Able Towing

I highly recommend Able Towing Company that is based in Redwood City, CA. A few days ago, my 1974 VW bus needed to be towed from a very difficult parking position. A less-​experienced tow truck driver either would have rejected the job, or would have attempted the tow and surely would have damaged my beautiful bus. On the other hand, Steve, the driver from Able Towing, gave this difficult job a great deal of thought and was able to master the problems. That kind of skill only comes with lots of experience and patience. Able Towing is a small company with very experienced drivers. Also, I called the competition in and near Redwood City and found that Able Towing’s price was lower than the competition’s.

It couldn’t have been any better. Got stuck when my used car purchased 3 days previously would not start when leaving Whole Foods (not even a clicky sound). Not too far from my preferred garage so I originally called another towing company who estimated an hour or so, possibly after my garage was closed for the day. They suggested I call Able, who claimed they could come, and did arrive, in about 10 min. Hassle-​free tow, good handling of my car, reasonably priced. Would definitely call/​use again and beg for Leo.

Steve and Leo are excellent. They have helped me transport several of my cars to local shops on different occasions and they have always been professional, polite, and fast. Their fees are fair and their years of experience is clearly depicted in the quality of their work. I highly recommend this company!

Leo, was very prompt, good at communicating, friendly, competent, and then due to the towing taking less than expected, he charged less than quoted, wow. I was so impressed, I gave him a bit more. Top resource for towing in San Mateo area.

Steve is great. Good company. Got keys made so the truck will have to break down to see them again, but they’re a good company, and I’d recommend them.

I’m a return customer and when you need help getting your knocked out of commission car to the shop Able Towing is the one I call. Prompt, courteous, convenient and will bring the right rig to haul your vehicle.

Quick and efficient. Able moved my motorcycle on short notice to a repair facility 6 miles away. The service was prompt, courteous, safe, but not cheap!

After calling tow company after tow company and being disappointed with such high rates and a lack of customer service, I found this great company. Leo greeted me on the phone and courteously provided a reasonable quote. We arranged on a time for my car to be towed and he was 10 minutes early which is important when you are running around with your family. Leo worked around our dying battery and malfunctioning alarm and towed our car to my parents’ place where he backed my car into a tight space so skillfully. He even checked to see if he could position the car better for us. They really are upstanding people who go above and beyond and I would definitely recommend them.

I called Able today for help towing my Subaru. I had to cancel at the last minute (they arrived onsite quickly) and they were extremely understanding. I was having a terrible day, I offered to pay to cover the call-​out fee but was told, with a smile, no charge. I will definetly recommend them in future. These are genuinely nice people.

The BEST service I have ever received! I called Able towing and within 15 minutes Steve came to my rescue… he was positive, friendly, got my car up and running in minutes, helped me fix a pesky door that wouldn’t close, and he even called autozone to make sure they had the battery I needed and that I would be helped out upon arrival! I got the sense that Steve could fix just about anything as well as keep a bright and positive outlook while problem solving. Thank you Steve and Able Towing, you Rock!!!

Steve from Able Towing came to my rescue. He was great, efficient and sent me on to Auto Zone who also did a great job replacing my battery. Would definitely use Able again!

Incredibly helpful for my first time dealing with a (borrowed) car issue & someone else’s insurance. Joe, the driver for Able, picked me up since buses weren’t running to the place the car was stuck on Sundays. He was very professional and friendly, which matters to me as a small woman (cuz getting in trucks with a strange guy is always a little bit of a gamble). He luckily knew this car model very well, and was able to get it started on the spot. He checked our insurance card for roadside assistance coverage, which I didn’t know to do.

Worst day ever. At least it was until joe showed up. He was super nice (and totally hott) and most importantly he got my car started right up. I’m really glad that my friend told me to call Able Towing. I was super embarrassed to realize I’d left my car in drive and not in park. Joe immediately noticed the problem and only teased me a little. Thanks a bunch for being so great about everything!

In the middle of the worst day, of course I found myself with two flat tires, that just made the day so much better, well i found Able Towing online and called up, shortly after Joe showed up and was able to get my car over to a shop where i could get them replaced,
Thank you so much Joe
Definitely the best service around,

I have had so many bad experiences, with tow companies. I went on Unilocal and found this company at the top, and was optimistic about using their services. Within 30 minutes of calling them to pick up my car… they were at my house and their paperwork was signed and I was able to get on my way. I really appreciate the kind, professional service I received.

Good people here. When someone running a red light totaled my car, Joe towed my car and was really nice. The lot didn’t hassle my insurance about inspecting the car as some tow lots will. Their open hours are convenient, I was able to drop by without an appointment to clear out my stuff. Steve was really nice and had some recommendations for child safety seats.
Hope you won’t need a tow, but I was glad I got these guys.

What could have been a miserable experience turned out not to be so bad after all, thanks to Joe from Able Towing. I highly recommend you call them next time you find yourself needing a tow. Ask for Joe Katz. He is the best!

Exceptional!
I had smoke billowing out from the hood and had to pull over on the on-​ramp to 101, a bit of a precarious placement. I briefly checked in with my mechanic and he recommended Able Towing. Okay, I called to see if they could help me out of my predicament.
Dispatch was courteous and efficient and in no time an Able Towing truck arrived to take care of the situation. Joe was quick to secure my safety and assure my comfort and got the matter under control. The car was secured and we were on our way to the mechanic’s for repair right away. Joe was wonderfully respectful and friendly and happy to generously answer my questions and provide all the relevant information; he helped me to feel completely relaxed and comfortable with the process.
I’ve been towed a few times before and I’d say this was head and shoulders above the rest. Competent, fast and efficient, and friendly. I was well taken care of.
Thanks, Joe and Debbie!

Car was totaled and needed to be towed into our garage on top of our ascending driveway! Steve was very resourceful, knowledgable, and helpful through the whole thing. Would definitely recommend these guys.

very fast and efficient! My driver Joe was very helpful and personable. Made my crappy car-​misfortune not as crappy :)
