Milne Towing Services

Very unprofessional- Over an hour late without any updates and later called to say a tow would be several hundred dollars more than originally quoted. Highly do not recommend Milne or Cal-Nevada Towing

They must be Milneionaires charging these prices.. I was charged $150 by Richard to get one backpack out of my vehicle because it was "outside of normal business hours", even though he was there and the door was open.. You know you're getting screwed when the 60 year old tow truck driver is wearing squeaky clean Calvin Klein shoes.. Cost me over $700 total for 1 hour 15 minutes of towing and about 30 hours of impound. There is another driver there named Rich who is actually a good guy and tried to help me get the costs down, but a manager named Joe refused to budge on the extra $150 they charged me.

I called for a tow and was quoted a reasonable price. I had to make some financial arrangements to make this work, and when I called back, in less than an hour, a different person answered the phone. I explained who I was and that I had called earlier. He pulled up my information and quickly said, "Oh, so sorry, sir, for your troubles. I see you need to go 114 miles. The total cost will be $4,780." I said, "NO! That is not the amount I was quoted. I was told it would cost $1458!!" He said, "That's the price. What time do you want my driver there?" I chose NOT to use this company. I found four other companies that charge anywhere from $1600 to $1900.

The tow estimate was 3 hours and ended up needing to wait a few extra hours before the truck arrived. Cal-Nevada towing has much better service and communication.

Out of state tourists visiting Truckee to spend our money locally during Truckee Thursday. Arrived around 12:30 pm to see the town and stay until the vendors arrived. Paid for parking until 6 pm. Local police called Milne Towing to tow our rental car at 3:10 pm because, unknown to us, we were in a parking lot where the food vendors would be setting up their tents. It took Milne towing exactly 30 minutes from the time of the call until they returned to their shop with our car. Exactly 2 hours passed until we arrived to reclaim our car. Milne Towing held our car hostage until we paid them $465.00! Highway robbery (literally)! What a nice racket between the local police and the towing company to rob from the tourists!! Employee (Richard) from Milne Towing, refused to lower the fee and/or
