This company and owner Jacob is incredible! During a very snowy and slippery evening I was hauling an horse trailer with horse in it! As we were crossng a bridge our van skidded into the median. Fortunately we amd thorse was OK. Pattons towing came to the site right away and spent the better part of three hours helping to hook up trailer and van Their main concern as they said repeatedly w as that we and the horse were safe! They opened their big truck for me to sit in and then they drove me, the horse trailer and the horse home to Olmsted Township OH stpopping every three miles or so to check on the horse! They were incredible and I highly recommend them for any tow that you need! Karen Reining for Hope a 501 C 3 Non profit read more

Had my car towed there. Went to get it and it was squeezed into a space so tight that I had a hard time getting in my car. Debris was in the lot that could give flat tires and the lot was not paved but a uneven dirt lot. read more

Beware Pattons. They run a racket with Fairview Park and Rocky River Police. $327 to get my car released from impound! What a ripoff!

Very friendly and helpful. They showed up within ten minutes. Highly recommended! They were easy to get in touch with and price was good.

IF YOUR CAR IS IMPOUNDED HERE, READ THIS FIRST: - they will *ONLY* accept payment **IN CASH** (no credit cards, no Venmo, not even checks! In 2024!) - they will *ONLY* accept EXACT CHANGE - they *REQUIRE* you to present the DRIVER'S LICENSE OF THE PERSON WHO DRIVES YOU TO THE LOT (no idea what they do if you bike there or something) They charge you more for each day your car is there. A cynical observer might suspect the business has maximized the number of hoops one must jump through so that they can charge the unprepared more. Call ahead to find out what you owe. Have the cash ready. And try to be nice to the lady at the window -- I doubt any of this is her doing. Good luck! read more

Got my car towed by them. $25 dollars a day for storage and they don't even take card? No way this business is legit. They hide everything unless you ask about it, don't use their service and if you're forced to use them, prepare to get buttfucked. Worst company I've ever had to deal with. At least let me pay with card, I hope whoever owns this business goes to hell. read more

I just bought my trailer and was on my way up to get it weighed and I got pulled over the cops had it towed I was told it was going to be $150 from the driver so I called up there to pattons towing and they said it would be $290 just for a few hours they tacked on $25 for storage plus labor and fuel what a rip off I would not recommend using this company I will be getting a hold of the BBB also just went to court today in avon lake and they stuck me with a $260 fine with court cost read more

Jacob saved the day! The recent snowstorm trapped one of my friends driving into the neighborhood. After failing miserably to dig her car out, we flagged down the tow truck that just pulled my neighbor in, and after discussing the rates (very reasonable), Jacob told my friend and me to hop in his truck to warm up while he prepped the car for towing. (Sidenote: the man is a pro at operating that tow/lift... I can only imagine he completely cleaned out those crane games when he was a kid haha). Once we get to the house, Jacob jumps out and starts helping me shovel a spot for the car! Not only that... he put a piece of wood under her tires so she could get out easier! The man saved the day in so many ways! TLDR: Would definitely recommend Patton's, Jacob went above and beyond what I would ever expect, much less in the middle of a snowstorm. Pro-tip: If no one is hurt, and you're just stuck, skip calling the police and call Patton's directly... I paid less than half of what the neighbor paid with his police fees added. read more

My Honda S2000 broke down coming back from Cleveland today. I live in columbus (I.e. 136 miles away.) My car is modified and sits relatively low to the ground and requires a special kind of tow truck to tow. The company sent Don out and as I had another vehicle already, I was able to leave and Don took care of the rest. Very personable guy, and got to me in a reasonable amount of time (was processed as an Allstate road side assistance claim.) Fast forward 2 hours, Don arrives with with my vehicle in tow and everything is fine. He played and chatted with my kids while unloading my car and was incredibly helpful. Overall as great as a towing experience can be. Would recommend in the future with no reservations. read more

Patton's Towing - Payton's towing came through for me - Towing Near Me - North Olmsted, Ohio

See all

These guys are slimeballs, avoid at all costs. Seriously, I'll call AAA and wait hours before even thinking of using these guys. Their attitude stinks. The drivers aggressive, gruff and rude. Not the kind you want to be left on the side of the road with. Their tow yard is an eye sore, their storage fees outrageous, then they give you more attitude when you go to pick up a car. You could complain, but who would listen? They're juiced in with the locals with an exclusive tow contract with the city. My advice...don't be a victim of auto theft in North Olmsted, because if their keystone kops ever do recover your car, they hand it off to these crooks. Eff me. read more

My car was impounded after a traffic stop; apparently $365 (impound fee 2 days) was not sufficient enough for this company. Add EXTORTION to the list for these guys. When i went to get my car they said oh you have q is it a big baby though I may have please just stop for a charger and take it home my god it's freezing fucking coldno brakes so it MUST be tow only home. My brakes were done 2 days prior to the situation occurring... Not too mention when I pulled over for the cops with no issues. So I asked the them to show me this when i got to the lot, they refused. I asked if i could go and show them that they work, I was denied this as well. FOUR HOURS later the tow truck driver was taking my car off the flatbed warning my husband theres no brakes. He is the one who did the brakes so he knows this could only be the case in the event that they messed with the car. He gets the car and confirms what we already knew. Pattons Towing with EXTORT you and it wont be cheap either. This explains why the only customers they have are the ones that have no choice because the cops impounded their car. BE AWARE! (just a side note because I have worked in customer service my entire life since i was able to have a real job that is. In my 10+ years of experience I have to come see that if you have a negative experience somewhere and you do not inform at least the person/company just a short like hey this is what happen and I am upset, not happy, calling my lawyer... but seriously they cant fix the issue if they are not even aware it happen. Now after you made them aware and nothing happens on their end. You can lead the horse to the lake but you cant make him cross. Thats when you leave a nice review this example of course is 100% real! And I didn't even put them on full blast because i don't have time but curious minds go check out read more

I get it, everyone hates to be towed when they weren't expecting it. But if you absolutely need a tow for a good reason, these guys are professionals. Car broke down on the way to be traded in for new car and called these guys on the recommendation of auto repair shop in RRiver. Matt was great driver, called & texted me when he arrived and was on his way. If you need a tow and want it done well and by professionals, these are the guys to do it. Great job all around. read more

Had to have my car today after blowing out a tire on my MB C43. Roadside assistance sent Patton's Paul showed up before the time the dispatcher told me. He was a rockstar. Good guy. Treated my car with respect and had no doubts it would get to dealer with no issues. During this time, he did a great job and treated both my car and myself with great respects. Hats off and thank you. read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE. The employee that came to tow my vehicle was extremely rude and condescending from the very first minute of interaction. Worst tow company ever. I have NEVER been treated so terribly in all my life. Do NOT use them! We never will ever again read more

DO NOT USE THIS TOW COMPANY read more

Great service. Quick response. Matt Novak was super cool and great making sure my motorcycle was secure.... Pricing was really good also. Thank you much! read more

The other reviewers were correct these guys are complete scam artist. Was a slight accident the cop opted to have my car towed, they called Pattons, I wish they didn't, accident occurred at 1:30am... I couldn't pick up my vehicle until they opened at 10am... And they charged me $289!!!! For a tow LITTERALLY 3 miles!!! Stay away find somebody honest, these guys really are crooks! read more

Our experience was great from Patton's Towing. From the moment I called to the end of the tow, the service was awesome! Dave was the person who jumped and towed our car to the auto mechanic shop. Dave went above and beyond to help us out! He was knowledgeable, friendly and made our whole towing experience a flawless one! Thank you Dave! Jeff and Bonnie G. read more

Crooks! I was in an accident and my wife called my preferred auto shop to dispatch a tow. The city happened to used the same tow company. Our call to them came in first (by at least 10 minutes) and it was our express instruction to take out car to the shop not the yard. The driver told me that my shop didn't perform body work (my auto shop has a contract with these dirt bags; or I should say did) and the adjuster would have to see it first anyway. I was in no condition to think over the details having just been in an accident. My wife goes to our preferred auto shop and has them arrange delivery to the shop the same evening. They (the shop and tower) get into a big argument over storage fees and a second towing fee. The tow company says that they "suggested" taking it to the yard; in my state, I'd say that I was talked out of it. In the end, we got the car to the right place, but I'm sure I'll have to fight some fees. I'll be taking this up with the city where the accident happened also. These guys are scammers. read more

Used them today (Aug 2018) and they were great. The time and cost estimates provided at the initial call were 100% accurate. Office staff and driver were friendly and efficient. I'd use them again without any concerns. read more

We bought a 1947 Studebaker M16 truck and had it delivered today. The transport vehicle could not make it down our driveway and had to leave the truck in a parking lot across the street. Bill arrived quickly and got the truck down to our garage bay and slicked it in with no problem at all. The dispatcher was great and the price was right. Thank you! read more

These guys are so rude I made this yelp account for the sole purpose of giving them a 1 star rating. Id rather push my car home than ever speak to anyone that works here. read more

Couldn't have been happier with the service call. The driver was pleasant, the initial phone call went well, and the delivery of the car to the repair shop was seamless. The driver even helped diagnose the the problem and was spot on with his analysis. Was not cash only in a previous review. Credit card payment on the spot. Emailed a receipt and provided a hard copy. Thank you so much for your help and I will recommend Patton's to anyone within your service area. 6/1/2019 read more

Whoever this "Maddy" is who wrote the review ahead of me is an idiot!She expects someone to spend $100k apiece on a couple trucks that have been modified to pick up every type of vehicle on the road, staff it and maintain it and charge you what.....$10 to tow with it!?!? Obviously if you get towed there's a reason for it, so grow up and park where you're supposed to like the rest of us! Meanwhile, back to Pattons, I work for a business that uses them regularly. They are nice people, hard working, take good care of the cars entrusted to them, and $25 a day has been the going storage rate for over 20 years!!! If you need a tow call them. They are prompt and courteous which is just what yu need when you need a tow! read more

If I could use a negative star or a pile of shit Emoji for these fuck faces I would. The first tow truck they sent broke down so the second tow truck picked up the original driver and these fucktards left me stranded without a ride home or to the dealer. read more

Completely disrespectful, had to get towed by them from a police call. Would never use this companies service outside of what happened to me. Scam artist, unprofessional on the phone and in person. Don't waste your money or time. read more

SCAM! I called on the recommendation of my car dealership to have my car towed. When I called, the woman was extremely nice/professional. I asked for a quote - gave her my car make, model, and reason for the tow (bad alternator), AND MY LOCATION. She quoted my $65. They delivered my car to the dealership just fine, however when I reviewed my debit card activity the following day, they charged me $125.30 for the service. I was NOT that far from the dealership, unless you took the route via China, so the additional mileage shouldn't have been almost double the initial quote. In any event, I should have been at least notified of the rate difference. I'm SO LIVID and will report to BBB. read more

I called Christmas day for my Mother who had been broke down and stranded on the highway. After giving the gentleman I spoke with on the phone her information he informed me that they would take her car to my house for free. He said Merry Christmas and when I arrived home her car was in the driveway. It is great to know that companies and people like this still exist and we'll be sure to pay it forward!!!! read more

I just had a run-in with this "reputable" company. From my tow as a food service industry delivery man... ridiculous. My car sat for less than 8 mins. still "hot". I was told that I was in the wrong for delivering to the address. Lied to about my car's where abouts and otherwise misled under the circumstances of a company that is not honest, nor fair in their business practices. Dishonesty and negativity toward fellow members of the service industry is sad, wrong, and of poor moral fiber. I just walked back 2 miles to my restaurant. No tow company treats deliveries like this. Please for all businesses that deliver in their general company vicinity. consider telling them that their business is not worth your trouble. The dispatcher was aware of impropriety, and the lie that the driver told her. Her voice was noticeably uncomfortable when delivering the "company line." She apologized on multiple occasions. Obscenity and shouting never solves any problem, so I refrained from doing so, but these guys are just plain dishonest. You win, the Catholic School Teacher / Delivery Man paid to get out of impound. "Every day one half of all people wake up with the intention of taking advantage of and using the other half of the people in this world for their advantage." Nothing but sad in regards to how they chose to do business this evening. * I = Used. read more

I agree major rip off. My son was involved in a minor accident and police called for towing. My son asked that his car be towed to Parma location but tow truck driver insisted the car would need to be taken to their impound and the insurance would reimbursed. Well long story short, the accident happened 1/2 mile from Patton's towing and they charged 150 for towing, storage fee and taxes. The next morning I went with my son and had to pay an additional 90 bucks for them to tow to repair shop. When I asked clerk why the car was not towed there in the first place like my son had asked, everyone one in the office looked confused and came up with lame excuse that there were other accidents the driver needed to get to, wow. So yeah, 309.96 later in cash no change like they said, I gave a specific name and address where the car is to be towed. Can you believe they dropped it off at the wrong location! Livid! read more

Improperly towed my vehicle from a lot where I had a parking pass. Lazy and unprofessional.

Do not let these people tow your car. They will cause damage and say too bad, "we don't operate like that." They caused a lot of damage to the front end of my car which unfortuantely went unnoticed for a while because the damage was underneath. I just want people to know to not waste their time or money with these clowns who clearly do not know how to tow a car properly without wrecking it. read more

This business is a scam out to get money. The owner, Jacob, and his drivers are rude and dishonest. Last evening, my car was towed by Patton's Towing from a parking lot next to Eddy's and Iggy's at 17900 Detroit Ave. Lakewood. The entrance to the parking lot is on the far right side of the lot, and there is NO sign present by the entrance that says you can not park in the lot. You enter between 2 brick walls and there is no sign. I immediately turned right into a spot. Again, there was no sign present. It was later pointed out that there is a small sign closer to the left side of the parking lot, however, is is not easily visible when pulling in and parking immediately. Within an hour last night, three cars near me were towed at 100.00 a pop. The driver told me it happens every night of the week with several cars a night. Surely, people like myself would not be pulling in this lot if the lot was properly marked. The driver of the tow truck told me they were going to put signs out front on the brick walls, but when he went to look, he said obviously they had not. The driver also said he understood that is was deceiving because the sign was not when you pulled in and parked. This to me sounds like a scam to make a large amount of money each night to tow away innocent people since the lot is not clearly marked and it is very easy to pull in and park to the right and never see a sign. After talking to some patrons in Eddy's and Iggy's this has been going on for a long time. It sounds like Patton's Towing has found quite a money maker by not clearly advertising cars will be towed for parking in the lot or simply no parking signs. I tried to call the owner and he was extremely rude and would not discuss it. He insisted the one small sign, towards the center of the lot and closer to the left side was sufficient enough. He then refused to discuss it any longer and slammed down the phone. read more

My car wouldn't start in -5 degree weather. I called Patton's, and they said they would be there within an hour. Ninety minutes later, still no truck, so I called and was told that they were called by the police for another job. They didn't bother to call and tell me. They told me they'd be there in 30 minutes. Thirty minutes later, they called back and told me they were still running behind. After sitting in a freezing car with no heat (and in subzero weather) for more than two hours in a parking lot, I'd had enough and told them to forget it. The absolute worst. Still wondering why they never bothered to call me after waiting 90 minutes. Again, the absolute worst. read more

$228 For one single tow 4 miles down the road. You can get AAA membership for only $100 with 4 tows up to 50 miles. So i wouldn't recommend Pattons towing unless you like being overcharged. read more
