This is my go-to for towing! I didn't have AAA, and needed a quick tow so that I could get to work vs spend hours waiting for a tow. Chris hooked me up. He was totally communicative about when he'd get there and was a total professional. He also recommended an honest mechanic to fix the problem.

These guys saved the day for me today! This morning the battery died on my motorcycle and I had no one around to help me jump it. I figured I would have to get a new battery or worst case if jumping it failed, have it towed to see if something else was the problem. I found these guys and they came out and helped me jump the battery and I was able to get it running safely to the shop. They were professional, friendly and fast! I remember back in the day when I had AAA and I would have to wait forever and ever on hold and then wait forever and ever for a driver to arrive. No thanks. I'll be

Thank you tinker towing! This company saved me when I was in a bad spot. My car died and they found me very quickly. They were kind, professional, and fast. I did not feel like they were trying to swindle me out of money - very reasonably priced.

Being incredibly stressed Chris the driver reassured me everything was going to be okay. Saving their number in case of any future emergencies!

Phew, thanks Tinker Towing! I was so stressed when my car broke down and was panicking at first. They let me know how long it would take, and I instantly relaxed. They arrived quickly and brought my car to a nearby shop.

I really appreciated how they changed this to a stress-free situation so quickly. It was worth every penny!

My car got a flat tire and I was dreading having to deal with a towing company, but Chris and Tinker Towing were super helpful and made the process stress-free! When I first called them, Chris answered and was very friendly and accommodating. He kept me posted on his ETA and talked me through every step of the way.
He was able to fix my tire and get me back on the road within an hour or so. While I waited, Tinker's had complimentary water and coffee and snacks. It was great!

I would highly recommend this towing service to anyone in a pickle or stuck. Chris and the gang are great & the

I recently moved to the area from Florida and ended up needed help towing my car to a safe location. Chris was great help and extremely attentive. He made sure that the process was smooth and easy. I definitely recommend Tinker Towing to anyone who needs help moving their car. They have a great friendly staff and they do a great job at making sure your car is taken care of! Great experience over all.

5 stars to Tinker Towing! my car died and in minutes a truck was there to take me and my car to a nearby shop. the driver Chris was very friendly and professional during a very stressful time for me. I never thought I would be giving a review for a tow company but the experience I had with them made me inclined to share my experience.

also was very affordable!

Great service, when I needed a tow, Chris really came through for me. He was helpful and got me taken care of in a quick and professional manner.

They made all of the paperwork a breeze and answered any of my questions. I would recommend having their number on hand for easy service around the Portland metropolitan area.

These folks were a blessing. I used to have AAA so I've never had to use a tow truck company before. I found Tinker through word of mouth and I'm so glad I followed through one day.

My car has problems with the ignition and it just wouldn't start this time around and it was midnight. Dave came and picked me and my car up and dropped me off at my house. They were even nice enough to help me tow the car the next day to the dealer.

5 Stars!

I was really impressed with their service. I had been traveling abroad and came back to PDX to find my car not turning over (not a battery problem, I checked). Since I didn't have AAA i was adamant about finding a reliable and affordable tow. The driver, I want to say his name was Chris, showed up promptly and we were on our way.

Friendly service and it is great they are available 24/7 since I needed help late at night. Recommended!!

Tinker towing was so helpful when my car broke down! They were super quick and knowledgeable! I called them and less than 15 minutes Dave arrived to help. Other towing companies in Portland don't have the type of service that tinker towing has. Hopefully I won't have car trouble again, but if I do I'm definitely calling them!

Tinker Towing was fast and very helpful. I have 4 kids and our car is broke down. Its 31 degrees outside and our heater is broken. I called Tinker Towing and was told they would be there in an hour. Chris came to our rescue in just 25 minutes! He was such a nice man and worked fast to get the car squared away.

Unfortunately there was not enough room in the truck for all of us and so we had to wait for ny husband to get there to transport the kids safely. The tow truck driver amazed me when he offered to wait and insisted that me and the children all pile up in his truck and he would wait outside

Tinker towing really knows how to ease a stressful situation. After my car broke down I called tinker towing frantic about how much a tow was going to cost, how i was going to get to work, what was wrong with my car and how much it would cost me to fix. Dave really helped to ease me through the whole process and left me feeling a little less overwhelmed after the service. I would definitely recommend for all of your towing needs.

Great experience using Tinker Towing! Dave was the driver who loaded my car and eased a stressful situation after breaking down on the freeway. Both the pickup time and loading were quick. Dave was really helpful and made me feel my car was in good hands. If you need a towing I highly suggest calling them!

My day was off to a horrendous start - I curbed a flat tire by spinning a u-turn on my way to a catering gig - without a spare or proper tools. I was in the sticks, in a part of town where no businesses or residences could offer any help... I frantically yelped my area code, thankfully discovering Tinker Towing! After calling and moaning about my need to be at work as soon as possible, Dave (the owner!) personally rushed over. The roadside assistance was professionally spot-on. I got to work about 30 minutes late which would have been up to 2 hours had I gone with anyone else. Obviously,

Can't say enough about Tinker and their guys--my car stalled at the worst possible place and he showed up right on time with a great attitude and got my car hoisted up and hauled away quickly and safely. God forbid I have to get towed again in the future, but I'm calling Tinker when I do.

Too often I've had bad experiences with tow companies but not this time. These guys were fast, friendly and didn't charge me an arm and a leg. Will definitely be calling them if I'm ever in another jam.
