Skip’s Everett Towing

Thank u sooo much to skip towing you guys are w out a doubt the coolest towing company ever and iv delt w a few also loving the chickens & gardens and signs awsome place friendly service thank you.

On October 29, I called Skip’s Towing as my car key broke in the ignition as I planned to leave a business in Everett. Being newly widowed I felt somewhat stranded and relied on the towing driver to help. Chad Anderson, the driver, was so pleasant and knowledgeable and helped to remove the key. He then placed it back in the ignition with the fob close by. He stated that he did not need to tow the car and suggested that I head right to the dealer to fix it. After all that he only charged me half price of the mandatory service call amount. I cannot state enough how much I appreciated his honesty, helpfulness and kindness. I would not hesitate to use Skip’s again or recommend it highly to my friends.

If we could give zero stars we would. We had a car issue that had to do with oil leaking, NOTHING electrical. We called our Roadside assistance through Safeco Insurance and Skips came out to take our car to a local Repair Shop. The Driver of the tow truck put the key in the ignition and left it there to put the car in neutral while he put the truck up on the platform. The Driver DIDN’T Take the key out or turn the car off while taking it to the shop who knows how much later. The repair shop noticed and turned it off but by then the battery had been COMPLETELY drained. They tried to charge it overnight and tried 2 ways but the battery was KILLED and couldn’t be charged. The Owner of Skips Everett Towing, Dana Underwood, REFUSED to replace the battery that was killed by their driver or even look at it in a timely manner when it’s an issue CREATED BY THEM. We’ve reached out to Safeco to let them know a vendor they use is shady and shouldn’t be used in the future.
NEVER USE SKIPS EVERETT TOWING!

TOW TRUCK BANDITS. TOW TRUCK BANDITS.
My Fiancé had a flat with my car on the Northbound I-​5 in Everett. I called my roadside provider AMA. My rep took my info and said she would call back with details. 15 minutes later she called me back saying Al’s Old Town Service would be out in 40 to put the spare on. Skip’s shows up in 20 and tells my fiancé that they were instructed to tow the car to the local Toyota dealer by my roadside assistance company, because they can’t change tires on a freeway. She put him on the phone with me and I asked if he worked for Old Town. Guy said they own 8 companies and he didn’t know. said he was instructed to tow it. Couldn’t tell me by who. Gave some weird name.
I called AMA up and explained this situation. They put me on hold while they called Old Town. Came back saying that this was a scam and that Old Town had a driver enroute. So then the Tow truck driver acted like he had paperwork, which didn’t have any of the vehicle information under closer inspection by my Fiancé. He took my plate number and Vin and said he was going to bill it to ??? anyway — then left. 5 minutes later Al’s Old Town shows up and changed the spare.
Becareful of these guys. Bandits tow and once you’re hooked you are at their mercy.

Holy cow what a rip-​off! Get this: My friend, an older gentleman, who not only is a Christian lay-​minister but also a new US citizen (he was a refugee from the middle east) not to mention, just lost a child in a car crash, had to get a tow from his minimal paying job in Kirkland (a convenience store attendant) to Everett on a Wed. late night. He went to claim his car on Fri. early afternoon and was told he had to pay for the weekend as well. The total was over $ 600! The man who ‘helped’ him was terribly rude when my friend questioned him over the cost saying, «I don’t have time for this.» UNBELIEVABLE! Take care with this one!
