Payless Towing

Tariq is the very cup from which the milk of human kindness flows!
Pretty sure I woke him up, and still timely service very much appreciated, gratitude

I didn’t get Tariq but I got his son. I got into an accident on 19^th ave. Tried to get the car home and it was in really bad condition (timing belt came off and the radiator was halfway into the engine). The car finally stopped on alemany and Geneva. I called 3 other tow trucks and the time they were going to take to get to me was going to be awhile. So I called Payless towing and he said he was going to get to me in 45 minutes and he actually got there a lot quicker. Towed my car to the house quoted me $ 100. When I got to the house he still charged me $ 100 and I gave him extra for the trouble. The next morning I tried to start the car and it wasn’t starting at all. I called him again to tow my car to my mechanics shop (in front of cow palace in Daly City). On the way there 2 people called him waiting for his service. When he dropped my car off at the mechanics my mechanic told me he couldn’t do anything with my car and to take it to the body shop (old mission by Daly City Bart). After he already unhooked my car and let it down, the dude was cool enough to drive it over to the body shop which was on the other side of San Bruno mountains while the other customers were waiting. If you’re looking for a tow truck definitely use this business. Nothing but good experience with these guys. And they also have a body shop they can take your car too if you ever need one.

I was driving south on 101 when one if my tires blew up. Tariq was very helpful towed me into his sons shop and they were very helpful too. Super nice guy very friendly family owned business. Thanks guys. I’ll save your number.
I should mention as a small business owner I under stand the struggles. Support small mom and papa shops.

Tariq is the best. Love this guys energy and attitude. He got me out of a bind on what should have been a CLOSED day for him. Very thankful to have found him.

We are from San Diego. Flat tire on our RV. Came out in 15 minutes and fixed it in the rain. Awesome guys, quick and efficient.

Best towing experience I have ever had! Tariq rescued me where my car got into one it’s moods (at the Oakland Airport) and I am forever grateful. To the point where if I fly out of Oakland again, I might just have him tow me there… and back. That’s how highly I recommend PayLess Towing. The price is right and the service is super great.

5 stars !! They told me they would be there in 30 mins (which is already fast for a tow company) they got to me in 15 minutes. The driver Juanee was great company for the 50 mile tow. If I’m ever stranded in SF again I will defiantly be calling them again. Oh yah and their price was good too.

With all of the good reviews while I had a bad experience, I figure I’d rate it fair and not a complete bad rating based off of 1 bad experience. I called them around 6am for a tow, our car broke down in front of Infusion Lounge and we couldn’t use our AAA roadside assistance because it expired so we had to come out of the pocket on this one and wanted to make sure it was something reasonable. I called PAYLESS towing and the guy quoted me $ 175 from SF to Oakland (by the Coliseum) and it was the cheapest price compare to other towing company so we chose them. The guy didn’t get to us until 7ish in the morning. My husband rode with him and I drove another car and as we head to Oakland, the tow guy changes the price to $ 185 and then asked for $ 5 for toll. Also, he was a rude. We just didn’t feel like it was professional for him to change price while we’re already heading to Oakland when I told him exactly our location and destination over the phone.

These guys are the best!

Tarik is the man!
I hit a curb late last night and blew out both tires on my drivers side. After making many calls to some very unhelpful tow companies, I came across Payless Towing.
Tarik was able to come out with a flat bed tow truck to get me within the hour. He was very professional and offered to help take my car directly to his son’s shop for repair (PAK Auto, which I also highly recommend).
All in all, great service and would definitely use again if I should ever get in a similar jam again… just hopefully not anytime too soon *fingers crossed*

Used these guys a while back but never wrote them a review.
They came out at around 10pm, TO TIBURON, and got my car towed back to the city to the owner’s Sons’ shop PAK AUTO.
The driver who came out was nothing short of professional and an all around down to earth guy.
He gave me an excellent rate, and the next day his son’s gave me a very fair quote to replace the alternator on my car.
I would def use their services again.

Right on time (20 minutes). $ 55 for a jump. No fuss, no problems.

Terrible!!! DO NOT USE! He was suppose to show up in 20 minutes it took him and hour and half. We agreed on a price and tried to make me pay WAY more after he towed the car. Not good business ethics.

The best services and towing at its best! Tariq is awesome and he helped me a couple of times when stranded. Being a former owner of a vehicle that likes to die all of a sudden, I highly recommend calling. I’m pretty sure everyone on here experience the same positive services. Can’t really describe how great Tariq is, but he’s been really helpful when I’ve been stuck on the road.

Tariq is the man. After Triple A left us hanging for FOUR HOURS, Tariq showed up 20 minutes after our mayday call. The tow price was reasonable, and Tariq was a really nice guy to boot. If you need a tow in SF, these guys should be your first call, hands down.

Tarik! Where have u been all my life?!
I’m glad I came across Payless Towing here at Unilocal.Tarik was quick to respond from my inquiries and even gave a really reasonable price for the towing. He was quick to follow up on everything. Needed to have my car towed from my friend’s house to my mechanic after 7pm and it was not a problem at all! He even came to the place where i needed to have my car towed faster than I did. It was really nice doing business with Tarik and I don’t want to jinx myself but if ever my car breaks down and needs to be towed, I’ll definitely call Payless Towing.

Next time when I need towing, I’ll definitely call Tariq at Payless Towing. He was very helpful and willing to accommodate for my needs and had very competitive prices. I actually shopped around a bit and he offered to go even lower than what other places quoted. And he was nice!
Though I ended up not need towing, I really did appreciate the great customer service and his willingness to come out in the early morning.

Last night I called them to have my car towed, the phone call was simple, the guy asked what’s wrong with the car, why kind of car, and where is the location of the car. I then asked him how much is it for the service, the guy said it was $ 55 (good price) I asked are there any fees or is is just a flat rate of $ 55 and there weren’t any fees. The tow truck took about 20mins like they promised., and the whole experience was easy and quick. Tariq was the one who helped tow my car in front of an auto repair shop, he’s great, he even re-​jumped start my car in-​case that was going to help this time, he also checked the engine to see if it might just be other minor fixes. All i can say is that their quick, efficient, honest, good priced and they go out of their way to help you even if you don’t ask. 5 STARS!

Tariq is the man! Needed my car towed from 1 end of the city to the other, where my mechanic is, very early in the a.m.
Tariq gave a reasonable and accurate time-​frame of arrival, and was not only courteous towards me, but to the person parked next to me, whom he guided out of the tight space created by my car and the tow truck, which had little room to park elsewhere.
Tariq was also a good conversationalist, and while reviews mentioned affordability, I was still bracing myself re: the cost due to the distance I needed to go, but wow, affordable it was. Slight downside, he didn’t have enough cash to provide the handful of change I was due, but I ended up telling him to keep it since I was that impressed with everything else — and that still didn’t get me close to what I was expecting to shell out!
Tariq/​Payless definitely delivered on both price and customer service.

Tahriq is an honest, helpful, professional and VERY nice guy who will help make a very stressful situation actually sort of pleasant. He came out to help us pull the Mime Troupe’s 24′ truck out of the mud, and it was a difficult go, but we all worked together as a team, and –success! Tahriq jumped right in to help the digging & finagling it took to dislodge her, he had no qualms about it, and in the end we were all happy. Would definitely call him again. Thanks, Tahriq!
