Western Towing

Prime example of a company that pretends to work for the people it’s preying on. Came back from a road trip in a rental. Parked my car outside my house and next morning it was towed. They said it was parked in a fire lane but it was on the other side of the street not in the fire lane. Now I have to take them to court for their mistake. They are thieves and if they work in your HOA you should petition to get them removed like I will be doing moving forward.

This is how their trucks camp as of now (12:26 am midnight) to wait for calls so they can come and pick up your car and charge overnight storing fee on top of the towing price and make money and call it a business. I hope karma gives them their fair share.

Western Towing almost towed our car today around midnight. White male with black hat pictured below called to report our vehicle. Fortunately we were able to hear them arrive and were able to intervene. It’s absurd that they almost got away with it since our car had our parking permit on the windshield as per our parking policy. We were parked in an unmarked space, in our complex we may park in unmarked spots with our parking permit. Western Towing didn’t even bother to check for our parking permit and were going to take our vehicle and charge us $400 to pick up. Grossly negligent business practices. I get the sense they’re out for a quick buck. Beware of this business.

I am editing this review because after further investigation there is no doubt in my mind that I was blatantly scammed by this place. My car was towed from my complex for no reason. There is a construction going on in my complex (see pics) that has blocked access to 3 buildings. We all have to park further away and are accommodating to the situation. I have lived here for 4yrs, know every guard, maintenance, and office staff and have great relations with all. Everyone knows my car. My license plate is quite visible and I have a complex parking pass visible in my windshield. On the night in question, I wedged my car in the corner to run upstairs to the bathroom, change my shirt, and run back out to a meeting I was supposed to attend. There were no open spots close to my bldg and I had to run. My car was facing my downstairs neighbor apt and they had their patio shades wide open. If you park further away, you block the driveway. I took me approx 10-15mts to run upstairs and down again, but in that time my car literally disappeared, and NO ONE saw nor heard a tow truck. This was the quietest quickest tow operation EVER! After a few phone calls found out these people towed my car for being on the "fire lane." Please see pics of construction. EVERYONE, has to make pit stops at that corner now because of the construction. UPS, the mail cart, PRIME, FEDEX, UBEReats, dash, pizza, EVERYONE stops there. There is no other access. Prime, UPS, and the mail sometimes are there for up to half hour because they have to make several trips to 3 bldgs. All the neighbors stop there to unload groceries, and then go find a parking spot further away. My car spent less than an hour at that trashy tow place, and this place scammed me out of $425. I'm a single mother, LEGAL immigrant. I also work and have a high position and many connections in the automotive field and with the Bureau of Auto Repair. After retrieving my vehicle I demanded to know who had towed my car. The smirk on the accomplice face (Jesse), and the "gotcha" he told me to my face was very telling. I was targeted. The person on the phone had the audacity to tell me that she couldn't give me the tow truck license plate cuz that is private. Since when? You can see everyone licenses all day long. Even more suspish, is this tow truck has completely "disappeared." Like Earth swallowed it. If he's so "law enforcing" why is he not here towing people out of the corner every day? Well, DRIVER 09 TRUCK 51, we're not done yet. I will find you, I will get your license plate, and that's all I need. You better save those $425 cuz karma is going to cost you times ten!

We were in a handicap parking place in downtown Carlsbad . There was no sign on the handicap sign saying we could not park there. It was around 5:30 pm that we went to a close by restaurant to celebrate our 64 year anniversary. When we were walking back to the car we saw a towing truck pulling out of the lot. We waved at him and said stop and he ignored us. We noticed when we got back there was a sign above the handicap sign saying could be towed. This sign was put up after we left the car for dinner. I went to the same spot 4 days later and the handicap sign was still there but the sign above saying could be towed was gone. This company is a rip off!!! We were charged $440.00 before they would give the car back to us.
