We are sorry to see that Schroeder's Towing is getting such mixed reviews because from our personal experience a few days ago, on a scale from 1 to 10, we would give them an 11!! Matt was the one who towed us (dually GMC truck & 32' RV) from I-26 to a truck stop where we spent the night until the garage opened the next day to get the truck fixed. Matt took care of everything for us at the truck stop in regards to the parking arrangements. The truck stop was full and we got a "reserved" spot. He did a terrific job backing the RV and our truck into the parking spot with his tow truck! When the day shift manager at the truck stop had a question the next day as to why we were in a reserved spot and we contacted Matt to find out what had transpired the night before, he was eager to help. He even called us back the next evening to make sure everything had worked out well for us. Matt is definitely an employee who represents Schroeder's Towing in an exemplary manner. The people at the Schroeder's Towing who answered the phone were courteous and ready to assist. read more

DO NOT GET YOUR CAR TOWED BY ANYONE ELSE. seriously, everywhere i called around here was rude or short with me and clearly were not interested in helping. today i needed a tow and after calling about 8 different companies we found Schroeder's. The lady on the phone was so nice and helpful and made sure the driver coming called when he arrived. The tow driver himself was extremely friendly and helpful. And the price for the service was very good. Definitely use Schroeder's if you need a tow! read more

Phone dispatcher was not friendly or very helpful. They towed my truck to their Percival Road location. No one worked there to allow me to retrieve the vehicle. Terrible business model. read more

Scum of the earth. A company that capitalizes off of college students who can't afford their exorbitant rates. Unpleasant people at the front desk and unpleasant people behind the wheel of their trucks. Bottom feeders of society! While it's true that property management is a separate problem, you would at least think that some form of paper warning would be given as a courtesy, right? Nope. Not with Schroeder's Towing. They come in the dead of the night or early morning to take away your car, and they leave you guessing. As for speaking with the property manager, I did, and their response was that the towing company chooses to come at the aforementioned early hours. So, in addition to the absence of any courtesy, which I concede is not legally required of them, but would be nice as a courtesy of a seemingly reputable institution, they engage in predatory "student sting" operations in the dead of the night where they tow cars in garages populated almost entirely by student residents and their guests around the University of South Carolina. I'm not calling any of this out as legally wrong, but rather I am saying that this whole model you all have going on is unethical and scummy at best. Many other towing companies do issue warnings or citations, if the owner isn't aware, so it wouldn't be a crazy idea logistically or from a business perspective, but I guess they wouldn't be making the money they do if they didn't have this type of predatory business model, so, oh well! What can ya do? As a side note: I was a guest at a student apartment building's parking garage, and I was parked from about 11pm at night to whenever they took my car and I went to look for it at about 8am the next morning. read more

I never sought to call a tow company to unlock my car. They are by far the best! Do not, and I repeat, do not go on Yelp and use the help me with a project because I ended up with two Middle Eastern. Men stocking me down in the parking lot, claiming that I asked them to come unlock my car for them when I did not! Use someone that's reputable like Schroeder's read more

Brian services was great he didn't take long to arrive and when he did the friendly interaction with him could not be faked. Brian also took it apon himself to give me tips and advice for the towing/trucking business. Brian needs everything you can get him in benefits. Only thing is i shouldn't have paid 101 for a 9 minute trip but i understand the business. read more

I was headed to a nice birthday lunch with my friends when my car unexpectedly broke down. I had no idea what to do but I recognized Schroeder's as a local towing company so I gave them a call. Michael talked me down and came within 45 mins of me placing the call. He eased my nerves, took my car to the local dealership and even offered to take me back to my apartment. They made a stressful experience much more manageable and I would definitely use them again read more

My car had broken down and I gave Schroeder a call the car was here in minutes and they are really good

Today I broke down in my SUV right in the middle of Assembly Street and Taylor Street in downtown Columbia SC. The car electrical system just died - no clue why. I am almost 70 years old and was by myself. I called AAA and they said they could get to me in THREE HOURS. I told them I couldn't sit in the middle of the road impeding traffic. After half hour a city cop came by and put his flashers on behind me. In the meantime my husband was contacting two other companies but all of their trucks were out on calls. So policeman suggested I call Schroeder. They said five minutes. They came in six minutes! Scott was very nice. Treated my car carefully. Took me to repair place. Their towing service is wonderful. Very fair price. Highly recommend them when you have an emergency!!! read more

Michael is awesome!! My husband is disabled and fighting cancer let me tell you from the time I called Schroeder's to the time Michael got there it was less than an hour my husband was getting cold and not doing well so I am so grateful they are organized, friendly, and very compassionate. I had my husband home and our car towed and I did not cry or pull my hair out. Michael and Schroeder's I can not say thank you enough!! read more

Yesterday at around 6PM on Senate St. at the $5 parking lot I saw one of Schroeder's tow truck drivers dragging a red jeep along the pavement. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that driver was destroying the wheels and axels and other moving parts that make that car able to drive. He was backing it up, going forward, back and forth. You might want to teach your drivers how to safely tow a car without destroying it. read more
