Hound Dog's Towing in
Columbus Grove (OH)

bryan from hound-dog towing was helpful, patient, and just amazing with getting my car out of a tricky parking garage and ensuring it got delivered safely to an auto parts store!

My car wouldn’t start after I tried jumping it, thought I was going to need a tow and Tyrone was able to get it started and didn’t even charge me. Great people and great services, would definitely recommend

I live in an apartment complex that I pay extra on my lease for reserved parking . The sign is clearly posted yet people still park in my reserved spot. All I do is call up Hound Dogs, verify my info, and they come and take away the car that's not supposed to be there. This evening, Garrett was the tow truck driver. He's quick and efficient when it comes to hooking up a car, and driving away with it. Even in tight spots and icy conditions. He's friendly, courteous and doesn't make me feel like a bad person for having someone else's car towed. I'm disabled and have the reserved parking for a reason. So shame on them for parking there in the first place. Thanks to Garrett and Hound Dogs towing for helping me recover my spot!

Hound Dogs Towing operates with extremely predatory practices. My car was towed while multiple other vehicles on the same property had expired tags and were left untouched. This raises serious concerns about selective enforcement and fairness. There was no proper warning, no reasonable grace period, and the cost to retrieve my vehicle was excessive and stressful. When I asked for clarification, customer service was dismissive and unhelpful. This experience felt targeted and unprofessional. Towing companies should enforce rules consistently, not pick and choose who they tow. I would strongly caution anyone dealing with this company and encourage property owners to reconsider contracting with them.

The best, affordable and quickest tow company ever! Highly recommended! If you're stuck in the snow, broke down, need a jump... this is the place to call...

Great. i would us this company anytime any place. Thank you for your service. Very professional. Cared for my vehicle as they hooked it up and this is not the first time I’ve used them just the first time I’ve given them a review

Communication was very much so trash the lady tried to argue with me about the questions she should’ve been asking me. Never got asked if my car could be put in neutral no matter if they doing it that way or not. The lady told me the driver was gonna be calling me before and when he got there and none of that happened. Waited a whole hour for anything to happen and soon as I step out to grab a few things I come back and my car gone mind you again I was never informed he was there nor did I get a call he was on the way I literally had to call the lady back to even know he was on the way… I didn’t get a call from the driver then until he was already sitting in front of my house, now speaking of this I was supposed to ride with the driver but the lady never asked me if I needed to do so instead when we had got back on the phone she said to me “shouldn’t you have informed me about that” but how did I not when I called back to see what was going on bc I was waiting for a whole hour I told the lady I was waiting so that means I’m with my car and obviously need a ride back to my house where my car was going… make it make sense. After me and the driver had a conversation he was calling me back telling me he was gonna have to take my car at 5:30 bc he had other stops, but what I don’t understand is how you finna take my car when I called for your help how unfair is that and then you were gonna have me pay more to get my car from y’all? That’s so scandalous and y’all are trying to be thieves. So for me this was a horrible experience and I know others around the city may not be like this but this for me is the second location I’ve had problems with considering “hound dogs towing” their name speaks the truth they’re out trying to find your cars and take them so watch out for them when you think they’re the right help cause they’re not!!!!

I tried to get a tow through my insurance company and they gave an estimated time of 3hrs. Then after 2 hours I got a call from the company they contracted out to and they informed me they couldn't do the job. Then I was sent another bill to schedule ANOTHER tow through a different contractor. I decided to call Hound Dog's Towing and they arrived in 45min and towed my car with MINIMAL effort and great service. 10/10 Would DEFINITELY recommend. Thank you so much.

Tyrone was so helpful! I was involved in an accident and was very patient and helpful in the transport of my vehicle. Thank you Tyrone for making a bad day a little brighter

4.5 stars At the time, I jus needed to haul my vehicle back home because it wouldn't start. The tow truck didn't take long, dispatch was cordial and informative over the phone . Decent service .

At Napoleon Park apartments, no paid parking or assigned…they gave stickers, some people have 2-3, I have one yet my car was towed The woman said that management was the reason for my car being towed. I have my sticker in the window very visible

Total sham. I believe they go on a c.b. radio to listen to when a triple aaa truck is on their way to beat them before triple aaa comes. A cop is the one that got the car out of the way because it was stuck in snow, thankfully. In regards to houndogs, there are so many inconsistencies with this business. I rarely provide comments, and this one warrants a comment. Don't drive in the snow because they will furiously look for vehicles The car even had triple aaa stickers on it. Triple aaa was on their way, long before, and I believe they already knew it.

My vehicle was legally parked with parking permit clearly visible. They refused to release the vehicle without payment. Here is a picture of the pass taken from the impound lot. The rental company rules allow it to be located on the dash as it was here. The tow driver took pictures at various angles to avoid showing how it really looked to the rental company. No reimbursement was offered from the company nor rental agency.

They operate illegally , they just pick up cars at will, like trolling the apartment complexes, the apartments are giving proper notice, they only accept cash???? That’s fishy last time I check law states you have to give 24 hour access and any forms of payments… they need reported immediately, towed daughter car twice in two days with giving no room for her to rectify any issues. SMH

Driver, Did amazing he was fast didn’t take him long at all to hook everything up especially in the cold also made me feel safe, which is the most important part for me when I’m riding along definitely recommend to family and friends.

This company operates with unacceptable negligence, and their practices border on illegal. If you live in a residential area with assigned parking, or if you are a business considering contracting their services, avoid this company at all costs. They do not take the time or make even the slightest effort to verify whether a vehicle is registered to a property, building, or parking lot. They don’t check tags, permits, or records. Instead, they simply hook up vehicles without confirmation and demand payment afterward. Failing to properly verify whether a vehicle belongs to a property before towing is not only irresponsible it is unlawful. A towing company has a legal obligation to ensure a car is not authorized to be on the premises. This company ignores that obligation entirely. Their behavior causes unnecessary stress, financial burden, and disruption for residents and businesses. If you value professionalism, legality, and basic competence, look elsewhere.

Excellent Nighttime Service! Hound Dogs Towing really came through for us during the night when we needed help. They arrived quickly, were professional, and made us feel safe and taken care of. The driver was friendly, respectful, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs fast and reliable towing especially in an emergency. Thank you, Hound Dogs Towing, for your great service!

I was not happy to have to be here seeing as how my car got towed, but I was in and out with no fuss and they were very helpful on the phone, so 5 stars it is.

Towed my car and slashed my tire. Slow leaker so didn’t notice right away. 400$+ cost to replace tire when it was all said and done. These idiots don’t know how to do their job properly

I love these guys. You want an illegally parked car removed quickly you better call these guys. They are amazing they understand the assignment and execute with precision! I am a property manager and I depend on them and they have NEVER let me down and I’m so grateful to them. Thanks Jesse and guys!

Hound Dogs is the best towing company in central Ohio- hands down! They are prompt reasonable and reliable! Gina and her team have been in every community I work at- they are friendly and helpful! I highly recommend especially for Property Management!

Told me an hour, was there in about half an hour. Steve had me hooked and rolling in about 5 minutes. At drop off he was able to drop it within an inch of where I asked him, great job. Not the first time they have towed me, hopefully the last, but nothing but good experience with them. Highly recommend.

My car was recently towed from my apartment complex by this predatory company over expired tags. The employee at the front desk, “Bin,” was extremely rude. When I expressed my belief that the situation felt like a money grab, he seemed to take offense and claimed that code enforcement could fine the apartment complex for having vehicles with expired tags. After checking online, I found no evidence to support this claim. When it came time to pay, he repeatedly insisted on “seeing the name on the card” even though it was clearly visible—an unnecessary and uncomfortable interaction. My car’s battery was dead, and he quoted me $112 just to jump-start it, while also stating that no other vehicles were allowed on the premises. I declined and used my own jump box. As I was leaving, Bin unnecessarily tampered with the gate, seemingly to delay or intimidate me. This pattern of behavior—intimidation, excessive fees, and misleading information—is unacceptable. Businesses operating this way should not be allowed to continue in Columbus. > I also forgot to mention that they damaged my vehicle. If you’re going to do your job, at least do it properly and without causing damage to people’s property. This kind of careless and unprofessional behavior is truly unacceptable.

One of the best tow truck drivers i have ever came across (Brennan)! My axel snapped on my car in the middle of the street and i needed someone to help out as quick as possible and dispatch connected me with Brennan and he was at the location within 5-10 Minutes! Was very considerate of my car took his time getting it all hooked up and didnt leave any damage on my car even tho it was halfway up a driveway and the front passenger axel was snapped so i would say in a very difficult spot to hook up to! Super respectful about everything even gave me recommendations for mechanics and what he thought could be wrong with the car! Will definitely be going back to hound dogs if i need a tow in the future!

Under Investigation I was towed from what seemed to be a public parking space at a local business. There were no signs that indicated I couldn't park in this specific parking space. If this is private property or parking is permit only. It needs to be clearly displayed. It appears that there are broken signs laying throughout the property that I discovered later. What happened was completely predatory!

My Jeep stalled out in a busy intersection and refused to start. One quick call to Hound Dogs and a truck was on scene within 30 minutes. I found the driver to be very personable and caring. His kindness and skill made a stressful situation much more tolerable. If you’re trying to get towed on purpose, I highly recommend Hound Dogs

Prompt and professional service! A random car was parked in my private driveway overnight, blocking access to my garage. This prevented me from getting my car out and going to work. Hound Dogs responded immediately and resolved the situation. I would rate their service 10/10!
