Lowside Motorcycle T&A

Top notch, really great guy, good prices. Used him to tow my crashed scooter, was less than $ 100, and he showed up quick. Professional service. He’s the first one I’ll call if I need a motorcycle towed.

Had to use Tim’s service again with dead battery. Again, a 5 stars service. Called him late in the evening and he was able to pick up my motorcycle the next morning in the QFC parking and deliver it to BMW
Tim was right on time, courteous and nice

Tim’s awesome! He came a few minutes early and took good care of my bike. Highly recommend.

Tim is prompt, courteous, professional, skilled, accommodating and experienced. I would trust him with my motorcycle anytime.

My bike broke down while I was doing errands around town. Lowside showed up exactly when they said they would, and took great care of my bike. I thought their price was fair. Very professional, very thorough, would definitely recommend them.

Sadly had to get another tow but I was once again impressed by Tim at Lowside! He’s just great. No complaints. He was professional and even showed up early! Thanks Lowside!

Tim’s towed me three times in the last year. The next time, I’m going to suggest he offer some kind of frequent non-​flyer discount. I feel like we have that depth of relationship now, and I’m not too proud to be pitiful for a discount.
Of course, I’m only mentioning this so that you know I’m speaking from some depth of experience when I tell you that Low Side is the rightful king of Seattle’s bail-​me-​out motorcycle-​towing niche.
Tim is eminently professional, timely, and organized. He gets my bike to its destination (s) without issue; and he’s fluent in both text and phone, so that I always know the status of my machine and service payment. All motorcycle-​related services are expensive, but Low Side’s fees seem pretty reasonable, considering.
On a more emotional note, I especially like it that Tim seems to be well known and liked by the repair shops I frequent. I trust him. And, frankly, I like him as a person. Guy has a good vibe.

Great guy, great service, great price… definitely recommended.

You hope to not need towing… but when you need it, you want a professional with the right equipment, plus patience and care to do things right. Tim of Lowside T&A is that guy.
Professional, accommodating, timely, with fair prices. Lowside’s business is motorcycle towing. He has a hefty truck with an electric loading ramp for most bikes, and a trailer for the really big ones. You can pay with VISA right on the spot with a secure swipe. He loaded and delivered my bike to the mechanic without issue.
I felt confident trusting my bike to a specialist with the right equipment for the job rather than a general car towing company or a friend’s truck and a wooden ramp (I’ve seen the YouTube video fails).
I heartily recommend using Lowside Towing next time your bike doesn’t move on its own.

Tim was awesome! I needed my motorcycle moved from my old apartment complex in Bellevue to my new townhome in Issaquah, because it wasn’t running at the time. He was super friendly and fit me into his schedule, no problem. He took excellent care of my bike and was even early for the pick up! Highly recommend Lowside for any transportation needs for your motorcycle. Thanks again, Tim!

Called up Lowside because of a flat last weekend. He recommended a place to fix my tire and gave me the time he could come get it. He was friendly, knoweledge, and on time. Even took a back root from my place to the mechanics shop that I didn’t know about.
Excellent Service
Excellent Turn Around Time
Earned the 5 star.

I mistakenly filled my gas tank of my MP3 500 with diesel. DOH!
Tim was able to get my scoot safely and affordably from Greenlake to SODO with no problem. I rode in the cab in his truck on the way down. Great guy, down to earth, loves motorcycles.
Can’t ask for more, unless he owned a teleporter.

Tim is amazing. When I have to have my motorcycle transported somewhere I don’t even look anywhere else. I simply call Tim. He is prompt and always on time. Tim is also very carefully with your bike loading it and unloading as if it were his own. One reviewer mentioned that Tim helped him start his bike and was truly happy about it. I can totally see that. If all services were like this it would be unreal. This is my first review on the internet, I had to do it.
A big thank you Tim, your business card is always in the pocket of my motorcycle jacket because I know I can count on you.

Tim is awesome! He is very easy to talk to and you’ll feel confident that your motorcycle or scooter is in good hands with him. The towing process was very quick and he handles it all. You will be glad you called Tim for your towing needs!

If you ever need towing services for your bike, Tim is your guy! I have a Yamaha Vino that hadn’t been ridden in a couple of years, and was ready to get it fixed. He was super friendly, professional and fast. I can’t recommended his services enough.

This was the quickest, safest and least expensive way to transfer my bike!!!
So freaking impressed with his hydraulic system truck, it worked just like a flat bed. His securing system latches onto the triple tree of the fork, standing upright. Steady as a rock, was my bike, with nothing potentially damaging.
Communication was impeccable. We chatted about what I needed and where I was, along with where I needed to go. Finishing up another client, he told me 45 minutes and he arrived promptly.
Having read that he was also a motorcycle guy, we chatted about Twinline and Backfire Moto. Overall, just a personable guy who prides in his ‘badass Unilocal reviews’… which is what I told him they were.
As a personal who has been restoring a 1976 cb550, it’s a relief to know Tim’s around to save the day.

Tim is awesome! He came and picked me and my bike up within an hour of my calling and drove us both to the shop. I’m pretty new to the area so he gave me a lot of great advice and we talked a lot about delicious vegan food. Couldn’t have asked for better service and at a great rate too!

And with all things Sexxy, Beautiful AND Italian — you must afford the cost of maintenance! You must wine her! You must dine her! You must use premium fluids and pay ridiculous shop rates to keep her happy! Thus, was the case with my Ducati 748 Desmoquattro.
Unfortunately for me, the upkeep of such a beautiful diva was getting outta hand! Come on, I’m a low-​maintenance kinda guy. I like sweats on the weekends, women with little make-​up, and enjoy a bag of pork rinds from time to time. I faced the day every motorcycle rider dreads — the realization that you’re gonna have to sell your baby. *sigh*
Being the off-​season of riding in Seattle, my bike was not mechanically sound to ride. I needed to tow my bike to a storage facility where a mechanic friend would take care of her and later sell her. So, my search for a motorcycle tow company brought me to Unilocal.
Ahhhh Unilocal… I love thee and your band of awesome Unilocalers! Lowside’s 5 star ratings urged me to call, and Tim’s stellar reputation is well-​earned!
Pros:
— Gave me a rate better than two other companies I received quotes from.
— Lighting quick service! Tim said he’d be at my location in 30 minutes at 2:30pm. I received a call at 2:28pm saying he was outside my building and ready to tow! No joke!
— His towing rig is top quality, secure, and extremely mobile. He easily parked in an alley space next to my building downtown.
— Tim is a motorcycle guy! He’s not a butt scratching, scab picking tow truck driving mongoloid. He gets it. He gets motorcycles. He’ll take care of your baby. In a short time meeting him — we talked about his 8 motorcycles, my love of Italian bikes, his Moto Guzzi, my old Aprilia, him being from Maine, me from the Bay Area. Tim’s good people.
— He also has the most excellent mustache in all of Seattle. Its true.
Cons:
None — Seriously, I have none.
If you want your motorcycle towed reliably, safely, at a fair price, by a non-​butt scratching motorcycle enthusiast w/​the most excellent mustache in all of Seattle… stop wasting your time getting quotes from other towing companies… hire Tim.

The BEST towing service and crew I have ever experienced. Tim is professional, friendly and prompt. He treated both myself and my bike (Nevada 750) with respect. Lowside Motorcycle T&A is also competitive as far as pricing goes.
All round the highest recommendation I can give!
Good job Tim — you have my business.

After picking up some new gear for a Seahawks game at the Team Shops by Qwest Field, I hop on my bike. After righting it off the side stand, I notice the ease at which I was able to put both feet, flat on the deck. At first I thought: «Wow, did my legs get suddenly longer? Cool!» (I’m Asian). As I am back pedaling, I notice I’m having to put more mustard than usual in moving my 450lb bike solely with my legs. Something is amiss.
So I put the side stand down, hop off to find out what’s going on and like a swift punch to the gut, I notice I’ve got a rear tire puncture. Crap. Fortunately I had put Tim/​Lowside Motorcycle T&A on speed dial after seeing his one-​off Toyota Taco out about in town.
Tim immediately picked up the phone (to my surprise considering it was nearly 7pm on a busy Friday evening). Told me he wasn’t on a job at that moment and his ETA, coming from his base out of Wallingford, would be 15min.
Primus was headlining a show across the street and there were no shortage of inebriated woo-​hooing looky-​lous asking what kind of bike it was. Picking up on my sense of urgency, Tim got my bike locked and loaded on his rig with no hesitation and we were on our way.
Tim /​Lowside Motorcycle T&A is an absolute lifesaver. He’s got a very cool rig in an exclusive niche market and comes highly recommended by just about every two-​wheel shop in town. Tim is knowledgeable, super friendly and is totally sympathetic when it comes to getting your wheels back on the road. Awesome rates and available 9am to 9pm.
When it comes to your bike or scoot, there is absolutely no reason to gamble with conventional towing companies, go with Lowside!
