A-1 Express Towing - Towing Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is a business you should never have to use. I had to use it on a frigid Sunday night at around 8:30 pm when my tire blew out while driving to O'Hare to pick up the BF. They charged a pretty penny -- $245 to tow the car from around the Bryn Mawr exit on the Kennedy to Costco on Clybourn (due to the cold, they couldn't just change the tire and put the spare on) -- but they came within 45 minutes on a sub-zero night when AAA (which I've dutifully paid for years) told me to pound salt. So kudos for that. read more

They said 20 minutes, but it was more like 50 minutes. Also, when I asked how much on the phone they said it depends on milage. The guy was very nice , but when he dropped me off at the mechanic I was shocked by how much. He said $225. for a tow on the highway shoulder 290 Damen exit to western and addison. I feel like most other places charge $85 plus milage. I was shocked at how expensive it was...... Also, they mechanic they recomended me to go to because they have a lot and it was after hours, also quoted be a really expensive price. read more

These guys are the best. I was stranded on the side of the highway in a snowstorm and they arrived within 15 minutes of me calling. They were incredibly professional and gave me a ride to the get my car repaired. I accidentally left my glasses in the truck and they were able to meet me the next day to return them. I hope that I don't need a tow truck again, but if I do, I'll definitely be calling these guys. Thanks again! read more

Got stuck on Lake Shore Drive, found this company after calling somewhere else that quoted me at a higher price. Overall good experience. Not to mention Bill is a super nice guy that made the long drive pleasant. Hopefully I won't need another tow but if I do I know who to call. read more

Although the driver was very nice the rate they charged was outrageous. I was charged $496.13 for a 43 mile tow. Truly outrageous!

I don't even write reviews, but my recent experience with A-1 Express Towing was so horrible I needed to make sure other customers won't get scammed by A-1 Express Towing like I did. Here's what happened: I used A-1 Express to have my car towed to a repair shop. I was quoted $165. My car was then towed as promised, but damaged my front bumper in the end. Long story short, the driver of the towing truck allowed a staff at the repair shop onto the truck to replace my car battery so the car can be let down easily. The towing truck driver said to the repair shop staff that it is clear to release the car off the truck. That staff followed his order and released the car, but, to their oversight, my car was still connected to the chain while being released, and that damaged my front bumper. The police was then called because the two businesses were blaming each other. Problem #1: When I called A-1 Express regarding the damage, the manager denied any responsibility to this incident, saying the repair shop should take 100% responsibility. In an ideal world, I would like for both businesses to each take 50% of the cost of bumper repair/replacement, sounds fair? not to A-1 Express. They would screw people (me) over if they can get away with it. Problem #2: Told you I was quoted $165. I ended up paying $181.91. Before and during the interaction with the police at the scene, the tow truck driver threatened multiple times to tow my car to their lot, I suspect that's because tow truck driver just wanted to get paid and leave before the police arrives, even though the police report has yet to be generated. The next day I called A-1 Express inquiring about $181.91 charge. A staff told me that they charge tax of $16.91. The state of IL does NOT charge tax on service. The manager, Bill?, later said that he would initiate $16.91 refund and I appreciate that. Was it an honest mistake? I am really not sure, but one thing I'm sure of is A-1 Express Towing tow cars everyday and to make an honest mistake on the kind of invoice they issue everyday does not sound likely. To my fellow yelpers, A-1 Express towing is the same company as http://www.rastowing.com/ as that's how I found them, but was issued a receipt from A-1 Express Towing. To A-1 Express Towing, regardless of what you believe who is at fault, the incident happened on YOUR TOWING TRUCK operated by YOUR EMPLOYEE. I will take your advice to me to "do what [I] have to do" until a reasonable resolution is reached. read more

Needed my car towed from bronzeville to Park Ridge, showed up promptly, Jay the driver was helpful and would definitely use again.

So my car was stuck in the snow... they came pretty fast... took him about 5 min to get me out. He goes "with that be cash or credit" I go "credit"... He says "thats gonna be $125... WHAT THE!!! Talk about a huge scam, having a guy cornered... wouldn't recommend to anyone ever, no matter how fast they are. Karma comes around. read more
