Got my car impounded (not fun), the man I spoke to was so helpful and genuinely tried to make my life easier. First time ever getting a ticket/towed so I was in tears; the guy on the phone was very kind to me and made sure my car was dropped off and waiting for me after hours because I needed it urgently. 10/10 customer service even tho the price was sooooo crazy lol.

They charged me $3,000 for a tow truck for 5 miles. Everyone in the office is angry, they have their own payment system that charged an additional $90 for some incomprehensible site fee. They don't accept any other transfers. They're just scammers!

My van broke down and Tuminos came to pick me up. Being unfamiliar with the area, they towed me to their garage on THEIR recommendation then denied taking my van upon arrival. They charged me the full amount for the tow and I then had to call a second company to tow me back to a garage that was walking distance from where I broke down.

Only one person was very helpful, wish I could remember his name. He deserves a 5 star rating. The owner cares for nothing but his wallet and is very rude ! Where I come from, we would call his attitude little man's syndrome .

Inconveniently located near you .🙄 After pulling in for a trailer DOT inspection, I asked a your driver where to check in at... "Well the procedure is step one, park in the street, step two check in in the front." So item one, this is New Jersey and unless there is a sign saying that street parking is okay OR when I called for directions someone had TOLD ME to park along the street, I gladly would have. I'm sorry I don't have that snarky New Jersey accent that says "AYA I'M TRYNA TO DRIVE OVER HYAERE." Truckers... From Vince Lombardi Rest Area// I-95 North & stay RHLane to take i-95 North exit TOWARD US 46 GW bridge then// exit 68 & R@ Challenger Rd// R@ Emerson Rd// at top of Hill L@ (Lgt) @ Teaneck Road// L@ Winant Ave// Tuminos LHS (TRUCKERS park along street & check in @ front?)

I went to this place to pickup my vehicle after It was towed. I wasn’t there when they towed my vehicle so I nicely asked how the vehicle was towed and if it was winched properly onto the bed. I have an AWD car so I was worried it was towed improperly and damaged which has happened to me before. I heard one of the workers there named “Jimmy” in the employees only room talking badly about me and making fun of my simple question for wanting to know how the vehicle was towed. I called him out and he then came to my face and started yelling and talking badly again. Very unprofessional behavior from him, I expect him to be fired for the poor customer service. I need their management to take corrective action over his poor behavior. If you are going to talk badly about a customer and make fun of them at least do it when they leave and not while they are still there trying to conduct business.

April 9, 2024

This place completely sucks, I had an accident and I was forced to work with him because the colic s officers sends the cars there but they are horrible and they are so improffecional, they get the business from. The police department and don t let people choose who they call and since he works with them he gets all of them so he don t need to be nice because we have to work with him no matter what but they are horrible, they make you go to a website to pay and they website is broken but is because this way they don t pay taxes on that the money is because this way they achieve yih %3 percent too for this and then they don t even move the cars they make you love it out and my car had scratches and even had food trash from when they had Doritos in my car and even a soda can, then after he made move my car he was telling me that I was slow and to hurry up, that guy was mean and so mean and was screaming when he was telling us, if you are smart don t put a dollar there. Horrible company and treats people like a rear human part. Think it twice. Or maybe even a few more time

April 9, 2024

This business is the most rude, unprofessional, obnoxious nasty place I have ever gone into. The older man that was helping us was literally cursing at customers over the phone and in store. He literally physically shoved at our tow truck driver as he passed him. I ve never been more horrified or seen more abuse in a business facility. It was unlike anything I d ever seen before, in the worst way. It s shocking that they have a single customer. I know they don t have repeat clients. That I can guarantee.

Tumino Towing Inc located at ridgefield park NJ - address 37 Emerson St, Ridgefield Park, NJ 07660, United States, is the worst company to ever deal with. My driver bumper unit on the bumper truck fell off the trailer and we contacted them as well as the emergency service to assist my driver to mount it back on the trailer. They mounted the bumper unit back on my trailer and I get a $11,000 bill for a 2 hours job. Tumino Towing Inc is stating that it is the Ridgefield Park Police Department Ridgefield Park Police Station that set this price for them for come out in emergency period. This simply means the Ridgefield Park Police Department gets a cut from my $11,000 bill. I am writing this post to get the Ridgefield Police Department to defend this claim from the Towing company. Please share this post and like it friends. I need to get this post out there. KBS America East Wxtv Channel 41 Ridgefield Park, NJ Local News

Service took a while but the worst part was when we were told that they were just going to tow our car to the nearest parking lot and not to our mechanic which it was literally 5 minutes away because they were busy and charged us $190.00. It took less than 1 minute to take our vehicle out of the GSP. Then we needed to call another towing company. It was ridiculous! This is a scam as they are the only towing company allowed on state highways. Amazing!

Customer service in history! Called Tumino s after a flat tire on route 80, Said that they were on their way when the worker from Tumino showed up he didn t even try to speak to me he spoke the kind state trooper that stopped to help me. The worker left without asking if I had someone else on the way because the state trooper told him I didn t have a spare. When I called the office the person who picked up had the worst attitude and said you are on your own and hung up. Don t bother even calling the worst

If I can give 0 stars I would ! Total rip off . I called them and was told they have no trucks available all day even though I was less the a mile from there yard. The cop on the seen called right after me and was told the tow truck will be there in 10 mins . This is because its extra $$$$$ for a police tow. i ask for a price before hand because everyone else in the are was around 700-1000 dollars . The driver directed me to the dispatch then the dispatch directed me to the driver. $1650 later and a extra 3 percent because you have to pay on the website. as i was trying to pay I was threating by the driver I have 10 mins to pay or he was taking my truck to the pound!!!! wooow
