We had an electrical breakdown with our 30ft RV on the Pacific Highway 1 and needed some support. We called Dan, he tried to assist over the phone recommending few actions, but since it didn't work out, he came to tow us back to his shop.
There he was able to identify the issue (one fuse had blown), and get us back on the road very fast.
Very knowledgeable, fast and reasonably priced, I definitely recommend and would not hesitate to call him again if I'm in this area!
My motorhome broke down while I was camping and Dan at Barber Towing came out and fixed the chain that had snapped on my liftgate, he had all the tools needed, and got me back on the road. Then I called him again with a truck that wouldn’t start and after a few minutes, he figure out the problem and I was on the road again. We all know it’s hard to find trustworthy people these days and as a lifelong mechanic who doesn’t have time to work on his own things anymore, this guy is the real deal. I highly recommend Barber Towing out of Atascadero
Dan is the man seriously I am so appreciative of him being there and also when I had to come back for some stuff and he was really nice and understanding plus the service was excellent definitely worth the value and I definitely would recommend him even for myself if I ever have a car issue I would call him. He is a great go to guy.
Dan Barber was able to diagnose an engine problem with our RV that two other mechanics spent TWO years - and mucho of our dollars down the drain - trying to diagnose and couldn't! He was referred to us by another engine mechanic who threw in the towel. Not only did Dan diagnose and fix the problem, he FOLLOWED UP with a phone call to check on it. Who does that?! From other from other mechanics, we couldn't even get a call back . They need to change the name to "Barber, MAGICIAN MECHANIC And Towing." DAN IS THE MAN. Thank you, Dan.
I've been dealing with Barber Towing and Services for well over 2yrs., on a professional level. They are the utmost professional business that I have come across in years. They go above and beyond the needs of Towing and Automotive Services. The owner Dan is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthly, humble and just an overall great business owner. Highly recommend!!!!
I recently needed a tow, Dan was professional courteous and understanding of my situation. He promptly arranged for my vehicle to be picked up even though they were busy. Shaun arrived a short time later, very friendly and helpful. It was a seamless process and everyone was so nice. I highly recommend this homegrown, hometown company for all you towing needs.
I’m a proud American citizen of Paso Robles and I was completely disgusted by the unprofessional and inappropriate behavior I experienced at this towing company. When I arrived to pick up my car, I was approached by a tall, hefty white man wearing blue jeans , cowboy boots with hat, and a belt buckle. He made me extremely uncomfortable.
He told me it would be $195 to open the gate, but then hinted at “other services” and looked down at his private area in a suggestive way. As a straight man, the whole thing felt like he was trying to use the situation to take advantage of me one-on-one. I strongly believe this man behaves very differently when others are around—and I suspect I’m not the first person he’s tried this with.
I wanted to report it in the office, but honestly, it felt pointless. Places like this are rarely held accountable, and it felt like a scam from the beginning.
Had a gear box issue with the car stuck in park, but the transmission in neutral. They came out to the car, corrected the issue enough to get it to the shop and then fixed the issue completely. Absolutely wonderful and quick service when we were in a bind. Appreciate the help and would highly recommend this shop!
Really helpful people! First time I came, I was having battery issues and no one in town would help me. I stumbled upon Barber Towing and they got me in and out in 15 minutes, no problems. I live out of the area but come to the Coast often enough to set up regular appointments, so I keep coming back here for other issues that keep popping up. They do a great job and I’m grateful their help!
Stuck at trader Joe's in Atascadero. Barber towing got there ASAP. Friendly service. The owner Dan is a long time local, trustworthy, experienced, and humble. I would recommend this company to anyone needing a tow, roadside assistance, RV repair, or any mechanical issues. EXCELLENT JOB BARBER TOWING!!!
Not all heros wear capes, some drive tow trucks! I had the unpleasant experience of breaking down on the 101 at almost 11 PM last night. I was alone in the dark & stranded in an area unfamiliar to me- I was a total damsel in distress. I called Barber Towing and Dan the Man saved me. I told him what type of older truck I was in and explained what happened right before it died. Just from that, Dan had a pretty good idea what the problem was. Over the phone he talked me through what to do to get the truck up and running. He was patient during my meltdown and stayed on the line with me until he was sure the truck was back up and running and I was safely on my way . I appreciate that he was willing to troubleshoot with me over the phone and didn’t charge me a dime.
My son went to pick up some things he had left in my car, and the person there told him he had to pay him $150 to pick them up, this is extremely unprofessional!!
Towing a 5th wheel home from the beach and blew a Radiator hose. Dan and Shaun were Johnny on the spot and fixed our issue same day. Ford did not clamp down the pressurized Radiator hose from factory as there were no indentions in the hose from 2 clamps. Got us back on the road same day. Very thankful for both of them.
They were quick to return my call and they picked up a used RV and delivered it to house. I had told them I needed to have it leveled and set up
First problem was getting I in the driveway. He ripped the roof molding and tore out the tv antenna which left a large hole. Second problem is he twisted the door so I can't shut it . He also was on his cell phone the whole time paying little attention to the work while charging me 175/hr.
I just want to give a HUGE shoutout to Danny and Shaun at Barber Towing and Service!!! We were broke down on the 46 East Bridge in Paso Robles, (at night) a few car lengths past the 101 exit, blocking the #2 lane of the bridge!!
Paso PD called for a Towing Company (PRT)… that showed up and had the Audacity to tell us he “Only Responds Out To Accidents, And He’s Going To Have To LEAVE US THERE!!!!!!” And he drove off!!! Long story short, we got a hold of Barber Towing and Service.
They responded out immediately and got us home quickly and safely! These guys have Compassion, unmatched Professionalism and Hearts of Gold! They go above and beyond to provide Excellent Service, no matter what time of the day or night!
If I could give a score higher than 5 stars I would!! I definitely recommend them for all of your roadside service needs as well as mechanical fixes. Thanks again for having amazing work ethics and understanding that people need services outside of regular business hours.
I had an emergency yesterday. My alternator failed, and my serpentine belt snapped as I was headed home from the beach. I was lucky enough to be near the Atascadero exit, and Barber was the only mechanic open on a Sunday, so I coasted into their parking lot and called the number on the sign. Dan was there in less than 60 minutes. He was able to diagnose the issue and order parts within 15 minutes of his arrival. He had me back on the road in less than two hours total, and I thought for sure I was stranded for the night!! It was such a huge relief to be able to go home. I was sincerely impressed with the level of efficiency as well as the level of service. Highly recommend. Thanks again Dan!!
If I could rate Dan with 10 stars.I would. I accidentally put d e f into my Ram diesel tank. What a nightmare! I made a call to my mechanic who responded " you really messed up kid".
He recommended Barber Towing. Dan Knew what to do immediately. He told me not to drive it.Just wait on his tow truck. Once we got to the shop , he was very honest and knowledgeable about the situation. Where I thought I possibly totaled my entire fuel system. Dan Assured me he would be very thorough in cleaning up the mess and getting me back on the road.
Admittedly I still had my doubts, Here it is over two thousand miles later & my truck is running absolutely stronger than ever. My trucks are my livelihood and thanks to Dan I am still in business. He was very honest and reasonable in quoting me. Thanks again. I would definitely recommend his service to anyone.
I had such a good experience with them! They were extremely trust worthy friendly people and were able to give me a quick tow when I broke down. Very fast and efficient and highly recommend.
I found my new mechanic! Dan was awesome when he can to tow my Honda Odyssey. Finding a trustworthy person to work on your car can be so difficult. Great communication and fair pricing. I appreciated Dan offering to wait with me when I was waiting for a ride after my car broke down. I’ll be back!
they do great work, had my truck towed there and they jumped on it right away and had me out later that day. I will definitely be going there in the future
Dan is such an amazing person and business owner. He helped me tremendously during a stressful time when my cars engine seized up. Total class act and beyond kind. Thanks Dan and Brittany!!!
I've brought my car in for AC repair and Dan found a leak in my oil filter that I had recently changed at another shop. Barber saved me from having to replace my motor and taking that other shop to court.
Used them again to tow my classic car from Atascadero to Santa Maria to have the upholstery done. I trust them to know how to tow my vehicles without scratching them or damaging the suspension. These guys really know what they are doing especially when they also do auto repair.
Dan was our rescue. He was the o ly person to come and get us. He was incredibly helpful and kind. He gave us a great referral to get our van fixed. Thank you
Our Chevy truck would not start and the steering wheel was locked. Barber Towing came right out and towed it to their shop. Dan diagnosed the problem quickly and fixed the problem. Quick service in towing as well as repairing the mechanical problem. Highly recommend!
