Hiway 120 Towing

Got a flat tire on the way out of Yosemite NP. A tow truck showed up about and hour after we called for roadside service. Josh helped us get our spare on the car. He checked to make sure it had enough air– it didn’t. He offered us to follow him to the nearest town where he filled the tire for me. Then he referred us to a couple hotels where we could stay the night, the tire shop to get the tire fixed, and even a place to eat. Such a nice guy. I would highly recommend using this company if you’re ever stuck. Thank you Josh!

We broke down on our way to Yosemite and called them right away. AAA approved. They were there shortly and even recommended a shop that they felt could handle the issue thoroughly. Our driver was awesome! Told us the history of the places we went through. Excellent service!

DO NOT USE HWY 120 TOWING!
If you’re reading Unilocal before you choose a tow truck company to use in the Groveland/​Big Oak Flat area, congratulations, you have the benefit of being warned.
Someone stole my vehicle from a business parking lot in Groveland. The thief obviously did not have keys but why would they need keys when HWY 120 will tow my car to their house for them? No proof of ownership needed…
I was notified that my vehicle was stolen, it was then located by California HWY Patrol, guess who comes and recovers my vehicle? You guessed it Hwy 120. I had to take time off of work to come and pay $ 400 dollars for the vehicle to be towed from the guys house that stole it to their shop and then storage fees. THE VEHICLE WOULDN’T OF BEEN STOLEN IF IT WEREN’T FOR HWY 120’s INCOMPETENCE.
Not to mention Mike Hamilton the owner of HWY120 Towing laughed about the whole thing. Unprofessional low life.
I am doing everything in my power to have this poor excuse for a human being’s towing license pulled if not having criminal charges pressed and I hope they are.

Last night we got into an accident on Highway 4, apparently there were many other accidents going on as well because it was the first rain we had had here in a while. So we got stuck with these guys. Honestly, the accident wasn’t that bad it took the driver about 5 minutes to pull our car out of the ditch and our car was able to be driven straight from the scene. So, we hand the tow guy our paperwork for our insurance company expecting that of course it would be covered. Apparently it wasn’t so we ended up having to wait for someone to come all the way from Valley Springs (45 minutes or so) just to give us the insurance card so he could check it again, and see that we actually meant business. During those 45 minutes of waiting, we got many snide comments such as, «every minute I’m here is 3 dollars, what time is it officer» the officer gives him the time, «oh yeah I’ve been here for an hour, look kid you could give me 200 dollars and we’ll call it even.»
Excuse me? I may be a kid, but I’m sure as hell not stupid. Luckily the person aforementioned showed up and we were on our merry way. I hope this guy feels like an — trying to work over people that were in an accident. Simply put it was ridiculous, something that you would expect from a city not the good ol’ country.
All in all, I would stay away. If they can try to screw over someone after something like that, who’s to say they won’t screw you over in any given situation? (I really wish 0 stars was an option).

Mike Hamilton, the owner of Hiway 120 Towing, is a straight shooter. He was professional and kind.
Thank you
