    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

    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.

If I would've taken it to a shop it would have been sitting there all day. FYI I have a hybrid and not every one can work on this type of car. Definitely using again.

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.
