### 1/5 — Honk is stealing money

*2025-05-20, version 4.4.12*

To tow companies and service providers, Honk is stealing from you. We paid on behalf of Honk to the yard but because of an issue we could not towed the vehicle. Honk is not reimbursing us the money we paid on their behalf to the yard even after following up for months.

### 1/5 — Bad app , bad app, almost bad people to do business with

*2025-04-03, version 4.4.4*

App is terrible, always on the glitch side .. this app will cause your scores to drop and they won’t fix your scores.. no where to put for a Goa fee .. almost completely terrible.. good luck with these ppl .
****Update 2025 ! Still been trying to use honk over the years, I use them here and there but the app has gotten all the way terrible.. completely bad ..
It’s to the point I’m bout to cancel contract with them .. the pay is extremely low the app never updates so you cannot close out on calls and even if you call the support line it’s still no help if they cannot get in contact with customer to confirm you completed job since the app never works right. Drove an hour just not to get paid because the app is really terrible and they cannot get in contact with customer.. they make you use 3rd parties numbers to get in contact with the customer and the numbers can be from any state and nowadays most people have spam blocker on so it’s impossible to contact customer when you using numbers like that .
You would think with the bad reviews they would fix things ..  it’s not worth using your truck/car , money and have to  maintenance everything plus pay taxes ..  
please do better honk and do right by your contractors

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2025-02-27, version 4.4.4*

Stay away they will burn you they’re impossible to communicate with its all part of they’re strategy this is a garbage company

### 1/5 — Provider

*2025-02-24, version 4.4.4*

The service is very bad. I am tired of the bad treatment from some of the company’s employees towards me and not giving me the full amounts. On the day, I was paid from several accounts, and this costs me 4% of the total amount so that I can get the money.

### 1/5 — Terrible to partner with don’t do it you will regret I promise

*2025-02-24, version 4.4.4*

First off this app is complete and utterly useless. Jobs lag and when you’re going on scene it doesn’t update. Since you’re not showing on scene you cannot clear the call out. I’d prefer to use Towbook with it but that doesn’t always work either. Now for Honk. If you run into an issue with a live call the dispatch line does nothing but tell you to go online to resolve the issue. Why they can’t help you while connected is beyond me. We spent over 90 minutes trying to find one of their customers only to find out they needed a tow and not light service. They gave us a GOA of $20 instead of my contracted $35. We lost out on plenty of opportunities in my home area for nothing. I’ve since terminated this contract with them as they are costing me more than I can make with them. Oh not to mention they confirm with the customer the job is done before they pay you. So I asked the question what if the customer doesn’t answer and no one could confirm that I would be paid.

### 1/5 — The worst

### 1/5 — A waste

*2025-02-17, version 4.4.4*

There’s literally no way of getting any type of support from whoever is running this app… so if and when something happens you are on your own

### 1/5 — Logging in

*2025-02-09, version 4.4.4*

Tried to login into my account and it’s not letting me.i have tried multiple emails and password and not 1 works. So how am I supposed to get paid for a lockout done today? Had this issue before but now it’s ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-02-03, version 4.4.4*

The app doesn’t track drivers well at all. I’ve had to drive to a drop off location twice after I’ve completed service to get it to change a job to completed.

### 1/5 — Not good at all

*2025-01-26, version 4.4.4*

Honk it’s not good at all. You can trust them in your payment and those people doesn’t like to pay and doesn’t care about the provider and their customer.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2024-12-23, version 4.4.4*

This app never works…I have to email this company several times to be paid and call them as well…just awful and they don’t care

### 1/5 — Seems like a scam

*2024-12-04, version 4.4.4*

If you want the customer to be serviced as soon as possible why would you send the calls to every provider and not offer it to the person closest to them ? And if they turn it down then send it to everyone in the area . 

Why did you allow me to service three customers without insurance if it is a requirement ? 

And I got all of those calls it was 10 minutes on the 2nd one because my phone was In The other room and i got that call and the others . You’re telling me there were no providers in the area at all ? On a Saturday night at 8 pm that paid $64  for a jump start  but now I can’t even click on the alert while looking at the app as it appears before it awarded somewhere else 10 times in a row ?

I think it’s a scam to make u buy insurance

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-10-28, version 4.4.4*

Notifications do not go off, if they do it’s for a call we have already been dispatched or a call that was canceled. We miss calls constantly because of this issue. When we do get calls it marks our eta wrong and won’t finish out a job, so I have to call in to the honk office and have them mark our status manually. It’s simple problems that cause big issues.

### 1/5 — Hard to get paid

*2024-10-19*

You can do a $25 job and get paid quickly do any job over $25 let’s say $100 it’s gone take you  10 days to get paid n they send digital credit card that can’t be loaded to your phone that charges you to use so basically you ain’t even getting all your money for completing a job boy these folks will not help you send you the same email over and over again

### 1/5 — Will not update location

*2024-10-16, version 4.4.4*

App is not updating location and it is hurting my score. I keep getting emails saying that I did not sent the assigned driver. I have photos and dash cam footage of every call. Your app is not updating location properly and it is hurting my business. Something needs to be done to fix this.

### 1/5 — HONK COMPLETELY RIPPED ME OFF

*2024-09-20, version 4.4.4*

They dispatched the job too two drivers, I got there first did the whole job and Honk paid the other driver, they literally ripped me off for $149 plus my gas and tolls. All headaches and a scam, will literally never accept a honk call again, do not waste your time with this app. Great idea but executed very poorly, the company will quickly be out of business.

### 1/5 — BIG SCAM

*2024-08-23, version 4.4.4*

As a provider, I will no longer accept jobs from this company. They are a scam. I don’t even know where to start, but to keep it short, they won’t pay you for your work. Don’t waste your time or gas.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-06, version 4.4.30*

It’s terrible being a partner with honk. they will , send you a call on interstate where you need  a permit , and pin the address to the closest side road that’s off the higway trying to get people to accept the call….. clearly it’s not legal . they will trick you every chance they get, the calls are always messed up somehow . also lowest payouts in the industry . 40 miles one way for 50$ service call. their app is garbage . it could be way better and easier to use. but clearly they want it to be as difficult as possible . Hope someone buys this company or they close . terrible app terrible business model

### 1/5 — Communication and interfering

*2026-02-26, version 4.4.20*

Bad communication between jobs and customers and service providers by people calling from another country’s to make a job for towing companies in United States and they have no idea of vehicles in U.S. and honk or any other motor clubs called shouldn’t be in between customers and companies.

### 1/5 — Not

*2026-01-15, version 4.4.20*

If you have insurance they don’t take you but if you don’t have insurance they send you jobs .. crazy right !!

### 1/5 — Not

*2026-01-11, version 4.4.20*

This app does not work you never can get a job and when you need to talk to someone in customer service it’s a computer and no one give you the solution a your problem complete waste of time

### 1/5 — A company that does everything to AVOID PAYING IT'S PARTNERS

*2025-11-23, version 4.4.20*

My experience with HONK has been extremely disappointing and unprofessional. As a contracted service provider, I have fulfilled every requirement and policy they expect—arriving on time, providing proof, and following the correct procedures. Despite this, HONK repeatedly denies legitimate payments and makes the process intentionally difficult.

This appears to be a pattern with HONK—making excuses, rejecting valid claims, and doing everything possible to avoid paying providers for work that was legitimately performed. For a company that relies entirely on service providers to operate, their approach to payments and support is unacceptable. Their system errors prevent providers from submitting wait-time requests, and rather than correcting the issue, HONK simply denies payment.

HONK needs to address these ongoing problems, improve their transparency, and start treating their partners fairly. Until then, I cannot recommend them to any service provider who expects to be paid accurately and on time.

### 1/5 — Prices

*2025-11-04, version 4.4.20*

Not worth it. Price in San Diego California is too low. Not worth it to use this app

### 1/5 — Tow Guy 71

*2025-10-20, version 4.4.19*

Ripping tow companies off like usual …go buy your own trucks if it’s so easy

### 1/5 — Owner

*2025-09-20, version 4.4.19*

I'm not repeating what numerous other reviews have already said. Just take a look at all the negatives before you consider joining this dumpster fire of a motor club

### 1/5 — M&M roadside

*2025-09-04, version 4.4.19*

Worst roadside you can ever have they send you calls then cancel and you will never get paid for goa I was with them for almost 1 year then 11 months then a customer did a damage claim which was all false information and honk accepted the claim and we showed pics of the call it was a tire  service the customer had a trailer hooked in with a boat and all we did was replace the tire everything was perfect the customer  claimed the tire wasn’t torc correctly which is a lie and try to have me pay $800 for the false accusation trying to get money off the insurance customer hit something hard that messed his tire and try to blame us and honk I trying to charge me they don’t pay well they make drive miles and Al cancel the calls and won’t even pay enough I would never join them again it’s definitely 100% honk fault and I’m not the only one that complains of this app with these real low rates NEVER EVER AGAIN ITS YOUR LOSS HONK!!!!

### 1/5 — Taking jobs away like uber Lyft from service providers

*2025-08-30, version 4.4.19*

Very sad some people sitting in office taking jobs away from local service providers. Very unfortunate,they have access to marketing and social media

### 5/5 — $$ on the side!

*2025-05-14, version 4.4.12*

Great app for roadside assistance & Towing. I have been using it since November 2024, and have never really had a problem. A couple times the app glitched out and caused me to miss a gig or two. For the most part it is very basic and straightforward. I will continue to take on jobs for HONK!! And don’t let the bad reviews stop you from missing out on growing your towing & roadside assistance business!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome👍👍

*2025-04-29, version 4.4.9*

👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Great app for service providers

*2024-06-16, version 4.4.3*

Great app for service providers that like a little extra on the side. Doesn’t pay too much but if you are slow it’s better than nothing at all. Good job app creators. GPS tracked so if you go anywhere and are active, they will send you jobs in that area!

### 5/5 — needs improvement

*2022-08-17, version 4.3.88*

i love the app , it brings me about 10 jobs a week
but i wish there were more 10 is not enough to pay the bills. and they should compensate us if a customer cancels while we’re half way there it basically wastes our fuel and time. 
and the payout needs to be more some jobs aren’t worth your time driving 30-50 miles for 130 dollars isn’t enough.  we need better payout rates because i use other partners and they pay whatever i ask for.

### 5/5 — Honk is awesome

*2022-02-11, version 4.3.73*

It’s the best company ever. 
I’ve been in business for 9 years and I’ve worked with a lot of other companies HONK what I recommend to any towing company. 
the app is so easy to use and organized and so simple.

### 5/5 — move it all in one auto services LLC

*2021-03-08*

I love honk all the way it better then working for Motor clubs Job details are there click of a button in route click of a button to destination if you need to add your performance it all on the app love it nine times out of 10 Will get approved ain’t no need to call upload your videos of services and performance on you go thank you honk it’s  the future hope to be a provider for a long time just sign up today give it a try does not hurt you will like it!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Just joined Honk

*2020-03-04, version 4.2.4*

Gives us the exact job details and tells us how close we are to the job. I like honk because I can take the job or pass on the job based on my schedule. The rates are ok

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2020-02-27, version 4.2.4*

Sends me jobs and I can choose whether to take it or not. Very simple and straightforward.

### 4/5 — Reds Towing

*2025-10-18, version 4.4.19*

Good app for tow companies that are starting out and need to get more work the only down fall is a lot of the jobs aren’t worth taking because there too cheap

### 3/5 — Location services

*2022-09-23, version 4.3.93*

App is not tracking location when the location services are verified as on and always. 

Would like to actually be able to update eta through app. 

Would like to be able to change drivers before prompted too when the system realize the initial driver will be late. 

When a job is attempted but failed due to a reason that requires a tow the job then goes from attempted to cancelled if you don’t have tow trucks.

Accepted rate should be to be seen for all drivers once they receive it.
