S & R Towing Inc. - Oceanside

This is a long review, but I need to share this in case any other service member or civilian ends up dealing with this company. SR Towing has shown some of the most money-hungry, predatory, and questionable business practices I have ever experienced. My fully paid-off vehicle was towed on Tuesday (For expired registration that I was going to get the day my car was towed, I just got to California 2 weeks prior to this incident) August 26, 2025, at 12:53 PM and released on Friday, August 29, 2025, at 3:30 PM (roughly 74 hours) yet they charged me for four full days of storage. From the start, the pricing was erratic and unreasonable. It began at $450 and jumped to $660 within two hours (so i started screenshotting the price changes). By Wednesday it was $760, Thursday $860. When I went in to

Total scam. They charged 2.5 hours of towing when the actual drive was no more than 20 minutes. $100 per day for storage and $822 just for towing — absolutely insane. This feels like straight-up extortion. They can make up any price they want because you’re stuck and have no choice. Customers are forced to pay whatever amount they decide. It is mafia!!!! Stay away!!!

S&R was responsive and timely in the handling of our tow. We especially appreciate our driver, Roland, who took good care of us and got us and our car safely to our destination, an hour drive away.

My brother in law had a motor home break down and a bad part of hwy 78 going towards julian California. He had Alstate Road side service. The said they couldn't fix anyone to tow him. Then a S&r towing truck told him to talk to the main office. And he called Alstate back and gave them the # And they talk to S & R towing. S&R Heavy Towing came out. Brett was the drive . He was professional and Amazing he got the job done. He knew what he was doing. Made it look easy. He towed our 98 Ford pace Arow. Vision 33ft motor home. And got use off the bad spot o. The road we were on. Thank you Brett. And S&R towing. Yes I recommend them.

Had a great experience with Mackenzie who helped out and luis who got my boat over to Cal Kona. Was less than most other places.
