My kid got into an accident on Miramar Rd on a Friday, made the mistake of calling the closest tow company. They charged us $300 for a 4 mile tow. They are closed on the weekend, so you have to choose between $120 weekend pick up. Picked it up 1st thing Monday. Charged us $260 storage plus $70 lien fee. Total for a 4 mile tow $630.00

I needed my project car towed from my old place to my new place. I gave Eastgate a call and explained my situation. They had a tow truck out to me in less than an hour and were able to get my car safely into my new garage.

Car was towed Saturday - completely my fault and that's not what the 1 star review is for. On Sunday morning i called and spoke with someone about getting the car back. The employee told me that the paperwork was in the office and would be locked up until the office opened Monday morning at 8am. When i picked up the car this morning (Monday) is cost $380. The employee said i could have picked it up on Sunday. The paperwork was just w/ the tow truck driver. The employee i called Sunday lied to me. I should get some $ refunded and will be following up until i do.

I needed my mustang towed because I believe I may need a new battery. Eliot showed up pretty promptly and put my car on the tow (I would have preferred a flat bed, but totally trusted him.) I am very particular about my beloved mustang. He was so courteous, friendly and assured me he would take care of my car. On a side note, they had come out on Saturday and jumped my battery but it didn't start on Sunday. Click click click. I'm hoping it is just the battery. Overall, great experience with both service calls.

If I could give this place 0 STARS I WOULD. The owner of the tow company "Mike" was very uncooperative and difficult. He even called the police department in another room so we wouldn't hear the conversation in which he continued to LIE about which documents I had to release my car from tow. The most unpleasant and unprofessional experience in my adult life. I would NEVER recommend any one to use this service.

Where is the 0 stars option?? Because this place deserves less then that! One of my junior sailors vehicle was towed from MCAS Miramar for expired registration (which we completely understand was this sailors responsibility). The owner of the tow company "Mike" lied to the Miramar Marine DOD police officers saying we didn't have any documentation for the updated registration. When I spoke to the officer on the phone while standing in the tow office he said that Mike said something completely different on the phone. Long story short I had to come out of character and call this man

Eastgate picked up my car but didn't deliver it and it became lost for two days. They had no idea where it was, then all of sudden it was at the destination. When I asked where it has been for those two days, the guy from dispatch said it was in the parking lot next to the destination, but I was there to look for it the day before it arrived thinking that's what happened and didn't find it anywhere. I don't understand how this could have happened on a four mile tow.

Apparently I have had the worst luck with my car moving to San Diego bc of all the construction. 5 flat tires in less than a year which has left me stranded all over a city in new too.
I just ran over a construction piece of metal and my tire popped while driving. I was incredibly frustrated since every tow truck that has helped Me previously has taken at least 2 hours to come "rescue" me and my car. Also, majority of time they aren't very friendly and are there to just grab my car but who can blame them. I don't expect a best friend out of the experience.
Today was DIFFERENT

I have upgraded my rating from 1 to 3 stars. It's not that I'm happy with what occurred, but I did receive a refund from a gentleman at Eastgate, who was not unreasonable to deal with. However, I had hoped that they would have worked with my insurance company and reimbursed my $300 deductible. It's their position that they did not cause the damage. It's my position that they probably did, as it's a pretty new car. Regardless, there was some resolution and I will give them credit for working with me on this issue.

Definantely not reasonably priced. They charged me $200 for a 6 mile tow + $95 for needing a dolly. The day rate is $50. They do not abide by the law that states you have the right to pick up your car 24 hours a day 7 days a week despite having a $95 option for this. When I called saying I was there they have me excuses about no one being in the office and said I had to go back the next day. When the police officer asked they said it was a paperwork issue which was a lie because they told me the only paperwork needed was my license to prove I am the registered driver. In addition, they do not abide

These guys are shady!
My daughter was in a fender-bender on Miramar and an Eastgate truck happened to be across the road. The driver swings around and begins hooking up her car for a tow. The driver starts TELLING my daughter (she's a High School student, was obviously frazzled and not experienced in auto accident procedures) that he's taking her car to his yard, she protests and asks that he wait 5 minutes for her Dad to arrive (or at least call her Dad), but the driver DECIDES what's going to happen.

Towing business is one of the ugliest businesses around , just like automotive repair and sales , it has its own drawbacks , bottom line, it is a tough business to be in and can't make everyone happy...
I have been on Miramar for over 15 years , I had my own automotive repair shop and I had to deal with a lot of towing companies but East Gate towing is one of the most respected companies that I have dealt with.
East gate towing has been in business for over 25 years that I know of , this business was found by two Brothers Mike and Sam , they are very professional and generous to deal with

I contracted with Eastgate to arrive at my house at 7:00 am this morning - I actually had a face to face meeting with the driver yesterday afternoon at 4:40. The last thing we did, after agreeing on the pick up time this morning, was shake hands, and he told me he would see me at 7:00 am today.
It is now 7:50 am - No driver, no truck!! I called their dispatch at 7:25 am, and the dispatch said he would find out what was going on and call back. He did not call back - I had to call Eastgate again. The same dispatcher, who showed no apathy or caring whatsoever, agreed to send a new driver over

On Thursday, April 30th at 10:15 a.m. I was driving back from a work meeting on the 805 north when traffic came to a dead stop just south of Governor Drive. An open-bed tractor trailer loaded with dirt/gravel/junk had burst a giant tire, and the road was littered with large tire pieces and debris.
An Eastgate tow truck pulled up and the driver flashed his lights, stepped out on the freeway and set to work clearing debris from the middle lanes. Obviously his tow truck wasn't going to tow the giant tractor trailer, but he was just being a good Samaritan helping to clear the road.
