I just wanted to say how grateful I am for this company. I was driving from work to pick up my sister when my tired popped on the freeway. I was on the side of the road not knowing who I could call for help because it was almost 6pm (and most Towing companies close at that time). Carlo helped me before so I called him to see if he could help. He was just getting off for the night, but still drove to get me to the nearest tire shop to get a tire replacement. He took me to Moe’s Tire Shop of which I’m super grateful. In such short notice, He arrived in less than 30mins after calling him. I don’t think anyone is as quick to respond as he did. I was able to get my car back in less than an hour because of his help and got home safely. Thank you Uncle Los🙏 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Carlos was Awesome! He was able to help me get my car started in less then 20min! He actually was able to diagnose the issue over the phone. I initially thought my starter was done for, but carlos was able to work his magic over the phone and let me know that he was going to get my car started that day and to not stress! He was super knowledgeable and explained to me exactly what happened and what he was doing! I will definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent automotive technician. In short he was quick, knowledgeable, personable and honest. Complete A+ service. Thanks a ton Carlos!

I would give Carlos Calderon 10 starts rating if I could. Five stars does not justified what he did for my daughter’s car on Sunday evening. I discovered that my daughter’s car needed new rotors and pads on Sunday afternoon, the day before she has to take long drive back to school in San Diego. I called everywhere. None of the auto shops are open on Sunday. My good friend told me to call Carlos and I did. I explained the situation to him. He said it will be difficult to try to find parts on Sunday afternoon. He said he will try his best to find parts for my daughter. I got phone call back from him few hours later that he will have parts around 6 pm. He told me to bring the car to the shop around 7 pm. He did the brakes and rotors that evening. Since the car was on the lift, he went extra miles to check everything underneath the car, rear brakes, shocks, cv boots, exhaust system, gas line and so on. After, he checked the engine compartment for all the fluids to make sure her car is in perfect condition for long drive back to school. I was so glad he did. He discovered that serpentine belt had bad cracks on it. He was able to get the belt, and installed it before my daughter trip to San Diego. BTW, she made it back to school safely. Thank you for that, Carlos. You got yourself customer for life. FYI, he charged way cheaper than all the quotes I got from other shops on Yelp. Carlos is legit. Highly recommended. We will definitely do business again. Thank you and God bless

Carlos was great to talk to regarding my property needs for towing. He could not assist us with Private Property towing but he gave me a reference to a local company that was able to assist. Just the short interaction with Carlos was impressive and he went above and beyond by giving me a solid lead to resolve my issue.

Carlos was a real hero! He towed my Mini all the way from SF to Mountain View late on Sunday evening, and so very kindly allowed us to drive with him - my 4 year old had a blast and was telling his friends about it today! Thank you so much for your kindness and professionalism!

Awesome service by Carlos! He went above and beyond just to get my totaled car out of the impound yard. Very thankful for his advice to get the insurance going otherwise, it will take who knows how long for the insurance guys to get on top of my predicament. Will recommend him to everyone!!!

Carlos is on top of it. Was very quick to respond and professional. Has a ton of insight into cars if you need more than a tow. Will definitely give him a call again if/when my truck breaks down.

So this review is a little delayed, but I just want to start off by saying that I never ever write reviews for anything even if I was given the best of service. I felt that this was the perfect opportunity to do so considering how much help I received. I was stranded in daily city with heavy rain, having trouble with my car turning on because of a part that needed replacing. Luckily, Calderon Tow and Auto was right around the corner and so I quickly called and immediately was helped. Carlos was an absolute saint at everything that he did to help me with my car. He went above and beyond to make sure I was reassured and to made sure to give me all the information I needed to help me with my car issue. He was incredibly kind and understanding, as well as very knowledgeable at what he does. He definitely knows what he doing and provided an outstanding job with the entire service, the prices are fair would totally come back and trust him with any further issues i have with my car. LIFE SAVER!!!!!

Uncle Carlos came through after I bought $600+ worth in new wires for my 55 t-bird after another guy told me I needed them. Then the guy never got back to me about installing them. Once Uncle Carlos got to work on my car it turned out I never needed new wires. He got the car tuned perfectly, fixed every wire issue I had and more. Felt like a new car. 🙏

Carlos is a true master of his craft. He has a cool Mercedes Benz AMG flatbed’s truck a rarity within itself. He showed up in a quickness that roadside assistance just cannot provide. I truly appreciate him.

All I gotta say is that Carlos is solid💯 I got locked out of my car at around 2am, I've contacted multiple locksmiths to no avail. Yet Carlos pulled up in 10 minutes. 🤯 I rate his service 6/5 stars 😎

Carlos did an outstanding job in helping my wife out of a bad situation. My wife’s car broke down and was initially towed to the Nissan dealership for repairs. The repair cost was over $7000. It seemed very expensive at the time. I decided to have it towed to a different repair shop for a second opinion. I called Calderon towing and was glad I did. Carlos was very concerned about the estimate and volunteered to go to the Nissan shop and take a look for himself. He was alarmed at the cost of repair. His response was that the estimate was grossly exaggerated and was willing to help with his expertise to see what he could do. He went out of his way on his own time to gather the parts to repair it. He towed it to his own shop and repaired the vehicle for a fraction of the cost. He even changed the front brake pads as they were going. Carlos is the exception when it comes to trusting a mechanic. He did what he said he would do at an affordable price. He did not have to do any of this as he was only to tow the car. He was courteous, professional, caring and emphatic with our situation. He went above and beyond to help us when the dealers repair shop wanted to stick it to us. Not only was he prompt, he was efficient and had the car running in a few days. Carlos is the”man” to go to for any towing needs or repairs that he’s able to do at his shop. He gives new meaning to “mechanic”. He can be trusted and will be honest and reasonable in his assessment of the situation. I can’t thank him enough. Give him a call for any automotive needs and tow needs. Thanks again, Carlos! You were a lifesaver👍

My car was vandalized and was not able to drive my car and Carlos was very helpful with getting my car to the shop and he helped me with what my options were to get my car fixed. Very friendly and will definitely use again if needed.

My van stopped running while heading north on 280 just south of SF. Five lanes of mid day traffic speeding by and rocking my vehicle back and forth. I got Carlos on the phone, he made sure I was in a safe parked position and ok with the situation. He quickly found my van, got it loaded on his super nice Mercedes flat bed truck and we were out of there in less than 10 min of his arrival. Carlos is my hero, he changed my super bad situation into a good day.

Carlos was a tremendous help to me and my son getting his car operational again! He help us out on a Sunday night making sure I could leave my son at school with a functioning car and a good start to his college experience. A good man and a good mechanic. So grateful to have found him and to have him in my contacts if anyone ever needs help with their car.

My car battery died and Carlos came to my rescue. He showed up when he said he would. Then he went out of his way to fix my car— he even went to purchase a new battery for me!! As we were just starting a road trip, Carlos inspected the car to ensure it was travel safe and then he even followed up to see if it was operating correctly. I was so impressed with his services I would definitely recommend him!

Carlos is not only a car doctor, he's a superhero. The man knows his stuff, and he is passionate about what he does. Our Honda Accord would crank but not start, and on short notice, Carlos came over and immediately diagnosed the issue, as well as inspected the rest of the car. He promptly fixed the battery and even provided a ride to the local shop to get a couple of quarts of motor oil since the engine levels were low. Now that's going way above and beyond. Plus the man has a gregarious personality, expert knowledge and is just an all-around good guy. Definitely highly recommended, as he completely saved the day!

great, super friendly customer service! … I called Calderon because of the good reviews and want to leave one also! They quoted me 300$ for the tow for my Mercedes Benz to the dealership, but when i described what the problem was , the man said he thought it could be fixed much cheaper right where it was , where it had broken down, and sure enough he got there real fast and fixed the problem ( electrical system which can be tricky with the modern computer systems in Mercedes-Benz)…..got it up and running for about half the price of the tow- very happy and would use again!!i think the mans name was Carlos- I definitely recommend Calderon Towing!!

Carlos was incredibly helpful. My car wasn’t starting even though my battery was new. He was able to give me instructions on different options on getting my car started. Even though I wasn’t able to get the car started myself he was able to show up to my location a few hours later and he got the car on and running immediately and didn’t have to get it towed to a mechanic. Highly recommend calling Calderon Tow and Auto if you need your car up and running or towed.

Carlos deserves more than 5-stars. Fast, efficient, knowledgeable, friendly. He’s the guy you want to call when you need help. The very definition of “good people” and I’m glad to have his business card in my car for the next ordeal. I won’t use anyone else now.

I recently got into a terrible accident on the freeway and was my car was stuck dead in a high traffic area. I dont know how but he saw me and managed to get behind my car and offer immediate assistance. Ended up getting my car off the road onto his truck and safely to my house with almost little to no hassle! He even managed to pull a good portion of damage outbfrom my car too! It was really great work and a huge lifesaver in that moment. Huge thank you again!

Won't find better help anywhere else in this area, if you aren't sure what to do and you are in a situation, this is the man to call, even if you don't know where to go after, he can help you. - Personal experience from my own situation. 10 stars

Like many of us who care deeply about our automotives, I was skeptical to just call any towing service to transport my car. I did a bit of browsing before finding Calderon Tow and Auto. What impressed me off the bat was that this business had a Mercedes Benz flatbed (very rare). I proceeded to make a call and spoke with Carlos, the company owner. I told him my issue and before agreeing to come get my car, he advised me to try a few things to start up my vehicle (would not fire up whatsoever). Turns out my fuel pump gave out and had to transport my car. Carlos promised to arrive in 45 minutes, which ended up being only 20 minutes (very much appreciated). I quickly realized the benefits of using flatbeds as they protect your car's bumper and eradicate transmission damage. Carlos was beyond helpful, friendly, and professional. His pricing is very, very reasonable (do not cheap out on your car, it is WELL worth the funds spent). Calderon Tow and Auto provided me the best towing experience and will continue to use their services for any hauling needs. Thank you, Carlos! You are great!

I recently called Carlos to tow my car from SF to a Nissan dealership, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. He was kind, up front, and quick — everything you need when you’re in a pinch. I never write reviews, but he honestly turned a bad situation into a good day. If you’re looking for a great price, and great service (~and if you wouldn’t mind your car being towed by a Mercedes~), check him out! :)

Carlos is an amazing person - he helped us get our car running again (radiator issues) without even towing it, all over the phone. Even called us back an hour later to make sure things were running ok. I would absolutely call him for any towing or roadside issues.

My car stalled a block from home tonight. I called Calderon Towing and Carlos picked up and was immediately helpful. He was just about to head to another tow but swung by really quickly like a modern day super hero to save the day! Lol! It took him maybe 10 minutes to get to me since I was local. He was very polite and friendly and moved quickly to get my car on the flatbed and literally up 1 block. No need to call anyone else if you need a tow. I give Calderon Towing (Carlos) my highest recommendation.

Carlos is AMAZING. I was stuck at a parking lot with a leaking transmission and then a leaking radiator. He not only towed it but was able to help fix it as well. Treated you like you’ve known him all your life. Likeable and trustworthy. Would 100% recommend. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks again, Carlos!!!

100% will be using Carlos and his team again! As a Realtor I rely on my car and Carlos bent over backwards to make sure I was all set and ready to go. He spent an hour with me on a Sunday night on a long weekend in the freezing cold to help diagnose what was going on with my car.
