Arcata (CA)

Huge thank you to Buddy’s Towing for picking cars from the auto shop at Eureka High. Thank you Melissa and driver’s AJ, Connor, and JC. These cars were used as learning tools for the students in the auto shop program. It can be a tight squeeze behind the shop and these drivers did a great job coming in and getting these cars loaded. Thank you all!

I had Konnor from buddys towing and he was great! I had to get my car towed into Eureka and he was able to drop me off at my office which was on route to the mechanic. Konnor is great!

Connor was my tow truck driver today he arrived when he said he would was quick, friendly and very helpful. He even took the time to tell me about my tires that were worn that he noticed after he put my car on his truck. Truly excellent service from him today.

Azriel Aqurt (i think that’s his last name?) helped me on 12/20. locked my keys in my car. if i could give him 100 stars i would! he was so kind and funny! was back in my car within minutes. got locked out in front of the buffet which of course is a sketchy location to be standing outside at night. with him there i felt totally safe. such a great guy. will absolutely call buddy’s again!!

These guys rock. I got my bad news from the shop and called for a tow. Big Z called me about 10 minutes after putting in request and were with me writhing 30 minutes total wait. Fasted I’ve been very had for a tow. Big Z was super helpful hooking up my car in the rain and had a great attitude. Today was a huge rain storm and he worked efficiently and quickly. Overall best tow experience I’ve had in a long time. Thank you Big Z!

Had a great experience with Buddy's towing today. Wasn't sure if he was gonna be able to move my truck because the steering wheel was locked and the shifter was stuck in Park. Asrtiel was very knowledgeable and helped give me some great tips on how to get her running again. Thanks for the help. ?

Asriel Aquart was amazing! Super fast response, very kind, and extremely professional. He made a stressful situation so much easier with his calm attitude and clear communication. The tow was quick and safe. I really appreciated how helpful and respectful he was throughout the whole process. Highly recommend this towing service to anyone who needs reliable help!

I was very satisfied with the emergency roadside service provided through Buddy's Auto Center, Arcata. Asriel A. was the driver who responded and he was a most courteous and pleasant individual. He was able to start my vehicle and provided me with some helpful pointers. Thank you, Asriel and Buddy's!

Dear Administrator, Konnor showed up and changed a tire with respect, a positive attitude which was VERY accommodating for a woman stuck on a busy 101, with a blown out tire AND scared of on- coming traffic hitting me from behind, in the dark! He did an excellent job without complaining, and as requested in my initial call, he made sure I had enough gas to get home. He has proven himself to be an exemplary representative of Buddy's Towing & Recovery and I was VERY grateful to make it home safe & sound!! Again, thank you & AAA for excellent customer service & Happy Holidays!! ? ❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?????

100% would recommend this company. If Asriel is available I would request for him. I’m sure all there drivers are as friendly. Working in the service industry as a plumber I know from experience working on a Sunday being away from family can be stressful. The positivity and personality he had was very professional and put me in a better mood. No one is happy when having to deal with inconvenience like having to call for a dead battery or a tow. Asriel will make that experience a lot easier. God Bless him and his family. Great choice buddy’s hiring him.

Big Z was awesome this morning! He arrived within 10 minutes of the call, was kind, careful and efficient loading the car up. By the time we regrouped and got to the mechanic our car was all set. Buddy’s has good people and Big Z is among them.

I had a AAA call and I was broke down in Fortuna and the towing company I guess wasn’t available to help me so buddys came and towed me and my daughter and Melissa from the Arcata office kept me informed and was so sweet. She made conversation and was a joy to talk to. She made sure we were safe. I highly recommend buddys. They are efficient and so nice and take good care of people. Thank you Melissa!

Asriel Aquart was an exceptional help to me when my car had a dead battery in a very dark parking lot in the redwoods of Arcata. He arrived quickly, was a wonderful gentleman, and was efficient. He made me feel reassured and even had me laughing when I was actually pretty stressed. He’s a very kind man, and I was thankful to have him help me.

Only about 10 minutes passed and the AAA truck was at my car. Azrael Aquart (?).....is certainly the best employee I have seen with AAA in my 60 years experience. And Buddy's Towing must know what a great reflection he is about their company. I have not seen a better customer service in all my years. Courteous and compassionate In dealing with a 79-year-old man. And he certainly knew what he was doing, and he had my car fixed pretty quickly, and there were several problems that it had. And of course, the bottom line for me as a senior citizen was that he saved me money and that is certainly a big plus for AAA and Buddys Towing to have an employee like him on their team. I enjoyed the time I spent with Azriel while he was working on my car. AAA and Buddy's must know how he makes their businesses even better. Thank you thank you thank you. Made my day Don

My car broke down on the freeway late Sunday night. I called for a tow and Asriel from Buddy’s Towing responded and showed up on scene in under 30 minutes. He got me and my car loaded up and dropped off at home faster and more efficiently than I thought possible. He went above and beyond by helping me try to brainstorm potential issues the car as well as tested the battery, starter, and alternator for me. Awesome service. If I could give more than 5 stars I would

Had a great experience with Buddys Towing. I’ve used them multiple times and have always had great success. Had a dead battery in my car and needed help quick! Asriel responded to my request and replaced the battery in my car. So thankful to have such a great service in Humboldt County. Thanks

Yôotva! Thanks to Connor for great service when it was needed! AAA was kind of a pain and it took 2 hours for AAA to finally accept that there are NO crossroads on 299, no houses or local businesses between Blue Lake and Willow Creek. Connor and Buddy's towing saved the day!

First time using Buddy's towing, but I was happy with the service. About 10 minutes after AAA gave me an hour wait estimate, Conner called to let me know he would be there in 5. He was respectful and friendly, and had me back home with my vehicle in no time. Turned a stressful situation into a pleasant experience. Thanks again!

After 10 years I finally left the door ajar and killed my 12v battery in my 2015 Prius. Apparently I had a bad ground when I had tried to jump it. Was gonna have it towed So I called BUDDY’S! And the driver was so nice and taught me how to properly jumpstart a hybrid Prius saving me $300 which it would cost to replace the 12v Prius battery!. I thought I had finally killed my Prius but the driver, Asriel , quickly had me back on the road. And now I know how to jumpstart my Prius! 5 Stars! Well done. Thanks Asriel!

Such a great experience with buddies towing. Their driver and tech, Asriel Aquant helped me with my father’s truck - I couldn’t get it to jump start on my own and needed to move it just a 100 ft. asap. He was friendly and professional, bumped me up in line bc it was a quick job and I was near by, and he was able to tell I didn’t need a replacement battery on the phone. He even moved the truck for me bc I can’t drive stick (?). Thank you, Asriel and Buddy’s!

Called in using triple A. JC from Buddy's towing came quickly & went above & beyond with helping tow my son's truck when we broke down. JC even pushed it pretty much by himself & dropped the truck at a difficult angle, pushed it again & most importantly he was very polite & calm. Buddy's & their employee JC really helped turn a stressful night around. The call back was immediate & he arrived faster than expected within 15 mins. Appreciate this great service, thanks JC & Buddy's!

Called AAA for battery service and was sent Asriel Aquart from Buddy’s Towing. He was beyond helpful and went out of his way to diagnose some problems when we couldn’t get my car started, he even crawled under the car to get access to a hard to reach secondary battery and was super friendly and helpful. Very diligent and quick service, I would highly recommend.

Justin and Connor were our heroes! Their trucks and equipment were amazing and when they assessed the situation, we were EXTREMELY impressed with how they were able to winch out our Motorhome out of the mud in record time. Definitely the best experience I’ve had with AAA. He had a firm, confident handshake and gave us EXCELLENT service!!

I hardly ever leave reviews, but I recently had such great customer service from Austin that I had to share. He was incredibly respectful, kind, and went out of his way to help me feel safe in a situation that definitely wasn’t fun. I really appreciate him so 5 stars for Buddy's!

Buddy's called and a sweet lady told me that she'd get a truck as soon as she could and that we didn't have to wait with the truck just to let her know where we put the keys, we live about an hour away and I got a text saying that they're at the truck and we weren't even half way home. So they get to the house and put it right where we needed it and as a bonus when I was getting out of my sons suburban I hit the lock button and yep you guessed it keys were inside but Baker had it open in less than five minutes I thanked him and he was off and running. I can't say enough good things about Buddy's towing this was my second time using them and they're always friendly and professional I'd recommend them to anyone...

Two thumbs WAY UP for Buddy’s Auto Center Inc. We broke down on Interstate 5 southbound, two miles north of Yreka, CA and called AAA (RV). Jacob called me back and was able to arrange a tow for both our RV and our stacker trailer. The RV tow was handled by a company out of Anderson, CA and Buddy’s Auto Center Inc sent James to handle our stacker trailer. When James showed up and we felt like an angel from heaven had arrived! He was very patient while the RV was being hooked up to the tow. The RV had to be moved before James could hook up to the stacker. He was efficient, and most of all, kind, in how he handled our situation. We had to be towed about 100 miles and Jacob let us put the stacker at one of their facilities while the RV was being fixed. James ensured all the precautionary measures were in place for a safe transfer. The pricing was fair and reasonable. If you have any towing needs, I can't say enough good things about Buddy’s Auto Center Inc. They put our mind at ease and ensured our stacker was safely secured at their facility. A huge thank you to Jacob and James ????

Trailer broke down on Route 36. Had to leave it over night but thankfully Buddy’s was able to send out AJ in the morning. The dedication to getting it done was unmatched. The wheel was about to fall off and he fabricated a way to make it stay while he loaded it onto his trailer. He kept me updated and was super friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs anything towed. Super friendly and helpful.
