Got to me fast when I had an unexpected no start issue. Towed my heavy truck to my house for a very reasonable rate. Driver was also very friendly on the ride home. Hopefully I dont need a tow again, but if I do, Ill be calling them

Had a great experience with Gates Towing & Service! All the staff was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable.Had my truck towed to Gates and a great mechanic quickly find the problem and I was on my way in no time. Got my oil changed while I was there. I also have to mention the very cozy seats to sit in while I was waiting.

Very Pleased with Gates towing. They were professional and took the stress away from knowing my vehicle was going to be towed 2 1/2 hours away. Used them for the tow to and from the dealership. Highly recommend them! Thanks Tony for all you do!

We returned from a weeklong vacation to a car that would not start at the Park and Fly hotel in which we had stayed. Gates Towing service was exceptional. The problem turned out not to be the battery but something minor. The driver had us on our way in minutes and refused any compensation for his efforts. All this on the July 4th weekend. Thank you!

Late last night, our Mini Cooper got swallowed up by a pothole in CNY. It blew out the tire and left us stranded on a busy highway. We called Gates Towing and arranged for a tow and tire replacement. Everyone we talked to - driver, owner, and service manager - were attentive, personable, and professional. Although we hope you or your family never get stuck on the side of a busy road late at night, these are the guys to call if you do!

Car broke down so I called my insurance company’s road side assistance. Was told I would be contacted within a few minutes by Gates Towing. A hour and a half later I had to call my insurance company again. They contacted Gates again and they said someone would be here in 30 minutes. A hour later no one came. I called my insurance company for the third time and they said Gates said it would be another half an hour. I asked the insurance company to cancel Gates and find another Towing company. I would push my car to its destination before using trying to use them again. I wish there was a way to leave zero stars.

The towing staff were fast, professional, and courteous while recovering the vehicle and took the time to explain the details about picking it up. When we called the office they made the pickup simple and provided a discounted tow to the repair yard. Have to say thank you to the owners for going above and beyond to knock off a days worth of charges too!Thanks for doing what you do in such a tough, misunderstood field!

Gates Service is simply a notch above the rest. They do a fantastic job with communicating with the customer throughout the process. Most importantly they are HONEST! the mechanics that work there know what they are doing. With all the craziness going on in 2020, its more important than ever to SUPPORT A LOCAL BUSINESS. Not a big cooperation like pep boys ect... Thank you gates service for taking care of my wifes 2009 chevy Malibu. A++++

Filed a complaint and they lied!Not only did they say he was wearing a mask they said he had disinfectant in the car. Be ware do NOT use this company. If they will lie about health issues imagine what else they would lie about. Tow driver was awful. First he did not wear a mask or even have one in the truck. Second while driving, my insurance adjuster phoned saying in needed to be towed across the street. He screamedI dont work for you! I replied by putting the adjuster on speaker, Its right across the street. He screamed again I dont work for him either . He refused to take the car off the truck saying he owned my car and refused to give me the keys until I spoke to the owner. To the best of my knowledge he has not been fired so be ware.

I used roadside assistance through my insurance provider. Murrays towing was initially assigned, showed up and the technician was inexperienced and left without helping. I called a second time and Gates got assigned and I could not have been happier. They showed up right away. Knew what they were doing, got the issue resolved quickly and Brendan was super polite and professional. Highly reccomend them!!

We called at 4pm to have a car towed at 6 and they were over 3 hours late when the truck driver called us he said he was still another half hour away so we had to cancel because we couldnt wait anymore. Their excuse was a huge accident on 390, but we called well before that took place so its pretty clear they care more about money than they do about customer service. Definitely will not be using them in the future.Edit: They did their best to amend the situation after the fact so we do appreciate that. It doesnt negate a bad first impression, but it was nice that they reached out regarding the oversight.

Always wonderful customer service, great work on my car, friendly, generous, and trustworthy! Tim and the owner Tony are always there to help me when I show up with my old beater. They go out of their way for me and after being in Rochester for ten years and having gone everywhere else for service and being screwed over by everyone else, I only trust Gates Towing and repair with my car.

These folks are legitimate, professional, and honestly all-around pleasant to work with, every time. While Ive never met Jim Fonzi, Ive been a fan of Gates Towing and the former Gates Automotive for perhaps a decade now. Im sure there are other great towing firms and collision shops around; but Ive never felt inclined to look elsewhere. Thanks guys!

Had to call to get my truck towed. I called in a day before I had it towed to get pricing. Both times they were super professional and courteous. They told me the cost before hand and when the truck arrived, the driver was so friendly and professional and was really efficient. Was so impressed. Anytime I need a tow I know who to call and who to recommend.

My stepdad lives in Philly and bought an auction vehicle and some equipment attachments locally- I had heard Gates Towing had a great reputation so I recommended them; he arranged from Philly for them to drop these things off at my house. He said setting it up was flawless and easy. I was in contact with Tony Jr during the drop off process and he was awesome! Very friendly and personable, flexible, communicative, and experienced. Everything arrived in expected condition and he made sure they were exactly where I needed them in my driveway.Thank you guys so much, we truly appreciate it!

If you like supporting small local businesses, Gates Towing, Service & Fleet is a family owned and operated business in Rochester. With 24 hour towing and roadside and a mechanical department, they can not only tow your vehicle when it breaks down they can repair it as well! I would recommend this great team to anyone!

Review №44

Tim, the man who towed my car, was kind, patient, and caring. He reassured me that everything would be okay, and he made sure I was warm and comfortable in the truck. Tony was very helpful in making sure I understood what was wrong with my car and how much it would cost to repair. He kept me up to date with how the repair was going, and he was fair and honest with the pricing. He let me know about another issue with the car that we will need to get fixed, but he explained that it could wait at this time. The entire company made a crummy situation better by making sure I was comfortable and confident in the process. They gave me a ride home so I wouldnt have to sit at the shop all day. They even got the repair completed the same day.

Hats off to the team at Gates Towing! My profound thanks especially to both Tony Ardillo, Sr. & Tony Ardillo, Jr. for whom I am eternally grateful. Not only did they treat me with the utmost courtesy and respect, but they helped me out of a difficult situation with professionalism and kindness. They went above and beyond when they were under no obligation to do so. I highly recommend them to anyone and I will never take my business anywhere else!!

Best customer service experience from any tow company ever. While my situation could have been worse it was bad enough, and Tony was very sympathetic and quickly worked to get me back to my family.

My insurance road side assistance hired Gates Towing to help me as my car broke down on 490 Saturday as I was heading home. The driver Bill was very professional as well looking out for my safety along the highway. I was kept posted on delays and he arrived right on time as the estimated time arrival stated he would. If I ever need to get a tow with my road side assistance I would sure hope they hire this company again.
