Raul was amazing--he really pulled through. We had an emergency on Friday around 5 PM (rush hour), and our electric car completely died while stopped on train tracks. It was a stressful and unsafe situation with traffic building quickly. I called and explained everything. Even though he was busy, he made it work and came through for us. He acted fast, handled the situation professionally, and went above and beyond to get the car safely off the tracks and delivered. Given how limited towing options can be in East Oakland and surrounding residential areas, having someone reliable like Raul makes a huge difference. I highly recommend his service read more

Flat bed tow across the bridge, made it to the body shop on a Friday afternoon. Great job

Hit a pot hole on freeway at 4:30am and damaged both my left side tires, was stranded on freeway in Thanksgiving day and no other tow place was open. Called the only place that said were open on Thanksgiving. Raul showed up 15min and towed me home. Gave me great advice and made my frustrating moment feel better. Thank you sir, I appreciate you read more

I first called AAA to try to get it towed but they shrugged their shoulders and left me on my own. Tip Towing came with the utmost professionalism and knowledge, getting my car out of an awkward position and onto his truck. I would give 10 stars if I could! Recommend using Tip towing if you're ever stuck on the side of the road or in an tight situation. read more

I contacted Tip Towing about needing a vehicle towed at my commercial office building. I gave all the details and they claimed they would tow it without issue, except they never towed the vehicle and stopped responding to my follow-up attempts. Be warned. read more

I have nothing but great experiences with Tip Towing! They helped me remove an unauthorized vehicle from my property, and I couldn't be happier with their service. I manage a large apartment community, and Tip Towing is reliable and a great help whenever I need them! Raul was fantastic--quick, efficient, and incredibly helpful. He made the whole process smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for a reliable towing company, I highly recommend giving Tip Towing a call. They're professional, responsive, and truly a great business to work with! read more

Ridiculous wait time! I'm investing in jumper cables! It's $150 for a tow or $120 for a jump off. I chose the jump off. It waited almost one hour for a guy in van to arrive and jump my car off. He was kind and gave advice on car maintenance. However, I was told 30 minutes, and I waited one hour. During my wait time, the service person was responsive and professional. I'm rating two stars for the wait time. Thankfully, this incident happened during the daytime with loads of people around. I wasn't stranded. read more

This place is great. I was unable to get a local tow truck in San Rafael and they drove all the way over from Oakland and took my vehicle to Concord at a very reasonable price. read more

Highly recommended. Car decided to call it quits on me New Years day, called Raul looking to get a tow. He was upfront with the total cost for the trip. Coming from San Leandro to Stockton, it was a more than fair price. Estimated a 30 min wait time and was upfront and communicated his arrival. Super helpful and made the drive to the valley enjoyable despite the terrible circumstance. On top of that he's a car guy and will take car of your car whether is a beater or a supercar. Thanks again Raul, read more

Great local guy! Quick to respond! Was eager to help and very courteous. I shopped around , he was the best value for the tow he quoted me. You won't be dissatisfied read more

Pick up my vehicle from the auto action, Great communication and very affordable.. and trusted company

They responded to us really quickly and got our car towed to where we needed it within the hour!

just asking around for availability and cost . We didn't need the services anymore but RAUL was very helpful, quick to respond asking a lot of questions to give the best help. I definitely recommend coming here they will help you out . Thanks again read more

Good service, very nice gentlemen, and very responsive. Cool guy to talk to and always updated me about his movements.

I needed to get my car towed to get repairs. Unlike other towers, response to my quote request was quick, the price was right, and best of all was that Raul not only was efficient, he made me feel a bit less lousy about the fact that I had to get my car towed in the first place. That is huge in my book! read more

Raul took great care of us. His communication skills were great he was there when promised. He rolled with the punches that came with dealing with me. He's the family tow truck now. Just call the man...you'll be glad you did. read more

So awesome - I got lucky and he was 2 minutes away. Super responsive and helpful! Will call again, I'm sure!

Raul was awesome! Super responsive, prompt, and got the car safely to the body shop from my neighborhood. Great pricing as well. Highly recommend for your towing needs!! read more

My car was towed parking in a lot by Tip Towing. One red flag was that unlike other towing company who does not need to break into your vehicle to tow away, Tip Towing apparently broke into the car and drove off with it and there was a lot more mileage on the vehicle when we picked up the car. However, Tip Towing owner insisted he did not drive on my car, I would give him the benefit of the doubt. When at pick up, the car wasn't even parked in a secured lot, just on the street in a residential area in Oakland, unlocked. We paid the fees (which he insisted us paying cash, another red flag) and got the possession of the car on Feb 1, but still received a letter a few days later from a lien sale company stating that a lien will be placed on the vehicle on Feb 5 if I do not redeem the vehicle. What? I already paid and got the car. I called back to Tip Towing and the owner said he already contacted the lien sale company and it was taken care of, which I later found out he did not. Two months after that, I received a letter from DMV saying the lien holder, Tip Towing, will sell my car, which I have the possession with, if I do not respond to the DMV. On April 22, I went to DMV and was told by the DMV staff that the lien was placed on April 5, two month after I picked up the car. After calling the ASAP Lien Sales on April 22, the office lady from ASAP Lien Sales told me Tip Towing did not call them up to cancel the lien until April 22. So what he said that as soon as I picked up the car and paid the fees, the lien is dropped is a big lie. So he made a mistake not communicating to ASAP Lien Sales and cancel the lien from Feb 1 to April 22. Instead of admitting to his mistake and apologize, I had to keep reminding him to have it taken care of and to contact ASAP Lien Sales to cancel the lien. I wouldn't have posted this review if he did what he claimed he would do on February, and I did not have to take out my work time to go to DMV to have it taken care of myself. I am just wondering how many times Tip Towing has done these illegal practices seeking to lien sale cars after the owners paid the dues on time. Please the authorities, look into this business and its business partner "ASAP Lien Sales" and see if any other people are the victim of their illegal actions! read more

The towing service provided was professional and reliable. The price they quoted me was reasonable.

Raul with Tip Towing came thru when AAA failed miserably. My wife's car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I contacted my tow serivces (AAA) and waited for over 3 hours...they ended up cancelling on me with NO notice. I was upset. I then Googled last minute for a tow company and decided to to with this one. Raul was responsive, was able to provide me with a firm arrival time, and literally saved the day. I'm recommending him to everyone I know. 5-STAR SERVICE. I am cancelling my AAA membership and going with Tip Towing for future tow service. SERIOUSLY, thank you Raul. Good to know there are quality businesses out there. read more

I blew out a front tire on an Oakland pothole. I waited 2 1/2 hours for the Porsche towing service which never showed up ! I found Tip Towing on the web, and they came promptly (in a flat bed tow truck, which was required for my car) and towed it home and put it in my garage. Raul (and his wife) were very courteous/friendly and made me feel comfortable on the ride home. read more

This service is A1! Our car stalled on the side of the road and AAA would not wow it bc I did not have current tags on the car- even though the car was registered and insured!!! So we called Tip Towing because we had seen their great service once before. We got immediate response and an ETA. If you are looking for a reliable and and professional service- look no further than Tip Towing! They are awesome! read more

Immediately came to tow my car. 100% recommend. Gave me a quote on the phone which was honored. Nice person as well.

Raul from Tip Towing responded quickly and was very professional. Highly recommend his services.

Raul is the best. We were in a tight situation and needed to retrieve a vehicle. It wouldn't have happened without his professionalism. I would give him a 10 star review if I could. read more

Great with time and very helpful very reasonable on pricing and made sure we got to where I needed to be safely! Recommend tip towing! For any towing services ! read more

Raul was very professional and super empathetic as well. My mother is currently sick and he worked with my schedule and availability. He was very punctual and very insightful about my vehicle. I strongly recommend Tip Towing for all your towing and car services!!! read more

Very unprofessional will not return vehicle based on payment request hoping for some kind of solution to resolve issues with this company

Illegally towed my car, they did not report it to OPD so I had no way to figure out who or what towing company had my car. Police told me to report it stolen, so I did. OPD found it a few days later parked on the sidewalk with the hood open, looked like they were getting ready to strip for parts. I know it was Tip Towing because their tow truck was parked less than a block away from where my car was found. read more

Raul is truly amazing at his job! My mom and I were experiencing car trouble in Orinda this past weekend, almost stranded. We both have AAA memberships and will most likely avoid using them again because of Raul's amazing service. He was a little out of the way when we requested a Tow but he accommodated us, no questions asked. He was fast, professional, communicative and most importantly a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Tip Towing for all of your tow needs. Even if you are a AAA member, Tip Towing can bill AAA for the cost. It was so easy and he made us feel comfortable the whole time! Thank you again Raul!!! read more

Raul was very responsive and replied to my messages/queries always immediately leading up to the service. He helped with my drained car battery, was very kind, and gave tips to keep the battery healthy. Very friendly as well! read more

Needed my car towed to the shop at the last minute. Contacted this guy and he was quick, prompt, and very professional! Got me and my car to the destination with no issues! Very knowledgeable about cars and so many other things!! I got a immediate response even at the crack of dawn in the morning, a set ETA and it exceeded all of my expectations. I would def refer this service to other and will be using him again! read more

Great value and very fast to respond.
