Not my smartest move driving my Tesla Model X up to Bohemotash. Mountain. Yep, I got a flat. The shale rock did me in. Thankfully my roadside assistance got me in touch with the calm presence of DJ at Calfornia Towing. He sent his boss, Kevin #1, out on a Jeep to see if they could get a tow truck up there.
Kevin realized that I had gone further than a tow truck could make it and so he said he would send Bryan out to replace the right front tire thus allowing me to drive back down.
Bryan came out on his 30-foot flatbed tow truck with a 4x4 equipped truck on the back of that, drove up to my car, removed the tire/ rim, brought that to America's Tire, waited for them to mount the new tire, drove that back to my car, and replaced it.
I then went up the mountain in Quad with a friend so I could try to drive my car down. As we went up, I saw Bryan driving down. He had the studied nonchalance of a man who is used to rough terrain driving. Amazing.
I drove my car down only to get a second flat, one mile from the park entrance. Another call to California Towing, this time answered by the equally calm Kevin #2. He said he would send Bryan back out. Kevin #1 also called to tell me that he suspected they would be able to drive the flatbed tow truck backwards to where I was parked/ pick up the vehicle/ get it off the mountain to America's Tire. Really? Drive in reverse over rough terrain?
And dang me, that is what happened. The wizard Bryan drove his flatbed in reverse over a mile uphill to retrieve my car. He then texted to say he got the car strapped on and was heading out. This seemed like a typical day for him. I am grateful for his driving skill and easy-going manner. I can't even imagine driving in reverse for more than 50 - 75 feet, let alone 1+ miles uphill over loose gravel and shale. How does someone learn to do that and what innate ability must they have to be so calm/ precise/ technical?
Big props to the California Towing gang with special kudos to Bryan for the heavy lifting. I hope to never need them again and certainly am done with fool-hardy off-road driving. But if I do need a tow, I would call these folks in a heartbeat. Lesson learned.
I parked next to a red curb at the soccer park(my bad) these guys towed my truck about 1 mile away and had it on their yard for less than an hour and charged me over $500 after making me wait in their parking lot for a half hour to pick it up knowing fully I would need the vehicle to get my kid home. Straight up extortion !
Awesome service from the get-go. Reservation was quick and best quote in town. Earlier than “on-time” and driver was friendly and efficient. A couple mos later I had to request another copy of invoice w/o me having my car details (license plate or last 5 VIN# and the guy remembered my car and was able to pull invoice quickly and text it to me. Definitely recommend and use this service again, if needed.
Bryan was absolutely wonderful! Came and was very helpful and thoughtful in helping us get our vehicle towed. Couldn’t ask for better service and care, and I feel grateful!
Excellent customer service! A big shout out to Bryan who showed up early and waited patiently for me to arrive. My car broke down the night before and I was 20 mins late the next morning. Bryan was patient, courteous, and professional. He was a master at maneuvering my car in and out of the tow truck and did everything with care and attention. I had my car delivered to the closest Toyota service in Redding which was about 15 minutes away. We had a pleasant conversation on the drive there. I was so pleased with the service I wanted to tip him, but I didn’t have cash or check with me. He told me not to worry about it and to express my gratitude through a review instead. So here I am. 5/5 stars! Bryan you were awesome! Completely genuine and extremely helpful. I am very satisfied with the service and I highly recommend California Towing & Transport!
Best tow company ever, fast and friendly service. Had a conex container moved and Bryan came did the job he was totally professional and their price was very affordable I highly recommend them for all your Towing needs. This will be the 1st place I call if I ever need another tow. Thank you CT&T
The best customer service I’ve experienced ever! Dylan met me right on time when he said he would. Towed me to my nearest Tesla Service center which was 2 hrs away. 2hrs of great convo. Great guy!
Bryan was great! Broke the studs off my hub. Bryan took the time and patience to make sure no damage was done to my classic truck. He showed up early and was professional.
Dylan did an amazing job and saved me from the i-5 from a blown tire, Dylan go there in 20 minutes. I completely recommend this company and Dylan. thank you guys!!
Tanner was extremely helpful in a challenging situation. He was very knowledgeable with Teslas, dropped me off in a convenient location, and was super friendly on our ride.
MR.Bryan or Brandon I forgot which one helped me move my 5th wheel trailor today in Shasta Lake that had a flat tire and the whole time everyone was worried it wouldn't work but we safely made it to the drop off with no problems and Bryan was very careful. 10/10
Tanner was amazing! Had to take my friend and I three hours and was so kind the whole way. Great conversation, great driving and great customer service. Would recommend this company to anyone.
Dylan was super fast at getting to us. Amazing communication throughout the entire process. Got my truck home safe and sound. Thank you Dylan we will definitely be calling you again when we are ready to take it to the shop.
Out of all the towing companies and tow drivers Dylan From california towing and transport. Was the best.
Old drivers I've ever had. It was a very pleasurable experience.
He helped me along the way and everything I needed help with. It took My car right to my house with no problems even offered To take my car to a mechanic or whatever, and if I need any help in that further to reach out to them. Absolutely, I'm so if you're looking for a tow company. Go with California towing the transport and ask for Dylan. Trust me, you will be more than satisfied.
Dylan the operator was very professional, friendly and quick. I didn't have to wait to long for my tow. I loved the service and will definitely call again.
This review is long overdue. Both our front tires completely shredded on our roadtrip up to Oregon. We were first towed by another company, and after some tire installation mishaps we realized we needed to be towed again to the nearest Tesla service center. Bryan did a fantastic job getting us there. And because we just had a tow the day before, the difference in professionalism Bryan exhibited in the art of towing was like night and day. If you need a tow job done, he’s the guy!
Dylan is the best! Dylan was recommended by Tesla as a specialist in towing these creatures. He was kind enough to give us a ride also. Dylan is incredibly kind, professional, knowledgeable, and you can see that his light is really on. We so appreciate him. The Tesla would not charge late at night, so we had to spend the night in Corning, but everyone was so kind, and he agreed that our trip was better having met Dylan and then if we would’ve made it home tonight before. Thanks Dylan!
Bryan from California Towing has towed my EV truck twice now, and both times he did a fantastic job. The first time he had to drag it out of my garage (he was the 2nd tow company I called, after the first one said they couldn't do it) and the 2nd time was in a parking lot with barely enough room for him to maneuver his truck. I hope to never need my truck towed again, but if I do I hope it's Bryan with California Towing doing it.
My Tesla went berserk, crazy computer total malfunction. Plus it locked up all 4 wheels, couldn't move it from the garage. Tesla sent Calif Towing and Transport and the driver, Bryan was amazing. He. explained the problem and told me what he needed to do. He's professional manner and obvious knowledge of the problem put me at ease. I rode with him to the Chico Service Center and got a loaner car. Even his driving was outstanding. Polite, courteous and a very safe driver. From a bad situation to meeting an amazing young man, it ended up to be a great day. Thanks Bryan...
Those guys rock. Bryan got me out of a tough spot with my flatbed dually stuck on the side of hwy 44 outside of Shingletown.
Fast response, friendly service, fair price. Highly recommend these folks especially the driver Bryan
California towing‘s driver Austin did extraordinary work and really bailed me out of a jam with a stranded vehicle. If your car is stuck in a ditch or disabled or whatever, California towing and driver Austin are the ones you want. Saved me an enormous amount of grief and hassle and expense
Bryan is pretty much amazing. Good customer-based personality, quick & efficient, and personable.
He was able to get to my location within 20 minutes of my call, and had me where I needed to be quickly.
All around one of the best towing experiences I’ve had in this life
Excellent, professional service. They got to me quickly and on time. The driver's truck was clean and he treated my motorhome with great care. These guys are really good at what they do. Thanks for that!
Great reviews and accolades are earned and deserved. California Towing and Transport was nothing short of amazing. They turned an always precarious situation into a wonderful experience of professionalism, promptness and a job well done. Their service Technician Todd was the best I have ever seen. He was amazing in every aspect.
He had no idea, but we operate a logistics company and know outstanding when we see it. This company is the Best. Suggest if the need ever arises you trust and utilize California Towing and Transport.
This company is so professional! the driver, Austin was the most professional and nicest guy you could ever have come and help under a stressful situation. Many drivers in this profession could very easily develop a haughty "know it all" attitude but Austin allowed us to work with him to help with a "not so ordinary" situation. I would highly recommend this company for any and all towing needs!! I guarantee you that any negative feedback are from people that would have been hard to please under any circumstances!!!!!
I was on a 16 hour road trip with truck, camper and cargo trailer when I had engine trouble 7 hours from home, and over the state line. The receptionist at California towing was very friendly and helpful, talking to the owner and negotiating a transport home for me the next morning. The quote seemed reasonable. The driver was patient and helpful as we loaded my 35.5ft of rig and kind enough to drop me off to pick up a rental car, though I was welcome to ride with him. He was also great with a somewhat complicated residential delivery. I am most appreciative!
Wonderful costumer service and quick service overall! Called as we frantically rolled into town with a flat tire and needed a tow quickly to a nearby tire store. Bryan arrived within 15 mins, and called when he was 10 minutes away. He was professional and understanding throughout, even getting the car hooked up as quickly as possible so we could get to the tire store, and went out of his way to make sure the car was carefully loaded and unloaded. Thank you!!
I had my truck towed today. It was a misunderstanding on my part. They guys were very professional and their service was great considering I was at fault. Everyone wants to blame the tow company when they they get towed, but at the end of the day, I parked on private property. At least these guys were nice. Plus I got a hat out of the deal!
