Unprofessional, bad customer service, damage my vehicle and claim that they have no idea how it happen. Also they dont have an actual business office. They were doing some type of work orientation for new hires I believe DSS security in the same space were I was making contact to get my car out. Just Unprofessional no wonder they have bad reviews couldnt even tell who was staff or the new hires.

Was parked casually at GB3 north. My Camry is a 2010 and has been bought off the lot and paid for since 2014. He pulled up to my car and IMMEDIATELY tried to hook it up with me in it. I came out the car and asked why? He said “repossession”. I said that’s not right or even possible so where is the paperwork? What bank asked you to do so? And only let me my car back when I threatened to call the cops. SUCH A SCAM! same thing happened to a friend a few months ago. Currently filling a police report and filling a formal complaint to the city to shut this place down after reading these reviews. THANK YOU FOR THE HONESTY

If I could give negative stars I would. Anyone who gives this place a positive review for this towing company is obviously friends with the business owner or a simpleton. Absolute trash services -- they tow your car illegally from your apartment complex and do not release your vehicle when you try to stop them.

Horrible! This place prowls on my apartment complex and tows cars when the owner is just running inside for a quick second not only that but they towed my brothers car from an actual guest spot and the driver rushed out so fast he clipped my husbands knee while leaving! When my husband called to let him know he was hit by their driver they laughed and hung up the phone. Hope they like the police report against them, its not the first time theyve done something illegal in these apartments they towed a car with a little girl in it when the mom stepped out to open her garage!

Complete scam. This is a predatory business. Avoid them. Your soul will be cleaner for it.Reading the reviews, anyone giving this place above one star is clearly a friend of the owner, paid to do it, or an employee.Use another Tow Service in Fresno. Theres plenty of good services available, with better, more legal business practices. Not predatory like this business.I understand how this business stays open and thats what makes it worse. They also run a shady predatory security company.

They wrongfully tow cars just to make profit. I’ve lived 20+ years in my complex and they arrive at private property to tow my car . I call and call and they say that I can’t pick up until next business day. Came in to pay ( have no other choice) and asked to see my car for damages and they refused because I had to pay for it first. The guy towing the cars doesn’t live in my complex and they park there wasted my time and money !

I seen on TV that this Towing company towed a 5 year old child inside.. well I live at arbor place apartments another location that this towing company tows illegally parked cars. I seen and have video of them just pulling up taking the car before even securing it down to there tow truck and driving a few blocks away to finally secure it. This is because if you come out while there in process of getting your car then by law they have to release it on spot. Which means they dont get there money. So no wonder they towed it with a child inside!!

They towed my vehicle recently and there was items missing from my car when I went to pick it back up. The service is trash they will hang up on you when you call to get information about your vehicle. Make sure you check your whole car when you get it back they went through all my stuff !

Review №28

I highly recommend working with this company for a couple reasons. You give them all your money so they have fatter paychecks. They mess up your car when they tow it away so you have to file a claim with your insurance company. Last but not least, they are so friendly they keep a glass barrier between you and them so you dont reach over the counter and strangle them. This company literally does not mess around when it comes to stealing peoples cars. The best part about all of it is they dont have an insurance company they go through, they go through their own office. That way if there seriously something wrong with your car they dont actually have to pay you much. Game days at the Fresno State College campus is their favorite day to come around taking cars. So please dont make the same mistake as I did and park somewhere between two cars so they cant take all of your money. To the company, thank you so much for your wonderful service. I hope you take my $400 and seriously spoil yourselves.

Review №29

This tow company seems to be illegally towing vehicles and milking customers. This is a crime. They towed my vehicle 10 feet away from me where no signs are posted, while visiting a guest. It looks as this tow truck company is towing vehicles illegally from private properties. If there was no No Parking Towing Zone sign and the contact information for the towing company is not posted in the private property, its an illegal tow. In addition, property owner or authorized representative must authorize the towing, and the vehicle needs to be parked for more than an hour in order to be towed. Please review California code SB 2210. If you believe your car was illegally towed, I would like to speak with you. Please contact me: cdomino at hotmail. The more people we have, the better.

Review №30

Towed my car last year because I didnt have a sticker, only for them to reimburse me because of their mistake not taking 5 seconds to look. Recently was towed again for double parking in an empty lot on a weekend lol. This place is a joke, not to mention they charge more than Califronia law allows. If youre at an area serviced by WCT, triple check all the signs and area because they will try to f* you over.

Review №33

What kind of 2 bit, grinch service do you run? You have the most horrible customer service that hung up on us 3 times tonight after you towed our car ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT from a parking stall, that you entered private property to get to, and then tell us it will cost $500 to deliver it back. You are garbage. If this was at the drivers discretion, then you sir, deserve the worst of what is coming to you. Enjoy the karma infestation that I hope attacks your genitals in the coming weeks. If this comes under the direction of a supervisor/manager, I hope your business folds, you have to file bankruptcy, and you enjoy the years of work in the fast food industry ahead of you. Sincerely, someone you robbed on Christmas.

Review №34

If I can give this no star, I would. They towed my car because they thought I didnt have a parking permit. I woke up Thursday morning for my OB appointment to find my car was gone. I explained that my pass was placed properly and for them to check again. They hung up on me and made excuses why I was hung up on. Complained to my apartment complex and they resolved it for me. I had to get a taxi to get my car back. They didnt apologize for towing my car with the permit placed properly. this company is horrible!

This company is horrible! They drive around looking for cars to tow to extort money out of people. They towed my car on CHRISTMAS DAY from my grandmothers condo parking lot that shes lived in for 25 years. I was stranded with my 1 year old and 5 year old, no car, and no carseats. When I called they said I was either stranded till the morning or they would charge $505 to bring it back now. They are horrible people.

They tagged my car and took it the same day. Thats illegal. I am also contacting Fresno Bee to expose this illegal racket west coast towing is running.They have to give 96 hours notice before taking it. I have witnesses including the security guard of my complex saying there was no tow tag on it. These people are just stealing cars and extorting people! When i went down there and told them they towed it illegally they laughed and said the only way i was getting my car was if i paid them almost $300! Then they gave me the wrong paperwork!!!

Review №39

I was advised by Regency Property management to contact this company because I was repeatedly getting notes placed on the area i would park in. There isnt anyone available onsite to speak with and most of the condos are individually owned. I spoke with a few tenents who rent through regency property management and decided to give them a call about the parking. Apparently they previously managed the unit Im in before my current landlord took ownership. They advised me that my parking stall was A16 for my unit and told me to contact the towing company with this information. When contacting the towing company the guy who answered repeatedly cut me off and stated that he cant take my word and that if the other tenent has proof my car will get towed if regency doesnt contact them. Im making this review basically for documentation of this event in case my car gets towed even after they were advised of my issue.

Review №42

Very unprofessional! You would think they would know not to enter a vehicle without a key and especially not to tow an expensive vehicle with a regular truck. Manager lied about driver entering vehicle as the window pilar remains broken from the rubber shim. Scuff marks to prove the force yet the yard denies any entry. They will pay! Avoid at all costs. The person in charge at Tower Theater is an idiot for working with them as preferred tow yard. He needs to link up with a company that actually knows what they are doing and better reputation.

The guy that answered the phone was rude and gave me incorrect information about towing from my apartment complex.

Review №45

Worst people and practices. This is what gives capitalism a bad name.They basically run a security service and tow business so they can tow people at 3am in the morning (because they own the security company and then the security guard calls them to tow) . Complete wastes of oxygen, these people.They will also deny you entry to your own property. You have a legal right to the property inside of your vehicle, and they will deny you access to this. If they attempt to do this, please contact Fresno PD and report them for Conversion of Property (theft) They have no legal right to do so. They must legally give you access to your property, supervised if they so choose.They also damaged my driver side door. They have a sleazy disclaimer saying theyre not responsible for damages they cause. This is how they do business. Dont sign the paperwork. They cant legally force you to accept that disclaimer. Take legal action, theyll have no recourse and they know it.This is the lowest of low in the business community. The owner clearly has no other skills and only seeks to scam people. This is the type of business that exists in the realm of pyramid schemes, debt consolidation scammers, etc.....people that couldnt learn a life skill so they took family money to start a business to steal from people.

Review №46

Awful. Low hanging fruit type of business. Scammers and predators.They probably view these types of statements as compliments and take joy in the sheer volume of 1 star reviews they receive. Im sure it makes them proud.They literally exist to prey on people or else they wouldnt wait until 3am to tow people.The owner hides in the back like a coward while his workers take the brunt of peoples frustrations. Hell walk right by you and stare at the ground and when you raise legal concerns over their operations he just hides in the back. Not a real man by any means. A spineless coward who started a scam to steal from people because thats the type of human being he is.

The epitome of unprofessional!!! Very bad experience with this business. They need to elicit the help of someone who can reach them the basics of customer service. The guy who answered was berating, beligerent and hung up on me as I tried to get details of how to get my car. He did however, made sure to quickly state I needed an appointment to get the car before hanging up though. Simply because youre in the business to take away, does not mean its necessary to be a complete as a@@. They proudly post, We towed you once. Well tow you again. What a joke!!! Ive lost the respect of Campus Edge Fresno for even doing business with them.

This company is a scam. My friend parked at in front of my apartment to load something in his car. He was only there for 10 minutes tops and when he came out the tow truck was there. Turns out the driver was just going around looking for cars to tow because nobody called him. This is what the driver told my friend. Just looking for cars to tow like a real jerk.

Review №52

Vehicle section 22658 (g) (1) (b) Fail to comply is a misdemeanor. If You Catch the Tow in Action: If you are able to catch the tow truck driver after he or she has hitched your vehicle to the truck, but the truck is not yet on a public road, the tow truck driver is required to release your vehicle upon request. At that point, the tow truck driver is entitled to require that you pay at most half of his or her normal towing fee. Know what laws you are breaking (Under AB 2210) they are not accredited with bbb so doesnt matter. Department of consumer affairs and small claims courts is the only option. Law always wins

My mother is handicap and parked her vehicle in handi cap stall. She relized she didnt have her placard. So she moved her car to a regular parking stall. Turns out the tow truck had taken picture of her car while towing another vehicle. He left and came back 45 min later. Saw my moms car parked in regular stall and still towed it. We have 5 witnesses who saw and tried to stop tow truck. Including manager of complex. Contacted tow company manager and he states that witness statement isnt enough. And wants us to pay tow fees. This company is trying to run a scam by towing cars illegally.

This is the scumbag owner Jeff who was called in because I asked his staff to see their County Business License which he refuses to post. He has a chop chop in the back and gang banger appearance. Claims he may have cancer. This low life SCUM has contracted with Turner Security and had signs made up that he will enforce the 22658.2 giving him SOUL no bid towing business for private property mostly homeowners association. I have been an owner for over 11 years and left my car out in front of my home in a designated parking, but we are not to leave our cars out all night and it was taken from my home at 5:30 a.m. in the morning. These laws are not enforceable as the call was suppose to come from a Property Owner not Turner Security. Jeff Scumbag only wanted cash and since he had to come in off of what he called his Death bed he said dont give them a discount Well Jeff Scumbag i have photos of all those signs you have made up with West Coast Towing having the soul rights to towing......ever hear of unfair business practices illegal confisication of goods without a court order These people are scum and only want to suck money out of homeowners they perceive as making good money while these poor bastard tow drivers get $10.00 an hour.
