If I could give this company a negative star rating, ideally, that would be an accurate representation of the deplorable customer service and overall business operations within Pat's Towing.

After attempting to speak to an owner or manager for (5) consecutive days, I was continuously informed by the "dispatcher" that neither were available (despite being informed of their personal "weekly working hours").

Despite my numerous attempts to address a variety of questions regarding their invoices, consumer violation's, and an update of the damages incrued to my car during

Since the business owner responded, I'd like to update my comment further and give anyone else unfortunate enough to run into these men more details.

Background:
- Car belonged to my mother (later sold for 25k)
- My mother unexpectedly and suddenly passed away a week and a half before the car was towed and unfortunately the title to the car was only in her name (relevant later)

Events the night of:

1. (8PM) After I get home from work I realize around 8pm that my mother's car is missing. I call the police department and they tell me that Pat's probably has it.

2. (8PM - 12AM)

I understand that it was my fault that my car was towed, fine, whatever. But when I called they told me that my car didn't have any plates on it?? Went on a wild goose chase only to find out 2 1/2 hours later that the plates were STILL ON THE GD CAR. How on earth do you get that wrong?? I called them twice confirming it. I missed a bunch of work trying to sort this out. MUCH easier and quicker at other places.

While in the office things were fine, but I ended up waiting over an hour in the lot to get my car and get out. After 30 minutes of waiting in the lot, I tried to call the office for

Worst towing company ever. Staff at the facility is rude and very unprofessional. Our car was towed illegally from our apartment parking lot although we had proper permit tagged in the car. When questioned, one of their staff made disgraceful comments at us based on our ethnicity. We lost our money, time and now one of their staff is attacking verbally at us for our ethnical origin.

Falsely advertises 24 hour service. If you are a resident of a city that contracts with this company, ask your representatives to audit this contract.

Predators. Beware. Do not support Target- they are getting a cut. If you ever shopped and spent cash at Target and then stretched your legs for 5 minutes during which time your vehicle was towed/stolen and held ransom, you will be well advised to never cross into Somerville again.

HORRIBLE PLACE! All the "man" at the front desk cares about is when his next meal is! Neglected to tell us where our car actually was and charged us a ridiculous amount of money for no reason and then continue to lie. Losers!!!! Do not use this company!!! They were absolutely insufferable.

Absolutely horrendous group of people running this company. Went to twin city plaza to buy some groceries.
Came back after half an hour with shopping cart with full of stuffs, and i saw my car was gone.
I called the company, and he said that his tow truck driver saw me leaving the property. LIAR.....i just went back of the parking lot to smoke a cigarette and came back do my shopping. So looks like these guys wait for you to leave your car, tow it and demand 140 dollars. I am never shopping at the twin city plaza again.
I mentioned it to clerk at the pats tow front desk, that I have a valid receipt

Only giving one star because I have to, in order to write this review. So my car was towed in a designated parking lot for the building I was in with no warning signs. After a four exam I come out with my car gone, nowhere to be found. So I had to Uber my way over there.

TL;DR. Staff was mostly fine. Don't know what I did to get towed. Still don't know how to appeal the charge.

Bit of a rough experience. Not sure why my car was towed as I didn't exceed the time limit or leave the premises, though, to be fair, all stores were closed by the time I went to leave. The gentlemen attending the desk couldn't let me know why I was towed either for whatever reason. He was curt, but not mean. Probably just got all kinda folks in there and he probably wasn't in the mood to answer my questions. He let me know I could appeal by talking to a manager

My car was recently towed in Cambridge for being parked in a parking permit spot only, which I am totally fine with. What I am not okay with is that one of my tires was severely damaged, causing me to spin out on I93 North and put myself and other drivers around me in a very dangerous situation at a high velocity. Also, after I was towed I had some kind of yellow oil leaking from my car and my check engine light turned on the whole time. It seems that on top of me almost getting into a serious accident when my tire blew out, that my oil panel was damaged as well when they were in the process of

Just an update . Tom did EXACTLY as he said he would. I took my receipt down to Pats Towing and he reviewed it and was able to give me a refund!! He was professional about the entire process & I am happy with the outcome.

Although they may have a few bad apples in the bunch ....Tom really helped me out!!

I would suggest anyone to speak with Tom if they are having an issue with a tow when it comes to Pats.

Thanks Tom!!

The owners should be ashamed of this "business". It should be called Pat's Scammer's or something along those lines.

For example: they watch the parking outside of our apartment and tow any car that is a minute over the "limit". They're supposed to check with staff inside prior to doing so, but they don't.


Warning to apartments and management companies: DO NOT hire Pat's if you want to retain residents. Pat's is in trouble, financially speaking, so making a quick buck is more important to them than running a professional business.

In general, the employees at Pat's Towing are incredibly aggressive and horrible to converse with. After requesting proof of viable towing, ie pictures etc, I was attacked over the phone and told "I dare you to write a bad review or bring us to court."

I'm usually not one for writing Yelp reviews but felt it was necessary to share after that statement. I would highly reconsider hiring Pat's Towing for any need as they are completely unprofessional.

Given that response, the man who works the front desk most times is very helpful and calm. Even in the face of frustrated

Towed my car illegally. As I got to my car in the tow yard I could clearly see my parking sticker displayed. Conveniently their response was "well the driver said he didn't see it".
