To the HOA in Genesis Millinea count your days. We recently moved into the community not knowing we needed a permit. No signs were posted and was shocked and frustrated to know my car was towed. Looks like this is a common issue in Chula Vista. Aside from the HOA, Western Towing company is a predatory company. The prices are ridiculous especially if you don't pick up your car within 24 hours. Luckily, it was less than 12 hours for us. Just be cautious of the price and what you're in for. read more

Predatory tow company in a new community in Chula Vista. They towed my friends car from outside their home while we were visiting and charged them $400 to get it back. This felt to me like kidnapping and demanding a ransom. Total snakes with no shame taking people's hard-earned money. read more

To the HOA that towed our new car, we hope you choke on a chicken bone but for the towing company; they didn't damage our new Tesla at all and used proper dolly so really can't say anything bad about them. The woman was respectful to me when I came to pickup the car. Would give 5 star but the pricing is a little absurd like everything else in California. EDIT: knocking off a star. Before deciding to delete all the videos of when my car was towed, I actually decided to review them one by one. I now see that the jackasses that towed my car initially did not use a dolly, which will damage a Tesla if it's not manually placed in neutral. It's seems that only because of the lights flashing and horn honking, only then did they decide to put proper dollies under the vehicle. They did so in the middle of the street and used large tire irons to force the car high enough to get the dolly underneath which there's a good chance my car is probably screwed up underneath. Need to get it on the left and check it out. Bunch of lazy dirtbags running thier operations. read more

Your typical "run-of-the-mill" towing company that prays on managerial calls from apartment complexes in hopes of finding sucker's, I mean victim's, cars to tow for no good reason. They hire rude tow truck drivers as well, who looked like they dropped out of high school and couldn't land another job. They're pretty good at towing though because you won't hear them coming! I'll give them that praise, but that's pretty much it. I get that times are tough especially with Trump's tariff in place, but this place charges ridiculous prices in Chula Vista. Take a look at the price of how much if your car gets towed and redeemed within one hour...lol. read more

Predatory! My car was just towed for a second time, while legally parked in front of my home.

Apart from the illegal way they took our car, the entire situation was handled with zero professionalism or transparency. The driver hooked the car as fast as possible without following basic safety procedures ( he had plenty of space to do so ) , clearly just trying to drag it out of our residential zone before we could ask any questions. We were literally standing next to the car, and he waited until he exited the area to start "fixing" the towing setup properly. On top of that, he gave us completely wrong information, which caused us to wait over 3 hours and eventually go home without the car -- all so they could charge extra storage fees. It felt intentional. But the real nightmare was the person at the front desk who claimed to be the manager. She refused to hear a single word, wouldn't let us finish a sentence, and her only response was basically "pay or leave." No explanation, no customer service, no professionalism. Just rude, dismissive, and shouting for no reason even though we were simply asking questions. I understand this type of business deals with frustrated customers, but that doesn't justify this level of disrespect. With the way they operate -- the rushed tow, the misinformation, the unnecessary waiting, the rudeness, and the extra charges -- this company honestly feels like a scam. read more

Don't wish to nobody to be here over the prize $,80 per day after hours. One hundred ten dollars after hours

It was $440 for one tow 21 mins away. Regular sedan 4 door. Expensive, lot is filthy, and hard to access.

I'm not going to lie, my experience here did not come under good circumstances, but this is true of any towing company and the nature of their work. My rating is strictly about how this facility processes pick ups. They are on top of being informative and transparent about their fees and made picking up a car very easy. When I called to get the status of a vehicle, they provided all the information on the phone so I knew exactly what I was going to pay when I arrived. The lady at the counter who processes payment was very quick and if there is no line and you have your information with you, a transaction could take literally less than 5 minutes. Just have your license, proof of insurance or registration, and payment method available on hand immediately. Be mindful that there is a fee per day the car is there, as well as having to have the lot opened after hours in addition to the base pay. Be mindful of getting towed during the holidays or the weekends, those fees could add up. read more

If I could give 0 star i would. All we wanted to do was to simply get our car back 30 minutes after they towed the car. Was Charged $400 which is ridiculous,and Nicholas was super rude and disrespectful the entire time,making the process so complicated with his unnecessary attitude. read more

they towed my vehicle, claiming it was next to a fire hydrant. When I asked them to provide proof that they measured, they had none and stated that they didn't need to in order to tow the vehicle and if I had a problem with that you take off in small claims court because she did not have to prove anything in order to tow a vehicle read more

These people are crooks. I was in my garage unloading with my hazard lights on and the key was inside the car and they took it. I had to chase them down and they still wouldn't stop. These people are the worst. No empathy for anybody read more

This corrupt company is illegally towing cars in the Briarwoods complex in Bonita. They take cars in the middle of the night for "Violating" the 24/hr rule, when in reality nobody is breaking the rules. They pay off neighbors who call them. read more

Terribly ran business. They towed my boyfriend's work truck because he accidentally parked in a spot 17 instead of 27. The numbers were faded and couldn't make it out clearly. Tow company cannot tow unless they can clearly see the spot number which there is no way they could have. I know this because that's what they told me in the past. Besides that we called and asked what we need to get the vehicle out and they said a pay stub showing he works for the company. We show up with a pay stub and then they tell us we need all kinds of other documents to get the vehicle out. Like why didn't they say that on the phone so during the 2 hours we waited for them to open we could've had the paperwork ready? Wasting people's time to make money. Rude and not helpful. Also just noticed they charge military (specifically Navy) more for storage than regular tows. read more

Let me first start with how rude the person at night was when we first got there. My husbands work vehicle was towed at 2am! for apparently blocking the driveway where we have parked several times before a neighbor complained for no apparent reason, ( they could have knocked to ask to move instead of being a asshole. all our neighbors are nice to each other but i don't know what happened with this man) we had called while outside this company yard and asked the lady the exact address to the office so we can get the car out, she gave us attitude and said " you said you were right outside" yes we were outside, there were 2 gates, we wanted to make sure that it was the correct front of the building.... that was 1. the second issue we had was that she had called over to the person at the gate, and this dude was the RUDEST guy ever. he got smart with my husband saying the car was not there, when my husband had the keys and alerted the car prior to attempting to call to get the car out. i told him that we JUST called and to stop lying. the guy kept saying it wasn't there, when finally the lady called him and said we were there. my husband told me to calm down because he wanted the car back, the guy kept being a sassy smart ass through the whole process. we just wanted the car back, not to have issues. this place gives rude ass hell vibes all around and filled with lies. hope no one else has to experience this kinda b.s ever. read more

I parked my vehicle in front of my house and I was parked literally right next to my garage and when I was done unpacking and moving my furniture around I noticed my car was gone. I recently moved to chula vista with my girlfriend and I am shocked with how I am treated so early into my recent move. I was parked maybe 30 min and someone called to get my car towed. Not to mention there are no red curbs that are supposed to represent fire lanes. The call was because I was apparently parked in fire lane which is false. The company Western Towing in Chula Vista should be sued and they should lose their towing license. Also when I called to find out where my vehicle was towed to the lady who answered the call was very rude and refused to answer any question I had or she said that's information she couldn't tell me. I don't wish any bad on anyone but everyone that works for Western Tow I hope you get what karma is going to have for you in near future. Horrible people. read more

Tow companies are predatory in nature and I was about to write a bad review up until i went to receive my car. The kind lady at the counter was understanding and really helped me to get my car out. As a business i dont like them, but the people there are very nice. Wish the daily charges were lower, usually people who get their car towed are down on their luck, compounding this to their finances is hard. read more

This has got to be the worst experience I've ever had dealing with this company. My vehicle was parked with a permit on the dashboard and was still towed. After much deliberation, I caved in and I paid $390 to get my rightfully parked vehicle in my complex out of thisfacility. The worst company in the planet. Besides military recruiters and attorneys, I think tow truck companies/ drivers have a special place in hell. Update: After attempting to reason with staff about and after hours charge of $100.00, I was rudely hung up on. It seemed she was not aware of her own policy when questioning why an additional charge was added on my invoice. She became extremely argumentative and eventually hung up the phone. Prior to hanging up she advised that my question was a civil matter.... I was calling to get an explanation. read more

Disgusting behavior we witnessed from being parked at an area where the sign was almost completely painted black and had a plant growing on top of it My truck was towed, and we were given the runaround by so many different people Employees or whatever they are calling themselves these days if I was the owner of this towing company, I would be embarrassed to hear how my employees talk to customers. After all I am a paying customer since was charged $400 after two hours and given the runaround. I was told no one was on the clock. I was told someone was gonna be to me in 20 minutes. I was told by another employee that was too bad. No one called me and I went to the destination. I don't know where he expect us to go. We sat next to a station where a man was doing drugs for almost 2 hours. We had no sympathy from anyone until we reached a woman and she told us nobody was on the clock and they were gonna make us wait there until the night time read more

When I called, I was told the lot closes at 1pm so I rushed over and when I arrived I was told I had to wait 30 minutes (was not given a reason) and then I noticed the two men in the office were eating. I called back the number I had spoken with earlier and the woman called the office and relayed that they were taking their break. There is absolutely no reason that an employee should be taking a lunch break 40 minutes before the business closes (leaving only 10 minutes for wrapping up the business day). That is poor planning, poor staffing, poor customer service on their part. They either need to close for 30 minutes at the same time everyday, or stagger their lunch breaks. They are dealing with customers that are very stressed out and need to be as efficient and professional as possible. read more

I finally paid for car they told me to wait outside and someone will be with me . 30 minutes later I realized they for got about me until I said something . Manager on site did apologize however , they walk me to wrong lot . Then came back and my car was buried in the back and had to wait another 20 minutes to pull cars out. Mean while 4 people in line behind me already left . Highly disappointed!!! read more

This tow company is TRASH! They do predatory towing. These low lives come on their own and drive around looking for anyone to tow. They are contracted by our HOA to come when they are called but they come without being called. This lovely waste of air came to tow my car while it was parked in front of MY garage while I ran up and let my dad know I was there to pick him up. It took no more than 5 minutes and this guy was about to hitch my car. This was the guys reaction after we refused to let him take my car. I have since brought this up to our HOA and hope we get rid of this trash once and for all. read more

I'm not one that wishes anything bad on any business, but this one needs to be shut down!! They are the most rude, unprofessional workers I have ever encountered. They towed my vehicle out of my (own) parking spot from my townhome due to the perception of my tags being expired. This makes no sense if it was my own assigned parking spot. My registration has been renewed but I was on a detachment for work, so I was unable to put my stickers on right away. Still baffles me they would grab it out of my own assigned parking spot lol. I feel bad for whoever drove a black Porsche because the lady who didn't seem to have her 6k forklift license carelessly was beating it up and dropping it. Along with the rest of the cars she couldn't maneuver. Below is a wonderful gash they seemed to bless me with. I'm beyond disappointed in the way they acted and don't wish anyone else to go through this. read more

It is a hustler company; I get it when they help when your car broke down, but not when they towed your car in front of your home for missing de night permit. They have the right to still your car, and then you have to pay them to get it back. It is not a helpful business; it only hurts families and especially during this economic recession time. read more
