    Error message that Honda needed to reset for us
    Brianne A.

    Wish I could give zero stars. The place has the worst customer service!! Communication is horrible. They sent status emails and when I called they get upset and say the email is wrong. They had our car for over 3 months and heard nothing but excuses. When I finally got the car back, it was filthy inside and out, had a sticky substance on the side mirror that we had to have detailed /buffed out, they didn't reset the computer system so we kept getting errors. Took it to Honda to get inspected and found out world auto body put a bad axel and Honda needed to replace it. They also put the wrong tire and that needed to be replaced as well. World auto did give us our deductible back but still would never go back or refer anyone to this place! They also left another customers car key in our vehicle that they had to come pick up

    This is before with a black grill

    This company is the worst company I've ever had to deal with. They lie to you so much, they can't remember them telling the same lie. Instead of the victim, they make you feel like the cause of the accident. My car just needed a front grill from an acciden. it's going on 6 weeks now. I definitely could of put the grill on myself by now. The first time they put the grill on it was the wrong one, that they tried to persuade me to like, then tried to tell me that if I wanted it my way, witch is simply the way I brought it in, that they wasn't going to be able to warrenty it. So I call my insurance and they made them order the right part, and because of that, now they are playing games. I've been waiting 4 weeks. I just called today and my lawyer said they said they were waiting on me to come in...HOW AM I JUST POST TO KNOW TO JUST COME IN? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW MY CAR PART WAS EVEN THER, I GOT NO PHONE CALLS FROM NOBODY! They just like to sit your work to the side if they're not making good money off of it. Depending on how much money they can squeeze out of your insurance, your car will be ready when they are done with cash paying clients. Your inconvenience does not matter to them. They broke my headlight trying to fix my grill, then tryed to blame it on me. Then made me drive for a week with one headlight because they didn't think it was there fault. Both headlights worked before I dropped my car off though, when I pick it up they don't work! Very bad business, there attitude is bad, they talk to you like back alley homeboys and the place look like a chop shop. I only went to them because of the insurance of the people who hit my car but I would never never never recommend this shop to no one. I can almost guarantee your going to get the same service. I can't wait to not even deal with this place anymore, I still have to wait for them to put the correct grill on my car that I can do myself, that they over charge insurance for like there doing a big service. Businesses like this needs to be shut down period

    RoadOne Towing - Can anyone explain this to me? I feel like I've been burned in the worst way rn

    RoadOne Towing

    Around midnight and as I am cruising down the freeway out of the blue a big piece of wood(??) was…read morein the road. It couldn't safely be avoided and one of my tires hit it. My tire pressure warning light didn't turn on, so I kept driving.... but 30-60 seconds and I find myself making an emergency stop on the shoulder to find out that my tire is completely sheared. **Searching Yelp for a towing company with good reviews that was open at midnight and would service the area near Del Mar was not panning out.** Fortunately a CHP officer pulled up and asked me if I wanted him to call a towing company [for which I would be responsible to pay]. Given my unfruitful Yelp search I said that would be appreciated. He contacted RoadOne Towing and said they typically arrive w/in 15 minutes. 5-10 minutes later RoadOne r arrived. He told me it would be $154 plus mileage to tow the car. I asked him what would be the price to change the tire with my spare; he said it would be a flat $154 (pun intended :) ). He changed the tire lickety split, charged my credit card, and I was on my way. I forget the name of the driver who changed my tire, but he was very friendly. If you find yourself in need of a tow or tire change, especially late at night in the Del Mar / Encinitas area, I would definitely recommend RoadOne Towing. Thank you also to the CHP officer for calling them for me. P.S. I have no idea if the rates are the same if you call them directly versus if the CHP calls them for you.

    very high marks for the driver at RoadOne Towing but very low marks for the company in general…read more my sixteen-year-old son Wyatt had borrowed my truck and was headed home after a wrestling tournament. he hit something on the freeway that blew up a front tire and took a hard left turn into the westbound 78 median in San Marcos. he wasn't seriously injured but the Tundra wasn't drivable. the tow truck was already hooking up by the time I get there which was PDQ. fast, friendly, efficient, but here's where things get sketchy: he asks me where I want the truck towed and I tell me as close as he can get to Carlsbad. the Tundra got dropped off at a yard in Escondido and, with a little back-dating, was checked in before midnight. apparently, the yard runs on Hawaiian Standard time. why is that important? because the yard charges storage fees by the day so I got charged for Friday. they're not open on weekends, so I get charged for Saturday and Sunday. Monday's a holiday and they're not open so I get charged for Monday. they don't take credit cards over the phone and I can't get to the yard because it's in effing Escondido and they have my truck so I get charged for Tuesday too. with a lot of help from USAA, the yard got paid and the Tundra towed to a repair place in Carlsbad. total cluster-bang. I doubt the driver got a cut of the money scammed by the yard which is a shame because he did the heavy lifting on a chilly, wet, and generally miserable night. anyway, if you use RoadOne Towing, do a better job of getting control of the situation early and often than I did.

    I was caught between a rock and a hard place this afternoon. My car started to make a VERY loud…read morerattling noise in the wheel well on the passenger side. Something fairly terrifying at 50 mph. I yanked the car over and stopped and stood confused about what the problem could be. The driver for Delta, his name was Jeff (or Geoff?), was punctual and took my car out of harm's way. The wait wasn't unreasonable (roughly 35-40 minutes). When Jeff lowered my car off the truck he spotted the problem! My brake caliper was out of position! One of my caliper retention bolts was missing! It had fallen off after I probably failed to torque it enough after previously replacing my rotors. It was one heck of a repair! A whopping total of about $2.00 for a new bolt at Hoehn Honda, lol! I fixed it the next day.

    Geoff from Delta Towing saved my life this week! I got stuck…read moreon my way home From brunch in Carlsbad and they were quick to respond and send out help. I don't think I waited more than 10 minutes before Geoff had arrived. And since I was stuck on the side of the road, with cars zooming past me, I was relieved to see their truck pull up. Geoff was extremely polite, and understanding all while quickly getting my car hooked up and towed to a nearby mechanic. Being a young woman in the Carlsbad/Oceanside area makes me skeptical of any male coming to "help" but again, Geoff was so polite and helped put me at ease. He did his job, and moved on, which is the most important to me! Hopefully i won't have to use their services again anytime soon, but I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs roadside help!!
