What clients say about Drake's Towing & Recovery in St. Helens (OR)

I sold my car to a neighbor about a year and a half ago. I had expected him to take care of notifying the DMV of change of ownership. I received a certified letter from Drake's a week ago indicating that monies are due from the car being towed and stored at their facility and that I was still showing up as the legal owner. Long story short-the car had been sold two more times with no one being honest enough to notify the DMV of change of ownership; I had no frigging clue what to do! Ray, the owner, walked me through the steps to take. I did so, and kept him apprised along the way. I knew I would never be able to locate the original title so provided Drakes with a DMV printout. I was told that no charges would be assessed to me. I was completely taken aback by this and started to even cry as I could have paid a lot to settle the account. A big thank you to Ray and Austin at Drakes for treating me with kindness and consideration. I highly recommend them for any towing needs.

I had to have my car towed to the shop today, googled around and found Drake's first. When I called I was met with a kind and friendly level of service I haven't had before from a towing company. Texted over my details, waited for the truck. I goofed and completely spaced letting them know my car was AWD and would need a flatbed. Was not a big deal in the slightest, they got the flatbed out there in a timely manner without any fuss. My car was taken to my shop with great care. I would trust Drake's again to handle my vehicle, nice to know there's still a good and honest towing company in this world. 🖤🖤

I purchased a Fiat 500X from Drake’s Towing during one of their lien sales, and I’m extremely satisfied with the entire experience. The owner of Drake’s Towing is a stand-up guy—honest, transparent, and easy to work with. From the paperwork to the pickup, everything was smooth and handled professionally. The vehicle itself runs great and was an incredible value. I would absolutely recommend Drake’s Towing to anyone needing towing services or looking to purchase a vehicle from a trustworthy local business.

Woke up to a flat tire and after running around town was finally directed to Drake's. I was met by friendly and helpful people. Helped me out, was fast about it and even showed me some trucks for sale. Great experience, I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Once again drakes has gone above and beyond for me!! Literally called and within 5 minutes they were there to bail me out of a sticky situation. Even worked with me on pricing to make sure that regardless of me not having the full amount, my daughters car would be moved safely to where it needed to go. Seriously 5 minutes!! You can't ask for better service!!! Wish I could give more than 5 stars!! If you ever need help with towing please don't hesitate to call drakes! I know I will everytime!

Great company. Owner went out of his way to help me and was very kind. My car got rammed into in the parking lot of IGA and then we had issues with my insurance company and the tow. He went out of his way to call the repair place and made me feel a lot better.

Highly recommend! Super professional service! Owner/operator went above and beyond in the pouring cold rain to help us push the vehicle into our garage once delivered. Will continue to support local hardworking businesses!

I had driven myself into a ditch while making a house call for one of my customers. Seeing my company vehicle is a cargo box truck, and I was tilted with my tires buried into the mud. I thought I was doomed for the night. The only tow truck company I could find in the area with a emergency tow was Drake’s. He came out in a reasonable time and In 30 minutes he had me unstuck and back on the road. I appreciate the help! Highly recommend.

My friend recently crashed his motorcycle and it was picked up by Drake's. Ryan Drake has his team were diligent in securing the motorcycle and collecting my friends personal belongings from the location of the accident. He was helpful in taking calls from my friend, and also in making time for us to come take some pictures and pick up his personal belongings. He let us take the time we needed and was both generous and friendly.

Got a flat on a motorcycle in Mist, Oregon. Drake's came to the rescue. Experienced and know how to load and haul a bike without issues. Great organization and even better conversation during the haul back to Vancouver. If you get stuck Ryan is your guy.

Drake's towing is the best. Prices are reasonable and they try to go the extra mile to make a time that is already uncomfortable a little less uncomfortable. Rave reviews are heard all around.

Drakes Towing is family owned and operated and they are exactly who you want to see when you need a tow! Friendly, down to earth and incredibly knowledgeable pulling off tows other companies said they couldn’t do - I highly recommend them.

Ryan Drake of Drakes towing is such a kind and generous guy. He rescued me after I wrecked my car. Gave me really great advice and even recommended an amazing Body shop. He was a straight shooter and easy to work with, I appreciated that. He really alleviated my stress in a stressful situation. If you need an honest tow, call Drakes!!

I've never had a bad experience with Drake's. Their prices are fair and all of the drivers I have had pick up a vehicle have been friendly and pleasant to deal with. I would recommend Drake's Towing to anyone, and I have many times.

Ryan and Lara both went above and beyond the call of duty to tow my car. I had taken a wrong turn at Google Maps’ recommendation and was panicked when I called. Both Ryan and Lara spent an extensive amount of time making me feel comfortable and safe in the situation. There is simply no other company that would take time out of their day (after hours, starting at 8:15pm and ending at 1:00 am) to just talk to me and help me feel safe in a dangerous situation. I had to get pulled out twice, but because Ryan made sure I was getting out safely, he was there to give my car another yank. The difference with Drake’s is the compassion. If you’re in the area and need a tow, Ryan and Lara are absolutely the people to call.

I needed a classic car taken to a shop, and couldn't be there to load it. Drake's coordinated with me and got my Midget moved with no drama. "Cheap?" No. But pricing was fair. If I need it hauled again I won't call anyone else.

I was desperate as my daughter's vehicle was flagged to be towed to impound. Even after hours a gentleman came back to work to get it. They are pleasant, compassionate, and professional. Thank you Drake's!!! You have no idea how much this means to me and the relief it brings me. Also, what a great driver. A very nice person.

Ryan (Owner) was very patient with me in figuring out a solution in my complicated tow situation. I won't dive too far into it but Drake's took very good care of me and their Driver Ray is a very stand up guy. I'd definitely reccomend them to family or friends and if I need a tow in the area again, I know who to call!

If you ever need a tow or if you ever lock your keys in the car, I would absolutely reccomend Drakes towing! Friday of last week, I had worked outside all day and was finally getting ready to go home. It was sunny that day and because I work outside I dressed to not get to hot while working. I got off work right as the sun set. I got in my vehicle and started it. I remembered that I wanted to check the tires, and had kept forgetting too. So I hope out to check them and sure enough I managed to lock myself out of my running vehicle. It quickly got really cold as it does once the sun sets in spring here in Oregon. I had tried calling a few different Tow companies and I assume because of it being late on a Friday, I didn't have any luck. Defeat was quickly settling in. As a last ditch effort I reached out on Facebook to see if anyone knew of someone I could call and actually get hold of and get help from. I was quickly reminded of Drakes towing so I called. He answered and was super nice on the phone which isn't what I've experienced calling other tow companies in the past. I was pleasantly suprised especially so because it was after hours on a weekend. I told him my situation after I whined about my day and he still was very nice. He showed up quickly, was really easy to talk to (I'm awkward as heck) and within minutes I was warming back up in my vehicle and on my way home. Him and his wife run a great business. I will 10/10 reccomend them.

I recently used Drake’s Towing after I backed into our stone retaining wall in our driveway. It was snowy and icy on the roads and Ryan and Lara came out to save my car. From the first phone call requesting help to the final arrival date, there was exceptional customer service. It feels so good to support local St Helens businesses. I will call Drake’s again if I need to and recommend them to all my family and friends when they need him.

I could not be happier with the service we received. My son had wrecked his car and went down a side of a hill. I thought it was going to be impossible to recover the vehicle. They had it up the hill and onto the truck in no time at all. They were very helpful during our troubling times. I would highly recommend Drakes Towing and will only use their service. It was a pleasant experience unlike other towing services I've received from other companies. Its a nice home town feel and they definitely show compassion towards their customers. I wish I could give a 10 star review.

We had the pleasure of working with Drake's Towing recently when we needed our boat towed for some repairs on the trailer. The owner was very helpful and gave wonderful customer service. They are prompt, professional, and go the extra mile. I would highly recommend them for reliable and fast towing services! Thank you Drake's!

These guys are amazing!!! My 2 year old granddaughter was locked inside our travel trailer with the keys. Drakes showed up immediately and went to work and got her out safely with no damage to the trailer. Very good people and highly recommend them.

Ryan was able to get a 4500 pound 8' x 8' x 12' communications shelter for an expeditionary vehicle build I am working on off of a flatbed trailer and placed in my driveway. He did this with less than 24 hours notice and would not let anything stop him from completing the job safely and without damage.

Was the 3rd towing company I dialed after my car died on an intersection, and the first to answer! 5 minutes later I was safely moved out the way, and my ride was on to being serviced. Great people and fantastic response time! Hopefully I won't have to use a tow again, but if I did - they will be the first business I call. Thank you.
