Fast Trac Towing

My «hippie van» broke down and had a little episode in Barstow, on a Saturday no less. I was scared I’d be stuck there getting harassed by cops until Monday. or that the cops would arrange a tow. But thank everything holy there are good people at Fast Trac who actually do what they do to serve you, not screw you. Was certainly the first time in my life I’ve ever met a genuine and friendly tow company owner, and yeah I met the owner. he’s the one that lifted me off the side of the road. Super professional trucks and gear. Did a solid job. Best part is they dont just provide towing service, they also have a shop and a team of mechanics that did a super quick diagnosis and repair to my van. In my case I needed a new fuel pump, and they put in a new engine air filter for free.
My baby never cranked up so fast, and she picks up speed so much faster now.
These guys are cool, and they know what they are doing.
Highly recommended.

Nice honest guys that won’t screw you over. Had car problems going Vegas. Got towed over to their location and was very pleased with the result /​assistance. If you have problems in the area, use these guys, legit!

My brother was on his way from NY to Southern California. He made it to the Mojave desert national preserve when the alternator happened to give up. His car wouldn’t move and I was about a 7 hour drive away. He was still about and hour and a half out from Barstow. The driver made suggestions for closer locations East that might save him money but since he was heading West he went with Fast Trac Towing. The driver was friendly and made good time picking him up. It was about 7pm (on a Saturday!) when he made the call for a tow. I met him in Barstow a little after 10pm. They kept the car over night and by noon the next day we were informed that the car was fixed! The employee that met us there to pick it up was very personable. The price was very fair especially considering how far they had to tow it and the time of day. They are kind and honest men! We had an exceptional experience there and are so thankful!

IF you break down in the middle of the desert, I hope you are as fortunate as we were last Friday. We shredded the serpentine belt on our truck just 12 miles outside of Barstow and Fast Trac came to the Rescue!
When our USAA roadside service sent us 4 miles in the wrong direction to a «shop» that was a wet spot on the side of the road, Ted our driver when he discovered that my wife has a life threatening condition, took the initiative to make sure we were not stranded. He guided us through the process of asking our roadside assistance to allow us to go back to his shop in Barstow.
When we arrived Paul and his staff welcomed us and offered us cool water and all the A/​C we could absorb. Even though they were extremely busy because of the 106 degree temperature outside the shop was able to inspect my vehicle, replace the belt and put me back on the road within about an hour of arriving at the shop.
Finally, to my surprise the bill at the end of this ordeal was completely reasonable!
I now have friends in the middle of the desert between Las Vegas and Southern California. If you have to «stop» then give Fast Trac Towing a call.

The suspension gave out in my 2002 crown vic and I needed a tow, so I called this place. Everything was going very well, they got to my vehicle in a timely manner, towed it 22 miles for only $ 200, but the guy who drove the tow truck really botched getting my car off the truck. He did it in a very careless manner and ended up cracking the front bumper pretty badly and made it loose. There was also additional damage done to the suspension, like the tire becoming loose and wobbling in all directions. I tried calling the owner to tell him about it and to ask about some compensation for it but he insisted that the operator of the tow truck couldn’t have done anything to avoid what he did the car — and even began to act a little immature and sarcastic with me (but that’s no biggie). So in conclusion, if your car breaks down because of an issue under the hood and money is an issue then I could definitely recommend calling this place. However if it’s an issue with your suspension then I would advise against it, because it seems their methods of handling vehicles can do even more damage to your vehicle than before.

I have used Fast Trac twice now & both times they were Fast! My husband locked himself out of his work truck & after calling a locksmith that never showed up, I remembered I used Fast Trac for a flat tire before. Called them & they were here within 20 minutes & had the truck open within 5 minutes. The price was not bad either. I know who i’ll be calling from now on.

Absolutely awful. I requested a tow through my insurance company. USAA called these guys to come tow my broken down car. They were supposed to show up between 1130 – 1200. They showed up at 1045 and since I wasn’t with my vehicle yet (I was still at work), they canceled the tow and told me to call my insurance company back to get them to put in for a re-​dispatch. I did that and was sitting by my car at 1130. I called to see where they were and the said they were on their way back. I get a call 5 min later asking me if I was here. I said yes and the guy asked if I was the one who needed a «jump»? I said, «no, I am the one who needs a tow.» He said, «oh, I am going to have to go get the truck. No one said this was a tow.» Now I am going to be late getting back to work because these clowns can’t communicate with insurance companies, their customers, or each other clearly. I do not recommend. By the way, it is now 1215 and they are still not here.

I spent the last 5-​days with my wife touring the Grand Canyon on the motorcycle. On our way home Sunday, March 25^th, 2012, we had a massive blowout on Interstate 40, 110-​miles from Needles and 68-​miles from Barsow. It could not have been a more remote area with a high wind advisory and a huge storm approaching. When I called the AMA (American Motorcycle Association) for a tow they told me I did not have a current AMA membership and told me I would need to pay $ 500 if I needed them to set up a tow? Long story short, when I verified today that I did have coverage and confirmed I made the annual payment back in Sept 11′ through Sept 12′ they would not return my call? In fact when I went back online to the AMA today I found I was not able to access my online account information (good thing I printed everything I needed this morning). I asked for the manager of the Roadside Services department and directly to voice mail with no return call? AMA Membership 1 079 246 Expires on 9−30−12. When I hung up I called Geico. They immediately sent out a local tow truck company called «Fast Trac Towing» who arrived in no time at all. The driver Josh even called B & B Cycle to see if the store manager would ask the mechanic to come in on his day off to install my rear tire! If you ever need a tow these guy go the extra mile. Thank you Fast Trac and thank you Josh!
