Had a sudden failure on my car and Kinetic was Johnny on the spot. Friendly and courteous. Definitely recommend. Don’t believe the bogus out of town TikTok reviews.

December 4, 2024

One of their employee almost caused an accident and instead of apologizing he punched a woman of color with her child in the car. With employees like this representing your company, it’s no wonder why your company is only rated 3star. No morals No respect! Shame on you all!!!

December 1, 2024

Threatening each person who leaves a bad review due to their experience with your business is childish. You are only showing why your business should not be operating. You, should do better.

Best towing company I've ever used. Great employees! I think all the negative reviews are spam and haven't actually used kinetic before.

White glove concerige service exceeded expectations. I've had a lot of slices in my day, but Kinetic takes the cake. Without a doubt, Kinetic is the one for the job.

Sped in a school zone, only to catch up to the car in front of them and tailgate and honk for a long distance of time. Only to pull over and assault a woman and try to destroy her phone. All captured on video AND there was a child in the vehicle. There are so many other tow companies out there. Do yourself a favor and use someone else. You can thank me later.

Kinetic Towing towed my bosses vehicle for us when we got 2 flats. They were very responsive showing up almost immediately. The driver was very professional and made sure to take good care of the vehicle. Would definitely recommend for any towing needs.

Excellent service! I would give 10 stars if allowed. Eric and Kinetic service team came to rescue my dead car while no other towing companies were willing to do so in Ballston spa - Malta area during the 2022 Labor Day weekend. Professional and responsible, super friendly and hassle free experience. I would highly recommend their service and Eric indeed is 💯! As he said, see your car in better terms next time!

Called to ask a question about picking up a vehicle and the person on the other end of the phone would not let me speak and told me i had to figure out another number to call and he did not have it. He hung up on me before i barely told him my name. 940am Wed. Sept. 6th 2023. I have never been spoken to like this and i have worked in the transport business for 10 years. We are a transporter coming to pickup a vehicle sold to a dealer and this is the address given to us.

Today I called Kinetic Towing because my car would not shift after dropping my son off for daycare. I was blocking traffic, and had already tried to fix the problem but was unable to do so and needed to get out of the way and to work. They sent a tow truck immediately, but the person on the phone listened to the problem I was having and sent me a video that helped me fix it myself. This allowed me to get to work, and not actually need a tow truck.

Friendly and accommodating! We needed to reclaim some belongings from our vehicle and arrived just as the workers were pulling out and locking their gate for the day. They were so friendly and accommodating and, with a smile and a positive attitude, they reopened their gate and allowed us the time we needed to do what we had to do. Were very thankful for good people like these!

Earlier today, my vehicle s steering wheel and brakes had locked up on me in mid transit as I were driving with my husband traveling back home nearly an hour away which had caused me to lose control of my vehicle and coast off to the side of a busy traffic road with barely no shoulder without being in or causing a fatal accident. Although I am covered under my vehicle s warranty as well as have full coverage on my vehicle which includes emergency road side assistance , I tried exploring both options of seeking reasonable and immediate emergency road side assistance being that my vehicle had completely disabled itself from functioning other than my hazard lights. As my husband and I waited patiently for nearly 5 hours for our emergency road side assistance tow through our insurance company that never assisted us as we waited to nightfall, in the pitch darkness and cold pouring rain on the side of the road, we ended up meeting a young man named, Nathaniel whom had stopped to assist us and highly referred this towing company in whom he s employed and whom spoke very highly of his employer, Jim after explaining our dilemma. Long story short, we called Jim and spoke to him and he was very pleasant in assisting us within 10 to 15 minutes. He sent a very pleasant young man as well by the name of Dale whom not only towed our vehicle but got my husband and I safely back home This company and its employees are a reflection of itself on Excellent Quality in Customer Service and especially during this pandemic and I would greatly utilize them again and highly recommend this company to anyone in need in the area that s in need of tow. Thank you again, Nathaniel , Jim and Dale ! May God continue to Bless, Ya ll

dishonest business. charged me an outrageous price of $267 for towing my car. When I objected the price, the man said he told me the ballpark price before the service, which he never did. My friend, who was also at the site of the towing, also confirmed that he never gave me a ballpark price. The mans face became really red as he was caught in a lie but of course insisted that he did. Avoid this business and look for a company that doesnt lie.

Called up to have my dead car towed to a dealership. They showed up 15min after calling and actually got my car to start not requiring a tow and saving me money. Great experience from person on the phone and followed up with the same level of great service from the person they sent. Hopefully I dont have the need for their service, but if I do they will be the 1st place I would call.

March 19, 2020

Very unprofessional. Discriminating my nationality. Yelling like someone was cutting him. Only after I calmly told him that I don t need his attitude, and that he needs to act like a professional because he was the owner. If you guys need your car towed, this would not be your choice. This is the worst facility I had to deal with.

Had the pleasure of working with this towing company recently to bring my Mercedes from Mechancville to Cohoes. They were very friendly and professional from start to finish. I couldnt be at the address when the car was dropped off. When they arrived there they called me to verify it was in fact the correct place since the drop off location didnt look quite right, (I had the car dropped at my deceased brothers closed auto shop and lot which hasnt been occupied in a few years therefore it does have an abandoned look to it, however, we still own the property but I did completely understand their hesitation) Their concern for the safe drop off location of my vehicle was much appreciated. The best part is, the price to tow was hands down very very reasonable. I wouldnt hesitate for a second to use their services again.

Called 2 other tow companies and they couldnt do the job

The website says they service Brunswick, I was stuck off the side of the road and when I called they said they dont service Brunswick. The man on the phone said their in Mechanicville, and dont service Brunswick. I have family in Mechanicville and Im from Brunswick, it takes me 15 minutes to get to their house. If you didnt want to come out and help at 11:45 at night then just say that, I would understand it more then you telling me you dont service someone 15 minutes away. Thanks for the false advertising and miss leading website.

Was charged about $593 for an unnecessarily long tow of about 15 miles. The tow choice was not ours but the state police as we were busy going to urgent care to get my wife checked out medically. Charges included a towing charge, administrative fee, cleanup fee even through no cleanup was required. $375 charge for just the tow, not including mileage. Full on price gouging. This will be followed up on through the better business bureau. Whatever you do, dont use this tow service. Pictures of the bill to be added later.

They have the worst customer service. After they towed my vehicle they asked for my driver s license to make a photocopy. Next day I noticed they never returned my license. I called the next day and the female that answer the phone said that there is nothing she could do...I drove to their office (unannounced) and knocked on their door and there was one of their drivers watching TV. He first said that they did not have my driver s license, but after I insisted somehow he found it. I usually dont write any negative reviews, but this people just have the worst service.
