Sometimes it's just something that you put off, and other times it's something that happens unexpectedly. You could be driving along without a care in the world when suddenly you hit something and one corner of the car goes down a bit. Uh oh.it's a flat tire.
This is not a problem if you have no place to be urgently, if you know what you're doing if you don't care how dirty you might get on the road underneath your car, and if you aren't concerned with safety.But since usually at least one of these things is an issue, you might want to consider calling a professional at this moment.

Like it or not, sometimes car batteries give in, and you never quite notice them until they start acting up. We all know there is a car battery somewhere under the hood, we all assume we know what it does, and we all remain absolutely helpless when our car battery suddenly decides to go the way of the Dodo.
Usually, when car trouble hits, it hits at exactly the wrong time. You may be on your way to the airport for a holiday vacation and your car battery dies. You may be in the middle of a road trip when the brakes start acting up. Or you may be about to get in the car for the final callbacks for that amazing acting gig you've been waiting for, and your car key breaks off in the ignition.

We perform our services with the cooperation of an independently owned and licensed tow truck operators. Our techs are highly professional and are using state of the art equipment.

Tow was timely and reasonably priced. No issues with the service.
However they have berated me with text messages ever since using them, asking to post a review and receive a $10 Amazon gift card. There is no way to opt out of the messages and the number they text from doesn't receive calls back. This is very annoying and I would like them to stop, hence this review.

Service provider was professional, speedy, and made the overall experience painless. $155 did seem a little pricy but then again I have no base idea of what the cost should be for a car towed a few miles, that being said I would still rate the company a 4.5 out 5 stars overall for their professionalism and sincere care of their customers experience.

I had a terrible experience with this company.
I'm out of town and have a friend staying at my place + using my car while I'm away. She left a light on one night, and well, long story short I need a new battery.
I called EB Towing to come replace my battery. I explained how I was out of town, and confirmed I could pay over the phone. I gave them my CC information, confirmed that they'd be calling/meeting my friend on-site. They said they'd be there in 45 minutes.
Instead of calling my friend how we arranged, an hour later the guy calls me 3 times (I was in the shower).

Called for lock out service in a very time sensitive moment. Waited 2 hours for the very kind driver to show up with ticket for a tow truck and no lock out tools. He left and said he would be back in 15 minutes. Waited another 20, called and checked in- was told there would be another 40 minute wait. The technician was very sweet and also unfortunately not wearing a mask. I cancelled my service and called another business to help me.

Fraud. Lee the manager flat out lied about what services the driver provided. He claimed the driver lowered my vehicle and reloaded it, thus doubling the $280 price to $570. My girlfriend watched the entire time and this didn't happen. Lee told me to not worry and just submit it to my auto insurance. I plan to notify the authorities about attempted insurance fraud. He has been evasive and rude every time I've tried to call to get more information. The few times I have talked to him the pricing explanation seems to change in a feeble attempt to explain why the bill was so high.

I got a flat and called around to tow truck companies untill I found one that had a driver immediately available. After waiting 30min I called and asked the ETA and was told they were 30min away. I let them know I was told they had a driver immediately available, not an hour out. They decided to give me the run around and explain to me that no one is available, and if I wanted to cancel it was fine they would just charge me. I told them that my agreement was conditional upon them showing up in a timely manner.
I would not have agreed to be towed by them had a one hour time frame been quoted.

This company is a scam.
Needed a jump. They told me it would be $49 to come out and around $30 for labor. It might increase if they had to go thru multiple attempts to start the car. They gave me an ETA of 30 - 45 minutes.
After waiting an hour and a half with no updates, I called and they said it would be an extra hour. I asked if I could cancel the request because this meant they wouldn't show up until after midnight. Their rep then said I would be charged a $49 cancellation fee. No one mentioned a cancellation fee when I made the request. All he could say was "Sorry".

Absolutely untrustworthy and they lied about how much it would cost! Stay away!
I needed to be towed 2 miles from my house to the dealership. It was a straightforward job - no special tools needed. Before I agreed, I asked what the total would be. They said $45 for 'hook-up' fee (non refundable, if I canceled) plus $50(min)-80(max). Those were their exact words. So total it would have been $45+50 = $95 (min) and up to $45+$80 = $125 max.
The tow truck driver charged me $165! As soon as he said the total I disagreed with him. He even pulled up a text message that he got from the towing

Initial ETA they gave me was 45 min. but I had to wait about 2 and half hours before the towing truck finally arrived (after having to call 4 times to check upon the ETA)...kept telling me to be patient that the driver would be here in ten min LOL. The lady on the phone was relatively nice...I guess it's mostly the driver's fault.
Ended up not needing towing as the driver was able to jump start my car. But he charged me 145 just to jump start loool after making me wait almost 3 hours... What a joke.
