We were involved in a scary 4 car pileup late at night, during the the rain on I80. It was a chaotic scene. When BJ arrived he made me feel that was TRULY there to help in any way needed and was so calming. Which in turn made me feel calm in this horrible situation. He towed our truck to his shop that had a new sofa in the bed that we had just purchased that day. He maintained excellent communication with me. When we went to his the shop the next day to pick up the sofa, it was only my daughter and myself that could make it. BJ and his buddy loaded the sofa in our truck and strapped it down for us. I am forever grateful for his kindness and help that he provided to us during this tragic time. He is an angel. read more

On June 29, 2022, my 1996 Chevy Corvette had a tire blowout on interstate 80. I pulled over to the side of the road and attempted to get the spare tire out but I was unable to release it from the undercarriage of the car. It seemed stuck. I saw that BJ's Towing Service was a short distance away so I decided to call them for help as a last resort. (I do not have a lot of money on me typically. I do live pay check to pay check. I was a little anxious even calling them. In the past, at such a short distance, I've paid around $60 or so for towing services. I had $125 in my account at that time.) I thought they could possibly get my tire down and put it on for me or at least get me off the side of the road. When the tow person arrived, there was NO attempt to change my tire. Didn't even look at it or try. He just hauled my car away to the shop. No special, out of the ordinary care was given to my vehicle. I watched as it was hooked up and secured. The shop was about 12 miles away according to my cell phone. Quite a bit of time passed as I waited in the tire shop (which is apparently a separate business from the towing company.) The guy came back and gave me a bill for $247.50. I just about fell over backwards. I told the guy I didn't have that much on me. I could give him the $120 that I did have. He seemed annoyed and said he'd have to go talk to his boss. That they don't do payment plans. After some time he came back. They decided if I left my debit card information and my personal information and promised to pay the balance as soon as I could get it back into my account they would let me have my car back. I hadn't even figured out what I was doing about my tire, yet. I said this to the guy. He basically said that was not his problem, that was the other business that is there that handles that problem. I was thinking, "great." Now I owe money to the tow people and I still haven't got my car back AND I'm broke. All I really wanted was my spare put on my car. By the way, the tow guy told me he would have charged me double if he had put my tire on for me. He also went on to say that "My boss isn't trying to get rich. He's just trying to help people." Two words... Price Gouging Regardless of whatever fees extra they charged, they still charged me $100 for the mileage alone. According to my research, the average is $2.50 to $7.00 per mile. The greater amount usually being charged to big companies, like trucking companies. $100 divided by 12 miles equals $8.33 per mile charged. In addition to the other $125 Towing Charge and an additional fee of $22.50 for taxes, I assume. Thank you BJ's Towing for making a really bad day even worse. It was all I could do to leave that place with a little dignity by putting my sunglasses on before anyone could see me tearing up out of frustration. (Thankfully, the tire shop waived the fee for putting my donut on my car. The tow company wasn't too concerned about my tire or how that was getting paid for.) Also, my spare was good. The guy wouldn't change it because it was on a Corvette. Corvette's have a low carriage. He wouldn't even mess with it. read more

BJ's Towing - Road Service Bill - Towing Near Me - Williamsburg, Iowa

Great! Picked us up stranded. Replaced alternator and batteries on my truck. New alternator failed, found a used one in the back, took it off that truck, then put it on mine. Gave me a refund for the failed alternator. Even though I will get a new one here at home and send the loaner back, John got me on the road, even after business hours! Thanks John! read more

We had a pair of flat tires on our RV passing through Iowa City. They really took care of us and got us on our way. They are very honest and efficient in their work. Would highly recommend them. read more

Might as well top off before we hit the road. This was right in the place where we were at so it was the winner. Prices were comparable to what we had been seeing so, here we are. read more

These guys are the fastest around. I've only had tire service there but they have always gotten my car right in and I've been back on the road in no time. Once I needed 3 new tires that they didn't have in stock and had to get from Iowa city. Still finished in about 3 hours. read more
