Half Price Towing

I called Half Price Towing for a flatbed to tow my classic car. They showed up on time, their price was low and, most importantly, they handled my classic car with great car. The best towing experience I’ve had yet! I would definitely use them again and refer them to anyone who needs a tow.

You guys are great — bob is the man! Definitely will recommend to others!

This place is great, although I’ve only used them once. Had my pickup towed from a location in Hayward to San Leandro, the rate was surprisingly good! I called another tow company and they did want double their amount. Cool thing is that they knew the area, worked with me to get my truck towed and were very reasonable. Now I got the impression that maybe you have to work with them sometimes on scheduling, which I did, but I’m sure if it was an emergency you could ask them how much time it would take and they would give you an honest answer.
Yes, I would use them again! Although I would prefer to drive my car and not tow it ;)

WARNING!!! Do not support this shady business. They steal cars.

The guy on the phone was nice and had a friendly calm voice. He was very helpful and told me the truck would be here in 30 mins. Which it was. I called at 11:55 to get everything going took my name address and phone number the driver came loaded up in San Lorenzo and brought it to Newark for us. Now he has already unloaded and left by 1:20! Great service! The driver said he had been towing for more than 15 years! That’s always a positive thing when your baby is going on a tow truck (flat bed)! The man that came to tow it was super awesome! Reminded me of one of my old customers! Super cool guy! Thanks so much!

I really liked this company. Called them and had the best price for sure! Kevin was very flexible and worked around an issue I had and still got the job done within very short time. We got our car to our home safe and sound. Totally recommend this company.
One tip though, maybe the workers should look a bit more presentable and a bit more professional. That would help a lot. Other than that it was great! Thanks guys!!!

Today is a Sunday. I called Half Price Towing at 9:30 AM and received an answering machine. I left a message with name, number, time of call and reason for a tow. I didn’t hear anything back in an hour so I called again. This time I asked for them to call me even if they weren’t working today so at least I knew and I could call another towing company. Zilch, no call, and it’s 9 PM now.
The reason for the one star rating: no return call and no statement on the answering machine stating they are closed on Sundays.
If they’re not closed on Sundays and for some reason were taking a day off (ya never know, could happen), then they should change their answering machine message to reflect that and not leave customers guessing if they might be able to use them or not. If they ARE open on Sundays, then shame on them for not answering the phone or returning the call.

Wow, what service I called this company to tow my truck home about 10 miles away. The guy who answered the phone was calm and asked when can I meet him there? I said 30 minutes and was there in 40 but he was there waiting in front of my truck and ready to go. No hassle dropped off at home and done just like that!
Great Job guys!

Half Price Towing is an awesomely affordable and speedy Tow truck service. Ok, so there may have been this one time that I sort of locked my keys in the car inadvertently one day. So I called this place and asked them how long it would take, they said about 40 minutes… Luckily I was at a Safeway so I killed some time looking around the store and got a drink. I came out when it had been about 35 minutes and sure enough there was the truck rolling into the parking lot.
This bronze skinned tow truck driving Adonis of a man hopped down from his mighty truck and in under two minutes the car was open and the whole affair was over. Honestly, it made me feel stupid how easy he made it look to get the door open, but I’ve tried it and it’s way harder than it looks. The point is, it was hella cheap, super fast and I didn’t have to call like ten times to make sure they were still coming. ½ PRICE ROCKS! If you need a tow or you get locked out, these are the guys to call.
