CommTow LLC in
Bradenton (FL)

I highly recommend these people for parking enforcement, they have towed away my cars multiple times, and i love it. never damaged it!

What a joke of a company, and what a joke the low life property managers and communities that use this company are. $500 to get your car just 3 or 4 hours after it was towed is ridiculous. And then, you can’t even go pick it up, you have to “set an appointment” so they can “make sure someone will be there”. At $500 a tow, and you can’t even afford to pay someone to be there at all times?

As a property manager - I rely on CommTow - These reviews about them being unprofessional is absolutely not true. These guys go out of their way to take pictures and they take videos of vehicles before they’re towed and they make sure that the vehicles are in compliance for the property management company in apartment communities. I love these guys so much that I actually bought a car from them when it wasn’t picked up from salvage; they are reputable. They are good. They are Professional. And you know that if you’ve been told you’ve been towed for a reason and they will show you the proof all you have to do is be polite and ask and if your property manager and you’re not working with these people, you’re spending money and you’re ruining your reputation.

They tried to tow my car at my apartment complex for an expired license plate from the month prior. Didn’t forget to renew? Yes but it’s none of your business when I renew. They put a huge green sticker on my window that was extremely hard to get off. These people are crooks and the leasing office are crooks as well for contracting them. Shame on you all!!!

I forgot that my registration expired this month. Got a notice of towing. Paid for a new registration and was still towed! My guess is that they didn't check to see that I paid for registration. I'm scared to leave my car in my own apartment complex (I'm not sure where to store it) as I have to wait for my tags to come in the mail. I do not have the money to pay as it's almost 500 dollars! If I tape my receipt to my car maybe it won't get towed..... Ridiculous!

They towed my car last night at 11:40 ish for being on a line that was not even half of a parking space, and they are charging 439.52 plus a 45 admission fee and 26.75 every day that it’s there. I asked my apartment complex about this and they said that they would call and ask them not to tow spots like this in the future, but I still have to pay.

This people damage my vehicle They also overcharge with so many fee”s Send them and email and no response The city need to do something about this business Everybody has to report them To the BBB

If I could give 0 stars I would! My car was towed because it looked “abandoned” all because i have clothes in the back of my car and a small spider web on my tire ? this company is TRASH

this place is absolutely ridiculous!!! needs to be shut down !! My boyfriend’s motorcycle got towed from our complex from “being in a spot too long” and the base price starts out at $500?!?! goes up $50 a day!!! SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!!

Tow company took my truck with out any notice or anything all because I was parked in the street infront of my house legally and my buddy saw it called me at 1 am to wake me up and see why it was getting towed I said I didnt know got a hold of the cops they pulled him over i met them down there and only than was I told where the truck was going and why. The driver himself was very disrespectful. We showed up to the lot after being told we could get the truck that night. The truck dropped the truck and left no explanation. The other driver that night showed up with another car. We were respectful to him trying to figure how to get the truck. He gave us nothing but attitude stating “he wasn’t the one to mess with”. He than told us we had to make an appointment so that’s what I did and they lady that answered the phone was also rude and disrespectful. We ended up getting an appointment set up for almost 3 am and that’s when the only polite person showed up. Was a horrible experience and a horrible way to do business. I get that getting your vehicle towed is never a fun thing to have done but the way this company conducted business was god awful. And there rates are absolutely ridiculous. They towed my truck 15 miles and had it in there lot from approximately 1:30 to 3 and I was charged over 450 dollars.

This is company and Bradford manor HOA Management are horrible. This company Towed my car three times this year (467×3). Theirs drivers like to profile people. HOA has not done anything about it. Even the marking on the floor still not done but they are towing cars. If you have a better place, go there unless you have money to pay. I am suing the company and HOA together.

I was asked if I could help pick up a vehicle that was towed here. I would put a trip to an impound yard in the same category as a trip to the DMV probably worse because a lot of the paperwork you need for the release of the vehicle is in the glove box. I can say that the ladies working today showed me they try to work with the vehicles owner the best they can to help get your vehicle back. After a couple of trips there we were able to leave with the vehicle. Sometimes it's easier to call first and know what you need to have with you and have it with you. **We all need to remember that common curiosity and respect when given goes a long way and you can find the help you need from the right people.** The impound yard is a secured location. The office ladies put up with a lot of frustrated people that are disrespectful and remain professional handling the business at hand so to that I would like to say, " Ma'am, Thank you very much for helping me today! Keep up the great job."

I think it's abusive in a lucrative business that has between the apartment complexes in my case in Avalos Village on 3506 14 between this and the towing company they have a lucrative business earthquake cars two miles or 9 minutes away and they charge you more than 400 dollars for them.

BEWARE????I feel so sorry for the elderly, this company they are towing disabled people cars, and forcing them to pay over $500 to return their car, how is this legal? Something needs to be done, they stating a $250 title fee?wth.. . plus this is sad and ungodly awful, I remember once a friend of mines left her driving license at home in a rush she got pulled over by the cops, they did issue her a ticket but once she went to the court house presented she did infact have valid DL license, the ticket was voided, so why when a elderly person forget to put her disabled sticker up and she prove to the tow she has it, why can't the tow be curved? Or atleast cut in half, how is this a valid tow when the 78year old has a right to be in the parking space on a private property in a senior community they out at 6am towing people cars she lived in the community for OVER 5years ,why wasn't the police called, it was private property THIS JUST DO NOT SEEM RIGHT! ( BUT EVERY SCAM HAS IT DAY!)

THIS TOW COMPANY is taking advantage of people, I called 3 other tow companies who would charge $100-200 for the same cost. Fact check me, I was towed in the middle of the night at Heritage harbour, without proper legal signage, check Fl law 717.07, and I picked it up the next morning. That charge within a 9 mile distance was quoted by 3 companies all under $200. charging $500 for a simple tow and pick up is price gouging! HOA's and apartments who work for this company should triple check, this is unfair and unethical to the people in manatee county.

They perform illegal tows, often without proper authorization or justification. The staff is completely unprofessional and inexperienced, damaging vehicles during the process. On top of that, they overcharge and take advantage of people, acting more like thieves than a legitimate business. Total scam — you've been warned!

Tonight this company tried to tow a my car before visiting hours in my fiancés complex was over. I was able to not only get in my car, call the cops and retrieve my car without payment this is the 4th time in the past 3 weeks they have towed my car the first two times I will take partial blame for as I was unaware of the new apartment rules in regard to towing. But the 3rd time I was parked in front of my apartment Bay Pointe at 51st which shares a parking lot with my fiances apartment Preserve on 51st it was confirmed by the picture and the officer that they towed it from the wrong complex and I still had to pay $465 to get it out. This final time I was towed despite having a pending sticker that has already been paid for I’m just waiting on the physical sticker. These people are predators and I will be suing.

CommTow is an excellent provider for businesses looking for commercial towing from your lot. Ignore the negative reviews here, they are likely all from individuals who have gotten towed. I have personally worked with Katie, Pedro, Chris and Vino (I believe that's his name) on several weekend after-hour calls. The experience has been nothing short of phenomenal.

They are scammers. My car was towed over night and I picked it up in the morning it was some how still 420 and they said it would be more expensive if I waited a couple hours more to talk to my landlord lady. They pressured me into paying money I barely had. I really wonder how these horrible people can sleep at night.

Please Local authorities DO Something about this SCAM This towing company is one of the worst I’ve ever dealt with. Not only do they have terrible reviews, but their fees are outrageous. They charge an unbelievable $485 for each tow, which is simply unacceptable. The company’s practices feel predatory, taking advantage of tenants in apartment complexes like Aria. Cars are towed within minutes, without proper notification or reasonable time to address the situation. It’s shocking that they work so closely with apartment management to enforce these unfair towing practices. This is not just inconvenient; it’s a financial burden, especially during the holidays. I hope others take this review seriously and avoid any dealings with this company if possible. Their predatory approach and exorbitant fees are beyond frustrating.

I got my truck towed from bad judgement. My truck was towed out of townhomes of lighthouse cove. My truck was not parked illegally, and it is not a commercial vehicle. I tried reaching out to property management and no answer from them. There reasoning for being towed was that is was a commercial vehicle, yet my vehicle has no sign on it. My truck followed all rules and they still decided to tow it. Now I have to pay $475 towards getting my truck out for commtows bad judgement. They need improvements and make sure there drivers have full knowledge of there job.

Would put this place up there with Ukraine and Gaza as places you do not want to be right now.. what a disaster.. towed my car said they weren't given a reason other than "managers request" my apartment manager said they never requested. Was charged $35 for being 15 minutes late to an appointment that I never set up. Received no email, text or communication saying I had an appointment.. was told to email the support@ email for more information. Have emailed them 4 times and have not heard back. I would say even if you think you have proper registration, don't even risk parking in any lot with CommTow signs.. not worth the potential headache, and yes these people are as mean as the previous comments say.

I am a resident at one of the apartment complexes that use CommTow and when I had to call them, the lady who answered the phone was awesome she was super nice and understanding, and the driver was fantastic. Less than 20 minutes after I called he was calling me and letting me know he was there to help. They were awesome and I appreciate them! Even when my own car was towed they were super nice and helpful when I called in the morning. I was parked in the wrong spot so it was my fault it was taken. I was mad, but I understand that they were just doing the job they were hired for. When I called at 5:20 A.M the guy was friendly and helpful. Overall I have never had a problem with these people, everyone I have dealt with have been respectful and kind.

Illegally towed my car. No posted signage, I was parked in a parking spot, they came in the middle of the night. When I went to pick up the car, the lady at the desk was extremely rude, even going so far as to make a rude comment as to how I signed the receipt. My car's front right fender had a new dent in it and a broken front splitter (courtesy of the tow) as well and I will be pursuing damages. This is a fradulently behaving business, go to someone else for your tow.

My car was towed between1;15 am to 1:30. I had no idea. I thought it was stolen and called the police station for them to tell me my apartment complex had it told. I didn't even they used comm towing. But overall my experience wasn't bad. I got my car back the next morning. I don't the lady name who holds the keys but she was very friendly. A lesson learned the hard way..now I'm very cautious of my parking.

My car was towed around 2am on 7/6/2022 without warning. I called and scheduled an appointment to pick up my car at 8:25am. When I arrived at my appointment, Jessica (I am not sure if that is her name because she did not seem to want to give her name, she was a white woman white a short hair cut), she was extremely rude, indecent, unprofessional, and inhumane. My partner and I attempted to explain to her that the front office at apartments was aware that our car was in the shop and we had just received it on Friday when the front office was closed, it was closed for the weekend and on Monday due to the holiday, then come Tuesday the car was towed without warning. As we are attempting to converse with her, she is obviously becoming annoyed because she kept saying "Well, I wasn't the one that towed your car" and offered no help at all other than saying management does not have a direct line so we could not call and provided us with a card. As my partner asked her "why, she continued to say that? If she is a representative of the company, then she would be the person we needed to address our concerns with." She proceeded to tell my partner to SHUT UP, not be quiet but to shut up. Prior to even giving us our car, she slammed the window several times while my partner was standing there. She snatched my partner's Driver's License, after receiving payment she once again slammed the window and a receipt had to be requested several times, she shoved the receipt and Driver's License into my partner's hand. There are more small passive aggressive acts that we experienced as well such as the condescending tone, lack of empathy and making suggestive comments that our issue was not her problem, etc. This interaction was unacceptable and a huge unnecessary inconvenience especially when ewe were customers by force NOT BY CHOICE. No one should have to deal with this type of treatment. No business should work with them until they get better staffing or train their employees better.

Obviously I was NOT happy about being towed. Why 5-Stars? Despite the very frustrating and terrifying experience of first believing my car was stolen after visiting a friend at his apartment complex, he said I should call CommTow (the towing company for the complex) first thing in the morning and they got me in before their opening time. I know that tow operators have a rough job and probably get screamed at all day. The gentlemen that ran this facility was polite and courteous. He got me out as quickly as possible. Instructions were clear and no games when I arrived. It is not their job to maintain signage in private parking lots. That said, the apartment complex has messed up! If they are going to tow an attorney’s car, they should at least be in statutory compliance in accordance with Florida Law. I’m usually very careful about parking, speeding, traffic regulations, etc. and this was my first time I was ever towed. I take accountability for my mistakes but at the end of the day, fair is fair! Sure enough, I looked back on Google satellite and the signage is NOT in compliance in accordance with Florida law. I’ll be going to be returning to the complex to gather evidence and build my case. My legal fees are $250/hr. so I don’t think this is worth their time in court. I’ll expect to be fully reimbursed after a demand letter is issued with my initial settlement offer.
