We needed our car towed from Escondido to Temecula. Most towing companies we called charged a pickup fee and an additional rate per mile. Thankfully, those companies didn't work out because as soon as I called Oscar Towing, I was given a flat rate up front. We had the pleasure of working with Jose, who set a time and was there as soon as possible. He communicated with me the entire trip so there was no guess work. Thank you, Jose! We appreciate the last-minute request and how you went above and beyond to ensure our car was delivered so quickly. Will definitely recommend Oscar Towing to friends and family and use in the future. read more

Got locked out (left my keys in the car) and had to call someone. Called places that said open 24/7 but no answer. Another place quoted too much for me so I called Oscar. He charged way less. Oscar was very quick and showed up within 10 mins. Super cool guy and he was patient to get my keys out. Thank you so much Oscar. Definitely keeping him in my contacts for all my car needs. read more

Oscar Towing - Oscar helping me with my lockout. Thank you! - Towing Near Me - Escondido, California

Very prompt tow company in Escondido. I needed a tow to the dealership. I originally called two other tow companies that I've worked with in the past but they never called me back. So I saw Oscar on Yelp and gave him a call. It was nice getting a human being on the phone rather than voice mail. I texted my address and about 20 minutes later the clean tow truck arived. No issues getting my car to the dealership. - If you live in Escondido you must put Oscar's number in your phone. read more

Oscar Towing - Towing Near Me - Escondido, California

My mom was in an accident and so I called her a tow truck. I have talked to Oscar in the past and his prices seemed extremely fair so I saved his number for the future. I called to get the tow and didn't bother asking for the price because, I just wanted ti get my mom and my niece off of the road. The other guy came and I told him that I need the car towed 2.4 miles away he charged me $275 dollars. This seems extremely excessive. What a way to take advantage of the situation. That's over $100 a mile! I will never call again or give out his number. read more

Quick & efficient with good pricing! Oscars towing is reliable & will definitely call them back for any towing services! read more

Oscar responded to my call late at night and said he would drive all the way down to help my in encinitas. After a long hard night talking on the phone with multiple tow companies that felt like they were trying to rob me by asking for THOUSANDS of dollars, Oscar said he could do the job for 450. ASAP towing litterally gave a $3300.00 estimate and Oscar's estimate was $450. read more

What can I say? This place was awesome! Jose was personable on phone calls, I was updated at every step, I was able to take care of billing over the phone....! Everything was done without me ever seeing him or being onsight! (After all I didn't have my car-it was at the shop!). Jose was very nice to talk to and very efficient from start to finish. I don't think it was even an hour and it was a distance for him to drive so this is very expeditious! Huge thanks to Jose for his work effort and ethics! read more

My truck needed a ride to the dealership yesterday and these guys were quick and easy to work with. Texted them my location and they picked it up in less than 20 minutes. The drive was personable and made things easy without costing me an arm and a leg. read more

An employee of mine made the mistake and put def fluid into the diesel. Happens our company truck is a 5500 ram considered a medium weight. I called a number of companies and they all quoted insane numbers for 30 mile tow. Luckily I found Oscar's towing through Yelp. Jose answered and was at my location within 15 minutes. Talk about customer service!! Quickly provided a price and I was happy with it. Thanks Jose, great job and excellent service. read more

Had an emergency car breakdown on the 5 freeway and we were forced to park at a gas station while we waited hours just for a response that never came from AAA SMH. This happened on a Saturday night and no other towing company came to our rescue except Oscar Towing. If it wasn't for Oscar Towing we would probably still be there!!!

Oscar Towing - The pick up - Towing Near Me - Escondido, California

Best service in northern San Diego and all Escondido !!!! recommend this towing company 10/10!! They came fast And my car made it safe !! Will be calling him in the future we had the pleasure of gettin serviced by Oscar himself!! read more

Oscar came very far out of his usual coverage area and still charged a reasonable rate, working with my Insurance carrier and a destination body shop to not have anything come out of my pocket. Would call Oscar in the future for any towing needs I have. He's excited to be getting all new trucks soon. He works with his son and one additional driver, and has a great work ethic. His referral to a body shop was a great one, which I was very cautious of after having bad experiences in desperate situations. The place he took me too is also 5-Star rated on Yelp. He called two spots and didn't take advantage of me being in a vulnerable situation. I am really grateful for his integrity. Despite being in a traumatic accident, working with Oscar was a good experience. He went far out of his way to help me in a tough moment. read more

Oscar Towing - Dropped off at body shop. - Towing Near Me - Escondido, California

Oscar saved the day! He went over and above to help us while we were stranded alongside the freeway between Temecula and Escondido. Highly recommend this family business read more

I compared prices before deciding on a towing service and theirs was the most reasonable. When I contacted via Yelp for an estimate (because like many millennials, I avoid phone calls when I can) I got a prompt response and was able to schedule having my car towed with no trouble at all. The driver arrived punctually and was patient and courteous while I took a bunch a pictures before allowing him to do his job. Everything went smoothly, service was friendly, and I would definitely recommend this business. read more

Oscars towing was super fast. It only took 10 minutes for him to show up. He was really knowledgeable, friendly and well priced. Highly recommend and would choose him again if I need to be towed read more

In the realm of roadside assistance and towing services, there can be some real threats to your integrity and wallet. Oscar of Oscar towing will be up front and truthful with you and the service you may require. He helped me out while I was in a bind as most folks are when they require a tow. But he said he would be to me and my car in 30 minutes and was there before the 30 minutes was up! For those in sticky situations where your vehicle may not run in 90 degree heat, these types of promises are worth their weight in gold. Oh and I did not mention he did all of this on a Sunday. I do have to mention, I use roadside assistance through my insurance company and they failed me twice with two different companies. So be weary of who your roadside assistance company contracts out. For me, I'll be calling Oscar in the future. read more

I had a 2016 Chevy spark that would not start and had no neutral override in the most annoying spot in the world, it was down a long driveway hooked over by a garage. Jose from Oscar towing in one pivot backed up into the narrow incline driveway and managed to get the car that has been dead for months started long enough to get it into neutral and down to his truck. Quick, inexpensive and very well done. What isn't there to like? read more

Oscar was short of excellent. I needed our car towed back home and he got us there in no time. Given our current circumstances, his quote was the most rational for the service I needed. Great personality as well. read more

I would NOT recommend for areas other than Escondido as you can tell Jose rolls outta bed to go to random calls. I seriously doubt that there is more than one person with a tow truck in this "company". I could tell that this guy lived super close to where I needed a jump start because he got here in less than 10 minutes. When I initially called though he said it would cost $75 and it would be an hour wait. I have no doubt in my mind that Jose just wanted to do the bare minimum in order to help start my car, collect his money then take off back to his bed as quickly as possible. [[[Star Breakdown]]] : +1 star: for simply existing locally to where I was located. +1 star: for getting here quickly. -1 star: poor customer service -1 star: terrible phone answering. (Not really open 24 hrs if you don't answer ur phone) -1 star: Jose did not educate me about how to Really maintain battery charge. Telling me to run my car for only 5 minutes was NOT good advice! [[[My Experience]]] : - I had to call multiple times to get someone to pick up. Still I kept trying bc he got good Yelp reviews. Then I had to re-call more times (but this was not guys fault, as my phone was in a dead zone..). Mind you though, after I initially called him, Jose never called me back and each time I tried to call again the phone just rang forever. This is after I gave Jose my location + he gave me his price. - I began to get irritated but I refused to call around, out of sheer exhaustion & impatience. Eventually I was quoted $75 for a jump start & Jose ended up getting here within 10 mins. "COOL. I am ready to HIT THE ROAD. Let's do this!!!" - I felt reassured Jose pulled up in a tow truck. I thought "awesome! I don't even need a tow but I like the reassurance that I was being met by a professional, who Knows what he's doing. Bc he owns a tow truck! Mmm hmm..." but I continue... - Jose props open my hood, after insisting already -over the phone- that I pop open the hood myself. "Wha???!!But I'm a Girl!!" an inner voice in me cried. I figured out where the lever to my hood was. - Jose pulls out a jump start pack & connects his cables to my dead battery. He runs it for less than 5 minutes, in the meantime not really saying anything. Awkward silence... I just tried to fill in the silence by talking about how "it sure sucks when you forget that if you are charging your phone & listening to music (for a While!) and you have all your inside lights on then ur battery will die!!!" Guy awkwardly nods + I'm sure he didn't want to be here. - Jose walks to his tow truck + doesn't really interact with me. I've had better customer service just by holding a rock. Not even a cool looking rock. Just any average one! I can't tell if he's just extremely shy or rude. I'm almost too tired to care bc at 1am it seems the same. -He takes my $100 bill and hands me $20 in change. My brain: "Wait.. huh?? Since when do tow truck drivers just assume they're gonna be tipped??! Dude just shorted me $5" I was kinda annoyed but also still tired so I just said "f**k it!" and "let it be..." WHATEVER!!! LET'S DO THIS!!! - after 5 mins Jose me try to start up my car. It starts! But then Get This!!! He then disconnects the jumper cables & grabs his charging pack. Jose then says "run your car for like 5 minutes then you should be good to go". - He does NOT wait to see if my car would even take the charge!! - He had no equipment so he could test to see if I need to replace my battery/to see if my battery will even hold the charge. - This guy hops into his tow truck + bails, leaving me hanging after I just gave him my hard-earned money that I had originally budgeted for my month's gas. I was PISSED. - AFTER THE GUY LEFT (after he acted like he didn't give a s^%t whether the charge would work or not!!!), I had to GOOGLE what to do next. Fortunately for me, this was not my 1st jump start so I did remember that it's important to let the car run for a while then it's a good idea to try to drive it for 30 mins. Would NOT recommend this "company". Am hating that I gave $75 to someone who did not really do any work to earn it. My review would have been different had this guy been more professional, acted like he cared more but that just wasn't the case. Call the next Roadside Assistance place bc this one SUCKS! read more

Outstanding reasonable service moving my vehicle from where it broke down in Esco to my home in VC. Thanks!

My car wouldn't start so I started searching for towing services to get my car to the repair shop. Jose replies quickly with an all inclusive price that I was happy with. He showed up in less than an hour-even with morning commute traffic! We arrive at the shop, and he handles the drop off of my vehicle promptly and professionally. I would highly recommend anyone use Oscar Towing. Jose- Thanks for the excellent service. You really made an annoying situation better to deal with :) read more

Not only good service, very responsive, transparent pricing, shows up on time. But highly skilled. I have a 40 foot rig that I was trying to park in a very challenging spot with a very steep driveway. A lot of people could not have done it, it was done to perfection. So lucky to have found this service. Highly recommend. read more

Thank you to Oscar and his drivers for such a quick response time. Quicker than the wait time from the insurance company roadside assistance to pick up their line. Literally the car was hooked and at the mechanic in less than an hour. read more

It was late at night and Oscar Jr responded to my request immediately and answered all my questions and provided a reasonable quote to tow my van from San Marcos to Poway. Jose came in the next day to load the van on his truck. He was very accommodating, pleasant to talk to and drove safely to the shop. Thank you Oscar Towing for your great service! read more

I just spoke to Jose at Oscar Towing he was very helpful on what type of towing service was needed for all the cars that are parked around our 4-plex. Thank goodness there are people still out there that genuinely want to help. Gave me the right contact and person to speak too. read more

Great service! I had chatted with Jose on Yelp and then we had a phone call. It was so simple and he gave me a great deal, especially for being all the way out in Valley Center with a locked car! No keys, no nothing, but he charged an extremely reasonable amount considering all of that. Not to mention, but he was on time, even early to pickup the car. He had a new towing truck that worked magically. Since he couldn't get in the car, the wheels were stuck but he had his own secret maneuvering way of getting the car on and off the truck. Even the employee at the dealership was like "how are you going to get it off onto the concrete if the wheels are locked". Jose said, "I have a way, you'll see." and the rest is history. He is a pro at using the tow truck and I would 100% call him/this company again. Thanks so much Oscars Towing, especially Jose! Woohoo! read more

Oscar Towing - Towing Near Me - Escondido, California

*POP! Thump thump thump* I had a tire explode on my way back from San Diego to Las Vegas on a Sunday evening. After I captured my runaway heart, I pulled over to the left hand shoulder of the road. I smacked my head because I left my tire iron back in Las Vegas because I had emptied out my trunk and back seats for a huge IKEA haul. (IKEA is coming to Vegas in 2016!) Dumb, I know, but it was time to work on getting my car off the freeway and getting the tire swapped. I pulled up the trusty Yelp App and called the closest tow truck companies to my car, 30 minutes north of Escondido on the I15-N. The first company that I called asked me to call dispatch. I left two messages and dispatch never got back to me. The second company I called said their driver was on a run and it would take him 60 minutes until he could leave to get to me. When I spoke to Oscar, he said he could be to my car in 20 minutes. Oscar was true to his word and had my car up on his truck in under a half-hour. While Oscar was on the way, I was looking for the nearest tire shops. Coming from Vegas, everything is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. 5:15p.m. on a Sunday night, the closest tire shops I could find were a Firestone and a Walmart Supercenter in Vista. Oscar knew the place and said he could get us to the Firestone before it closed at 6:00p.m. Oscar was really friendly on the way to Vista, we talked about his favorite football team, The San Diego Chargers, Las Vegas, and his home. Oscar got us to the Firestone in Vista about 10 minutes before it was closing up shop. Oscar's price was reasonable and I was extremely impressed with how quick he got to my car, as the car was stuck in the middle of the I-15N pretty far away from any cities. I would recommend Oscar's to anyone looking for a reasonably priced tow in the Escondido area. read more
