It was on Easter when my family of 4 was driving from Palm Springs California to Texas when our engine in our Rv failed. We were stranded an hour away from Benson, and not even my insurance company could help us find a tow. I called up Dave and he came early in the morning the next day on a Sunday when everyone couldn't help us out. He towed us about an hour to his site and the price was unbeatable! I got quotes from others around $2k+ but Dave charged me only $600! He let us stay in his parking lot for a few days as he diagnosed our Rv. Turns out our engine needed to be replaced. Best part was that Dave got me a new engine and installed it in less than 7 days! We were back up and running and drove straight from Arizona to New Jersey! Zero issues and zero problems! We invested into a full service with warranty and a new engine and totaled $17k+ which was more affordable than a new Rv! Dave and his team knows what they are doing and will take care of you. Best guy in benson and doesn't mess around! He knows what to do and he's transparent and straight forward! read more

I was stranded on the side of the road calling all the tow companies around and Big Dave's was the only one willing to help us out, even when my insurance failed to get me a tow. They arrived really quickly and I had a nice, pleasant tow ride to their shop and they got my car all fixed up and ready to go that day. They did an amazing job and I am very appreciative of their service and don't know what I would have done without them! I am able now to complete my long drive to California with no worries read more

0 Stars if possible. Very arrogant people you get there at the time they tell you to be there. They straight ignore you to help you. Just sits in the office for you to leave. Can't even give 10 minutes of his there time to check what issues your having. read more

Big Dave is an utter and complete condescending, rude, sarcastic, A**HOLE. I wouldn't recommend anyone to do business with this wrecker service. The reviews don't lie. I will say his attitude changed further along into the interaction but not enough for me to ever give them another dime for anything. His employees are sweethearts and took care of me especially the older veteran. They also brought food for those of us that were stuck. For the I'll give two stars read more

These people are taking advantage of the other's bad situation and not sticking to their original promises/prices. Not competent mechanics that needs guidance how to do the work, and after I explained them correct way of doing it they come back and charge me for work that should be part of component replacement anyway. The invoice for work they did was greatly inflated with many extra items added. When confronted no explanation was given. Bottom line: do not give them your business unless you ready to be robbed by thousands of dollars. Have all receipts and email communications as the proof. read more

These guys totally went out of their way to help us out. They came to help us when we were stranded on the side of the road, towed us back to their shop, and allowed us to "moochdock" in their lot until things opened up the next week and also until parts came in. Thanks to the mechanic who worked on our rig - Adam - who is also a veteran. (Thanks for your service Adam!) Overall, a great experience and we are very grateful for their help. read more

They charged us $986 to basically take us 6 gallons of antifreeze. They didn't fix anything just shut off the valves and refilled antifreeze. They charged an extra hour because my driver locked himself out and waited for the lock smith. We were 15 miles away from them. DO NOT CALL them. You'll get robbed. read more

I would also like to say when my REAL mechanic took a look at car he told me BIG DAVES removed the fuel pump before towing it to Tucson and the electrical connection of the pump had been CUT OFF.Who does this kind of work? Incompetent Mechanics that is who. The bill came to 10015.00 dollars when the only problem the Malibu had was the ignition switch. They cost me an extra 700.00 dollars; in removing the tank DRAINING THE GAS. WHO WOULD TRUST THEM TO GIVE ME THE GAS back not tainted. read more

A engine coolant hose burst in my Motor home on my way across the country, I CALLED PROGRESSIVE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, they sent Big Dave's, I told the dispatcher that my vehicle is a motor home on a Chevy express 3500 cutaway, I told them to send a heavy duty tow truck, because Light and medium duty trucks ALWAYS SAY ITS TOO BIG OR HEAVY! Progressive told Big Dave's to send a heavy duty truck, BIG DAVE SENT A LIGHT DUTY one. Incompetent tow business. read more

It was in the middle of summer. Up a hill and guess what?? Our vehicle started to loose power. I took out my trusty iPhone and found Big Dave's Towing & Roadside service. We actually made it to their shop. Once there I must say at first I was a little concerned. The place was messy and that made me nervous. I was happy to find out that the mechanics know their stuff. They have fair prices and don't take short cuts. We DID spend an extra day waiting for a part to come in. BUT it was an OEM part that they gave a warranty on. The service was done properly and quickly. Our vehicle is still running tip-top since they did there work. GREAT STUFF! It is hard to find a shop this good. read more

AAA sent Big Dave's to our rescue on I 10 twenty miles out of Tucson. The driver arrived in 45 minutes, just around the time AAA had said and was friendly, had a nice rig and worked quickly to get us off the road and to safety. His main drag was Highway 10 which is also called Death Alley and part of a Burmuda Triangle of Highways so to speak. More people die on that stretch of highway on the 10 than anywhere else in the U.S. His rig held all 4 adults in our party and we arrived at our destination safely. If you are ever in the Tucson/Willcox/Sierra Vista area, dial up Big Dave's. I hear they are adding an additional Tucson truck soon. read more

I've gone to these guys 4-5 times for various issues with my car, they're great. They always squeeze me in last minute and seem to do whatever they can to save me a few bucks (likes suggesting where I can go to pick up my own parts). They are honest and fair compared to other mechanics I've gone to around Southern Arizona. Also, they're open on Saturday's which is a life savor for someone who works all the way in Tucson Monday-Friday. I always feel like as a female, mechanics are always trying to pull one over on me, but they never make me feel like that. They explain the issues and help me come up with the most cost effective solutions. Thanks for helping me keep my 97 Honda on the road, Big Daves! read more

I was 14 miles north of Benson, stranded. I called AAA. They said their only option for the area was Dave's. I was told that Dave refused the call - too far & the roads were too bad,that the trucks were to fragile & they wouldn't risk a dirt road. I tried to explain that it was a paved road with maybe less than a mile of a well maintained dirt road.AAA said they can't force the provider to do the job. But added Dave's said if I call them directly, for a price that included a $125 'off road' fee they would come out & do the service.(wha? Shouldn't AAA pay that? They would not pay the additional $125 Dave's was requiring) Ok, I gave Dave's the benefit of the doubt, I wanted to call to explain where I was(make sure AAA gave correct location) I tried twice, no answer. On the 3rd call I spoke to Dave, at first he had knowledge of the AAA call, he said it was too far, bad roads, I tried repeatedly to explain where I was & he kept rudely interrupting, he was loud and combative. When I was able to get through to him where I was, then he said he didn't get a AAA call, said he didn't know what I was talking about & then said suddenly he couldn't hear me-bad phone connection - what a runaround. So I researched & found a different place in Benson, who had excellent customer service, it cost less & after further speaking to AAA, they said they will reimburse me. I definitely do not recommend Dave's. And this business should not be a AAA provider. read more

While driving from Tombstone to Phoenix our car struck and object on the road and was rendered inoperable, leaving us stranded on the side of a busy road in the dark. Fortunately, we were able to reach Big Dave's Towing and Roadside Assistance, and shortly afterwards, Terry of Big Dave's came to our rescue. Terry's warm demeanor and bright personality made a horrible situation seem less grim. His upbeat spirit and eagerness to help speaks mounds for the good people out there, who are able to help you get through a tough situation with less pain. I hope all motorist traveling near and around the Tombstone and Tuscon area have Big Dave's telephone number handy, just in case they need help. Based on our experience, you will most certainly be in good hands. Thank you Terry, for leaving your family on a Sunday evening, to go out into the cold, dark and rainy night, to help mine. read more

We lost a wheel to our fifth wheel driving through Benson and AAA contacted Big Dave's to tow us off the freeway. Adam was there in a short time and due to the fact that it was the whole wheel assembly not just the tire he was able to use a chain to stabilize the axle and he and his wife Loni guided us (Loni in front in a jeep, Adam behind in the big tow truck for visibility) slowly and carefully off the freeway and to their shop. They got our fifth wheel fixed and ready to roll again in just 3 days. Adam was very knowledgeable and thorough, making sure our trailer brakes worked well before we drove away. Loni runs the office and she was also very helpful with knowledge of dealing with insurance companies. This is definitely the place to go if you're in Benson and need any mechanic work done! read more

Had some car trouble out in Arizona on I-10 about 50 miles outside of Tucson. Big Dave saved the day. He drove us to a motel and picked me up in the morning to get my truck from the shop. Great guy. However his employee at the shop was very weird. Dry. Attitude. Maybe in small town Arizona, they're not to fond of black people? Who knows? read more

This company needs to train their employees on better people skills. I tried to get info on costs and who ever I dealt with on the phone was rude and not in the least bit helpful. read more

They are rude, and not helpful. Do not call them. They're scammers and take advantage of people in need. When I called to get info and breakdown of charges the owner, Dave kept yelling on the phone and never cleared things up, awful business. read more

Called for what I thought was a dead battery. It wasn't. My starter had died, and needed to be replaced. Within an hour and a half and a fair price they had my car finished! Great people. Fantastic customer service! Will call for any future car problems! read more

Had overheating problems in my RV, they towed me to their shop, worked on my RV next day. They thought it was the thermostat and leaking hoses. Replaced those. Did not do a through diagnostics, read the RV computer with a handheld machine. Said no error codes. I'm still having the same problem now sitting at another shop. They are friendly for the most part, let me stay in my RV there. But they are primarily a patch and go shop. Look elsewhere for a through inspection and get if fixed right the first time. read more

Used this firm yesterday after blowing a stock trailer tire (we were loaded with heifers going to market in Willcox). Problem occurred on Interstate 10 miles east of Benson. Ended up having outstanding luck (firm recommended by AAA) in finding the firm...arranged to have three new tires picked up by driver who arrived in relative record time and performed all needed work. Really outstanding performance by repair person who came to the scene: a young man named Cherry who was courteous and did a top job. read more

Hit road debris between San Simon & Bowie on I-10W between sand storms. AAA tow for 3 people in large SUV was very interesting as passengers road in SUV on tow bed to Tucson. Dave was very good and honest as to problem with non-working car and fixed in the driveway. Highly recommend & I appreciated the thoughtfulness keeping 3 seniors safe in a very windy area. read more

The mechanic was nice, but the lady in the office was extremely unpleasant. Our motor home broke down about ten miles outside of town. Had to wait over three hours for tow truck to come, although when the tow truck driver arrived, he indicated he had not been doing anything all afternoon. The next morning when they went to work on it, the lady was rather nasty, wrote up the invoice incorrectly and included several nasty and unprofessional remarks on the actual invoice, read more

Had my worst car towing experience with this business. Power steering went out, truck overheated. Insurance roadside assistance representative told me that an employee from Big Dave's would be out in no more than 2 hours, but may have delays due to weather (bad weather was in Tucson, not on outskirts of Sierra Vista where supposed employee was at). I sat there for almost 3 hours then noticed a speeding tow truck whoosh past not once, not twice, but three times. Moments later I get a call from the driver saying he has no idea where I am. I kept explaining it and he seemed like he just wasn't with it. Finally he pulled over in front of me and stopped. I sat in my car for about 10 minutes waiting for the guy to get out. When it didn't happen I finally walked up to the cab, guy noticed me standing there & finally threw the door open. Admitted he had been texting the whole time and here I thought he might of been doing paperwork. Next, he couldn't figure how to hookup my truck, slipped on an apparent oil patch and nearly fell off the back of his tow truck (happened multiple times - thought he was going to have some serious bodily injury before he got my truck hooked up). Then he started to raise the truck, suddenly grabbed the wrong lever & the back end audibly smashed into the asphalt. I was fairly angry, but remained civil. Finally jumped in the cab & the guy kept alternating between weird nonsensical rambling and having high pitched, unprofessional conversations (arguments) on his cell phone, on full blast speaker mode, with his girlfriend. Then he kept asking if I wanted to stop for a drink. Then he complained his boss wouldn't let him smoke with customers in the cab. Then he complained that he doesn't get enough time to eat. He concluded the rambling with stating how his boss lies to customers about wait times & double books his drivers. After that proclamation, he started texting vigorously, not watching the road. Every time he saw a cop drive by he'd slink down in his seat, slow down, & ask me questions about marijuana. First time I've been with a tow driver & wondered if I'd make it to my destination alive. It was equally infuriating and terrifying. Pretty sure he was either hopped up on something or sleep deprived to the point he was not functioning or safe. When at last we arrived at the garage, he wouldn't unload my truck (which wasn't even at the right location) until he had a cigarette. Finally he released my vehicle & left. That nightmare couldn't have ended soon enough. I immediately called Geico & reported everything. Who knows if anything was done about the employee, but I'd never wish that experience in my worst enemy. read more

called out yesterday and tech came out acted like he new everything and was not very friendly would never recommend to anyone plus they overcharge customers and do not stick to what they tell u up front read more
