Me - San Diego, California

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Beats any price, super fast and reliable. I needed my car towed to the shop as soon as possible and they made it happen. read more

I know there's mixed reviews about this company but I had a pleasant experience. Service was quick and easy. Called around 0830, service showed up around 0900. Technician came out in the time frame I was quoted for and loaded my mother's vehicle on their truck bed without any hassle. Didn't get overcharged or anything and the technician moved swiftly to load our car up. Not the worst pricing. Other towing companies as well as my insurance were gonna charge an arm and a leg to be towed 6 miles from my location to my mechanic. Ledesmas charged me a fraction of the amount. Can't complain. Thanks for your help. r/sm read more

Came fast best price in San Diego by far . Even offered to give me a ride home when others wouldn't thank you ! read more

Ledesmas Towing - Towing Near Me - San Diego, California

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I live in Los Angeles and my fuel pump went out while on a business trip in San Diego. After calling multiple towing companies (even AAA), it was Ledesmas Towing who I found to be the most reasonably priced. Then we get to how I was treated...Spoke to Leo first, who was kind and a great communicator. This continued with the driver, David. As a woman, alone, hours from home, and upset about the circumstances with my car...the situation was made better by David. He's a great communicator, excellent at his job and made he me feel safe. David was meticulous in his security of my vehicle and it's obvious he's one of the best in the business. I am so grateful I found Ledesmas Towing. Thank you Leo and David. If I could offer more stars, I would. read more

Rápido y eficiente Excelente servicio disponibilidad y sobre todo amabilidad. Gracias read more

I know there are a couple of mixed reviews on here, however my experience was amazing. My car engine decided to fail on me this morning and I was stuck on the 805 highway. I called and someone came out within an hour and a half. Very affordable pricing, I just needed to get down the street and other companies were trying to charge me an arm and a leg. The person that came was very nice, shook my hand and my dad's hand, then got my car onto the tow truck ramp. Great customer service. I kept his number just in case I need it for the future. read more

I started making calls early in the morning to set an appointment to have my truck picked up. I spoke with Leo, who was exceptionally nice... and the price was right. The driver of this very clean flatbed, was also incredibly easy to work with, as I had a few things going on that morning and he was more than patient with me. Ledesma's Towing service is a business I would definitely use again, as well as, refer to a friend. read more

Great friendly knowledgeable employees. You know it wasn't Eduardo's first rodeo. This was my first time utilizing Ledesma's towing and I would definitely call on them again if needed. I will highly recommend Ledesma's towing to all my friends. Thanks again for getting me out quickly and safely home.... much appreciated read more

Ledesmas Towing - Ledesma's to the rescue with their knowledge friendly experience employee (Eduardo) Thanks again for rescuing from the 805 freeway. - Towing Near Me - San Diego, California

I had to use this service last month when my car decided to just crap out and have the starter die on me. So I called my local mechanic and they recommended this towing service and another driver. At least it happened in a gas station so it was a location that the driver could at least find on GPS. But the waiting was the hassle. They're based in Chula Vista so it took about a half hour to reach where I was stranded, which was admittedly better than the other tow truck driver I called (he was in Oceanside, an hour away) and even then, the driver didn't initially turn into the gas station. He went off on a side street and had to circle back around. The truck was so big that I think he had to take the long way around to where I wanted him to take me so that he could drive on streets that could fit the truck. First time I've ever had to get my car towed. Not a fun experience by any measure. read more

A friend recommended this Towing Company . One of our box trucks started having car trouble on the freeway around 2pm. We called Ledesmas spoke with Leo. He quoted over the $650.00. I asked him if the accepted credit cards. He replied via text statement that they did. I gave them the green light to come tow the box truck. Their driver didn't show up until 5:20pm over 3 hours later. The driver seemed to have trouble hooking up our vehicle, he was messing with the driveshaft. He removed a couple of bolts saying he needed to loosen the driveshaft because he didn't have the keys. However, we have made it clear to Leo that The keys were in the lockbox. The truck didn't get to our shop which was less than 19 miles away over an hour later. Once the driver got to our shop Leo called and demanding payment. He was very rude. They added a hidden fee of 4% for the credit card. When we asked if they accepted credit cards they didn't mention a extra fee. When we questioned him he said either pay fee, or $650.00 cash or we will impound your truck. They basically bullied us to pay the fee. Worst experience ever. I asked Leo if that was they way he treated all his customers he said just pay and keep it moving...When we paid over the phone as soon as the card went through and was charged he said "ok your card went through split" and hung up. By fare the worst experience of customer service. Worst than the DMV!! read more

Very poor service. Just dropped my car in the middle of the street without properly setting it by the curb.

I was given a rate of $170 when called on the phone, but was charged $270! They mentioned that there might be an additional charge of $80 if the car is not accessible or if the gear would not switch to neutral. The car was accessible! They connected the portable battery and drove it to the truck platform in 1min. read more

Terrible service!!! LEO towed my motorcycle to a bike shop and tied down my bike wrong causing my fairings to break. He said he will FIX it but all he does is ghost me. I asked to speak to the owner Victor and he has never called me. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! Legal action and police report will be submitted and possible court hearing. Will report to the bbb.org aka the better business bureau read more

Mat, the driver gets a 5. But... $75 for 3/10 of a mile tow and 15 minutes brings it down:( read more

Today around 3:30 pm a large yellow tow truck was swerving very dangerously on the 54 narrowly hitting several other vehicles. After witnessing the truck continuing to do this for a couple minutes I pulled along side and saw the driver who was texting on his phone. The truck had Ledesma Towing painted on it and the driver appeared to be wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates hat. I wouldn't trust the guy to tow my vehicle and he is a danger others on the road. read more

I called ASHER TOWING in SAN MARCOS to jump my battery and possibly tow in San Marcos and they transfered me to this LEDESMA Towing in National City. They arrived 40 minites later than they promised. We agreed on a price of 140$ which I thought was already very expensive prior to the tow company coming out. The driver attempted to "jump" my battery. He did not actually hook up the cables properly. He then put my car on the tow truck after telling me the problem wasn't my battery. While my car was being towed a couple miles to the car shop, the driver said the price jumped 45$ to $18"because I needed a tow". This was after agreeing to the price which included towing. My car was on the truck driving down to the car shop while telling me the price jumped. After my car was at the car shop, they jumped the battery in seconds. THIS TOWING COMPANY IS A TOTAL RIP OFF! read more

Don't use them!! We paid them cash and driver claims he had no receipts on him. Owner Leo said they would send me one? It's been a few weeks no receipt and now the office nor Leo will answer my calls? Very shady company plus they price gauge you if your stuck in a certain situation! read more

Gave these guys a call for a towing service after seeing their ad on offer up. Gave me an estimate plus time of arrival. They gave me a good deal plus a discount for mentioning their ad on offer up. The gentleman arrived 5 minutes earlier and picked up the car that needs an engine swap. Definitely the guys to call and use for towing services. Awesome service!!! Highly recommend read more

Ledesmas Towing - Towing Near Me - San Diego, California

This company is fantastic! They saved me And my daughter from the side of the road last night. My car completely shut down on the freeway and I was in a panic. I called them at 10:30 and they showed up less than 10 minutes later. Leo was the driver and he was very nice and helpful. Price was very reasonable with other companies and they were very careful with my car. I definitely recommend Ledesma's to everyone I know. read more

Polite and receptive which many are not*. ... They really went out on a limb for me...

I am very pleased and surprised with how well the customer service was when I went into the vista location! Lisa helped me out giving me proper informatio, and overall great service during my unfortunate visit into this business establishment. I was already very distraught over my situation and Lisa made me feel better about the circumstances, being professional yet empathetic at the same time. This company is lucky to have an employee like her and she deserves this review and some kind of recognition for her ability to care for each individual and their situation, while maintaining professionalism, having in-depth knowledgeable on how to handle each unique situation and a thorough well done job all around! thanks Lisa! You were so amazing - words can't describe my gratitude and appreciation for You! read more

Really happy with their service. They were quick and gave me a really good price.Cheaper than any other tow company and I checked around. Definitely recommend to anyone needing tow services. Excellent all around read more

I want to thank Leo for helping me get my keys out of my locked out car. He saw me struggling to get my keys and he stopped by and offered help with professional tools to avoid damaging my car and sure enough in less than 5 minutes I was able to get into my car. Thank you so much for your help! read more

I don't recommend this towing company unless you want to pay much more than quoted. I was quoted $75 for towing, and ending up paying over $200 due to "advice" from the worker! This place uses "bait and switch" tactics to get your business, don't fall for it! read more

Never calling them again. I was charged $81. They only accept cash and took 30 minutes to run a debit card with another $3 charge. The driver and person on the phone said I wasn't there at the exact moment he arrived so he left. They couldn't tow the vehicle without my keys so I left work. Even after mentioning this to the company, it will take me 20 minutes and even after notifying that I was on my way on the initial call I was charged extra. When in fact, they probably left to do another job and charged me for calling them after they knew I would take 20 min to arrive. Repercussions were I got in trouble at work, payed extra without being notified prior to towing, paying extra for not having cash. If you are not next to your vehicle I wouldn't call, get a price check first and also have cash. Hassle and Time consuming . Everything took longer than expected, even to write this review..Never again! read more

I havent heard before with this towing company. But i tried this company is good and affordable and friendly driver. I sattisfied with their service and i recomend it. read more

I was searching for a modest towing company (fair price/good service) here in Chula Vista and came across 2 other companies who were also rated 5 stars. Tried calling them 2x and did not get an answer (it was around 11:30sh - Lunchtime?), so I tried calling this company and a Lady answered and helped me out in the process. Asked her how much it would cost and to my surprise it was way lower than what I was quoted online from my Insurance Co. Put a go signal on this one and was told of waiting time of 30-45 mins. I even got a courtesy call before the scheduled time that the driver will be arriving in 5 to 10 mins. I met the driver (Leo) who courteously introduced himself and moved my car into position. In less than 25 mins. it was all set to go 17 miles to destination Repair shop. Thanks Ledesmas' staff coz you made my day! I highly recommend this company for a job well done-very professional from beginning to end! read more

A male driving truck CA 0519564 license plate 11410M1 was delivering a vehicle to my neighborhood. I was actually trying to park my vehicle in my garage. I backed out of the parking lot pace and was driving towards my driveway area and he started to pull closer and closer as if he did not see me. I stopped honked my horn and he kept pulling closer to me. I got out of my vehicle and yelled at him but he did nothing but waive his hand to go like move. I kept my car where it was and did not move it because he does not own the road to be rude to people living in the community. Eventually he hopped over the curb to get around me with approx. 1ft in between my car and the side of his truck. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY THEY ARE RUDE. I called the number on the side of the truck and asked is this a general number the guy on the other end said "why what's wrong with one of my drivers" as if it was the guy driving whom answered shared my thoughts on the situation and they did not care. But if my car actually got hit thy would care with a huge bill they would have to fork out. USE SOMEONE ELSE SHADY BUSINESS. read more

UNPROFESSIONAL - SCAM ARTESTS - AVOID AT ANY AND ALL COSTS I have never written a negative Comment on any business in my life, but this place deserves to be out of business. You owe it to your fellow patrons, and to other towing businesses that are trying to make an honest buck and treat people with respect to NOT support Ledesma towing. As for the bitter details... I called a few places and found the price of a tow for my Ford F350 to be around $70- $80. (10 miles from my house to the repair shop.) They offered to do it for $70. I told them great, come get the truck. The guy showed up on time, had a very easy time hooking up my truck and then just took off without letting me know he was going or without me signing anything. I thought this was odd, but oh well. A ten mile tow took him like an hour and a half. By this time I was on an appointment. I then get a call from MY repair shop telling me that this guy is asking my repair shop to pay him. UNPROFESSIONAL. If he had told me he was ready to leave with my truck, I would have had him write me an invoice and pay cash. Instead, he is burdening my repair shop with paying the towing bill. Fortunately, they know me and were okay to pay him and put the money on my repair bill however, the owner knew that the price the guy was asking was out of line. He wanted $110.00. That's about 37% above what I had agreed to, and way out of line for this tow as well. He called me and I told him not to pay him anything more than $70. I then contacted Ledesma and the same guy I spoke to earlier started to give me a hard time. He tried every excuse, and every threat to try and get me to go with the $110 bill. I was shocked and angered that this guy had all of this at the ready. It immediately occurred to me that he must be very accustomed and comfortable doing this all the time to be THIS at-ease with it. He brought up things like weight, whether or not my truck was a dually,( which it wasn't and he knew it), had to talk to the manager etc. I aggressively told him that we negotiated a price of $70 for the tow. He knew exactly what kind of truck it was, and the exact pickup and delivery location. Undeterred, he then started with THREATS. Stating things in the CA law that allow towing companies to impound my vehicle and keep it until all towing and storage fees are paid. Unbelievable! Again, I am certain that he must do this to everyone based on the ease and quickness that he was able to come up with this stuff. I had to call Chula Vista PD and give an accounting. I'm not sure whether or not Chula Vista Police forced him to release my vehicle, or whether he just realized that he had nothing to go on, but it took all that for him to release my truck for the negotiated price of $70. I expect them to try to refute this as they will undoubtably lose all of there business and advertising dollars from this site. To prove my case, just call a couple companies and check the price of a 10 mile tow for an F350 - Non Dually. read more

I honestly would not call these guys unless you really need them. 2 stars for their pricing. But 0 stars for their business.i had to haul a motorcycle from lakeside to main street chula vista right in front of their yard. I called way before to get a quote and we were not looking at more than $100. I finally called them when i needed them at 7:45pm, they said they were on their way a bunch of times. After waiting 3 hours, we decided to drive the motorcycle home. As soon as we were taking off, they got there. Already almost 11pm. What the heck! I didnt argue because we were so exhausted and just wanted to get home. This guy didnt even know how to hook up the bike and me and my friend had to help him. He tells me to expect a good $120- $140 and when I asked why, he said because its overtime. I called at almost 730 and took them 3 hours for a 30 min drive. I ended up paying 135 because thats what his boss said. I just think they ripped me off so they could pay the driver extra with extra money. I will call their boss tomorrow and get pricing all day long. Make sure you get an exact price or really close to it and make sure they wont overcharge. I will write an update as soon as I speak to his boss about this situation.hey $35 is $35 dollars. Friendly people but took too long and overcharge, but thats just my first experience with them read more

I needed a short distance tow and called Ledesmas Towing. The tow truck driver arrived in less then 10 mins and had my car to its destination in no time. He was very professional, friendly and appreciated my business. Plus, they only charged me a nominal fee for being a local job. I would recommend them to everyone in the San Diego county area. read more

On 08-15-17, at about 08:00 P.M., I was leaving Costco on H St. in Chula Vista going eastbound to the intersection of Tierra Del Rey. Traffic was heavy at the intersection. When I got a green light, I was making a right turn into Tierra Del Rey going southbound. I had to slow down while making the turn because of the traffic jam. I noticed a small dark color sedan on the other side turning signal to make a left turn but it had to stop because my side had the priority. At that moment, I saw a yellow towing truck coming from behind that sedan and the driver started to honk that sedan repeatedly. The sedan driver could not make the turn because of the traffic, so the towing truck driver veered to the left of that car into the opposite side of road and made a left turn. The truck driver almost hit me broadside because I was slowing down while make the right turn. I was not able to move forward because of the traffic in front, so he honked me repeatedly. When the traffic southbound got the green light, I moved forward and I saw the truck moved to the right lane going southbound toward H Street. I could read the logo as, Ledesma's Towing and the phone number on the truck is (619) 474-2951. I came home and called the above number to file an informal complaint verbally. A male answered the phone and I asked him if I could file a complaint against a company driver. I began to tell him what was happening and I tried to emphasize the truck driver's movement was very dangerous posing a huge liability to his company. The male just hung up on me without saying a word. First of all, the truck driver movement is dangerous by passing the other car into the left side of the road and he could cause head on collision. He was very rude when he kept honking on people with a very loud horn while moving in a very small intersection. The truck driver showed his careless and irresponsibility to the public safety. Who ever answered the phone showed a terrible customer service of this company. How come he did not want to take a constructive complaint which was good for his company. Their actions don't even worth a star service. read more
