You are the worst example of a towing company I have ever experienced. You lied to me, abandoned me in the snow and freezing temperatures and then your dispatcher was rude obnoxious and then hung up on me! If you are the owner you need to get a handle on things or you won't be in business much longer!

My car broke down in I-270 on our way to a hockey tournament, and the guys at 40 West were able to respond quickly enough to get us back on the road in enough time to get to the game in Hershey PA. They were fast, friendly and helpful -- both the towing and repair service staff. After determining the repairs cost more than the car did, we had to figure out a way to get rid of it. We thought we'd have to get it towed back to northern VA to do that, but they suggested we donate it to a local trade school with an automotive shop. It was a super easy process, so they saved us time and money with this option. Highly recommend them if you ever need a tow or repairs in Frederick area or surrounding area.

Had a flat tire on early Wednesday morning in the rain and had to have my car towed back to Frederick. The 40 West driver was amazingly quick (270 rush hour traffic), kind, and very professional. The best experience I've ever had using AAA many times in 25+ years! Would highly recommend this business!

Not happy with my experience here at all. I decided to go with them because they had been recommended by AAA. First, they need to work on their communication. I would like a status update by the end of the day on my vehicle. I don't need to know all the details but a quick, "hey we didn't get done your truck and we will be working on it again tomorrow" would be nice. Second, some of the problems seemed suspect. They would give you a problem but if you disagreed with it or asked for a cause and they couldn't really describe it in a clear way. I actually think that a technician there made a mistake hooking something up in my truck and then they turned around and blamed me for the problem. Finally, I got my truck back and then a few nights later realize the tail lights, cabin lights, speedometer, and multiple other things aren't working. This was over the course of a week so maybe they were just tired of dealing with it but I cant believe I got a vehicle back with so many obvious issues. I will not be going back here and I also looking at filing a complaint with AAA so they can investigate if they want to continue recommending this facility. I am usually not one to complain or make a public statement like this but I just couldn't hold my tongue.

Another very happy AAA customer -- we've used their towing services several times and have been repeatedly impressed by their team. They have been universally pleasant, professional, and great to deal with. Highly recommend.

I have also used them for general repairs and cannot say enough about the quality of their work and professionalism of their staff. Also, there location is super convenient and their shop is one of the cleanest Iv'e ever been in with a comfortable waiting area. I would definitely recommend!

Years ago I would've totally recommended this place. Dependable and quick service who has served my parents and entire family for almost 29 years. Recently just had the worst care and experience at 40 west. And will never return again. And I recommend others do the same. I was leaving my job when my tire blew out and 40 west came within a decent time and towed my vehicle to their shop. I was informed that my tire would get changed in the time frame made available at the time. Which was an hour and a half. I settled for it because I had to get my tire fixed. In the time frame they were fixing my tire i stepped outside and made a few phone calls. The receptionist caught my attention to receive my payment. When I went over to pay she recited my total back to me. Which ended up being seemingly large in comparison to what I agreed on before getting the work done. I asked for a copy of the receipt and was asked what I was charged additional. She wasn't able to converse correctly what was the over charge. It wasn't until I continued to question it, that the supervisor stepped in and claimed they were miscellaneous things that needed to be done to the tire. However I purchased a new tire, I wasn't seeking to pay to get my flat tire fixed. They said they had completed other miscellaneous work that they believed needed to be done. Which essentially was done without my consent. And then they wanted me to pay for it after I never agreed to it. I'm a fairly young individual, but I'm definitely not dumb as they may have assumed trying to pulls fast one on me. When all the arguing was done with the supervisor he had the receptionist print me out a new receipt verifying the correct price. It seems as if the supervisor was making the attempt to pull a sneaky move and make me pay more. Definitely unprofessional and uncalled for. It was unnecessary to put up a fight with me about extra services added without my consent. At this point I was extremely livid. I stepped out for a brief moment to contact my mom who has been going to them for years and told her how crappy of an experience I was having. Informing her to contact the head of the company! She also helped me calm down. As I was walking back in I walked back over to the checkout counter and when the receptionist was handing me the receipt I noticed she had on jewelry that looked exactly like the jewelry I had In my car that my mother gave me. A sterling silver ring with a dark colored stone. Not very common to have this exact kind. The detail that holds the stone in place is very delicate and intertwines. It's very rare to obtain one of these rings considering my grandma made it for my mother when she was a little one. And essentially my mother gave it to me. And like an idiot trusting the company that has worked on our cars for over 29 years I trusted them to not steal my personal belongings from my car that I obtained services at their facility. At the time, I had questioned the lady, saying "that's a nice ring you got there." "What kind of ring is it", she was able to spit some b.s for the time being but I had a feeling in the back of my mind that something was up. By the time I paid for my tire and received my car. I made it a priority to double check my car. Where I had left the ring it was not there so before assuming the worse I proceeded to check the entirety of my car. And still it was not where I left it. I started freaking out because I was starting to believe the that gut feeling I had in the store was too true. I called them and told them there was a theft in my car and I was coming back to the store immediately. The supervisor yelled at me and told me his employees are not thieves and i simply told him my jewelry was in my car before services took place. He told me if I came back to the store and continued to "harass" them as he called it that he would call the police. I scoffed at his response and explained to him that it is unbelievable what they are trying to pull on customers. I called the police and unfortunately that day 40 west closed early that the cops were unable to do an investigation. I have yet to return there as well as take the loss of my jewelry. It's extremely unfortunate for myself being an uninformed customer on considering this auto care as dependable considering I have lost a treasure belonging that's been in my family for years. 40 west has lost a good number of its customers considering my whole family is really let down by the poor experience I had here. If you seek auto cares in the area, I recommend everything else on 40except for this place unless you want your belongings, your dignity, and your pride stomped on and stolen! No stars given ever again!
