I am convinced they will tow anyone and everyone when it comes to making a quick buck. I had more than enough room to park where I was and have parked in the same exact spot MULTIPLE times beforehand while being VERY aware of if I was blocking anything. I'm not unaware like that. I will be fighting the tow but think that everyone in town should know this about them. It might just be a tow company thing.

I decided to do my own checking around with Chico companies and Ernie was available to come right over and assist. After talking about the issue, since I wasn't totally sure what the problem was, he figured it was the battery. He brought his power jumper and got my car started. He followed me to the VW shop to drop my car and then since they were closing and the shuttle wasn't there, he even drove me home. He went above and beyond and offered great savings as well. Top notch customer service from beginning to end. Highly recommend Ernie's Towing.

Service like this is why I keep AAA Insurance. Truly after a stressful event of a car breakdown, having a tow truck driver make the process quick and easy, makes all the difference in the world. I know something went down back in 2020 with someone's groceries, but it appears that whoever was in charge then, isn't in charge now. I would absolutely trust their Towing department with any vehicle of mine.

It was found and is now being returned intact. At this point I have no reason to believe driver Greg had anything to do with this and I retract my statements regarding this in my previous review. I apologize for believing he was involved. While his mgr Dan certainly could have been more helpful in listening to my complaint, and how rudely I was treated on the phone. I'm happy with the resolution, and will call the AAA representative to inform them of the outcome. The actual towing service driver Greg provided was excellent. He knew what he was doing and did it quickly. Again, I apologize to driver Dan for believing he was involved.

What an amazing experience!…read more Granted, towing reviews usually don't start like that, but I must. I scheduled All-Star through my insurance company. They arrived 45 minutes before their estimated arrival time. He was exceptionally careful and thorough. The funniest thing there is that you can't simply put my car in neutral and climb out. It's a safety feature. So, we had to spend about 10 minutes figuring it out. In the end, it was probably the best towing experience I've had. That made up for the fact that I was bummed about having to tow it in the first place.

I had never gotten into an accident before, and they took full advantage of that. I went through insurance, insurance didn't want to cover everything, and knockout refused to budge.

A driver from Bambauer Towing, dispatched through AAA, showed up with absolutely no communication…read morefrom AAA about arrival time. Because we were stranded with our children, we had already called another towing company who arrived promptly and was polite, professional, and actively helping us. When the Bambauer driver arrived, he was rude from the very beginning. He interrupted a conversation we were already having with the two gentlemen helping us and immediately demanded an ID without even introducing himself. When we explained that the AAA membership holder could be there shortly, he repeatedly said he "couldn't do anything" and kept insisting we would be charged anyway. We clearly told him we were not using his services and asked him to step away. Instead of respecting that, he continued to stand in our personal space, arguing and telling us we would be charged, even after we asked him to leave us alone. His behavior felt aggressive and harassing--especially unacceptable considering our children were present. He's honestly lucky my husband didn't call the police over how he was acting. To make matters worse, when we called the office to report his behavior, the woman who answered was equally rude and dismissive, claimed the driver was "in the right," refused to help resolve the situation in any way, and then hung up on my husband. This company lacks professionalism, basic customer service, and accountability. If you value being treated with respect--especially in a stressful roadside situation--I would strongly recommend choosing a different towing company.

The larger man who showed up from Bambauer Towing was rude and aggressive from the moment he arrived. No introduction, no professionalism--just immediate demands, talking over us, and hovering in our personal space. We told him multiple times we were not using his service and asked him to step away, and he refused, continuing to harass us and threaten charges anyway. This was especially unacceptable since our children were present and we were already dealing with a stressful roadside situation. Instead of helping, he made everything worse. Customer service backed him up and was just as rude and dismissive when we called to report what happened. Absolutely avoid this company unless you enjoy being treated poorly when you're already vulnerable.
