    dead in-laws car.

    My father-in-law passed away so we were storing his car at our house while probate was being approved by the courts. Unfortunately the car, Kia, was stolen and SJPD finally notified us. The car was towed by Motor Body to their yard waiting for us to claim it. The charge was $229 for the tow and $125 for the first 4 hours of storage. We were at work and couldn't break away for a few hours so the total was $450 for it being there less than 8 hours. Ironically enough they have an auction once a week for cars they tow that the owners can't afford to retrieve them. Sounds like something that could have the RICO statute applied to it.

    What they left behind.

    We live in a very bad neighborhood, and cars are constantly getting stolen, broken into, damaged, you name it. Homeless cars, RVS, abandoned vehicles. But somehow, our truck got tagged. It had current registration. It's our work truck. But to break into our truck to supposedly "put the truck in neutral", failed to do that along with leaving his break in tools behind. Door wedge, the long break in bar for some low life who will do god only knows what is our already vandalized neighborhood. Ring camera has them breaking in and dragging our 1990 box truck 48 feet without it being put in neutral. Which is why they got into the truck to begin with right. What a joke of a company. Can't train your employees properly to do the job correctly. We followed behind the tow truck driver, who ran two red lights, disregarded the height of the truck, and hit multiple trees. Tried talking to the manager Aldo, who gave us the run around. Called more than 10 times trying to resolve who paying the damages on the rear end after being hanked and dragged. The rear end is now making a humming noise. Flat spotted rear tires. Dragged hitch down to the nut... like yall are the worst tow company to put trust into. Managers apparently don't call people back. How can you seriously say this is quality work you do? Let alone be proud to work for such a shit company. The manager today told us to call the police if we have an issue. Is this how customer service is handled at your tow yard? Your company deserves that 3 star review.

    Crack! Coz air out

    Rate 0 if I can!!! My car is towed by the police report bc I blocked the drive way. I'm not gonna blame on the police but the tow guys who damaged my car!!! My wheel offset has a huge crack on the side after being towed!! Plus, they did not allow me to check my car or even entering in their front door until I pay for the f bill. I didn't know this issue until I find that my tire's low pressure in the following morning. Just run away if u don't want to be in any issue...

    My vehicle was stolen and was dumped somewhere and Police had it towed by Motor Body, a day later when I came back to town, I reported to Police that my vehicle is missing, Police said it's impounded because it was left in the middle of the road. I explained to the Police that I parked my car 2 days ago on the side of the street next to my house. Police said ok, your vehicle was stolen then because it was found some 12 miles away abandoned. So I submitted a stolen car report to Police. Police waived the release fee, but Motor Body doesn't have a heart and still charged the full price of towing and storage to a grand total of $405 for 2 days of storage that I didn't plan in the first place and definitely not my fault that my car was stolen. Now I'm broke with a car that creaks like it's gonna break when you drive it. The thieves have maltreated my car and now it's breaking apart. This feels more like a scam. The thugs steals a car, the Police have it towed, the towing company tows and stores the car = more money for the towing company. The Police didn't make any money because they waived the fees but the towing company collects all the money. Good luck to us law-abiding citizens, hopefully all of us have theft insurance.

    Fernando saving my life.

    See all

    This review is long overdue. Ironically, it took another towing company completely screwing us over…read morefor me to finally leave this review -- and for that, I apologize. UNIQUE Towing made everything easy, transparent, and stress-free from start to finish. No hidden charges, no weird surprises, no drama. The way they handled our trailer, equipment, and towing setup showed they actually know what they're doing. Professional, organized, and clearly experienced -- the real deal. Meanwhile, our recent experience with The Best San Jose Towing was the complete opposite. Honestly, I'm over here ranting in another company's review because that experience was THAT bad. UNIQUE Towing should be the example of how towing companies operate: honest, fair, and transparent. Thank you again, UNIQUE Towing. Please never change and never get greedy like some other companies out there. People notice the difference.

    I was involved in a three-car collision on a freeway in San Jose. CHP dispatched this tow company…read moreto remove my vehicle from the freeway. The tow truck took over an hour to arrive. During that time, a truck matching the description drove past my location without stopping. I called the dispatch number provided by CHP, but they were unable to locate or provide an update on the assigned tow truck. Ultimately, I contacted a different tow company, which was able to respond and assist me. Based on this experience, I would not rely on this company for roadside assistance in a time-sensitive or safety-critical situation.
