Pito’s Towing

My car broke down in Alameda, I simply paid over the phone VIA CC. The driver was a little late but was in communication with me. Charge was fair, driver was friendly and helpful.
Thanks!

I constantly lock myself out of my car & Pito’s gets to me much faster that AAA does! I love their quick fast & convenient service. I’ve had to call them on more than one occasion whilst in the East Bay. Every person that has come to rescue my keys from my locked vehicle has been friendly & quick. Over all I would definitely recommend Pito’s!

My car spent a night in their tow yard while i decide what to do with it. In that time my mini computer was stolen out of the locked glove (they had the key). My trunk was crowbarred open to have my amps/​subs stolen. The keys no longer worked for the trunk.

I have always been happy with Pito’s Towing. We have used a few of their services.
They were our knight in shining armor towing us from Hayward to our Walnut Creek dealership when we broke down one night. They were AWESOME! We have also bought cars from them a few times and have been very happy. One day I had to call them to have someone towed away. Some JERK parked in my driveway while he went to get a haircut. LOL Pito’s Towing was there within 15 minutes to haul this car away. When the owners got there they lost their sh@! and when crazy. The Pito’s driver stood his ground even after we had to call the police on these people. Whew what a stressfull job!
All in all please remember this… Pito’s Towing is a great family owned buisiness and DON’T PARK IN THIS CHICKS DRIVEWAY OR YOUR RIDE GETS TOWED!
Update:This company is no longer the same family run buisiness? The new owners go by the name like Pito’s 1 Towing? I have not used them so I can not say for sure. Talked to them and they seemed nice enough?

These guys are crooks! Plain and simple! The owner is hiding from everyone as he has more than likely burned all his bridges.
His license should be suspended and he should lose any Caltrans contracts he has.
They damaged my VW Eurovan 4 years ago and I am still livid. I was stuck with a $ 700 repair bill and they charged me $ 150. There will be a special place in hell for this scam fam

WARNING!!! STAY FAR FAR AWAY from this company!!! I snapped an axle on my lowered acura integra and I needed my car towed home on a flat bed from downtown Oakland to Newark. I called my insurance company and they told me I’m only covered to get my car towed to the nearest mechanic shop. He then proceeded to tell me it should come out to about $ 80 – 100 to tow my car home… FINE, I have no other choice right? I was told the tow truck driver would arrive in 30 minutes… took him 45 minutes to show up. The driver gets out of the truck and he’s a 65+ year old man who has «captain hook» for one of his hands, total chain smoker, but was friendly for the most part. He got my car on the flatbed without scraping my car’s front lip too bad, so far so good, right? WRONG! He then proceeds to tell me that my insurance only covers the first 5 miles, and everything after that is $ 8 a mile… wtf? whatever… he then tells me that he’s off work at 6 and will have another driver take me home, so we’ll have to go back to his shop. As we’re getting on the freeway, he’s only doing 40mph, we nearly get into a couple of accidents, but we eventually make it to his shop… mind you, he’s smoking inside the truck the whole time. We eventually get to his shop «Pito’s Towing», and another guy hops in the truck and says, you realize its $ 9 for every mile past this right?! I told him, «are you guys making up prices cause the other dude said its $ 8»…he goes outside to talk to the old man, and they start whispering to each other and I knew something shady was going on. I asked the driver to take me and my car back to my work in downtown Oakland. He agreed to do so, but when we got to my work (infront of the convention center), he stopped in the middle of the street and blocked traffic for a good 15 minutes! He basically fucked up my front lip and did not take care of my car while getting it off the flat bed. Ontop of that, he asked me to pay $ 24 since we went an additional 3 miles! I was pretty livid by then… must I say any more about this place!!! Imagine if it were my mom or my fiancé that had to deal with these crooks?! FUUUUUUCK THAT! I’m getting pissed typing about this place!
