If I could give zero stars, I would. Star Towing towed my rental truck even though I was parked in a clearly marked guest parking spot. To make matters worse, when I got the truck back, several of my tools were missing from the back items I use for work. Not only was this an unnecessary and predatory tow, but the theft on top of it makes this company completely untrustworthy. Dealing with them was frustrating and unprofessional from start to finish. Save yourself the headache and avoid doing business with Star Towing at all costs. Price assessment Overpriced Services Service not listed

I'd leave zero stars if I could for "Star" Towing. My son parked my car in a place near Belmont Park on a Saturday night, it was towed by Star Towing to their yard. I went to pick it up the next day, which would be LESS than even 1 day, but they consider it one day even if they were to tow the car at 11:59PM, as midnite is the cut off point. So they considered that TWO days of storage, including an additional gate fee because it's the weekend even though they are open 24 hours and someone is always there. It's not like they had to make a special trip to open the gate. So, basically for less than a day, I was charged $486.45, even though the law states that they cannot charge more than the City of San Diego charges to tow vehicles. SDPD towing fees are $178 for a car of my type, and $41 a day for storage, which even if there were additional charges for being the weekend, would still make it FAR less than I was gouged by this company. Clearly this is a rip off and there's little you can do as they hold your car hostage, except to pay the fees they ask, and then take them to small claims and/or write a bad review. The time and energy to try to recover their overcharge makes the latter the most feasible. *** Not sure how to leave a reply to your response so I'll just add on to my review: Though I appreciate you responding to my review, you really didn't address anything I wrote. Regardless of whether it's SDPD or the CHP that "approve towing rates", the fact remains that you did not post what those rates are and that no towing company should EXCEED those rates, and I would just love for you to explain how you figure that charging $486.45 for a few hours in your yard is acceptable? And I left out the fact that my son actually called you right after you towed the car, and your employee quoted him around $238, which is bad enough. But to then have you charge over TWICE that when we got up there to pick it up is just shady business practice. Perhaps I should actually take this case to small claims as I am certain I am not the only one that you've done this to. Price assessment Overpriced Services Car towing

I wish I could give zero stars. My car was towed while it was parked in my own apartment’s reserved parking space, and I got it back with the underside scraped. That’s insane. This ridiculous company didn’t even bother to verify anything before towing someone’s car from a reserved spot. How can a business like this even exist?

⭐ 1-Star Review for Star Towing Company This company is absolutely terrible. They tow cars just to make money, without putting up any proper signs or warnings. It feels like they’re running a scam rather than providing a real service. There’s no clear notice where they tow from, and they don’t care about people’s situations — just about collecting towing fees. Very unprofessional and unfair business practices. I would never recommend Star Towing to anyone.

This place is a straight up scam not only do they have some lazy rude woman answering the phone but they charged me a whole day of storage for only having my car for 15 minutes. Not to mention told us we couldn’t get our stuff out of our car because we weren’t last registered owner but yet sent us the lien sale paperwork. Doesn’t make any sense they would legally I would think have to send that paperwork to the last registered owner which they know who that is but yet they sent it to us. Now if that isn’t enough proof to get our belongings than I don’t know what is. I know all tow company’s are garbage but this one takes the cake.
