Great customer service, I didnt have to wait long, Tristan was very pleasant, great attitude! Definitely recommend them .
The drivers charge different rates than the one stipulated by the owner and dont give you a receipt after you pay so that theres no way you can prove to the owner what they are doing and also if they tow you at night or on a weekend they dont answer the phone so that you have to leave your car longer on their place and then charge you more.
These guys were super friendly and answered every time. I would recommend them to everyone. They treated my vehicle like it was their own.
Best towing company out there! I dont understand all of the negative reviews. This is a company that definitely can be trusted!
Nic property, cute cats outside. ProfessionalAnd fast
Used them several times for towing and always had very courteous drivers. Would highly recommend their towing service.
My son swerved to miss a deer and got a flat. While swapping the spare the lug tool broke so we needed a tow, the dispatcher had someone there within 20 mins if that. Guy was quick, offered to drop the car for us at the shop since we couldn’t get the locked lug off.Would use again if we have too, hopefully my kid learned. Also, buying a better grade lug key because that metal was garbage....
These drivers are the worst a driver threw a card at me and ran over my foot after they STOLE my car for parking on private property at my own house .
Liars and thieves, towed a vehicle from Villiage Knoll Apartments because they had a complaint of illegal parking. It shares the same parking spot with my motorcycle that was approved by apartment management. then it was for a expired inspection sticker. they denied they took it until the apartment manager called.according to their paperwork, complaint came in at 850am, they dispatched at 851am arrived on scene at 852. Fastest towing service in the world. covered 2.6 miles in 1 minute.$200 cash, Hookers are cheaper than that, Apartment management has been notified that we will be going to court. She has no problem testifying in court. Beware of M.A.R.S business practices
I was in a real rough spot with a trailer stuck on the side of a major interstate. I called Mars in hopes of finding some help and a friendly voice. Immediately I could tell the receptionist was annoyed that my service need was not the norm. In fact I was referred to another company before we truley discussed my request. 5 stars for the process and 5 stars for the actual driver. I was charged double the norm but the receptionist and her attitude is the reason for the 3 star review. If you dont enjoy helping people in need maybe your in the wrong position.
Quick service, excellent communication, wonderful to work with. Even repaired our car at their shop quickly and reasonably. Wonderful experience!
You are the worst towing company around Harrisburg and I will be fling suit against you.
This is a horrible establishment with terrible customer service. Should NOT be in business anymore.
I have used this company twice to tow my work van and both times I was pleased with the service I received.The receptionist was courteous and upfront with their payment terms and conditions along with providing me an approximate time of arrival (which in both cases they were prompt).The drivers seemed knowledgeable and professional in their towing abilities and my second driver (John) checked everything twice to ensure that he delivered my vehicle safely to where it was going.I would certainly recommend and use them again.
I can’t believe these bad reviews! The receptionist on the phone was thee NICEST woman. And the driver, Keane, who came to get my car was so kind and helpful. Hands down the best towing company I’ve worked with besides h&s. I Needed my car towed to Volvo dealership because I completely lost my car keys. No other company was able to work with me due to time and my situation. It was a little pricey but it was reasonable considering that my car was locked so they had to move my car on skates. I was so stressed out and they made my whole day so much better.
The worst. One of the workers forcibly took my car and fled with my car and treated me very badly. All for money. But God will take care.
Dont typically write reviews but after reading some I decided to share the great experience I had last evening. Long story short I was unable to fix the issues roadside and decided to contact insurance company for a tow. These guys were available and showed up well within the quoted time. The driver was professional and polite. Thanks to this company my car was moved safely and properly to my residence so I could finish repair safely.
I hired MARS to pick up a truck I purchased and requested a flatbed because the truck had been sitting for some time. Long story short they pulled up with my truck on a hook. They had to pull the driveshaft and in doing so damaged the yoke on the rear and dropped one of the ujoint caps on the ground and the needles fell out. They said something from the road must have caused it. I text them that I was not pleased and asked that someone return and put my driveshaft in with a new ujoint but I have not heard back since they dropped my truck off and left the driveshaft hanging under the truck. If they had sent the flatbed as I requested this would have never happened and if they had tried to resolve the issue I would have never written this review
Top notch towing service, service garage and inspection center. Management and Office staff is professional, and tells it like it is. Youre in good hands with MARS
BEST towing company ever yall just mad u got towed
Prompt and friendly service!!
Great
Tow truck company took my car when i broke down. Very inconvenient to me and my family as a car broken down already is. Then $300 to even get my things. These rules help your company but ruin families. Its bad enough you are trying to resell my car u stole, but u also want to resale and keep my belonging too? Oh wow great company!! Update: just went to pay and they have 15-20 big scratches on my car and also a big dent. If u could imagine all the curse words im thinking..
I do not know where these negatives come from. But can easily figure it outAs a towing company operator now retired I do understand why people can get mad at the towing co which should be expressed at their OWN actions including. Illegally parked cars, trespass, etc..These situations are not the drivers fault they are YOURS he did not park in a illegal spot.Now to my experience with th is company on Friday I lost a wheel on my trailer They responded within the response time they stated. They spent extra time loading it as not to extend the damage and made it as easy for the garage to place in a work spot without adding to the damage on the trailer or the shops property.You should all be thankful for the skill of this operator
Quality towing service. Professional, polite, and hrlpful. You can ignore the negative reviews, they are all from people blaming the tow company that they parked illegally and got their vehicle impounded. Thats THEIR fault, not the fault of the tow truck service.
This Towing Company is awesome, I think they are the best Towing Company around..When you call for a tow to remove a vehicle out from your parking spot, they come at your place like they say they would..I would recommend them to anyone
We were travelling to New York and all the sudden our 05 Odyssey started to shake. It was right before Christmas Eve and we were afraid we wont be able to find anyone who can help us. Fortunately, Mars Towing shop was open. Stopped by at the place and chatted about the situation. Anthony, the mechanic, just replied with understanding and eagerness to help. Within an hour we were on the road again because of his professionalism and humaneness. Thank you Tony and the rest of the team. I dont know what would happen if the driveshaft of the car would be broken in the middle of the highway with 8 people in it.
ZERO STARS!!!! I currently went and filed charges as of today for my car being towed out of the housing complex that I reside. On top of that the guy who took my car illegally tried to get $150 out of my husband just so he wouldnt tow it. Mind you when my husband came out, the car was not hooked to the belt so therefore he has no reason taking my car. I have things of my children who I no longer have in my trunk and I was told in order to get MY belongings that I PAID FOR I would have to pay the towing fee. Not only that... Its gets better... The young man who towed my car started tussling with my husband and its all on video. Im a law student and I know my rights and I know tow truck policies and they are scammers. But wait until my lawyer gets done with you guys so look out for those court papers. And heres proof you can not keep my personal property!DIMITRY K., ESQ., AttorneySatisfied Customers: 41168Experience: Multiple jurisdictions, specialize in business/contract disputes, estate creation and administration.Thank you for your question.The towing company can withhold access to the vehicle itself until the towing fees are paid. However, you can always legally threaten them with conversion (theft) of personal property, since while they are free to tow your vehicle if there is legitimate reason, anything within the vehicle is still yours. If they fail to provide you with access (which they can supervise), you have the right to pursue legal action against them as they cannot keep personal items, just the vehicle.
They are money hungry. And rude
Broke down on a Sunday morning, called them and they were there and had the truck loaded within 30 minutes. My truck was delivered to the garage in the same condition it was loaded. I will definitely call them if I ever break down again. Price was very reasonable also
My experience was good. They called to let me know they were on the way and got to me faster than I expected, which was much appreciated. I would definitely use them again.
These guys rock !! We broke down and needed a tow called around a few places and struck gold when we called Mars. The person on the phone was really nice and the driver was there well before the time frame they gave me. Im impressed if you ever need a tow call this place
Car was towed due to illegal parking. There was a dog in the vehicle when it was towed. The driver was so rushed/poorly trained/incompetent that he did not notice the dog was in the vehicle.Called the office, but neither the driver nor office could confirm that the dog was in the car, let alone the state of the dog.When picking up the car, office manager stated that she knew the driver and he never would have towed the car if the dog was in it (however, thats exactly what he did). When the car was picked up, the dog was in the car. What if the dog had been a child?Two days after the car was towed, it broke down due to a burst coolant hose. The car had been running fine up to that point.Spoke with Scott Berger, office manager, who reviewed photos from the tow and claimed that he didnt see a dog. The dog was retrieved from the car in the MARS lot. Scott also reviewed video footage from the tow and stated that there was nothing out of the ordinary that occurred, and that MARS was not responsible for towing the car with the dog in it or any damage to the vehicle.Overall, a terrible experience for the customer and likely a traumatic one for the dog.
Always very responsive. The towing guys are very jovial with us. I think they get a bad rap because being towed sucks, but they are very professional, follow rules to a T, and are careful with the cars they tow. They made sure that our sign is up to code and clearly displayed before they started towing for us. Pretty sure these bad reviews must be by people who are illiterate and cant read their giant No parking - you will be towed signs.
Had car towed to body shop after accident. Driver, Angel, was polite and very professional. I was very impressed. He was careful with the car and inspected everything before towing so that more damage wasnt created. Would definitely recommend MARS towing.
Prompt Professional Service very satisfied would use again
We were parked where we shouldnt of been so being towed isnt really the issue. The issue was when I asked the first guy can I just move it he said once I have it up off the ground its a $160 cash only to get it back down ....uh huh. 5 minutes later the second guy says its $130 to get it back on the ground... so are they not aware of how to do their job? Or are they trying to rip me off? Be careful w thesee guys.
They dented my car and SCOTT told me to call my insurance company?? Yep thats scamming. My insurance people said id have to pay a deductable ect. Very shady and unprofessional company. When i was there, they showed me how horrible they are at their job. Like dropping the cars like théy are untrained!
Im sorry but this place is corrupt as hell. Simply as that. I had to turn down contracts for computer jobs there for fear that these idiot people would tow my car. I have heard they even tried to tow with the emergency brake on. Trust me if they did that to my car I would have called a lawery. Ill never trust them with my car. Hence why I deal with KC auto. Fair honest and not trying to rip people off or cost other businesses money
Mr. C.J. was amazing i was having the worst day and he saved my life. He deserves a big raise thank you C.J.for all your hard work.
Pray this band of THIEVES never tow your car, because they’ll STEAL EVERYTHING out of your vehicle within an hour of you discovering that it’s been towed & picking it up.• Zero Contents• Zero Integrity• Zero Ethics• Zero Apology
Can you give a 0 star? They towed my car and I live here. I explained that I had a windshield replaced so my sticker was missing and offered to show my LEASE and the ignorant, uneducated, upper echelon of our society said no...they only know how to read a sticker with numbers on it. Additionally...the head tow-man smelled like alcohol(the one with tattoos all over his head)! Good job guys, great operation you have going here.
I would not recommend this company. My experience with them was very dissatisfying. The drivers are rude and have no feelings for the misfortune of others.
They did not notify me that they had my car or where it was towed to. $470.00 for towing and 7 days storage.
If anyone would send me their information I am going to sue this company for the theft of my vehicle and then the drivers personally. Due to them illegally towing my wifes vehicle which was parked to take in her grandchildren. I am fighting this all the way to Commonwealth court if necessary and would like your stores when we win the money will be split
DO NOT USE MARS TOWING!!!!!!My boyfriend and I live on property and my car was wrongfully towed... on top of that it was pulled out of the spot in gear with my parking brake on, without skates under my front tires!!!! He could have really damaged my car! He did it even though I had a valid parking sticker, valid registration, and a current inspection.My boyfriends truck was wrongfully towed before this happened.. by the same tattooed guy! This seems like harassment to me!I watch the same tattooed guy tow peoples cars every week in gear without skates!!! Youre going to cause damage!Watch out for the guy covered in tattoos!! He will literally run you off the road for standing up for yourself!!!! Beware!!!!!
My car key fell down a street drain earlier today and my only option was to get a new key from the dealership, when I called MARS to tow the car, they sent out CJ. This man did everything in his power to assist me to get this key and took the extra miles to make sure I got it! I’ve never been so satisfied with a tow company before. If you need assistance this is the place to call!! Thank you MARS!
Dont ever park at the apartments at 17th and Boa in Harrisburg for a short minute. They prey and for every day they have your car impounded its over $100 a day. Cash or money order only. My daughter delivered groceries to her brother and that quick he hooked up and drove away. She was running after him as her purse,baby formula and diapers drove away. The driver of the tow truck saw and heard her, its all about Ching Ching $$$$$$.
Fast service and great communication from start to finish.
Terrible would not recomend to any one
My only experience with Mars was last night. We were traveling on 83 north heading toward colonial park when a truck started tailgating us. As we proceeded off the exit, we were stopped at the light behind several cars. As soon as the light turned green the truck started impatiently and repeatedly honking his horn. As we made our way onto Jonestown road he passed us and anyone in his path driving very aggressively. Certainly not a good impression for me. If I ever need a tow, I will NOT be giving them my business.
Nothing... They couldnt get my car on the truck had to have someone else that knew what they were doing to come get my car... They also damaged my dads brand new drive way!!!
These ppl illegally towed my girlfriends car from our apartment complex. For so called exp registeration.. which it was up to date.. then they wouldnt release the car with out payment for a illegal tow in the first place. These ppl are real scam artists!!!! I will take this up with my apartment management, and hope they drop the contract for this scam towing company!
Scammers . My Car was towed out my community where I reside for no reasons. Rude manager . they are just hired to make money out of people
Dealt with a very rude & unprofessional employee today (1/31/2018). Will never recommend this company service to anyone!! I hope the company lets its employees know they are a representation of them when they are out there working. The driver who was very rude and unprofessionals license plate number was RT68460.
LMAO!!! Just at lunch and the news crew is actively looking for people that were screwed over by this p.o.s. company....looks like all that money they made will be coming in handy for their legal fees, as we watch them swirl the drain!!!!
Love this place and the people that take care of my car
These guys a major scammers. Stay away if you can.
Thieves
Pathetic, money Grubbing, scam artists. Unwilling to work with you regardless of circumstances. One way or another, they WILL TAKE your money !
Always proved professional service, and quality work, thank you
The guy with the tattoos on his head is very unprofessional and this is the worst towing company ever, just read all of the other reviews
Helpful friendly service
Polite and easy to deal with
Not good service
Awesome service
Criminal operations!
Terrible desperate for money
Friendly and fair
