    BEWARE. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Absolutely, the most dishonest and…read moreunfair service I've ever dealt with. The facts: Freezing cold. My truck broke down at the DeKalb, IL Toll Plaza. I needed to be towed 56 miles to my home near Chicago. Northern Illinois Towing quoted $345 to my motor club. The club only covers $125. The $230 difference would be out of pocket! I told my motor club dispatcher to forget it and call another service. They couldn't find anybody else local. It seems the tollway is a racket with only one tow service per x stretch of miles. I was trapped with no alternative so I said send him and I'll try and negotiate a better price or have him drop my car closer to home off the tollway when my $125 allowance expired. The driver (and company owner) told me it was $80 just to hook up the car plus the tolls and mileage to get to me. So the $125 was basically gone before I got in his cab. Great. I offered cash if he would reduce his fee. He refused. He also added that if I paid with a credit card, it would be $11 more. I had no recourse but to pay him $238.10 when we arrived at my home. Technically, this is as close to highway robbery as one could get. Legal? Probably. Honest and helpful? Nope. I filed a complaint with my Motor Club and will, futilely, seek a reimbursement for some of the money. Why pay for a motor club membership if they don't screen the services they offer. Stay away from this unfair gouger. A nightmare.

    I was towed from J&S Towing/Proline Towing/Total Fleet Solutions(they keep changing their name) and…read moreforced to pay cash only. The employee initially refused to give me a receipt and only provided one after I insisted. After I was asked for my driver's license and I calmly informed the employee that the woman in the inside had already taking my driver's license and taking a picture of it. He yelled "THAT WAS AN HOUR AGO" and was also threatened with police involvement and told I would be accused of a felony if I didn't comply, which felt extremely inappropriate, especially because I was so calm with this guy. CASH ONLY + NO RECEIPTS = YOU STOLE THE CAR BACK. I WILL CALL THE POLICE AND TELL THEM THAT YOU BROKE INTO THE BUSINESS AND STOLE YOUR CAR BACK (Felony) My vehicle was towed within about 10-11 minutes. There was no visible signage where I parked--only a small sign at the entrance of the property. I returned the next day and documented this. After looking into Illinois law (625 ILCS 5/4-203), signage must be clearly visible, and a receipt MUST be provided. This law also states that there must be a reasonable time after the car is parked in the supposedly "illegal parking spot" for tow to be persist. The lack of signage near the parking area combined with how quickly the vehicle was towed raises serious concerns about predatory towing practices. I have filed a complaint with the Illinois Attorney General and BBB.

    Service is horrible our first in counter with them was terrible and they threatened my boyfriend I…read morehope we never have to go there ever again. As long as I live in this town. They are way over priced for a tow company that's towing from apartment complexes that we live on.
