    The angel of an employee
    Mary-Anne H.

    So my son, who is 19 years old and autistic, was visiting my husband and I here in Long Beach from Chula Vista. He called me saying his tire had popped and he was scared because he didn't know what to do. Luckily I found this towing company and gave them a call late at night. They answered pretty quickly and said they'd take care of everything and I shouldn't be worried. Fast forward maybe twenty minutes or so and my son calls me to let me know they had arrived. Due to his autism, he has a hard time socializing so I was a bit anxious as to how he would react with the tow truck employees. This is where this employee comes into the story. Once the vehicle was towed to a tire shop, my son was told he could wait at the shop or hang around with the towing employee if he felt nervous/scared of being alone at the tire shop. My son agreed to hang out. The employee asked my son what his favorite thing to do was and my son being my son, told him he loved jacuzzis as it's a stimulate for him. The employee then took my son to his own personal home and let my son use his jacuzzi while he waited for his car to be ready. The employee even went out of his way and joined my son in the jacuzzi. A few hours later and the car was ready. After the jacuzzi and a nice dinner, my son was taken to the shop and he was back on his way to come see his dad and I! In all my years of living, I don't think I have ever seen anyone go this far for a customer. I couldn't be more thankful for this angel of an employee from NK Towing. Thank you so much young man! May god bless you.

    I got a flat tire on the freeway this week, and called AAA. James from NK Towing showed up in less than 1 hour to tow us safely off the freeway and replace our flat tire. The best part is that James even showed me how to replace the tire on my own so I know how to handle the situation the next time. James is a special employee, and provided above-and-beyond customer service. Thank you, James!

    If you get this technician, your vehicle is in good hands!

    AAA has sent this company to help me with my vehicle now three times, and each experience has been better than the last. I rarely ever drop names into my reviews, but my technician today made such an amazing impression on me. Not to mention he gave me a card with his name on it so I feel entitled to use it~ Besides being kind, patient, and accountable, Gunnar was sweet to boot. And how often can you say that about a tow truck driver?! (I worked at a tow yard dispatching trucks for a police impound in LA, so I can tell you first hand, not often haha). The latches on both my doors broke (I'm fibbing, I actually broke one myself while playing with it to see how it moved), and I roped the doors together from the inside so they'd stay closed. Gunnar was easy-going enough to get in my car my preferred way: through the trunk! He was very responsible; he gave me a time frame of events and everything went as planned. Also, he is the first driver to send me photos of my vehicle at its destination- that was so awesome! Overall, while I never look forward to having car issues, I am thankful and will not hesitate to use this company again. Gunnar helped ease my stress in a difficult (actually kinda hilarious) situation.

    This is the tow truck that has my vehicle
    Marti343 3.

    So my registered vehicle (BMW) started having troubles on 5/28/2023. On 5/31/2023 my sister (Who drives the car) called AAA because we are AAA members. We needed to get the car towed to the local BMW dealer and AAA send NK Towing. I was not present when the tow truck driver arrived at my house, but my sister was. Long story short, I meet my sister at the dealer and while she checking the car in, we see the tow truck pull into the lot. The service member asked if I could let the tow truck driver know to park and lower the car in a specific area. So I run out and wave the driver down. When the driver opens his door he doesn't say anything to me and I tell him that the service member said he can drop the car "right in front between A&B in that red zone." This is where the horrible customer service began. The driver looks at me all sour and frowned face and sticks his right arm out with his index finger pointed out and said " you could've just pointed where you wanted me to park." But the tone in which he said it was very condescending and rude. So then I tell him "You don't have to be rude, and try to enjoy your job. I was only delivering a message." The driver said "I don't know who you are I've never seen you before. Are you my customer or an employee. And I do enjoy my job." And I respond "It doesn't seem like it," and I walk away. So... he did have a point... He and I never met before BUT I wasn't asking him to give me the keys to car, grant me access to the car, or to release the car to me. I was just delivering a simple unaggressive message. The value that the driver has on his customers isn't that great. I work customer service and know that you speak to EVERYONE in a polite and approachable tone and manner. We represent a company, and he did not represent NK Towing in a positive light. So if you want NK to tow your vehicle they will, but the drivers might not be the friendliest or most professional individuals. And I didn't get the name of the tow truck driver. Sorry! But if I knew his name I would have posted it. This gentleman, I don't know if he was having a bad day, but should attend a customer service oriented training or seminar. We can all learn something, and what I learned is that I could have introduced myself to the driver before I delivered the message. Maybe that would have helped. But I'm not excusing the drivers unprofessional and rude demeanor.

    I hired Kevin at Carlsbad Mobile Mechanic to diagnose an issue with my vehicle, at which point he…read moreadvised and recommended a radiator replacement. Before approving the work, I specifically asked in writing whether the parts being used were Nissan OEM or aftermarket. I received a direct response stating: "These are OEM parts." Based on that written confirmation, I agreed to move forward with the repair and payment. After the work was completed, I began experiencing serious issues with my vehicle, including stalling to the point where it was no longer safely drivable. Due to these failures, I had to take my vehicle to Nissan for further inspection. During that inspection, it became clear that the radiator installed was not OEM. Nissan also confirmed that OEM radiators would not present the way this one did, including the absence of proper identification. In addition, the coolant/transmission lines had been modified using generic hoses and clamps--something that would not be necessary with an OEM radiator, which is designed to use factory quick-connect fittings. These findings directly contradict what was promised to me in writing prior to the repair. As a direct result of the improper parts and installation, my vehicle sustained significant damage totaling over $15,000 and became unreliable and unsafe to drive, requiring additional time, expense, and inconvenience to address. When I attempted to resolve the situation, I requested receipts and documentation showing where the parts were purchased. These were not provided. In California, automotive repair providers are required to provide documentation and itemization of parts upon request, including itemized invoices and parts information, yet Kevin failed to do so. Instead, I was told that I was a "nightmare" customer and that I was "giving him a headache." He also attempted to shift blame by suggesting the damage must have been caused by a collision or another shop, despite the timeline and circumstances clearly tied to his work. Since then, my attempts to follow up have been ignored. At no point was I informed of any substitution, nor was I given the opportunity to approve the use of non-OEM parts. The use of OEM components was a key factor in my decision to proceed. When a mechanic diagnoses a repair, recommends replacement, and explicitly confirms OEM parts in writing, there is a clear expectation that those terms will be honored. That did not happen here. I strongly recommend that anyone considering working with Kevin at Carlsbad Mobile Mechanic verify all parts being installed, request documentation, and thoroughly inspect the work before accepting completion.

Let's just say I've seen more personality from a brick wall and the brick wall would be less rude. It all started when we had a car park in our driveway illegally. We called to have the car towed and when Michael got there, the fun started. He started the conversation out by not even acknowledging my greeting and handed me a paper to fill out and said where to fill. Once that was taken care of, he asked for my ID, which was fine, but he then started having a fit when he was verifying my info on the paper. He's issue was with my phone number having an LA area code. He kept going over that he wouldn't tow the car if the info wasn't correct and that the number couldn't be mine because it's from LA. I tried to explain that the number was a good number to reach me and I even gave a work number that's an OC number. He then said that he was done and wouldn't tow the car. Long story short, he left and we worked with a company called S&K Towing. Far better experience to say the least.

When the guy for the towing arrived he was very rude and would not pick up the car and just got in his truck and left , saying it was not their policy to pick up cars without the owner being present. If it was OK with AAA and had been arranged then why would they accept the tow and waste my time and theirs as well?? They had to pay that driver and the gas in their tow truck to get nothing in return!! Go figure. All they needed to do was communicate with people and this would have worked out for all parties. In all, why accept the tow if your not going to follow the rules set by AAA.

Im the kind of guy that is able to fix things like this but hard to do from so far away. It's hard to find a trustworthy mechanic especially so far away. Not only was he able to come out and diagnose the problem the same day but he was able to order parts and repair it quickly. It was a tough starter change due to the location and having to remove the manifold ect. I know because ive done it once already and its a very complex repair. The parts cost more than anticipated due to the extra gaskets and coolant needed and he still honored the original quote. We gave him extra because of all the extra work he did. He topped off her break fluid, air in the tires, gave it a once over to make sure that it was tip top shape. Also gave my daughter an education on her car. Even took pictures of all the parts and video of it running smooth. As a father it puts me at ease knowing that I can call him in the future I wish I had mechanics like him closer to me.
