The mechanic Michael really needs to repair his attitude. He doesnt seem to know the vehicle hes working on and then blames everyone else for his mistakes. One of the rudest and least understanding people Ive ever met. Its a shame he works there because the rest of the staff has always been fantastic. It really tarnishes the professionalism of the place.

This company is scamming college students, the very students who are supporting the community. My son was towed from the lot where he lives. He had a parking pass and his vehicle was registered for that lot. The lady on the phone was very rude to my son when he asked her if he could get in his car to show them his pass was in fact on display, and told him for $200 he could do just that. It’s a crime that they are towing legally parked and registered cars from these students, and something needs to be done about it.

They prowl on weekends, especially busy weekends when parking is much harder to find; they try to find as many cars as they can. Make sure you park somewhere you are allowed to cause they will find you.

I’m sure Curtis Towing is a good company! I bet they come when you call! Great service im sure! Surely not the scum of the earth!!! Not a chance they try to tow you and make you pay cash for not towing you! He is so kind guys seriously!! Very professional company! Curtis definitely is cool at parties!!!! Guys stop he’s actually a really good guy.

They will tow your ride then not let you get anything out of it unless you sign the title over to them and pay 100$ on top of giving them your vehicle

Ive seen many reviews already speaking of this. 130 dollars for him not to tow or 180 at the lot. Strong arming, demanding cash. Still $130 because he already moved our car a few inches to the left. This company is a thorn in our community just as prokos is.

I Saw Curtis towing approach my vehicle, when I ran up I was told I needed to give up $130 cash or he was taking my car and it would be $180 at the lot.A- Curtis towing does not set those prices PUCO does.B- A drop charge should have been $65 and I legally have a credit option there, they can’t demand cash.C- max Initial lot Price is set at $156.95 if it goes back to the lot. So again making up there own prices, probably poaching various parking lots (as I had only been parked for 15-20 min in this empty lot) and strong arming the college community

Great place, family oriented, reasonable prices, and timely manner.

Illegal towing. Brand new car, was trying to put my parking pass into my vehicle when i was approached and told my car was being towed bc i didnt have a pass. ( was in my hand as i sat inside my car) was told if i didnt want to be towed i had to hand him $130 in cash that moment. He hooked up my vehicle and towed it with the parking pass hanging in the window. I called the office was told now it was $180 cash to come get my car, had a friend drive me. Got into an argument with the guy because my pass was in my window and was told that now it was going to be $200 to get my car out.

You’re better off having someone drive from Columbus than to use these ppl... They take advantage of students.

We were traveling to North Carolina when our pickup decided it would go no further at 1 am. Tried to get four other shops to look into the problem only to be told no room or time available for us. Called Curtis’s and was welcome by a friendly voice and a yes to checking the truck out. Arrived shortly after 8 am, chatted with the employees and enjoyed a cup of coffee. The truck was checked out needing new plugs and a coil, a three hour fix that will put us back on the road today. God is good, and so is Curtis Auto Repair & Towing.

Today on 04/08/21 I have been trying took a family members vehicle and evry towing company that i have talked to was very rude i called Curtis Towing and not only did I have the nicest person he actually offered to help me locate the car if I couldnt so thank you so much Curtis towing you guys are the poo

Towing scam!!Do NOT support these ppl who scam students who support our community!!

The only thing worse than the tow truck drivers attitude was his breath... complete scam charging students $138 for attempting to tow and threatening $180 and tow, if he wasn’t paid cash!!

Excellent Customer Service as always

They came when they said they would and were courteous and opened my car with profesional aptitude. I hd locked myself out. They were nice.

Honest down to earth, trys to help at any problem you may have, and a great service and price.

Scumbags... The tow truck driver is a lowlife who scams young ppl.

If you can avoid speaking on the phone to the people here, do it. I have NEVER dealt with someone at Curtis who is even moderately capable of handling my request without spewing some sort of illiterate explanation for why they are too busy to do so. This is really your only option for towing in Athens. Good luck.

Quick response, super easy to get ahold of.

I dunno about the two negative reviews here but the experience I had was far different. Had an awesome response time and the guy that came to help get my wheel off was probably one of the friendliest strangers Ive ever met. Will definitely recommend to anyone with car trouble.

The guy was polite, up front on the price. Very pleasant.

Quick and friendly service

Curtis Towing Company is the staple of a terrible business. I am a 2 year resident of River Park apartments in Athens, Ohio. Within these two years I have had my vehicle towed without warning twice. On both occasions I had a valid parking pass visible. This company is fraudulent and deserves to be shut down. They are only open 5 days a week (8-5) and only accept cash as a form of payment. This is absurd, and I urge everyone never to use their services.

Thank you curtis towing and all who work there. thank you all for going out of your way to help me with my car.. jumping my battery, calling car dealerships to find someone to help me get my car fixed and finally having to tow it again to a dealership. You all made a bad day better by taking your time to help me.. thank you

Fair honest curious 😊

Athens city ordinance code 7.05.03 no towing charge shall be above $50 effective Jan 1, 2002. Maximum towing fee in the state of Ohio is $90. They repeatedly charge every tow $180 or more. This is an illegal business. That pricing does not change whether its a tow on city property or private property, always $180. I would not even pay this business for a personal tow you may end up in a bad situation. Legal charges need to be brought against this company, but Athens police do not care nor will they pursue as it is illegally making them money. I have never been towed but Ive done research and Ive seen people that live here who have.

Truck was stuck in the mud...my own mistake. Called Curtis Towing...tow truck arrived within the hour. Friendly and efficient...truck back on driveway in 15 minutes...very reasonable rate. Highly recommend Curtis Auto Repair and Towing.

Charge their own rates, illegally tow vehicles that are legally parked and force them to either take them to court or hold their vehicles hostage. These crooks should be in prison.

Thank you so much Curtis Towing! The nicest people I have met from Athens, Hands Down.

Dont deal with them. Not friendly and overpriced.

They charged me $243 when they towed my car. They dont make change, and they require you to pay in cash. The legal limit as per the ohio revised code is $90. Do with that information what you will. Im assuming these good reviews are a fake from all the hate Ive heard from basically anyone that has used them for car repair or has actually been towed by them.

Charges outrageous prices to recover. Also agressively accused me of stealing their keys when going to pick up a friends car and they didnt see them on the counter by the door, they had put them in their pocket.

The people at this place are absolute white trash. They treated us with so much disrespect. It cost $256 for us to retrieve two vehicles that had been towed and they accepted cash only and only gave us 20 minutes to come up with the money (in cash!) before they were “leaving for the night”. The business smells like cigarettes and you can tell they aren’t clean people. I’d like to know where all the money goes and why they accept cash only! WHITE TRASH.

This company towed my car, and they were negligent and banged up my back side! They were rude and called me a smart ass. They are ignorant and racist. I will be pursuing further actions. DO NOT USE THEM EVER! they are the lowest of the low. Pure trash.

Awesome service for my 2006 VW Jetta. They were very honest and able to do my repair work for 1/4 of the price I was going to be charged at VW dealership. I WILL be returning for any future repair work.***Id encourage those reading these reviews (as I did) to keep in mind the derogatory remarks made are likely from angry individuals that were parked illegally and towed. (Which is no fault of Curtis Towing.)

Great place, great people

Nice guys. Helpful and friendly.

Very good at what they do

I have been taking my vehicles to Curtis for years, they always give me an honest appraisal of what needs done and they dont mark up the price of parts.

Nothing but a scam. They give local small business owners a bad name.

Very professional, experienced and timely.

They fixed my Jeep Cherokee! They are friendly and TRUSTWORTHY!

Worst place ever charged 180 dollars, to pick up my car that was only towed and on there lot for less then 3 hrs, cash only, and also they over charge there storage witch is 40 and cannot be over 20 withing 24hrs they are a scam business

Rude and lazy. Dont waste your time calling theyre always too busy.

Completely negligent! They are rude and will damage your vehicle! Do not use them

Wouldnt come to unlock my car unless I had cash on me. Asked if theyd follow to bank after and wouldnt do that.

Beware, they steal your vehicle and then charge you extra expenses to get your car out of hostage to the tune of $180.

This business seems more like a shakedown scam than a business

What a horrible company

Lazy and rude. Dont waste your time call someone else.

Arrives very quickly, great guy

Trusted and reliable

Definition of uncool: these guys

The worst ever

Totally scam
