There is no professionalism in this place of business. It’s ran by thieves. I will be leaving another complaint on Better Business Bureau. If you’re dealing with this company you will regret it. Just look at the other reviews.

These guys have no clue how to run a business, Every time I've called them it's just been lies of why they haven't come out and put signs up, If you're looking for a towing company to protect your land or business I suggest not calling these guys at all

Towed my car then proceeded to break in and open my car. Put a dent in the top of my passenger door so now when I drive it sounds like my doors open and even worst when it rains water seeps through. Please do not trust them with your car. Called very unprofessional and wouldn’t help me.

They come and tow cars illegally. Then change the price when time to pick up. Extremely unprofessional, the guy on the phone super rude and the guy you pay is even worse. Asked for business ID and they claim not to have one. I will Be filing report with the city to have this company looked into.

Any signs were barely visible; small and hidden. Towed my friend’s car after we stopped to run into a bathroom for 10 minutes. I am on crutches and needed my friend's assistance and obviously am slower while walking at the moment. When we returned, the car was towed, horrible customer service over phone and in person. By the time we took an uber to their lot, no one was even there to help us and we had to wait (I had to stand - on crutches) for 15 minutes. In this time, the price increased. They were dropping cars off in the lot extremely fast and running back out to get more. There was another

I was rightfully towed(no question about that), but this business engages in shady practices(no receipts, cash only, changing prices on the spot). Absolutely ridiculous, much less their employees are rude. I will be informing the Better business beareu of their practices.

Thieves charged me $215 to recover my car, they towed it because I parked on a wrong spot.

At first I was mad they towed my car, my fault of course .. but the front desk guy ended up being super helpful and nice when I got my keys locked in, and was super patient too! Hopefully won’t lose my keys or get towed again, but overall he made a bad experience a not so bad one.

Very professional, fast and efficient dispatch. Twice I needed to have a car removed from my assigned condo parking space. The tow-truck driver was polite, courteous and called me when the job was quickly done. I would definitely recommend them.

The typical predatory tow truck company. Towed someone's car from my complex that had plenty of extra parking. The rates this company charge are criminal, as well.

Total scumbag operation! We showed up to pick our car up at 1:30am after it had been towed. We were told it was $175 to get it out and payment is cash only. The ATM onsite didn't work and they suggested that we walk a mile through the sketchy neighborhood at 1:30am to get cash. They said it would be the same price if we picked it up in the morning so we just left,

We came back in the morning to pick up our car and we ended up waiting an hour because our car was blocked in and they didn't have a driver to move the parked cars. When the driver finally got there, they forced us to

Never used them and never will. I've had similar issues with their drivers on the same road. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the same driver. Flicked me off but didn't have the balls to try with me what he did with the other guy. Rude and apparently ignorant company. With so many other competitors, go elsewhere!!!

Not cool to hire rude employees. What kind of company hires someone who drives recklessly and shouts obscenities? Not a respectable company, that's for sure. I wouldn't trust this company with my worst enemies car, let alone trust this driver on the streets REPRESENTING YOUR COMPANY. Here's hoping they're smart enough to require that employee to APOLOGIZE to the person they cut off/yelled at/flipped the bird at before this blows up all over the Internet and this company goes out of business. (But judging by the reviews, it looks like no one would miss this company if it did

Wish I could give a 0 star. This piece of trash started towing my car WHILE I WAS STANDING NEXT TO THE CAR. I was trying to load some items into my car and he tried to quickly back in his truck and take my car while I was carrying things... in spite of me telling him I would move the car. Then he held my car there until I could go get cash for him to put it back down.

There aren't enough four letter words in the English language for me to convey what a low life this guy was. I hope he - and his scummy company - get what's coming to them from the BBB.
