Bauman’s Tow Service Inc

I have not had this kind of awesome service in a very very long time. Bauman’s Tow Service is overwhelmingly the best.
Stuck out in Riverside, (sadly) our insurance company who supposedly furnishes tow service left us high & dry. Told us to «call back Monday». Really? The accident was Friday!
Went on Unilocal & Bauman’s was the first one up. I called and Ronnie answered. Gave me up-​front, firm information. Over-​the-​phone estimate on towing us nearly 50 miles to OC. Showed up as promised and charged as promised. No hidden jack-​me-​around rates or talk.
Went back on Unilocal to rate and saw that they were CLOSED when I called in the first place! Omg, are people still this good? I am overwhelmingly grateful.
Don’t know the driver’s name, the receipt says GB. He & my son spent some quality time yaking it up during the two-​hour drive to Orange County. What a wonderful man. My faith in humanity is restored!
Thank you everyone at Bauman’s Towing.

For those who need a tow, whether your insurance pays for it or not, I would highly recommend Bauman’s. Sherri was great on the phone, taking all my information and graciously giving me a quote.
I live in San Diego and bought a truck in Riverside that did not run and needed to be towed 100 miles to my place. I though of hiring a local towing outfit from SD, but they were almost $ 200 more for the same service.
When I was ready, Gary responded, took my info of where the truck was to be delivered and delivered the truck in what seemed to be record time.
Honestly, I read and used the reviews on Unilocal to make my decision, that and the fact that Bauman’s was almost $ 200 cheaper.
But this is one of those cases where being cheaper doesn’t mean that you are getting cheap service. If I was ever in the area or knew anyone in the area that needed a tow, Bauman’s would be the first on my list.
My only bad part was that I felt bad for Gary heading back North to Riverside as he was going to catch all the traffic leaving San Diego. The least I could do was write this review in hopes it helps them out since they did me a solid.

Great experience! We don’t have AAA so I googled Riverside Tow and Bauman’s was one of the first to pop up here on Unilocal,so I read the other great reviews, gave them a call, and scheduled a pick up for (unfortunately) Labor Day. They didn’t seem irritated that they would have to work, like most other people would. The guy called me 30 mins before the scheduled time to make sure we were still a go, and he showed up a few mins early. As we were saying our thanks and paying after the tow, I had told him that we had found them through Unilocal,and he had a sense of humor and joked, «Oh yeah, we write those reviews ourselves!» Very friendly and kind people, and I wasn’t charged any more for it being on a holiday, ⁵⁄₅ stars, would use again. Though I’m hoping I don’t have to any time soon, because car troubles are an absolute pain, but it makes it a lot easier when dealing with professional, kind help!

You may not want to have to pull your car off a freeway in the cold dark night… but if you have to, I PRAY that you are near Bauman’s Tow Service. Even after calling AAA and then calling my insurance company, paying Bauman’s out of my own pocket was less expensive than using either of the other two sources. If I could rave louder about how punctual and professional Gary was, how safe I felt knowing my family was in their hands… you would all be def with how loud I would rave. =) From the initial call (after 7 pm I believe), to the drop off at my house (two counties away), I was grateful for their service. Wish they were closer to me, but glad I found them in a pinch! Thanks Gary and the Bauman Tow Service Team!

So on my way to work my car started acting funny, like if I was driving with the brakes engaged. Called Bauman’s up and they were there in about 15 min. Gary was really nice; kinda like a cool uncle. Anyway, he drove me to a car shop and went on his way. The car place couldn’t replicate the problem during their inspection, so I picked the car up; everything seemed fine.
Later that night my fiancée and I drove from Cranford to Vine when the car started acting up again, but this time I could smell something caustic. Suffice it to say, I was stuck again. I called up Bauman’s again and guess who showed up? That’s right, it was Gary again! He must long hours if since he also picked me up in the morning. Again, great guy, and the stories he told me of his towing adventures was pretty good. One thing Gary pointed out to me this time was that the front tires seemed to be hot, and the smell was most likely coming from the brakes. When dropping off the car to the car place, he even gave me an early bird envelope to drop my keys off so I didn’t have to stop by the car place in the morning. If you need a towing service around the Riverside area, these guys are great.

I left my apartment the other morning to find a flat and there was no way I could drive it to America’s Tires without further damage. And there was no way I was going to be able to put on a spare by myself considering that I have trouble putting down my roommate‘s hand brake. Weak thumbs. So I gave Bauman’s a call. They were nice, efficient and cheaper than I expected: $ 83. Not only that but I didn‘t actually have the address of where my car was at and spent a good few minutes trying to explain to the poor man my warped map of Riverside but it was no problem for them at all!

AWESOME! I called around before finally reading the previous review and I was not disappointed. When I called they answered promptly and sounded friendly unlike all other shops. The truck came when they said it was, the driver was extremely professional, and my car was loaded on a flat bed which was a great surprise. My girlfriend and I rode in the tow truck across town while having a friendly conversation with the driver. Bauman’s made having my car towed as fun as it can possibly be. Give them a call! I guarantee you will want to write a positive review as well.

I think it’s sad that no one has reviewed Bauman’s yet!
Such a great establishment, I had a wonderful experience with them yesterday (as wonderful as having my car towed can be!), the man I spoke to on the phone as well as the man who towed me were both very nice.
The price is pretty decent, especially for the service you recieve. Quick, professional employees. The man who towed me even made sure I had a ride back to my apartment after we got my car checked into the mechanic. I’ve never needed a tow before, so he totally helped me out with everything. Gave me a little peace of mind!
A great company.
If you need a tow, call Bauman’s!
