What clients say about Riquetti Towing & Recovery in Leadville (CO)
God Bless this team for the hard work they do saving lives and vehicles. My vehicle got stuck on Mt Elbert past the creek. I needed the vehicle turned around so I could descend. My vehicle was hooked up by the front axel instead of the tow hooks in the front which resulted in a slight bend to a suspension component. Thankfully the car was able to be aligned properly but the steering wheel is now off. I paid $1,500 for this service.
During a weekend of adventuring, we were stupid enough to take our very heavy Rivian R1T pickup into deep 4WD backcountry without a spare kit. Duh. Most tow companies said no once they saw our coordinates. We were SO thankful to finally find Victor with Riquetti who really saved the day. He got our truck and us out, towed us to a Rivian service center, and we were back in business. He's wonderful to work with: knowledgeable, skilled in crazy situations, kind, and trustworthy (we know after spending MANY hours with him!) We highly recommend Riquetti!
Lost my transmission coming down Independence Pass and was stranded. I called and they were on their way immediately. Driver was very nice.....even stopped so my wife could use the restroom! Overall great experience!
These guys save my butt after hours and after being turned down by other companies for a recovery. I would highly recommend these guys. As a former tow truck operator myself, these guys went above and beyond and know their business!
Victor saved the day! We hit a deer and needed a tow to a body shop victor was patient and when I figured out where I could take it per insurance, we were off! Couldn’t ask for more prompt service!
In response, I never curse! No means no! Fistly, in response I paid with a credit card, to your company. Secondly, I called State Patrol, they never sent a tow order. After breaking down, I had called and your quote too expensive! I found a Leadville Mechanic, fix and tow my vehicle! Within thirty minutes of leaving, you towed! Anybody else! They are expensive, ambulance chasers! AFTER I had told them, do not tow, as I had a mechanic on the way, they illegally took my car! 1st tow was 375.00, I called StatePatrol, they apologized. Said my vehicle should have had a no tow order, as it WAS over the white line and NOT impeding traffic! State Patrol told me Riquetti took and I had to pay the 375.00, but another 360.00 to have it towed to my mechanic, less than 2 miles from their facility!! I reported Riquetti to the Towing Licensing Division, they have had other complaints!
Sadly, another local Leadville family, was forced to pay CASH 683.00 to get their truck towed less than 5 miles!
Just call anyone but these rip off ambulance chasers!
Starting the search for a toeing service after experiencing an incident on Hardscrabble Mountain I repeatedly was declined service after giving the GPS coordinates to my stranded motor home. It went on for several hours before RIQUETTI TOWING answered the call. Victor Riquetti was not only expensive, he was exceptional ! His competence, friendly demeanor and professionalism is outstanding and was worth every penny of our expensive misadventure. Don’t hesitate to hire RIQUETTI TOWING especially if you’re in a serious, awkward, perhaps even a dangerous situation.
Amazing!! Prompt service as soon as it was safe and got me out of the snow bank. Super friendly and sweet!! I appreciate them and what they do so much. Great attitudes dealing with having to pull so many cars out of the snow on a weekend with awful weather. Only Leadville towing company I saw out and about! Would highly recommend.
Considering the morning blizzard after my truck got stuck in a ditch. He got to my truck quickly and got it loaded and back to my apartment. Great price
Super friendly and were able to get some people that were blocking the road out of Mt Elbert out of the way in under an hour so i could get back home to my kid.
Got stuck in a pretty remote spot in the snow, had to walk 3 miles to get service to call police who advised we reach out to Riquetti - they were prompt, upfront about cost, and when they arrived were so down to earth, a breath of fresh air after being stranded trying to get service for over 2 hours! Thank you Riquetti towing!!
I got stuck in a snow bank and the Riquetti folks were awesome. They arrived quickly, got the job done super fast, got the car out with no damage, and we're so friendly on a very cold Saturday morning. I highly recommend them! They also promptly got me all receipts and info to submit to my roadside insurance.
Last Friday night, my wife and were parked at the Safeway parking lot in Leadville when we accidently locked our keys out of our car. Being AAA members, we called right away. They promised someone would be there in an hour. An hour and half later I called AAA and they said they couldn't provide service and that we were on our own! We got the phone number for Riquetti Towing & Recovery and they promised to be there in half an hour. The guy showed up about 20 minutes later and within 15 minutes we were on our way. The guy was great and it was a reasonable charge. Thanks!
By far the best towing company ... best service and the owner is top of the line person .. after being stranded on the side of the road for five days Riquetti towing was the only one to come out thank you for helping me. !!!
100% recommend!!!!! My family was on vacation and took a scenic drive which resulted in us getting stuck on Thanksgiving evening in an area where we had zero cell service. Having 4 young children in the car, this was a complete nightmare. By some miracle we got a call through to 911 and they worked to coordinate the tow. They were timely and so experienced. Thank you!!!!
Definitely knows what he’s doing. Polite and professional, he drove a great distance to rescue our vehicle, and get it to the dealer before closing. Can’t imagine a better tow service.
Questionable decision made trying to get into Elbert upper TH on snowy/icy 4WD road. Only one result with hindsight. Truck totally stuck. Victor and his wife were the only game in town willing and equipped to get into a tight spot and winch us out of our predicament with their equipped Jeep. Professional, polite and non-judgmental. Got the job done and seemed like they had fun doing it.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
We locked our keys in our car at Ski Cooper resort and literally every single locksmith I called was unavailable. Someone suggested calling a tow company and Riquetti Towing got there in 30 minutes (amazing!). The ski resort was about to close and it was Sunday so everything in town was closed, add poor cell phone reception to the mix and the fact that we’re not from the area... it could have been a disaster for us had Riquetti Towing not saved the day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Stranded on top of a mountain with no ph svc..AAA wrongly led us to believe they would help but no..Victor was prompt and has excellent service ...highly recommend...honest hardworking and very helpful. Ty
