Thank you Harout! I had to make a call for gas through AAA and was assigned to these guys (they're Angelo's towing now, I took the trouble to find their yelp page because I was so impressed). Not only was the driver - Harout - on the scene 20 minutes faster than promised, he found my car easily (I was not at a specific address), and he was Super friendly. I was really embarrassed to have had to cash and he made me feel 100% OK about it. Thanks for the help Harout, and TY Angelo's! read more

This past weekend I went out to start my 25-year-old Toyota 4-Runner and it was dead. I had had the battery replaced three years ago by Triple-A but have been told that 3 years is about the life-span of car batteries here in the hot desert. I hoped beyond hope that it merely needed a charge and called Triple-A for battery service. The company that responded was Angelo's Towing of Palm Springs - listed here on Yelp under their old name of Tony's Auto Center but now known as Angelo's Towing. The service tech that came out was Juan. Gotta say, the company was a pleasant surprise for a towing company: they responded to the AAA service request right away and followed up with texts to let me know when I could expect the driver (Juan) - who showed up on time. Juan was very friendly (always nice when dealing with a less-than-pleasant situation) and took his time testing and charging the battery and explaining what he was doing and what it meant. Based on his tests, he felt the battery would hold the charge and be fine - which it was for two days but unfortunately when I went out the second day, the battery was once again dead. AAA once again sent out Angelo's towing - this time the service tech was Hector - equally friendly. I know it might sound funny in a towing company review, but it was nice to deal with friendly guys who were there to help. That's not always the case. Hector diagnosed the battery again and came to the conclusion that it was beyond resuscitation and needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, it was not under AAA warranty as the battery had itself been a warranty replacement three years prior and warranty replacement batteries are not warranted by AAA. Hector told me a replacement battery - which he had on the truck - would be $244. As tempted as I was to just have him do it, I called Costco and found that I could get the battery I needed for only $138 - so I thanked Hector for coming out so quickly and for his diagnosis - and I chose to buy the battery at Costco. Bottom line: Angelo's Towing was a pleasure to deal with: excellent communication, timely service, friendly, helpful service techs. read more

Tony's Auto Center - Auto Repair Near Me

Today I called AAA to have my vintage Corvette towed to a nearby shop as it was having battery & electrical issues. Adam arrived quickly and helped jump my car so we could back it out of the garage in order for it to be loaded onto his truck. When we arrived at the shop, Adam was so careful in charging it and unloading it, then parking it at the shop. He was super nice and I was so grateful I had to give him a tip! This is the first time AAA used Tony's Auto Center for my tow (my Corvette is temperamental and gets towed a couple times a year) and I was very impressed with the service! read more

Eddie from Tony's Auto Center promptly came to my residence to change out a dead battery. He was efficient and courteous. Thank you so much!

Great guys. Professional and knowledgeable. Always on time. Have used them a few times through AAA. Highly recommend

We have been in the Coachella for 3 weeks and needed our vehicle towed, in a gated HOA. John , from Tony's Auto Center, responded, promptly, hooked our vehicle up, and delivered it to the mechanic, within an hour and half, from getting to us and delivering it. In the desert, that is quick. Great Service in today's world. Thank you, John. Awesome. Very dependable. read more

*Tony's Tows a Fine Line* {{{YMMV, but after reading Derek H's review & viewing his pic from 1 month ago, I can assure you these & my review is not "Fake to boost their rating" because I'm living proof of an honest & truthful experience. I'm not doubting his review, but Derek H made a false accusation with his photo description}}}*Yelp recently removed that photo I had that dreadful moment -- my car wouldn't start inside my garage and pretty much knew I needed a new battery. I contacted AAA and they quickly dispatched a tow truck driver to me and I received text alerts too. Within minutes the technician Eddie called to inform me he'd arrive in 10-15 minutes. "Wow, what service" I expressed to him. Eddie was so nice & friendly and performed a complete diagnostic check on my car battery and thought it's probably time for a replacement. He didn't pressure me to make a purchase and claimed the battery voltage was still okay and might hold a strong charge, but the amp reading was very low. Since he/we couldn't see the date on the battery to determine how old it was, he suggested to remove the battery to see if the date was hidden on the side or bottom. To both our surprise, it was the original battery that came with my car. I have a great memory but wasn't sure if I had ever replaced this battery and was uncertain if the last time I called AAA was for my other car. Eddie was just as shocked as I was that the battery lasted so long and still borderline okay. Still, he didn't pressure me to buy a new battery and gave me a quote that was about the same price elsewhere. At that point, I was convinced & sold on needing a new battery and didn't want to deal with the same thing happening again in the near future. Within minutes, the battery was replaced with a comparable & compatable battery for my car. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Tony's Auto Center...and was so impressed with Eddie and his integrity, I called Tony's afterwards to compliment him. Tony's accepts all types of credit cards, checks and cash too (but no cash discounts ;) If you're still reading this, I highly recommend Tony's or perhaps you get lucky like I did and AAA dispatches Eddie to you too. read more

We went to use our car the other night to run an errand, and surprise...it wouldn't start. I contacted AAA and they assigned my case to Tony's Auto Center Indio (I assume this is the same business?). Ivan arrived within an hour and was able to quickly confirm that the battery was dead. Ivan was able to quickly replace the battery for us and get us on our way. He was also super friendly. I couldn't be happier with the service. Thank you! read more

Tested battery and alternator, made recommendations. Great service! Very happy with results. read more

Tony's Auto Center - Thank you Tonys! - Auto Repair Near Me

Beware of this towing company. I had a very disappointing experience after they were dispatched through AAA. Despite AAA confirming that the company accepted the service request, they never showed up--and worse, left me completely stranded. Even after AAA followed up with them directly, there was no resolution or accountability. This kind of service is unacceptable, especially when customers are relying on roadside assistance in urgent situations. I strongly advise others to request a different provider if this company is assigned to your call read more

They were quick and nice. Edddy who works there, is a great guy! I would recommend them for sure.

Just Wanted to say thanku too Tony Auto Center... Woke Monday morning on my way to grocery store... Car wouldn't start... I alerted Hyundai customer service and they connected me a tow service and the driver contacted me to let me know he was on the Way as well as to confirm my address.

AAA sent Tony's to help us with a flat tire. First tech came and determined we needed a tow. He stayed with us to keep us safe while we waited for tow truck. The tow truck drivers also provided exceptional service. They were fast, efficient and great customer service!! read more

Called AAA at 8am. Driver called at 8:06 and said he was dropping a vehicle and would be headed my way. 2 hrs later and no show. Called Tony's and spoke to a gentlemen that refused to provide his name for whatever reason. Placed me on hold for almost 4 minutes to just say a manager would call me back. Never received a call. Do not use this business. Horrible customer service. read more

Absolutely wonderful and helpful company! I was stuck on the side of the road with an absolutely shredded tire and requested service from AAA. Luckily they sent Paul from Tony's auto center and he was incredibly friendly and made sure I was taken care of in my time of need! Can't recommend them enough and hopefully anyone who uses them gets the pleasure of being helped by Paul! read more

So when they loaded my vehicle onto the tow bed all was fine when they dropped it off it had shattered passenger door window and cracked headlight. 3 weeks to return my calls who proceeded to tell me it was my fault and will pay nothing for damages. Starting court papers now read more

Called AAA because I needed a jump on my motor home chassis battery. They sent Danny M from Tony's Auto Center, who did the jump, but also answered some key questions regarding my rig's battery history. I decided that likely I needed a new battery due to past problems with it holding a charge . He was extremely informative and told me of several options but was sent at my request for just a jump as the battery was only 2 years old, and not a battery evaluation. He contacted their office and Jose was sent with the diagnostic equipment and a new battery (just in case) and performed testing and confirmed the battery needed replacement. Done in a half hour and thanks to AAA, a 3 year replacement guarantee if it goes bad. Price was less than a local national chain and done at my home. Very pleased! Both these guys know their stuff. read more

My sister contacted AAA for roadside assistance with her vehicle, and Tony's came out to her rescue within 45 minutes when quoted 1 hour. Junior (aka) medardo was so amazing and took care of the problem and got the car up quickly. He was very understanding and courteous to us and was pleasant to work with. we told him about an issue we had before with someone from there and he apologized even though it wasn't him. He is an amazing guy and will be calling you up again if we continue to get service like we did with him! thank you so much junior. You made this easy and fast!!!! you're a 10!!! read more

As a AAA affiliate, Tony's Auto Center is as good as it gets. Very short wait for service, high tech analysis of vehicle charging and battery condition. Opted for a new battery with free amazingly fast removal and instalation. No pro rate warranty from AAA and back on the road in minutes. Tech was highly experienced, very personable and efficient. Highly recommend!!! read more

It is rare for me to submit a feedback survey, but Jose from Tonys Auto Center in Palm Springs was so fantastic that I had to let everybody know how much I appreciated his excellent service!!! I was totally stuck and he truly came to my rescue! Joses commitment to Customer Service made me realize that some AAA drivers are there to simply pick up a car and fix or deliver it. Jose, on the other hand, demonstrated a care and concern that was far beyond any level of service Ive ever experienced. Needless to say I am very thankful. I hope he receives a well-deserved holiday bonus! read more

They were contacted through AAA. It was a rainy day and the roads were packed and they were busy. I just thought my EV was dead due to being gone on a long trip. Tonys came and suggested we try to boost the auxiliary battery first. Voila! That's all it was. The aux battery had discharged and once boosted I was able to drive to Lexus to have it evaluated. No tow necessary. read more

Used Tony's for AAA battery service. Benny responded in only 15 minutes and located us in a parking structure. He tightened the battery post (recently dealer serviced!?!) and jump started the car. Fast and friendly service, recommended! read more

This morning I had a frustrating experience with Tony's Auto Center when I called to inquire about their pricing. The dispatcher who answered my call was unprofessional and rude, making it difficult to get the information I needed. Instead of providing assistance, He responded with impatience and a dismissive attitude. This level of customer service is unacceptable, and it left me with a negative impression of the company.I would recommend considering other options for towing services since the first point of contact which is dispatch are very rude and have horrible customer service. read more

Great response! Danny was terrific! Very knowledgeable and helpful. I am extremely happy with Tony's service.

6/24/24 I saw some rocks I wanted for my garden and drove on a dirt road to collect them and I counted 130 steps, 325 feet from my truck to the asphalt road. Got stuck in a sand trap and called AAA. They sent me Tony's Auto Center Towing. AAA does not cover past a certain point from the road. I get it, OK. He looked at my truck and said it was a half mile from the road! He mentioned that he needed to get a 4x4 to pull out my truck. OK. He quoted a $700 price to pull out my truck that was just 130 steps from the road. I said no way and he turned around and walked away. I was stranded in 100 degree heat! In desperation, I had a small shovel and worked for an hour and a half in the heat and I amazingly got out of the pit! This is an accurate account. They could have done far more to resolve this situation. A total ripoff. You make your judgement on using this company outside of the AAA parameters. They should not be affiliated with the AAA in my opinion read more

Eddie Helped me out with my tires! The best guy in town. Would highly recommend! So helpful & was in great hands!

I'd like to tell you that it was one of the most horrible experiences that I have ever had with a towing company in my entire life. The company called me 4-5 times confirming more and more information and didn't bother to dispatch a driver for more than 30 minutes after the call to AAA was made. Leading the tow to not arrive at the scene of the accident until an hour and thirty minutes after it had occurred. Leaving my automobile in the middle of heavy traffic. When the driver finally arrived not only was he rude and insistent that we take the car to his lot instead of where it needed to be so it could be repaired. He also demanded we leave the scene of the crash while he loaded the car. When we tried to provide him with directions to where the car needed to go he was adamant that he knew where the car was going, and then proceeded to take it to the wrong place. Leading to another tow on our record in order to fix his mistake, as the company insisted that we were in the wrong and would not take any responsibility. The whole company and everyone we spoke to was incredibly rude and took no accountability for their horrible service. read more

Had a dead battery. My car stuck in the garage. Called AAA and Mr Medina of Tony's was at my home within half an hour and replaced it with a new one. Very professional, friendly and speedy. It was also late on a Saturday afternoon so was impressed that all was taken care of so quickly read more

this is the worst customer care company to come across by. I called AAA to have my vehicle towed at the ticket was put in by 9:40 pm, the ETA given to me was 11:28PM by 10:15 PM it was updated to 11:58 PM. by 11:30 PM I requested a status update stating driving is now on the way, called AAA who then stated the update Tonys Auto Center gave an ETA of driver arriving in 15mins, 25 mins passed, no driver in site! seen a new update was given for ETA 12:32 AM. by 12:30 I call AAA who then say Tonys auto center is giving them an update that the Driver is only 20 mins away. 20 mins pass and no tow driver, by this point I call Tonys auto center myself at 1:10AM, the lady who answered the phone informed me the driver was only 2 blocks away with an ETA of 5 mins... I waited 7 mins before I called back which she then said that driver had to be pulled away due to an "emergency" and she would have to dispatch a new driver. I asked for a realalistic ETA and she refused to provide that at first, she was very rude and very unapologetic. she was yelling at me and speaking over me and asking if I still want the tow or not in a sarcastic tone, I then was also raising my voice explaining how terrible her customer service skills are, she yelled back at me stating driver would arrive in 30 mins and clicked. Our driver arrived at 2:45 AM. I did not arrive to my own home until 3:30 AM. The service was terrible, the delay and push back and false ETA is unacceptable and unreasonable. if I were able to do ZERO stars i would, unfortunately yelp needs to provide at least one. read more
