Once I arrived in my home town the denied to tow my truck because it had a camper shell.They took my cash and are saying they are not refunding me. I'm now seeking legal action.

While I see that the drivers are very good, the Grover Beach dispatcher sure was not. We were stuck in sand on the town side of the Pismo State Beach parking lot. She insisted that we had to be ON the beach if we were in sand, and could not understand where the Oceano Pier Street was. In the end two great guys with shovels cleared enough sand to push us out, and we cancelled the tow.

This company agreed to move my car out of the road and complete the full tow the following day. They even took my car back to their tow yard so they could have access to it the next day to do a long distance tow. The next day in the evening they backed out and now my car is stuck in their tow yard with no one else to tow it. Over 24 hours and my car still isn't back home. They wasted a whole day when I could've been working on getting another company.

I called my AAA agent for a tow, they sent College Towing. When the tow truck driver came he saw what I had already stated, my car was parked up an incline in my carport space with two flat tires. He proceeded to hook my car up and without putting it in drive or neutral or doing anything to even attempt to jump the car since the battery was dead, he just pulled basically dragged my car out and now my car has been throwing off all kinds of sensors from broken traction control and ABS to my check engine light being on. My car is a 2006 Chevy Impala LTZ. Fully loaded. So it has wheel sensors which I believe he broke by dragging my car instead of doing what he should to be able to put it in neutral. If you get AAA or any insurance and they want to use College, SAY NO! They are AWFUL! Oh and in dragging my car he scrapped the whole under side and "can opened"a under part of my fender! Of course they deny any of this and I have gone to them and stated this and the man looked at me like yah ok whatever lady, what do you know about cars! A sad but VERY frequent attitude I come across in the auto mechanics industry. So now I need a whole new fender AND no one can fix my car which everyday is pissed at me when I have to drive it since I'm a single mom on a very fixed income after coming out of a DV relationship. College Towing owes me compensation and they have a contract with AAA so I KNOW they make PLENTY! Court case, I say so. Just stay away from College Towing. Mainly the driver in this case was the problem but now the man at their shop was condescending and hasn't even called back with any concern. I wouldn't give them a star at all if I could have post this without doing so.

My vehicle broke down at the top of the Cuesta Grade so AAA dispatched College Towing out. As soon as Scotty came he asked if we were safe and ok. He said we could go ahead and get in my daughters car to be safe. He was super knowledgeable, friendly & quick. I highly recommend College Towing in Grover!

Driver was called via my insurance to check battery and possibly a tow. Driver checked battery, says good but thought it was the starter. I ask him to tow my vehicle from pismo to slo. He said it's only a battery check and has another call, and leaves. My insurance calls another tow company and they transport my vehicle to slo. Auto repair says it was the battery! So much time and money lost due to college towing. Won't ever use them or reccomend.

After spending an amazing weekend at the KOA, our 4Runner wouldn't start. AAA sent a truck with 2 kids to come out and jump our battery. They were unable to jump our battery and told us we would need a tow because it sounded like the starter. AAA then sent College towing and Delmer showed up. He asked what's going on? We updated him, he said " did two kids in a truck show up?" We said "Yup" he then shook his head and proceeded to jump start our car. He explained what the starter would have sounded like if indeed it was the starter and sent us on our happy way! Thank you Delmer for taking the time to question and explain. Most likely saved us a lot of money.

I'm overdue for thanking Scotty of College Towing (Arroyo Grande) for his Gold Star Performance last fall. He quite literally saved me from a dark and abandoned parking lot when my car would not start. After waiting for a battery guy who never showed - College Towing saved the day - by sending Scotty for a tow. He also determined that my problem was not just a batter - but probably my alternator. The next morning when an "expert" came to jump my battery - he said that Scotty was right - and lucky for me he knew not to just jump the car - but to tow me; or I would not have made it home. Forever grateful for Scotty - and his positive and calming attitude (I was clueless and frazzled) - and also for his expertise and willingness to assist above and beyond "his job".......

A large owl hit our car while southbound on 101 near Arroyo Grande before 7:00 am Sunday morning. The left fender was badly damaged and rubbing the tire, so we needed a tow home. We called AAA and they dispatched Scotty with College Towing. He arrived in under an hour (and that is good for an early Sunday call-out!). He made sure we were okay and then watched for oncoming traffic so we could safely exit the vehicle (parked on the 101 shoulder). He quickly (and safely!) got our car on the flatbed. Scotty was friendly, personable, and efficient. We were back home quickly, and he was careful in offloading our car so no more damage was done. We highly recommend Scotty and College Towing to anyone who needs towing service. Thank you Scotty, and blessings!
