They sign deals with HOA's and search for cars with new out of date stickers in the middle of the night.

Predatory practices. These people come in the middle of the night to steal people's vehicles from their private property because they have a contract with HOAs in the area. I don't even believe the contract could be legal based on how they conduct themselves. They don't knock. They trespass (HOA cannot grant permission for someone to enter your property). They bulk up the fees. And when they are confronted, they try to get you to pay them to release your car that's in your driveway. They are rude and the way they conduct themselves, it feels like they are doing something illegal. I mean, they operate in the middle of the night without even trying to knock on the door to notify the person who's car they are taking. They try to extort you to unhook your car that they tried to steal from your driveway, on your private property. And when you threaten to call the police, they ask you for money to leave.

Towed my car and did not report to the police. I had to find out who towed it and they charge every 2 hours $150. Terrible company

I had my car towed by them just on a random pick up from a medical facility. They returned my car no charge but gave zero explanation as to why and did not compensate me for their wrong doing!!!!no apology absolutely nothing. Driver of truck 130 towed it so if you know that drivers name please drop it here. I believe the are doing preditory towing to steal money. The city doesn't seem to car either!!!

Gentlemen on the phone says business owners downtown will need to contact a1 towing and fill out a form letting A1 towing know if we ever want to use the parking space of the building we rent, after hours.
Yes, they think they own downtown and came tell Business owners who PAY rent that because they are parked after hours or on Sunday that means their car is illegally parked.
They towed my friends who were in town visiting who were using the parking I get for renting a unit downtown. Either they change their business practices or we start complaining about them enough that the police do something. It’s obvious they are giving cash tips for referrals. Hope karma eats them alive

If I could give zero stars, I would. A1 Towing is hands down one of the most unprofessional, disorganized, and rude companies I’ve ever dealt with.
After my car was towed, I arrived at their lot and was forced to wait over an hour before anyone even bothered to come and open the gate. There was no urgency, no communication—just complete disregard for my time. When someone finally showed up, they were incredibly rude and dismissive, acting like doing their job was an inconvenience.
To make matters worse, after paying the city tow fee of $147, A1 Towing piled on an additional $150 “administration fee” that was never clearly explained. It’s pure price gouging. The whole experience felt like a cash grab built on poor service and zero accountability.
Save yourself the headache and frustration. If your car ends up here, prepare for long waits, hidden fees, and employees who seem to go out of their way to make an already stressful situation worse. A1 Towing should be embarrassed to operate the way they do.

They towed my beloved Fiesta ST from crunch in Palm Harbor. I left the gym to find my beloved baby girl missing.
Although getting your car towed sucks, Dex and the staff are great, they made the whole $337 sting a lot less and took care of my car. I’ve had an ungodly unfortunate year and these guys were so nice.
When she breaks down I’m calling A1 recovery Inc. for the tow back home to fix.
Dex thanks for being cautious and professional and cautious handling my fiesta.

Watched one of their drivers driving emergency lane for a good 2 miles in traffic and then when he saw police car, he quickly got into the lane but the police car did not pull him over. I guess he didn’t see him, but he sure did move quick once he saw the cop car. They are so dangerous drivers be careful very unprofessional. We should it on here companies that use them like CVS. So we can hurt their business by not going to CVS, etc,,,,,

This is what my friend called predatory towing. According to my friend they drive around and tow cars that are parked not according to HOA rules. That means the HOA gives them permission to tow cars of tenants who supposedly violate arbitrarily set rules. Rules that the HOA drafted , sometimes with the sole purpose to create revenue. We are not talking about the non tenant or third party thst parks on private property but the tenant or visitor who has a right to be on the property, pays rent and when he comes home late from work cannot find a parking lot , so his tire is an inch in the grass or over some line . He goes to bed totally tired, gets 6 hours or less of sleep and his car is towed .
It is also not unusual that such HOA receive kickbacks from the towing company.

Illegal towing company. Towed a disabled vehicle that was involved in an accident. While waiting for OUR tow truck company to come and pick up our vehicle, this A-1 company came and took the vehicle. Horrible people, hold your vehicle for ransom. St Pete police can't even answer simple questions about the law to hold them accountable. Useless!!
