The name delivers! My husband and I are were stuck with an old car and an exploded tire Sunday evening, rainy, cold dark and off of 405. We were quoted 45 minute wait, it was only 15! Thank you so much!!!! Ross and Emily read more

Had them tow a vehicle from Portland to Tacoma to ship on the boat they were on time and reasonably priced.

What a great experience. Our tow truck driver Darren was very kind and friendly. This helped me deal with my car breaking down. He was extremely efficient and got my car to the dealership very fast. read more

Brandon the Driver of the Speeds towing truck was very professional and yet friendly and efficient. I called AAA and they assigned my case to Speeds Towing on East 18th St. Vancouver. Great job Brandon! read more

Very kind and professional service during a stressful time - Thank you! Highly recommend! read more

Tyler responded to my tow request promptly. He called ahead to let me know when he's arriving and arrived at the specified time. He was courteous and patient with loading my vehicle. I would definitely recommend him for your towing needs. 5 stars service!!! read more

This was a planned pickup for a classic car to be pulled out of my garage. John attached her to the truck and pulled her out of the garage and up my steep driveway. At this point John kindly put her on dollies (i did not have to ask). I love Speed's. John was excellent; a nice guy who knew what he was doing. read more

I'm very impressed with these guys. I've used them twice, once for a jumpstart and once for a motorcycle tow. The motorcycle tow can use either a flatbed or a dolly truck, and they use padded straps so that no marks are left on the bike. Both the drivers and the dispatch are very professional. I used to use a motorcycle exclusive towing company, but these guys have earned my business and are now my preferred vendor. Very appreciative, the guy came out with a jump box to kick start my motorcycle. They're prompt and professional, anprice was much better than AAA. read more

My '53 Ford Truck needed to be rescued from an unscrupulous builder doing a frame-off restoration. Logan, the driver, was early to the appointment, and did an exceptional job of retrieving my truck as the unscrupulous builder was belligerent and unwilling to help in any way. Logan's skill and expertise resulted in a successful flatbed transport with no damage to my '53 and no need to reschedule the pickup. Great job!! read more

Only the best in the area my first call whenever I need it and they are exceptional at what they do truly the definition of perfection

I was impressed with the professional and courteous service from the dispatcher and especially the driver, Cole. Needing a tow after vandalism is never enjoyable, especially on vacation and far from home. But Cole was so kind and understanding that the whole experience was so much less stressful than would be expected. He arrived promptly and called when he was close. read more

I was in an accident. They were helpful and came as quickly as they could. The driver was incredibly professional and helpful. I didn't end up using the service, an error on my part, but he was courtesies and kind the entire time. Really impressed with this company and can't recommend it enough. read more

They are the worst towing company i have delt with. I wouldnt let them tow my little red wagon. There priservice ices areso high. There customer sevice sucked they were very rude. Please pass this along. read more

Speed's towing, haha so speedy that they show up hours before scheduled and get mad really quickly when you want the situation remedied. I called Speedy two weeks ago and spoke to a nice girl on the phone, I asked her questions about the process and the price and all. I was told if I called 24 hours ahead of time it was cheaper. Fast forward to two days ago, I called almost 48 hours in advance (to, I think, the same nice girl) to help them out by calling much more than 24 hours in advance, not to mention I was very flexible with time. I needed to have the car towed to a mechanic that wasn't open until 10am, but beyond that as long as they give me a heads-up, they could really do anytime after 10am but before 6pm. I purposely tried to be flexible for them. (Yesterday on a somewhat related note, we had another company come to the house to do some work. They showed up an hour early (around 7am) waking my girlfriend, who closes at the place where she works. Today, at the same exact time, while my girlfriend was asleep, Speedy showed up four hours earlier than planned. I was "greeted" by Jerry (I think that was his name), who was in no way apologetic, nor capable of apology and was very defensive when I informed him of the mistake. Although I was mad, I immediately told him that I wasn't mad at him but at his company, which didn't seem to change his equally upset demeanor (people don't work for tow truck companies because they love and are good with people.) I wasn't planning to mention the rotund smoothly bald Jerry with the sun-burned top, but him constant calling "Bud" and not really caring to fix anything left me no choice. All I wanted from him was that he could either call them in the moment and settle the issue or have them call me with a more specific time than his original option of "anytime in the next 24 hours," which obviously doesn't work as the mechanic closes at 6pm. He soon gave me a more slightly specific time of "probably 11-2," which didn't really suffice for me giving the fact that he was continuing to encourage me to shop elsewhere. Although he obviously wasn't sorry, and didn't apologize, I was okay with that, what I wasn't okay with was that there wasn't a single second where he seemed to care enough to help me and to want make things right. He has worked there 19 years and they don't care what he thinks, he told me, and I believe him, I've been in his shoes. But I wasn't filing a complaint, I just wanted a simple confirmation of a new time and a guarantee that this time they wouldn't screw up, which is apparently too much to ask. I then call and talk to Nichole (spelling?) and I'm pretty sure this was the same "nice lady" I had spoken to the previous two times. I told her the situation and she too was Speedy in her anger, defensive and unapologetic, unwilling to help and Speedy to hang up on me when I asked to speak to someone more competent. She had told me that a manager would have to review the recording of the initial phone call. (I've been in many a situation like this before, they never ever ever review tapes and phone calls etc, and generally they don't even know how to, it's only used in a court of law type situation...) Is there a single person who can Speedily set up a tow and not be Speedy in getting upset? Of course not, that's their motto! But wait, I then called back and talked to Kim, who seems to be a failure as a Speedy employee, because she wasn't Speedy to anger. She did set up a new time, but the company has no policy for giving discounts when they screw up/wake you from your sleep/waste your time. read more

Had a great experience with these guys. Scott was a 200% for me. Devon (sorry if I misspelled it) on the phone got my setup the day before and the entire process went super smooth. He was super careful to get my lowered car off the flatbed. Next time I need a tow, he's the one I'm asking for. read more

I needed my 1976 Chevy towed to a shop and called Speed's Towing. Kim was my dispatcher and she was awesome. Informative, patient, and nice. I paid for the 24 hour service because I have another vehicle and was in no rush. They showed up about 2 hours later. Austin gave me a call about 20 min out. He was professional, friendly, and easy going. Everything about this process was great and I highly recommend them if you need a tow. Great company! read more

Speed's Towing - Truck being hooked up - Towing Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Quick response, friendly, helpful, suggested a faster and cheaper alternative to a tow.

They did the job well, but I had a hard time getting my van back. They were insisting I deliver the release in person, and I was too ill from the heat to do so. And if I didn't do as they wish they threatened me with collection activity and leins. I finally paid Lyft $60 to drive the documents over and drop them off. read more

Getting a vehicle towed is never a pleasant experience, but I was very impressed with speeds towing. My vehicle had been stolen and found in the Portland. Metro area. I was worried the thief may be nearby or return to the scene so I was motivated to get my vehicle home safely ASAP. Speeds was understanding and they sent out the fastest tow responder I've ever experienced. Logan was very helpful, friendly, and helped calm my nerves as this was a very stressful situation. I highly recommend Speed' Towing. read more

Called just after 5 pm when my car blew a belt, and rolled onto a parking lot. They told me up to 3 hours and I waited. Just after 2 hours, they call and tell me they wouldn't be out til the morning. I'm stranded in some parking lot and had to call another company that was three hours out. I tried calling them back and they disconnected my call 4 times. So, I think you are better off calling someone else. read more

Ran out of gas on the i 5 onramp and Chris showed up within a half hour of me calling. He was quick, reassuring, safe and professional while I was in a state of near panic, and used his personal phone to help me out. Couldn't have asked for better service. read more

The owner is a complete douche nozzle. I was in Portland on vacation in a rental car that broke down and this this guy climbed out of Speed's Towing truck tried hustling me for a tow. I had call the police to make him go away and upon the police being called he swore at me and scurried back to his truck. read more

Experienced a blowout Friday on Sauvie Island, without a spare. Called Speedy, and they had a truck there in roughly an hour. Loaded my vehicle without issue, and dropped me at Les Schwab in St Johns. Solid experience. Only issue was removing the hook from front axle. Driver had to use hammer and crowbar to deal with a stuck hook, which was disconcerting. Luckily no damage done. read more

Heather a dispatch lady was very rude & disrespectful over the phone had no consideration for my situation there tow driver did not do what was told & Customer service 0 out of 10 ! Will go out of my way to contact manger read more

I called the day before I needed my car transported to the dealership from my mechanic's shop and they set me up very easily. Everything was given to me up front and I was given a time. They arrived nearly on time and gave me a heads-up first. Very happy with their service. read more

I've used Speed's four separate times for towing a Tuffshed that many other businesses did not have the capability or expertise to move without damage or great expense. As a former tow yard accountant, I've been around drivers and the business before and Speed's is nothing short of the local best! Professional and polite dispatch, communicative and timely drivers, and fair prices as well! I will continue to use them and would recommend them to anybody looking for a quick, quality tow- especially for sheds! read more

Did a pretty good job. Just make sure you contact them for a timeframe and don't listen to your insurance company.

Great service from Cole, who got to my car sooner than expected. Prompt, professional and a nice guy to boot. Highly recommend.

good luck trying to get a hold of them if your vehicle was illegally towed. they never answer. rude drivers also.

I am disabled and was driving to physical therapy when I slid into a curb and banged my rim up. The guys came and put the spare on and we thought we were good to go. They took off and I went cautiously on my way, but my car wasn't driving right at all. I immediately called the tow truck driver and luckily he wasn't far away. They came back for me and were able to tow me home. After all of that stress, I wasn't up to pulling the car into the driveway, so one of the gentlemen did it for me. I really appreciated that. Also, they helped out a fire wife while her husband was on duty on 9/11. He really appreciated that they were able to help me and come back when I realized it wasn't drivable. The Fire Spouse Curse: Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong, but only when they are on duty. ‍ read more

Update: Within 10 minutes of posting this review, it was commented on by Michael from Speed's. How funny -- after calling and leaving a message on Wednesday morning, calling back again and leaving a message on Thursday morning, and then calling again today on Tuesday afternoon and leaving yet another message, I have still not received a phone call back about this. But 10 min after a 1 star Yelp review?! Hmmmmmmm.... ------- STAY FAR, FAR AWAY! I purchased a $4,000+ car from Speed's and paid an additional amount to deliver the car to a meeting spot where I would pick up the car, the keys, and sign for the delivery. Instead, the driver dropped off the car in an unsecured location and left the keys in the car. I was not notified that the car was even delivered -- thank goodness we figured out that it was delivered and we were able to retrieve it before it was stolen. Over the past week, I have contacted Speed's three times to complain about this and request a refund of the delivery fee. Despite the office staff taking down my information three times now, I have not yet been able to get a hold of anyone that can do anything about a refund, etc. I am incredibly frustrated that Speed's does not seem to care that this car could have been stolen. My advice: go somewhere else. What a freakin' mess. read more

Michaela and Austin were literal saints for me. Michaela was so sweet over the phone and Austin came and got me completely fixed within 30/45 minutes in total, at 2-3AM. I'm SO thankful to them! I don't know what I would've done otherwise. I called so many towing companies before I called this one and nobody answered, most didn't even have a voicemail. Speeds towing answered however, and almost immediately. I was shocked I actually got someone. I was a young girl trapped in the middle of downtown Portland in the middle of the night. I had tried changing my tire myself because I had a flat (which I've done countless times on my car and other cars) but I didn't realize I was on a bit of a hill, so I ended up stuck and scared with one tire off my car and not being able to get my spare back on. So sorry Michaela for crying so much! You were such a sweetheart and helped me feel so much better in my situation. Austin was amazing too, by the time he got to me he was done within like 5 minutes, which I get it was an easy fix but you have no idea the relief I felt! Thank you guys and thanks speeds towing! read more

I was flustered and worried about my car, and Caleb was super professional and reassuring. He explained what he was doing, was able to load the car quickly even on a busy street, and made pleasant conversation the whole way to the shop. They told me it would be 1.5-2 hours after I called to request a tow, and Caleb showed up right at two hours. read more

My car broke down this morning and needed to be taken to the dealership. Usually I dread this whole process, but this tow guy shows up fast, gets my car there so quick with zero headaches. Two thumbs up! read more

I was stuck on the 12th floor of a parking garage in downtown Portland yesterday. Justin showed up to help me and he could not have been more pleasant. My cars gas relay needed to be replaced (we know that today) - somehow we were able to get the car started by doing a trick I found on utube, along with him giving my car extra power. He allowed me to follow him out of the garage and out of downtown Portland to head back to Vancouver. He sent me a text later making sure that I was ok, too. Speeds has a customer for life. Thank you, Justin! read more

Parked in a spot for under an hour and was towed. The location of tow, nearly 20 mins away in far North Portland in a very shady area without lights and dirt roads. I get that tow companies put their location out of the way, but this was in an area nobody would want to be unless escorted by police. Regardless that I paid over $241 to get my car back, the lady stayed on the phone with me giving directions and thankfully did not charge an overnight fee. I was able to take my car to the drive in that night. An unfortunate but quickly resolved tow. read more

Super expensive! Third down on the google search list is Triple J towing. They are cheaper by 1/3. And faster by two hours.

Ridiculously long wait time. Quoted 45 minutes to one hour and an hour and a half later no tow truck and we had to call them to find out how much longer. Rates are also higher than a number other tow trucks I called. We ended up canceling and calling another company that said they could be there in 15-20 minutes and actually arrived in 10. read more

The tow driver did everything he could get to get my car started when it was parked far back in my garage. He did a lot of maneuvers to get the truck as close as he could and was very mindful of the plants and other obstacles he had around him. I could tell he did not want to give up! The only unfortunate thing was that the extra long jumper cables he carried did not reach, especially because the plug in box was halfway down his cab. We had to borrow from a neighbors because mine were stuck in the trunk of my car that I couldn't open because it was dead. Only think I would recommend is that maybe they carry a portable charger or an extra set of regular cables just in case of these types of situations. read more

They work with the city to benefit off of your exploitation. This just happened to a friend of mine and his car and they charged him over $200 to retrieve it after it was stolen. This is wrong and people need to know what kind of business their money is supporting. read more
