Ketterle and Sons Towing and Recovery | Orlando in
Orlando (FL)

We needed an abandoned car removed from a property and Ketterle & Sons did a great job. The came out quickly and worked safely with a professional manner. Cody was courteous and polite.

If you need a tow company in Orlando give them a call.

My car was towed here. Worst customer service ever. They went through my belongings, showed zero empathy, and Claudia was cursing at me when I tried to express my concerns. Absolutely the worst place.

On August 18, 2025 Ketterle & Sons Recovery took my 2020 Chevrolet Spark (VIN KL8CB6SAXLC428850) from private property. The responding officer documented “evidence in car” in the official Orlando PD report. For more than two months I was told the vehicle was at Manheim; I only learned Ketterle had custody after filing a BBB complaint. On October 22, 2025 Ketterle admitted possession in writing but refused to return my personal property, stating that “deadlines for retrieval have long passed.” Their claimed August 18 mailing omitted my unit number and was addressed to my grandmother, so no statutory notice was ever mailed to me. USPS Informed Delivery screenshots for Aug 18–21 show no mail from Ketterle or related parties. The FLHSMV title record still lists the vehicle ACTIVE in my name as of Oct 23, 2025, and I have filed complaints with FDACS (Division of Licensing), FLHSMV Region 5, the Florida Attorney General, CFPB (Case #250818-23268585), and BBB (Complaint #23057943). I have attached supporting documents to regulators; I am pursuing all administrative and civil remedies and will update this review if the company corrects the record and returns my property.

Mr. Perry(Mr.Angel lol), GOD BLESS YOU! Thank you for your kindness and shared wisdom. Excellent service!! Extremely compassionate, understanding, always willing to provide a helping hand. Do not be mad at the towing company for something you did (offense), or did not do (lack of payment). They are great!!! Thank you!!!! (My vehicle was impounded by police)

Ketterle & Sons Towing were contracted to tow my stolen BLACK 2015 BMW i8 Base, which Ally Bank Fraud department was informed early this year. It has been reported to the police, DMW, and has been identified in the NICB.org database records as theft.

The tow truck driver arrived at the house, checks the VIN#, begins to backup the tow truck, and while he was scraping my driveway my neighbors come to inform him thats not the vehicle he's looking for, a WHITE 2019 BMW i8 Convertible Roadster, and to check the VIN#. The driver disrespectfully tells my neighbors that he knows the VIN# is different so my neighbors asked him why he's continuing. He became upset and verbally began to insult the neighbors so they started to argue. The crazy part was when the driver said he was going to call the bank to get permission to tow it anyways. He also commented that he was going to be drivering around. I contacted the bank, informed them if this happens again I would have the driver arrested for trespassing and they would have a lawsuit on their hands. See attached pictures of the 2 different vehicles together before the black one was stolen and the deep scratches the driver left on my driveway. What's horrible is that the company is the one looking bad because of unprofessional driver.

Ray, our porter, was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond to not just tow our family car, but tried everything he could to get it running first. After he towed us home he even stayed to help us diagnose the problem. So thank you Ray for not just being great at what you do but for being a great human being.

A 5-star experience! Not only was the tow truck quick and the job was done efficiently, but the customer service went above and beyond. From the phone call to the tow service, each employee was knowledgeable and made me feel confident I made the right choice in my time of need.

Jack came right on time! He was riding pass as my car wouldn't start and he jumped into action to take my car to the nearest shop. Very helpful, informative and not expensive for the trip. Will recommend!

Great family running this place, very patience and understandable. Owners you guys did a great job w your sons ! They have manners and act like good humans!

DO NOT GO HERE THEY ARE SCAMMERS!!!!! THEY WOUlDN’T GIVE ME MY CAR BACK DUE TO THEM WANTING TO SELL MY CAR TO PROFIT OFF OF IT…HORRIBLE BUSINESS..

Originally I did not write anything but since they think this is a “fake” review, I will write my experience in full detail.

This company has got the customer service of a dead animal to put at best. Nasty, disgusting, and disrespectful guy who answers the phone with the knowledge of a box of rocks. If you have to use a tow company…. Use anything other than this trash location. Getting to my vehicle was jumping thru hoops. The people at the actual location where the car is located were decent but drive a truck and not a car as it’s all dirt and puddles. I will say they don’t steal and do give you time to get all your belongings. But still you don’t have to be jerk speaking to people. See attached photo of them reporting my review.

Not a good company, messes up your vehicle and then claims they didn’t do the damages

Got my car towed, these guys was only supposed to charge me towing fee, but ended up charging me lien fee of 250 extra dollars and they don’t explain to you what the charge is for or anything because they don’t even know what it’s for. These guys are scammers the way there Business looks like a dump they need all the money they can get.

Will was very kind, professional, and very understanding, he helped me retrieve my belongings from my car and explained the whole process to me and the next step of action I needed to take.

Yesterday, I went to this place, and aside from the very poor service, they gave me a black bag with my belongings but didn’t include several items that were in my car — that’s theft. This is the worst place in the world. The younger attendants are terrible; the bearded man was the only one who managed to help me. I advise everyone to check each item they give you (I only didn’t do it because I had wasted so much time that I had to leave quickly). They take the opportunity to take your belongings.”

It's a scam, they towed my truck and charged me $500 for one day, the total was $750, what they do is steal, and you can see on their faces the unhappy life they lead.

Great professional service. Family owned business with tremendous customer service and knowledgeable employees. Trusted member of the community. Fair, honest and respectful.

Unfortunately my vehicle was towed here for a repossession. My things were given to me in a black garbage bag. The problem is when I got home and opened up the bag all of my stuff was wet and there was mold starting to grow. They also misplaced a lot of my stuff such as my gate key to get into my complex, my grandmother’s obituary card AND my bucket of car cleaning supplies. When I called I was told everything that was in the bag is all that they had and after being given the runaround I decided to stop wasting my time and just post this review. I spoke to two different people the first was kinda helpful and the second was dismissive.

Driver dropped my car after using my jack, he didn’t come prepared. Before he left he warned me that my car would make a little noise. Well there is a very noticeable noise coming from it. Manager called me and was deeply on his feelings, insulted me, and didn’t take accountability for his poor company’s actions. They should be out of business

I was stranded in Orlando international airport and Ketterle and Sons Towing was the ONLY towing service to respond over a six hour ordeal. This includes calling AAA and my insurance company. Ketterle was Professional, efficient, and top notch in service. Highly recommend:)

Tire blew out on I-4 in the middle of traffic I couldn't pull the car to the side of the road they were there within 20 minutes to save my custom 64 Impala SS amazing company amazing employees love them

Very kind and courteous people Very helpful in transferring items from a broke down vehicle to another vehicle they offered their assistance weren't even Ask very kind people

The tow truck driver was helpful. The office guy was exceptionally rude to the point he would not even allow me to toss my trash in the dumpster. Car had been gone through by someone & property was missing.

Ketterle & Sons came to our rescue when we were broke down in our company vehicle. They were quick, reasonable and very understanding. I would recommend them to anyone needing a towing service. Thank you! Denise & Billy

The worst people ever! Do not do any business with them. Rude and disrespectful they even don’t know word “professional”.

Towed away car and trying to return damaged blaming us and failing to proove.

They were super nice and for a towing company I had a great experience, and I will definitely be using this company again if I need a tow and would recommend this company to everyone in the central Florida area !! :)

The towing person gave false information on getting my daughters vehicle out. Went to office and got bad customer service, they didn't want to hear what I was saying and just wanted money paid. Yes this is a learning experience but just want to warn people on how this place is such unprofecional. Get ready to deal with unhumain people.
