Twice Vics towing has come to my rescue. A while back I locked my keys in the car at the gas station on Washington in Sonora. They arrived quick and didn't charge me About a month ago I was on a date... we were on our way to the Pepper restaurant not my favorite but that's a different review anyway the guy missed the driveway to the restaurant and ended up in a ditch. The Camaro was stuck front wheel kept spinning. I called Vic's it was a Friday night it was a bit of a wait but the tow truck driver was really nice and cute. He was able to get this guy's car out and that was the end of the date. read more

My boyfriend and I went up Sonora Pass, and it was a great day until the car overheated on the way back down. We were still about 6 miles east of Strawberry. We called for a tow truck, fully expecting to wait a couple of hours or more, but Jason arrived within the hour! The first thing he did was offer us water, and asked if we were OK. He got the car loaded up and we hopped in the truck. Once we got to Strawberry he asked us if we needed to stop for a bathroom break, or to get any food or drink. We didn't, but what an incredibly considerate and kind thing to offer! We had a great conversation during the drive back to Sonora, and once we got to the mechanic he suggested a better place for us to wait for our ride home. Kudos to Vic's Towing, and especially to your exceptional driver Jason. read more

First time my old F250 failed me and it happenned to be in a terrible place for a break-down. Stuck on old Hwy 49 with those big lumber trucks flying by. Called AAA, told them i was in serious safety trouble. Lucky for me, Clay from Vic's Towing was there in less than ten minutes. Can't say enough how grateful i am for his professionalism in getting me out of there. Five Stars for Vic's and if i could, Ten Stars for Clay. Thank You!!! read more

We got the red triangle of death after a lovely breakfast at the Pine Cone Cafe in Mi Wuk Village. We were visiting Pinecrest from out of town and had zero connections. After reaching out to Vic's Towing, Tony showed up within 15 minutes and got the car set up on the truck within minutes. He was kind, helpful and gave us some insights to the area. Not only did Tony deliver the dead car to the shop, he knew we would have a hard time finding a ride back (the place we were staying was in Pinecrest) and came back to give us a ride (on his way to his next pick up). He didn't need to do this and showed the level of service and kindness he possess. Tony made a tough time much easier and showed us that the kindness of strangers is still alive and well. Thank you Tony & Thank you Vic's Towing! read more

We just had Josh, at Vic's, tow our camping van. He was awesome!! Super helpful!! Thanks so much!!

Yesterday my car gave out on me on 108 near Lime Kiln. My driver Michael appeared within 10 minutes of receiving call from AAA. He was professional, quick and managed a tight squeeze getting onto my property. Amazingly he put my car right where I needed it to the small space beside my garage. Very Impressive! Thank You Michael and Vics Towing !!! read more

Vics towing came out to Pinecrest campground on a Sunday to rescue my family after our vehicle gave us a series of weird warning lights and wouldn't start. Like most things in the mountains (as a mountain resident) it takes a bit especially on Sundays for towing services. However they called within a half hour of the initial AAA call and let us know they had limited drivers and it would be awhile. They also called again when they were able to dispatch a driver. It was about 3.5 hours from initial AAA call to arrival but again....we've done this before in the mountains and this was on target for normal. Driver was considerate and communicative on arrival and tried a few different things with our battery before giving us our options. We ended up doing a relay tow since with limited drivers they couldn't tow us out of county. Everything went smoothly, driver was friendly, and efficient. We were super grateful for the assist and would definitely recommend this business. For folks complaining in other reviews about wait times , sometimes on weekdays you can get lucky but in general up here there's limited services and waiting is normal. read more

Unfortunately for me, I was stuck with a broken truck... a 2022 Ram 3500 DRW with only 6000 mi on the odometer... No Bueno! But... no fear... I was able to call Vics Towing in Sonora and Clayton was there in no time (45 min. from call to arrival) to load my rig and get me down the road to the dealership so they could assess and repair the transmission. Clayton was quick to get me loaded, he was also friendly and efficient while trying to troubleshoot the issue I was having so he could relay the information to the service writer at the dealership, again going above and beyond what was necessary. The outstanding quality of service also came at a very reasonable cost, an excellent value for a superb service call. Vics Towing is a family-owned company and their commitment to providing the best service is truly appreciated. Thanks to all at Vics Towing for all of your help!! read more

Kind, courteous, prompt, and professional, I would call again if needed. I would highly recommend

My father in law drove into a ditch in columbia, ca. theae guys got him out. Great job!

Tony was our driver and he went above and beyond to tow my tahoe for me! He was quick, kind, professional, and made our unfortunate life circumstances feel just a little lighter. I couldn't recommend him enough. Vic's has some really great guys working there, but if Tony is there, know you're in great hands! Even being halloween it was the quickest tow I've ever gotten and I was amazed at how fast I was hooked up and on the way back home. read more

Vic's Towing - Yep, we are on vacation. - Towing Near Me - Sonora, California

Vic's towing did a great job getting us towed after we broke down in our 35' Class A MH. AAA left us feeling stranded off the side of the road saying no one was available to get to us. Needless to say that was not good, but Vic's called us just to see if we got taken care of by AAA. They had a driver (Shout out to Clay) come out and look at our motorhome. He was able to get us towed back home to Manteca. We can't thank them enough for there help. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Vic's Towing. My family and I were traveling annual Summer RV trip when the transmission in my motorhome bit the dust. I called AAA and they sent Vic's towing to the rescue. Clay was so helpful, professional, talented and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to tow my rv over the craziest road imaginable . He and his truck handled the treacherous features of highway 49 with ease. I definitely recommend Vic's towing to anyone in need of assistance. They are the best I have ever encountered. Thank you!!! read more

Thank you Vic's!! We were stranded on the J59 just south of the 108, and if you drive that road you know it is not a place you want to be stranded especially when it is dark (it was about 8:30pm). Our Road Side assistance could not find anyone and our families road side company said it would be 2 hours. So I found Vic's and they were absolutely amazing. ETA 1 hour but would try hard to get someone sooner. The driver got there in less than 30 minutes. I know this was a blessing and is not always going to happen but I am glad it did on this occasion. The driver and dispatcher were both helpful and friendly. Thank you to both of them. Also note that my iPhone maps showed they were closed but I called anyways and very glad I did. read more

I had a dead battery at home. We have AAA so I called and they sent Vic's Toeing Service. I needed a replacement battery not just a jump. The gentleman Van who helped me was just wonderful. Very kind and quite a talker which I enjoyed. It was so much easier than me having to drive downtown. Good price and quick too. I would highly recommend this company and glad AAA use them in our area! read more

My father is a special snowflake and somehow managed to lock his keys inside of his rental car, while we were in the mountains without cell phone reception. Cool. Fortunately it wasn't too far of a walk to where we got cell phone reception and I called Vic's Towing at the suggestion of someone near our group. Boy, did I luck out with these guys! There happened to be a driver in the area and he was to our location and unlocked the rental van within 90 minutes. Josh, the driver, was hilarious and really fun to talk to. The dispatcher at Vic's was excellent and she was great with communication. Highly recommend these guys. Thank you for saving me some additional family drama! read more

My car was rolling down an icy road and eventually got stuck in the middle of the road. Donnie from Vic's was extremely helpful through the entire situation while we were stressed as we aren't familiar with snow. He even got my car turned around and was able to tow me just a few blocks up the hill to where I could safely drive. Highly recommend! read more

Fuel pump module went out on my 2001 Chevy Tahoe - died & was stuck on the side of the road along 108 in Jamestown. AAA representative said 90 min before flat bed truck would show up. In less than an hour, Aaron showed up, got me loaded up & delivered me back home - all good! Excellent time - good experience! read more

They saved us! They are so awesome went up to get some pictures in the snow and got stuck, they got us right out.

Vic's really took care of me. My car broke down and needed to be towed nearly 100 miles away. Not only were they super nice and worked with me the whole time.

Sima and team were awesome, going way above and beyond the "normal" functions of a towing company. They made recommendations to us as far as car rentals, mechanics, tweaks to my AAA membership level, and even read our palms and said we were going to win the lottery! (Ok, maybe that was a stretch). Great people, great attitude, thank you!! read more

Our trucks radiator over heated so we got stranded on the side of 108. Josh (who works at Vic's) saw my family on the side of the road and pulled over to help even though he didn't have to. I appreciate him for that. He was friendly and personable and truly put us at ease that we weren't stranded on the side of 108 not being able to get ahold of anyone. Thank you Vic's for employing guys like Josh!! read more

Worst service around. Customer Service and drivers are rude and think it's okay to hang up on customers when scamming doesn't work. We called them for a tow that was 10 minutes away from Arnold. Gave specific directions and exact coordinates to both, the office and the driver. The driver said he knows the area and knows where to go. He told us that the truck will be in Sacramento by 10- 11 pm of the same day. Except, suddenly, the story changed. Apparently it took him 4 hours to find the truck in the area that he knew that was 10 mins away. And of course they charged for all 4 hours. When the driver was apparently "lost", we were on the phone with the company trying to figure out where he was and giving the best directions to find the truck. This took 10 minutes, not 4 hours as they claim. Then the company decided it was too late to bring the truck to Sacramento so they promised to do it first thing in the morning. But in the morning, they found a better deal, on that'll make them more money. And decided to charge us additionally for 7 HOURS at $250 per hour to take it to Sacramento!! That is a maximum of a 3 hr drive!!! When we didn't agrees, the driver got angry and threw down the phone! This company over charges, is rude, and is full of people trying to scam their customers!!! Call Sam Berri instead. They quoted us $150 per hour, work quickly, and are professional! read more

We were pleased Van made it up our snowy driveway. He was pleasent and knew his job like a pro. I'll be using Vic's because of Van and his love of good old Rock and Roll. read more

I have been using Vic's for years. They have always arrived as soon as they possibly could. The drivers are excellent, professional and do their very best in usually less than desirable circumstances. I have called them under many different circumstances for 30 plus years and have never had a single problem. This is a more objective observation than somebody under duress, from out of the area, and thinks everything should happen for them immediately. Unfortunately there are many times when tow trucks are extremely busy and have multiple calls to take care of. So if you have't performed proper preventative maintenance on your vehicle and its over 100 degrees on a holiday weekend and your are driving home from the mountains and your car or RV takes a dump and you are not taken care of in 20 minutes. Think about the possible consequences of what you failed to do before you take it out on a towing company. The highways in the foothills are filled with idiots from the LA, Bay Area, Modesto(and Sonora) on weekends, they do not now how to perform maintenance on their vehicles, drag their trailer chains,pass on double lines/blind hills, speed and die. Every weekend!! read more

My family broke down ina bad spot.

Shout out to this wonderful organization. Had a flat tire going over Sonora Pass on HWY 108. Called AAA for a tow truck as my Cadillac SRX doesn't have a spare tire, not even a donut. Needed to be towed. Well, AAA dispatched Vic's towing. What a pleasure to deal with this business. The professionalism and courtesy extended from the dispatch office to the actual truck driver. The vehicle they sent was clean inside and out, the driver uniform was clean and professional looking, and the driver himself was most courteous and helpful. He had the car up on the tow bed in no time and safely got us to the place we chose. I highly recommend Vic's Towing when stranded on the side of the road in/near Sonora and the surrounding areas they service. Well done Vic's Towing team. read more

My tire blew out on the way to the mountains just past Knights Ferry today. I called AAA and they dispatched Vic's Towing from Sonora. Had about 20 min wait time. My family got out of our truck while the tow truck driver loaded my truck on the flat bead. We had to wait until a family member came from Salida to take my family home. I than drove back with driver . I did not ask this bearded tow truck his name. But he was very professional and courteous. He did a good Job. read more

Vics towing left me stranded for 6 hours. They are the only AAA company in Sonora and tried to rip me off because of this status. My truck was broken down on a dirt road which AAA would not cover so Vics wanted to charge me triple the price of the other companies in town to move me off the dirt road to the pavement. Not only that but the misinformed crotchety dispatcher was trying to scold me for being on a road that is clearly marked as a private easement to access a public parking lot. Rather then focusing on trying to help me she was throwing out threats of calling authorities. Which wouldn't matter as it is a public parking area with a BLM toilet and everything. Vics did have the towing capability to help me but not with out a inflated price. I ended up waiting from 8 pm until 1 am until a smaller company was available. If you are willing to pay triple the price I bet they would be great, but I was not willing to find out. If I ever break down in that area I would beg AAA to send someone from another area as Vic's seemed more interested in trying to cause me problems then to solve them. read more

Had to wait 3 1/2 hours for him to show up. The guy was very rude. Then told me to ride in car being towed. Thought this was not legal. Then told me to call a cab. People told me this was the owners son. Need to have a talk with tow truck driver he is very rude !!!!!!! read more

Whens one's vehicle breakdown it can be frustrating and especially when my pickup was loaded with "Junk" ready to go go to the dump. A quick call to the mechcanic Jim Brindos and he stated with a friendly smile "have it towed." A call to Vics Towing was also friendly and with a short time Vics Towing was at my business, the driver gave insight as to the possible problems, he was professional, quick and off went my F- 150 riding in the sunset garabage in all to be delivered to the auto shop. My frustration was relieved knowing the little "Red Truck" was in good hands. read more

We broke down on the bypass about 3:30 p.m. I called Vics and she said it would be about 3hrs. I said we just got back from Monterey and picked up our 2 little dogs. We're in our 70s. with no water, no ac. The suns beating down on us and we can't sit he 3hrs. She said she can't recommend any body. I called my mechanic and he said call Affordable Towing and they'll come get you. They came right out. I'll use them from now on. Found put we're not the only ones who were told we'd have to wait 3hrs. That's no way to run a business. Get more trks. and more help! read more
