“I just want to give Pepe’s towing a 5 star review for there great customer service and response time and most importantly to both of their drivers/operators “Jose” driver of rotator and I think “Cordova” driver of flatbed. A few weeks ago we used them and from the dispatch to getting their crew out to the site they were prompt and fast and most importantly very professional with great hospitality. They took very good care of the vehicle they helped us recover and treated the piece of equipment like if it was still new with care despite it being damaged. It’s always negative feedback people leave but this is an occasion for positive feedback and I hope they let these two employees know they are doing a great job and most importantly doing an outstanding job representing Pepe’s towing. Great job guys keep it up.

“Very poor service. I was over charged almost $300 and my property was left damaged. When I tried to call him, he had no response. I asked him for their business license number and they did not provide it. I was charged a total of $525, when I was quoted a total of $300. I had provided them with the pick up and drop off location, which was a distance of 4 miles. When I tried to contact him again for the charge, he hung up the phone.”

“I want to let people know it was a pleasure doing business with them.
We had to offload a 40 foot shipping container in an emergency and he dropped what he was doing and got to us within an hour when he thought it would take 90 min.
His driver was very professional and experienced in offloading containers and did the whole job in 20 mins. They really came thru for us and did the job for a fair rate!
I will use them again as we will have other containers coming in every few months.
Again I an glad I was referred to them.
Super nice people and friendly to deal with.
5 stars all around!!”
