they were very nice and patient on the phone, and Jimmy was not mean at all. i met other students at my school who had their car towed too, and they were pretty funny so i lowkey had a good time even though im $280 down. they showed me a photo, and i was parked somewhere i was not supposed to be, so i unstand that they are just doing their job. read more

Car was towed from my apartment complex. They don't give any notice that your car will be towed. I called my complex and the office said they don't call to tow cars they towing company just lets them know it was towed. So they go around looking to tow cars for a quick buck. Complete ass holes read more

We picked up my tesla from Pollard towing yard. The car was completely dead and we could not get it on the auto trailer. The tow driver was going to help me by pushing it onto the trailer. The manager was watching him on camera and told him that he could not help me. In addition he told him to watch and make sure we didn't hit his truck. After almost 2 hours they towed it to a empty parking lot so we could get off their property. This is the Trump world that we live in. If I ever have to get a tow and they show up I will say no thank you. If I could give the company zero stars I would. Please beware of this company. I paid $1300 to get my car and I couldn't even get a jump box because they want me to believe they did have one. Just sorry. read more

Very predatory company. They charge an extreme amount to get your car back and I'm pretty sure they work with the apartment complexes in the area to tow registered cars even if the physical parking pass sticker fell off. It feels very scammy and predatory. I pay all of this money at the rental office for parking permits just for this to happen. The people working there are the scums of the earth for participating in such a predatory project. How can they even sleep at night. Rude and terrible people all around working there. They also mix up nice and new cars with the old a damaged ones which makes me think that they have little regard for intact vehicles and will damage them As several reviews have said before. these companies make their whole livelihood off of towing cars from local college students and charging $320 per car. It's insane! read more

This terrible excuse for a company came onto my moms apt complex during a winter storm, placing tow stickers on a Thursday with threats to tow on a SUNDAY. That winch was avail when I called to let them know my tags are NOT expired and simply waiting for my stickers in the mail with no access to a printer for the temp reg. They still came and took my car. This piss poor company with their piss poor staff. One looks like he chews bricks for breakfast and the winch at the desk is a LIAR. They will learn today that their predatory practice is going to get them all $280 worth of the headache I am bringing. No website for a reason Huh Cooper Pollard? I will be contacting the BBB along with the Department of permits, approvals and inspections per your receipt. For anyone else wanting to know the business license #03319673, Filed with Circuit court of Towson Md, 21285, (410)887-2607 and anyone else I can think of. Thanks to that professional thumb sucker I didnt forget to get the "Back plates" read more

They are sharking around towing 48 hours after a major snow storm where spots are barely available, cars are snowed in, and people are desperate. Roads aren even safe to drive in let alone tow in, and all for them to charge college students $300-$400 for a local 1 mile tow. You'd think with funds coming in like that they could afford to be closed like the rest of the area. Completely immoral business with immoral practices. read more

Owners of this business should be ashamed of the type of workers they hired. Very rude staff. They towed my car even though I had a valid guest tag on the dashboard clearly visible, and their reason was that they could see a resident parking tag for my complex under my infotainment console after peeping inside my car through the side windows (creepy). My resident tag didn't work so I took a guest tag at entry to the garage. If I was to exit that garage, I would have to pay per hour I spent in there. This makes me a guest at that point and I have every right to park on guest level if I am paying by the hour. If I have to enter as a guest and exit as a guest, I definitely should be able to park as a guest. Look at the difference between parking as a guest and parking as a resident. The white car clearly has a guest tag displayed on the dashboard and the other car which was also towed for whatever reason had a resident tag displayed (the green card behind the mirror) read more

I came out to drive to work today and found Pollards had towed my car. When I asked them why my car was towed, they stated there was no permit displayed in my car. When I demanded to check again, they said they had made a mistake. The permit was on my windshield like it always is and my car was towed for no reason. I was then instructed I had to find a ride to come pick it up. Not a high IQ place. Will talk to my lawyer about the legality of just taking someones car and go from there. read more

These guys are terrible since when does a towing company give breaks To 18 wheelers and truckers who Park on private property on the side of the road Blocking the view of oncoming traffic, but will tell a tenant's car for having expired tags not knowing whether the tenant has been ill or at the hospital or whatever the reason is why they haven't gotten their tags changed but a big truck can be parked on the side of the road in an apartment complex on private property blocking The View and these are the guys that get a little green sticker letting them know they have an x amount of days to move the truck or it will be towed explain that to me these guys are taking bribes from companies and allow them to park their trucks on private property there is no other explanation. read more

My apartment doesn't verify cars so anyone can come and park in our spots. so when I get home very late at night, I'm left to park next to the dumpster (technically not supposed to but everyone does it). Here comes Pollard's leaving a giant STICKER on my windshield so I can't see and can't get it off. I appreciate the warning, but why in the f*ck did you put a sticker on my car and vandalize it?!??? you could've left a notice under my wipers. idiots. do that shit again.. read more

Sticker fell off the mirror on my roommate's car. Called them and they were polite over the phone. Found the sticker on the dash in the car. Went in to talk to them, the "lady" working the desk cut me off in the middle of saying what we were there for. Was extremely rude for no reason. I can only imagine it's so she could feel better about working for a parasite company like this one. $280 later and they still acted like jerks for no reason. I did lose my temper and threaten to sue but that was only because of their extremely aggressive and nasty behavior. I will pray for them because damn, you have to know you're scummy to act like that. Hope y'all read these out to your church groups. WWJD? He'd send y'all to the hot place. read more

Got towed for parking in a lot that was previously a lot for the venue I went to. But now the venue does not own that lot. More clear signage would have helped such as no parking for patrons of that venue anymore. It costed $300 to get my car out of the lot. At least they were still open at the hour I went. Some people who went to the same event I did and parked in the same lot did not get towed. So they basically pick and choose who they want to tow. read more

Towed a completely park vehicle because they can't read and take time to verity basic information.

0 stars !! Terrible customer service ! I purchased a parking pass through my leasing office & it's broken so I have to put it on my dash , last night I forgot to put it up there & my car got towed which I take accountability for. Although, the way this place went about the situation was HORRIBLE ! Over the phone the lady seemed nice and told me that I can come in and show them the pass so that's what I did. When I walked in I told her why I was there and which car was mine. One of the guys was in the chair leaned back with his feet up smoking a vape and watching something on his phone. The lady asked me what I'd like to do being as though over the phone she told me that I could show them my pass so I said "I can show y'all the pass" the guy hopped up hostile and said "come on then let's go" and then proceeded to follow me to my car . When I found the pass he told me "it has to be displayed even though it's broken" and then walked away. When he walked away I assumed everything was okay so I was getting ready to drive off because they were moving the tow trucks from in front of the gate. Another guy seen me driving and watched me and then came to my car window and aggressively said "GO PAY" I said "excuse me" he said "GO PAY" and then walked away. When he walked away he very aggressively backed a tow truck up to the front of my car and then he parked it in front of my car to block me in . I ended up not having my wallet and they don't accept Apple Pay. My friend offered to give his card numbers manually but because he was on the phone the rude lady at the front desk rolled her eyes , huffed and puffed and said "we don't accept virtual payments" . Everytime I came up with a solution she gave me a reason why I couldn't do it so I was stuck. Eventually I got a card to pay the $300 !!!! $300 for a car that wasn't even there for 24hrs not even 12hrs which is a half of day !!!! The signs with the prices all say $280 so when I asked the rude lady with the synthetic wig sliding off her head why it was $300 she huffed and puffed and said "Baltimore City standard rate" . I just paid and left hoping and praying that I'll NEVER have to deal with those rude , nasty , disrespectful , distasteful , ignorant , trashy, trifling THINGS EVER AGAIN !!!! read more

Very predoratory towing company. Not only do they damage the cars they've towed but they also purposely prey on college students in the area. They pick and choose what cars they want to tow as you can expect to find cars parked in the same areas untouched. They get off on taking hundreds of dollars from people ontop of charging fifty dollars per calendar day - meaning less than 24 hours after your car is towed, youre still issued a fee. Im convinced the people who work this job have some sort of weird power dynamic yet they're still most likely getting paid the bare minimum to try and make quota for the day quite sad when you think about it actually especially when they're known to fake positive reviews. Its completely unethical and absolutely shameful that companies like this are preying on people during a government shutdown - when people can barely afford to put food on their table. Very dishonorable and they wonder why they will never be satisfied in their lives and families with years to come read more

lame corny company just preying on broke college kids cars lmaooo. they claimed they took my car MINUTES to 12 am, so they charged me for 2 days?? hopefully the founder is rotting in hell. those rude snarky staff can go with them read more

Around $300+ to get your car back if towed! Ridiculous! They give no notice you just see your car is gone and you have to pay this ridiculous fine to get it back! Staff is not friendly and only care about getting the money! If I could this place 0 stars I would!!! read more

These guys just illegally tow cars. Not only do they roam around the Aspen Heights parking lot looking for cars to tow (they weren't called by building management, they just show up and look for cars to tow), but they'll take your car and not send out any notice about the car being towed. I only found out my car was towed when I went to leave and my car wasn't there, and asked the Aspen Heights management what happened. On the phone, someone told me that it was $250 for towing, $30 a day for storage. But when I get there, the receipt says $280 for the tow, $50 a day for storage, then a random $80 fee. My car had scratches all over BOTH BUMPERS, and my door. They had no photos or footage of my car being towed to prove it was parked illegally, and the person at the front desk got nervous when I asked them to see the footage or pictures of my car be towed. I asked to see the pictures because they'd further prove that my car wasn't damaged before they took it. IF YOUR CAR IS TOWED AND YOU HAVE THE TIME, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE talk to an attorney and sue them, because their business is run incompetently. And they'll most likely give your car back for free if you show them papers from your attorney of your plan to sue, or you can go through with it and get your car + money for the troubles. Don't even ask these guys to tow your car if you're stuck on the side of the road. Call your insurance (best option) or call the police and they'll tow your car for you. Pollard's will damage your car. I also saw that there were a couple positive reviews on Yelp, so I clicked the profile picture of one of the one written by "Jed", and THE PROFILE PICTURE IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES TOWING A CAR. They write their own fake positive reviews to boost their rating. This company is shameless and GARBAGE. read more

they offer terrible service, no notice, and the price is absolutely insane. the management can't even take two seconds to verify a car has a parking tag before towing lmao, they should be ashamed of themselves read more

I got my car towed at 8pm on a Friday night in my apartment complex. It was a new rental car and I did forget to place my parking permit on it. However, what really annoyed me with the service, the guy told me if I came in right before midnight on Friday night I could've gotten the storage fee of $50 taken off. What I don't understand is this place isn't open past 7pm on Fridays, so how is any of that physically possible? If my car got towed at 8pm, and they are closed at 7pm how am I supposed to pay before midnight? What they do is tow cars after they close so that they force these poor working people into paying an additional $50 to the already $280 ticket. I came in the next day after my work shift. Ridiculous. Complete scammers. I understand this is a business but the lack of any type of compassion is really telling. read more

this company is literally just out for money they towed my car from my home name is on the lease and there only reply was $280 and $50 per day their verification process is complete bs they have no true morality when it comes down to how they make their money if you park in their area expected unfair treatment read more

Service was horrible. Front desk(Nash) is rude, demeaning and condescending but I guess I would wanna kill myself too if I was this obese, ugly, couldn't grow a beard and I was a receptionist at a towing truck company(Nash). My car got towed from a pay per hour parking garage because I was parked overnight (the gate let me in, and you would think it wouldn't if you're not allowed to be there after hours). My undercarriage cover got ripped off by Pollards towing. Called countless times to get my damage compensated they told me I needed to drive hours back to Towson to see it in person, so I did, they told me no manager was in that day and to come back the next day. When I came back the manager(Perry) tried for so long to convince me that the damage wasn't bad and repairing it would be a waste of time and its not a big deal. I stood my ground and basically demanded they fix it or compensate my repairs. The manager(Perry) finally understood that I was stubborn and wasn't going to be walked over so he did fix and I was happy that they could fix it but got no compensation for my time/efforts/or the damage. The manager at least was somewhat helpful and understanding, although never showed me the before pictures he claimed to have. Bottom line is that I know nothing about cars, and the manager knows I know nothing about cars. But I do know that I know nothing about cars and to trust pollards word, so even if they were being truthful that it wasn't important, damage/undercarriage being ripped off, I will be demanding it gets fixed. They defiantly were expecting me (a solo teenage girl) to be a pushover but honestly I refuse and if you are unfortunate enough to end up at Pollards don't be afraid to make a scene to get the bare minimum of what you deserve. read more

Even though I am not a fan of having my vehicle impounded, I am pleased to say that management exceeded my expectations when I was faced with the dilemma of having to get my son's vehicle out of impound after nearly a month of storage fees. Long story short, my husband passed away and I have endured SIGNIFICANT debt trying to take care of my disabled son as well as his brothers. It took my disabled son several years to get his license so I eventually put his gift truck in storage because I could not afford the repairs. After several years in storage, I nearly gave up on trying to save money for repairs. The owner of the initial storage unit charged me well over an accumulative $7k in monthly storage fees. When I requested to get the vehicle out of storage, the owner had it towed to Pollards which devalued me. After several weeks being in the impound, the owner and company manager took time to help me with the towing and storage fees which meant a lot to me because I am still trying to get my sons vehicle repaired and did not have the full amount due for three plus weeks impound fees. I also feel better about this experience because many years ago, Pollards towed me when I was in my late twenties trying to survive college. I had sooo much hurt built up in my heart and had no idea how much humanity the owner genuinely has. It was definitely scary but I am relieved to know that they were willing to help. read more

My wife's car was towed while visiting my daughter at college because she didn't realize the guest pass she displayed was a weekend pass that did not cover weekdays. The egregious part is that the charge was $280 to tow the car about a mile. I called the company and asked what they would charge to tow a car about a mile. He said about $100. Then I asked why my wife was charged $280. He said that was because it was towed for being illegally parked, and that's the rate established by Baltimore County. What he didn't say is that that is the MAXIMUM rate they can charge. I said I was going to leave a negative review and he took offense on the basis that they provided "courteous" service. There is nothing courteous about charging $280, nearly 3 times what a reasonable cost would be. This is a rip off racket and companies that engage in it and charge the maximum allowable rate are unethical. If you want to read more about these egregious circumstances, there was an article written by the Baltimore Brew titled: "With towing reform shot down by the City Council, high fees and aggressive practices will continue in Baltimore". This was about Baltimore City but the same thing exists in Baltimore County. If you should ever need towing service for a broken down car, I strongly encourage you to find another towing company. read more

I understand this place has a business to run, but as a college student WITH a parking pass that I pay hundreds of dollars for at my dorm, my car got towed. They give no notice that your car got towed, you basically just walk out and realize your car is gone like I did. Again, I do have a parking pass but I was still charged $380 to get my car back even after having a conversation with multiple people who work here. I understand it is partially my fault because my parking pass was left on my dash instead of hanging on my rear view mirror, but the price to get my car back is outrageous especially since I do have the pass. Be very careful in the Towson area when parking. read more

The guy at the front desk named Nash said very offensive things. He kept going on about how a lot of people in Baltimore County were "ghetto" or only capable of speaking "hood talk" and kept telling me that college kids were stupid after I told him I was in college. He also kept trying to tell me my friends set me up on purpose and it was my fault for getting my car towed because I choose to "hang out with stupid college kids" the fees were insane too but that's set by the county. read more

BEWARE OF THIS PLACE. A few months back I parked in future residents space because I was supposed to move in to this complex, and ran inside to drop something off. I am moving from another state, so I do not have any family or anything in Maryland. I was inside for not even 5 minutes, I come outside to my car towed. I had to walk alone to this place, the fat worker was so ridiculously rude, no compassion. I explained how I parked there for a reason, I wouldnt have a parking pass since I don't live there yet and still had to pay $270 to get my car back. Completely turned off by this, I decided not to move into the complex. read more

Read all of the "not recommended" reviews for the real story. They towed my car from a parking lot in February of 2016, a parking lot without signs. Then they claimed they towed it two months earlier and I owed them $3000 dollars. They said they had video proof of it and did show me a video with a date of December on it...which can easily be changed. I asked to see my car in their parking lot during the blizzard of January 2016 and the employees told me they didn't have to show me that and couldn't at the time (but they can show me something that says December on it? Convenient.) I had several pics of my car including a selfie of myself in it from after the date they claimed to have towed it but they said "it could be any similar car" even though my specific model is rare and was a very rare color. They tried to show me undelivered mail that needed a signature from December but it was mailed to an address I no longer lived at and I had already changed my address with the MVA so that seems very convenient as well. Crooks. Liars. Thieves. read more

0 stars Absolutely horrible, they have no type of service, they're rude, they try to rob from already struggling college students. If it were possible to give 0 stars I would. My experience with Pollard's was the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life. VERY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. waste of my time and money. I would rather be towed by the government than to be towed by them. I hate Pollard's. Everybody should too. I downloaded yelp especially for this reason read more

Pollard's Towing is completely unethical. Don't be fooled by the two positive reviews Yelp is showing you, look under the dozens of reviews that Yelp has blocked. The owner of Pollard's is rude and condescending. He and his team drive around towing cars without just-cause, no signs posted, no explanation to why they took the car. They just grab it and go, leaving the owner forced to pay an astronomical fee to get it back. Pollard's also doesn't have a set fee. Prices range up to whatever the owner wants to charge you. Avoid this company at all cost and refuse to do business with companies that contract with their unethical practices. read more

Part of a "poor tax" scheme that is incredibly bothersome and completely unethical. Falsely flagged for having a license plate light go out, I was given no option to replace the bulb, but these guys quickly charged $250 for an incredibly short tow. Of course, MD doesn't give you your tags back, even if you correct the issue (replacing a 79 cent bulb) immediately, so they charge $35 a day while I am awaiting my tags in the mail. All told, they are "helping" alleviate over a grand for having a bulb burn out- and wouldn't even give a courtesy lift, leaving my wife and kids on the side of the road awaiting a ride.

This is the worst freaking towing company I've ever dealt with. The employee was INSANE!!! I called six times to try to reach them, but they didn't pick up. When I finally got someone on the line, I asked why they didn't pick up and they told me that they didn't hear the phone ring. Like, what??? I told him I was coming. I was literally 5 minutes away. When I got down there to pick up my car, this idiot was no where to be found. I stood around waiting until this clown finally pulled up his car. I was able to pay and get my car back but I will never understand why this he would leave the premises when I told him that I was coming and was just five minutes away. read more

They're completely unethical & they towed my car in a public parking lot saying it wasn't public hours & when I went to pick my car up they told me I couldn't leave with it after talking with them on the phone & them agreeing that I could get it that day. Now there telling me I won't be able to get my car because my paper tags I would need to get hard tags before I could get my vehicle because the tags were expired & it was already Friday they could of been told me this before I came up there & wasted my time now there closed on the weekend & charging me for those extra two days. I feel like I was being racially profiled with how they were acting towards me they even told me I couldn't get my things out my car until then like my school computer & notes even clothes I had reciepts for. Bad business & they will try to get every dollar that's not theirs. read more

I was given Pollard's number after unsuccessfully trying to get help for a stranded motorist that had a dead battery and no cell phone. I called the park service for the national park we were in, then was bounced around to 3 different police stations who all kept telling me they couldn't help for various reasons. I was finally given Cory's number and all he said was I'll be right there! He was literally the only person even willing to help. I continued on my way thinking all was well. I get a call shorty after from Mr Pollard saying that the woman I had called him for said I was going to be taking care of the bill and hauled ass out of there. He was so incredibly nice about the whole thing despite being called out in the pouring rain and then getting stiffed for the bill. The world has very few genuinely kind people in it, but I believe Mr Cory Pollard is one of them. And yes, I did offer to pay her bill as I felt horrible that she ran off like that, but he refused. Iv never used your service Mr Pollard, but 5 stars for being a kind and decent human. read more

They are nice and respectful if you are nice and respectful and they did a great job with my car. Looking at the negative reviews here, I've been up around Towson and I have seen the places they tow from, all of the places have good signs if people just look. These people are just mad they got caught and had to pay for parking where they shouldn't have. read more

Can i give someone no stars? They are so rude and condescending. Said i was stupid and didn't know what I was talking about cause of how they towed my car which had damage on it. They towed me from a lot that had no visible signs And than demanded the money. The white man there said he enjoyed making people miserable? How can you be such a terrible person. And than proceed to treat a women disrespectfully and call her stupid. They are going to be getting reported. Do not deal with such a sexist and rude company read more

0 stars . Pollards towing is a malicious company that steals from already poor college students with their insane fees, vague policies , and cant do anything about it attitude. They sit near by and watch waiting for u to get out of your car . Our car was towed in less then 5 minutes during WINTER BREAK from the apartments across from towson towers with a PARKING PERMIT clearly in the window . the vehicle was towed at 10:45 pm no one at pollard would answer any of the phone lines untill 1 am in which they chared us an additional 30$ because it was now considered a new day . 300$ fee total . For a one mile tow . Awful company , i cross my fingers someones going to retaliate and put them in their place . read more

They towed my husband's all-wheel drive car from the back two wheels and let the front two wheels drag & ruined his transmission.
