Wind N Sea Towing

I have been bumped by the towing truck in heavy traffic. The driver at first agave me the company and auto body shop info. I distress I only got his driver license and car plate.
Later on the phone he insisted its not his fault even if I he run into my back bumper in heavy traffic. hope my insurance will get the deductible form them.

Ted (driver) was supremely helpful and very accommodating when I got a flat and had to be towed. Excellent customer service and extremely friendly and fast. Thank you!

Wind-​N-​Sea was fast, cheap and provided excellent customer service. After having issues with the Towing Team, Wind-​N-​Sea came to the rescue! They were significantly cheaper, knew what they were doing and arrived in 20 minutes. I lost my keys so Ted had to figure out how to move my car without being able to put it in gear while parked in a a tight parking spot. His 17+ years of experience really showed through several tradesman tricks. He also provided me with a person who made me a new set of new keys in my driveway! He saved me big bucks by not having to take my car to the dealership plus the logistical headache that would have caused. I highly recommend this company and would use them again in a heart beat.

It is a rarity that you are happy about a towing experience! My car stopped working due to an electrical issue. My driver Robert was extremely helpful! Not only was he courteous and professional but he spent a significant amount of time helping me diagnose the issue. I appreciate understanding why an issue occurred in the first place and what I can do to maintain my vehicle. I would definitely recommend this service based on my experience.

They are fast! Using AAA, they get to you quick when you’re stuck in north PB or La Jolla. I literally waited 10 – 15 mins this time.

The owner of this towing company and his brother took major advantage of me.
The tow truck driver guy took advantage of my stress situation and got me to allow him to leave the car at his «friends» shop who does «great work.» That was absolutely not the case. This turned out to be his brother Rody’s shop.
Fast forward 6 months later — I get a call from a private investigator — the car is not fixed and the lender cannot recover it. My lender proceeded to sue me and his shop because of his refusal to cooperate and show any progress, photos, or invoices on the car.
Once I finally saw the car in person about 6 months in… he’s been slacking and blowing my insurance company’s money. The employees knew nothing, they just told me «well it runs and just needs some paint» that was like… 3 months or so ago! The receptionist said she had no access to any records.
Further updates from the insurance company show little progress.
This 120k car has depreciated an entire year in value and then some because of Roger’s complete disregard and abuse of my insurance company’s money. Every payment I’ve made on the car has been reversed in fees. It doesn’t take a year to fix any car.
I’ll update this post after the court date next month.
UPDATE: Rody refuses to return the car — still. Even after the court ruled against him.

So I was driving in La Jolla found a parking by La Jolla beach and after having a lot of fun at the beach and divided to go home my car didn’t start so I called AAA and they said someone to jump start your car and the mentioned he should arrive in 30 minute, after 10 minutes I got a call from a guy called Baher the guy showed up he told me he is with Wind N Sea towing company he was very professional and he did his job cleanly with out damaging my vehicle and he didn’t take as long too.
Based on my experience this company saved my day and I got home in time for dinner and that wouldn’t happen if these guys didn’t come to the rescue and that’s why I was completely satisfied with the service and would definitely recommend giving these guys a call if you need towing or any related service because these guys are the best towing company I’ve ever dealt with.

Ivan and John went above and beyond for me last night when I discovered I had no brake lights for the 90 mile drive home at 930 pm after helping my daughter plan her wedding. They checked the fuses — which were fine– and then pulled out the bulbs from the tail lights. These were blackened and one was sparking. Ivan then drove to an auto parts store and bought new bulbs. These two gentlemen were prompt, smart, and very courteous. They saved me a 90 mile trip back home in a tow truck with my 86-​year-​old mother very late at night. I was able to drive home safely with frequent slowing of traffic due to nighttime road repair. Thanks guys!!!

They really are the friendliest people. Marco came to replace my battery and was super nice. He showed up 5 minutes after I called AAA and fixed my battery right away. He didnt try and sell me anything or be pushy. It was street sweeping the next day so I was in a rush to get going. The job was done super quick and they gave me a warranty on the battery. Recommend for quick, reliable service.

They helped me with a round trip tow while I was getting some work done on one of my cars. They where on time, with a great attitude and a good price. Thank guys for a great experience.

Thanks so much for being so fast and so friendly! Ted is a great representative of the company!

My car was stored there and the last day of storage the insurance company got my car so they took it upon themselves to keep my speakers and stereo .I went and got it back with no hassle but for them to take it in the first place is UNacceptable

Super friendly and came in less than 10 minutes from calling! I was stuck on UCSD campus and he was able to quickly find me, diagnosis the problem and fix it! Yea! Thanks Braeq!

I nearly got run over by one of their drivers who ran a stop sign in pacific beach. If these are the type of inconsiderate people who are towing your cars I would steer far away from them.

Great service.
We were on vacation (Oct 8^th) when our car wouldn’t start. Called AAA and they said someone would be there in about 30 minutes. Baher from Wind N Sea towing arrived in about 15 mins. I had gotten the car started and told him everything is okay. He asked to check it out for us just to make sure. Well our battery was bad. He put in a new one and had us back on the road in under 15 mins. Cost was about $ 100 for the new battery. I thought that was great service. Baher was very polite and professional and seemed to know his stuff. Was a pleasure to do business with.

Sorry I didn’t get the drivers name.
I tried digging my sons car out of the bushes after it rolled down the driveway and into the weeds. I jacked it up and stuck planks under the wheels. We tried pushing it while accelerating.
I tried yelling at it.
I tried asking it nicely.
I pleaded with it’s sense of fairness.
I then, threatened it with a bath.
I jumped up and down then rolled on the dirt in a temper tantrum.
I got cactus thorns in my hands, knees and chest.
I gave up and walked away.
Then I called triple A. We’ll send an independent contractor, «Wind N Sea Towing» out within 15 minutes. That’s what they told me. With that, I showered, changed clothes, sat down with a drink and waited. Didn’t wait long. Sure enough, there’s a tow truck arriving to save the day.
Driver backs his truck up and carefully attaches the cable to a spot that wouldn’t damage the plastic front end that cars are equipped with these days. Few minutes later the car is back on pavement and ready to drive.
Thank you Wind N Sea Towing.
A tip for everyone: don’t run your engine while sitting over heavy brush. We smelled burning brush from under the car and the hose would not reach. We couldn’t even see underneath the car. Me thinks we nearly burned the car and possibly nearby house to the ground. A bit of a nervous moment there.

I only give 5 stars to the best of the best! Ted the tow truck driver was awrsome. Very professional and safe. Picked our car up from the middle lane of I-​5, safely got us to the car repair place and then safely home. Awesome sevice! Thx

Baher, this is for you, as promised. I hate giving out 5 stars because then you think I am easy, I am not, I am ruthless, detailed and specific. Truth be told though, it was just an excellent experience. .. or I was just in a very good mood.
Hard to be in a good mood after you drive 5 miles on a wheel frame and hub cap and mechanic tells you the tire has already been plugged once and you’ll need a new tire — Cha Ching$$) But truth is, I was speeding to an appt where I kept getting lost and all of the sudden on the I-​5 my car started uncontrollably shaking, (scary, right???)
Now a normal person would have pulled over, especially when warning lights come on. But, I was on my way to my neurologist appt. (that has been reset 3 times) for a very important appointment that I have been waiting 5 months for (and fighting insurance companies for approval on a process that would decide if they paid or I paid for a procedure and I won!!) but if you are late by16 minutes, they won’t see you. And of course I got the time wrong. .. by 15 minutes!!!
So back to the story. .The whole afternoon was a fiasco but the wild and furious freeway shaking continued for a few more minutes and then it subsided. I saw that I only had 2 miles to go for the exit, so I kept going. Upon parking, I found that I had flattened my rear passenger tire. My tires were in fairly good condition with good tread, so I wasn’t sure but I did know that I had some issue with San Diego streets and what they have done to my tires. (They truly have ruined my tires on my good car with sports tires). So I went in for my appt, turns out the Dr.‘s ofc. was off on their time too by 15 minutes so all worked out. I did my thing and thankfully all went well. I was now in a good mood, (except for pain in my head.)
When I arrived at the car, I called AAA and they told me exactly when the guy would get there, within 30 minutes. I was in an odd location, not a typical street and foreign to me. It was a funky side street in La Jolla, near Scripts Hospital area. So I took my spare tire out, made room for the other tire to be put back in and found my tire lock (or so what I thought was my tire lock) and waited.
The truck arrived. A clean cut and very pleasant and polite gentleman named Baher stepped out. We got down to business (oh yes, I got that cold refreshing bottle of water too!) He asked me for the key lock and I gave it to him. We had some difficulties and issues with it as he will know but through his genius and tenacity to not give up, he was able to work through the problem (and it was a problem, FOR ME!!! I would have either had to be towed or had to call back another time if we weren’t able to get the situation handled!!). Neither of those were appropriate choices for me.
After a very short time frame, Baher was getting ready to place the tire in my trunk and I was looking for a towel in my car to place underneath it for dirt. Genius again!!! Of course! They, AAA as policy or he had a large trash bag that he wrapped the tire in and placed it in my trunk.
I have been with AAA for over 33 years and I can tell you that I use it EVERY year and it is ALWAYS worth it. I have luckily never had to be towed (hold on, I am knocking on wood…) but too many times over the years they have saved me from locking keys in cars, battery jumps, no gas and flat tires.
Only recently since moving to San Diego have I begun to take advantage of their huge center over on Hotel Circle area. It’s a cool place with a tremendous amount of information for traveling, lets you get some DMV and car stuff faster or cheaper (not sure) and has cheap movie tickets (just not the theater I go too: (I think they are contracted with Regal). It has a whole lot more, just walk in, it’s free (Free travel brochures, cruises…).
But back to Baher, because I told him I would write this for him because I was so impressed. Like I said, I have been with AAA for 33 years and it’s truly impressive when an individual employee can get you to write a review. Says something.

Tow driver Robert arrived quickly. He was nicely groomed & polite (I’m old fashioned and appreciate one’s effortz) He helped me carry belongings out of broken down car, gave me a ride in the spotless clean truck to where I had a ride. He even gave me a cold bottle of water. Top notch. I highly recommend Wind and Sea Towing. They help take the stress out of the situation.

This was quite simply one of the BEST experiences I’ve ever had with ANY TYPE of BUSINESS EVER, hands down. I would highly recommend this company (especially Ivan who handled my call) if your car stops on the road with a mystery issue or if you need a tow.
At nearly midnight last Saturday near San Diego airport, Ivan arrived five minutes after I called him (I was approx 2 – 3 miles away). Immediately he was extremely friendly, easygoing, professional, and EXCEPTIONALLY helpful. I told him my friend’s car battery was dead, and he insisted on not just looking at the battery, but looking at what else could be wrong with the vehicle. He immediately charged/​jumped the battery but then also listened carefully under the hood. He gave suggestions and assessments, and personal advice based on his experiences. When he checked the dipstick and saw there was NO oil left, my friend and I went to a gas station to buy four quarts. He exceeded expectations by letting us know that he would wait a few minutes for us to return so that he could reassess the vehicle after we poured in the oil.
When we realized the car was not driveable (as the engine was not processing the oil correctly), Ivan helped us by quickly hooking up the vehicle for a tow. He did not create an entirely new bill even though I had originally called him just to jump the battery. We towed it to Certified Tire Center on Midway (QUICK TIP: this chain station is the only place open on SUNDAYS).
The entire time, Ivan had a great, friendly attitude, making a terrible situation a very PLEASANT one! He was thoughtful, VERY helpful and knowledgeable, and VERY honest. He is an asset to this company! Thank you Ivan and Wind N Sea Towing!
