Buddy's Towing & Repair in
Oakland (MD)

The ONLY team that will come out to help you! AAA refused to come. EMS gave us a wait time of 5 hours. But Buddy’s came through, and fast! Got us out of a ditch before a storm. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

I was stuck in the ditch along the driveway of a rental home. I called Buddy’s and the lady who answered was great with upfront fair pricing. Within 20 mins of my call a gentleman showed up and me pulled out. Thanks Buddy’s for stellar customer service!

Did great work in a timely manner for a fair price! We are from 3 hours away, and our starter went out on a Sunday evening. Had the truck towed to them. They had it fixed and us on our way within 24 hours! Price was reasonable too! Didn't try to take advantage of our emergency situation by price-gauging. Would definitely recommend!

Arrived to Deep Creek Lake State Park after 3 hours of fifth wheel towing through the mountains. Next day, front brakes on the Ram were grinding and so needed a quick job before heading home later this week. Called Buddy’s and described the situation and was told come in first thing and we’ll take care of you…. Which they did in a little over two hours while I waited. Brakes are good now thanks to Buddy’s. Appreciate the timely service!

Needed a serpentine belt replaces while on vacation. Towed in, taken great care of, and fixed faster than expected. Thanks Todd and Shawn.

I cannot say enough good things about Buddy's Towing & Repair. I have had them working on my vehicles for years and cannot stress how grateful I am that they are there and always willing to work on my vehicles. My family owns land up in Garrett County and I spend a lot of time there and have had a few issues where this shop has kept me moving in my vehicles. One late Friday night I was driving in and lost power to all my electrical systems on my Explorer while on I68 and called early on a Saturday hoping there would be a shop able to help. Todd answered the line and was able to get my car going within hours on a Weekend. Years later, I had an issue with my pickup and it turned out to be a partially seized caliper that was not only repaired in no time but also at an EXTREMELY reasonable price. When I had some potential concerns they had me bring it in and looked it all over again and had me on the way. I tell everyone I know about these guys. 100% will stay working with them as long as they'll put up with me!

My lowboy trailer got stuck on a crest/ apex in the road. Mr Tasker was there within minutes and freed me quickly. Highly recommend.

I was having an issue with my car, early on a Sunday morning. The owner answered my call, and walked me through how I could correct the problem myself. EXTREMELY HELPFUL!

I had my car stuck in the snow. Within minutes they had me freed. They're very professional and I would recommend them.

We got stuck in some of bad weather that came through. Buddy's was super responsive and got us out of a very tough spot. Definitely recommend!

We were visiting Wisp from out of town and broke down not too far from our rental. Buddy’s was quick to respond (even though it was 5:40 pm) and able to get us a tow the following morning (luckily family was nearby to pick us up). Our car got into Buddys shop and quickly they let us know our transmission was bad. We opted to take the car to a local dealership to fix but Buddys had above and beyond customer service while helping us figure out what was wrong and towing our car. I highly recommend them purely based on their customer service.

We came to DCL area for a long weekend work retreat. On the way up I had a rotor go bad. Saturday morning I wonder where in the devil I can get this looked at. Well Buddy's was recommended by another garage in Oakland. Katie was super friendly, said " bring it over we will fit you in". Sure enough they did, called a few hours later to say it was ready. Relief! I wondered what a walk in garage visit would cost...EXTREMELY pleased to see a VERY fair price!! Now my coworkers and I can ride safely down the mountains home!! Fantastic experience here in DCL.

Buddy's Towing came when no one else would! I was stranded in a ditch in Potomoac State Forest near Lostland Run waiting 3 hours with AAA trying to find a tow service before they CANCELLED my call. FORTUNATELY, the ranger station was able to get me in contact with Buddy's Towing and he got me out in no time!

Best tow company in Western Maryland. Fast, reliable, dependable and reasonable.

Great job delivering my wifes car to our special mechanic. Still waiting for our receipt.

I've used this company twice. Once for towing and twice for automotive repair. Their pricing was very fair and no problem with their work. They have been very thorough and professional. I definitely would recommend them to anybody

While bad weather was not in the forecast this past weekend...the area off WISP resort received 6 inches of snow. The place we were staying at was on a severe downslope...of the 4 vehicles we brought only one could not get out. I called Buddy's and within 30 minutes he was there and in 45 minutes the car was out. More importantly was they used a new strap to hook up to the car and with great attention he slowly pulled the car from the bottom of the driveway. I was impressed and I do recommend them. Also, I didn't believe the price to tow was unreasonable.

Car was towed with key in it, with no attempt made to protect it from theft. A sarcastic note was also left between the windshield wipers of the car.

My van got stuck and needed pulled out. They were quick to answer the call and send a truck out to me. They do take credit cards. Price is a little high.

Would give a minus one if I could, called for a tow during regular working hours and had them take me 3.4 miles literally and it cost me 250 dollars! Thats almost 75 dollars a mile! Absolutely ridiculous....

Todd helped me on a Sunday afternoon when everyone else was closed. He went out of his way to coordinate my repair while I was at wisp on vacation. Very thankful for his service.

I was in a pinch. Broke down and from out of town. They were friendly and honest here. Got my car fixed for a reasonable price and got me on my way in 2 days.

They showed up quickly, were very knowledgeable and safely pulled my car up a steep, icy driveway. I am very grateful and highly recommend Buddy's towing!

Full of experience in any situation. Reliable... Honest... in house repair garage for convenience. Highly recomended!

Very efficient on towing incapacitated vehicles and with cleaning up the accident scene. They help with getting the driver in a secure area and to help calm down rattled nerves. They also assure drivers that their vehicles are accessible in order to remove personal effects and to retrieve license plates.

Never met the owner, but the tow truck driver/mechanic that took care of me was awesome. My car had broken down & I ended up being stranded in Oakland during the holidays. The amazing tow truck driver picked me up at my motel before going to get my car, which was an amazing "extra" as it saved me from having to either take a cab or taking the reception lady at my motel up on her offer to drive me there to meet them. Thanks so much again. Stranded Canadian

I had an accident late on Saturday evening driving through back country of the state. I phoned their office about 7:20 P.M. They were on the scene in less than one hour. My two young kids and I were allowed to ride in the truck with them. They towed us 175 miles reaching our destination approximately 11:00 P.M. I don't know what rates are normally but I was charged $4. per mile and $100 labor charge. I wasn't aware of the labor charge upfront but I'm not complaining. Dispatcher even contacted police for me. Driver checked my vehicle before he towed me to make sure I couldn't drive it. Very helpful, family ran business. I wouldn't hesitate to call again. Thank you!
