John from Craig's towing was great! He arrived quickly on a Sunday afternoon (6/14/26) and helped me try and start my vehicle. When nothing worked, he towed my truck to my mechanic's shop. He was friendly and collaborative the whole time. read more

John was a great guy, was able to get my car with a snapped tie rod get back to my house almost 90mi away. Very pleasant conversation the whole way back. While it was an unfortunate unexpected expense, it was a fair price for the distance. Awesome team, was at my vehicle less than 5 minutes after I called. read more

After being informed by Progressive that their tow would show in about 2 hours (coming from Milwaukee to Chicago area) I called these guys. Jim (sorry, it may have been John, I was too upset to get his name right!) (he looks like a young, handsome Hulk Hogan) put that dead car on the flatbed and even gave us a ride home (including my freaked out dog, to whom he was very nice). If only everyone in this world were as efficient and thoughtful as this. BTW this is the 2nd time I've called them. Last time it was 10 below zero and they were just as great. read more

I have used Craig's Towing a number of times over the years. Always prompt; always courteous. I recommend them without reservation.

After my car battery died on a late Friday afternoon, I was a mess trying to figure out what to do. I called Craigs Towing and within 30 minutes, my car was on John's flatbed on it's way to my mechanic before they closed. Amazing! Fast, professional, great value. Highly recommend this tow company. read more

They charged 20 mile towing for a flat tire on my 17 year old son's vehicle $395. I called to see if they could do something about the price the man that picked up was not willing to make if right. He said that's their rate. I am very disappointed and upset. Will never use this company again. read more

John is an incredible guy and runs a great towing business! He's dependable and swift.

I uses Craigs towing about a month ago. My car wouldn't start one morning and I need a jump. I was helped by John. The service was extremely fast and excellent. I only waited 30 minutes for him to arrive and jump my car. My anti lock system locked up on me and John was very patient with me and helped reset it. If anyone needs a tow you will not be disappointed with Craigs Towing. read more

I mean I was basically lost. Getting crazy 4-500 hundred dollars quotes from these random googled companies. But Luckily a friend recommended Craig's Towing, and John came through. Not only was it a great price but even faster service. So glad to have a go to Towing Guy now. Big ups to John! read more

I got a flat tire on 90/94 close to Old Orchard in Skokie. I thought I got a quote of $95, per the gas station attendant and Craig's towing. I was very stressed out at the time so maybe I misheard. I was charged $395 to get my car towed 13 miles to the city. Triple check the price, I would of waited hours for triple AAA instead. Also- my insurance didn't cover any of the tow, which both the person who towed my car and the gas station attendant said I would probably get back. Again this is my fault for not clarifying in the moment. read more

Great experience with this towing company. My car got a flat on the highway and it was very stressful. I called Craig's towing because I didn't have a spare tire. The driver was very nice and took me to just tires but he called them to make sure they're wasn't a long wait for me. His price was fair and service was exceptional. I highly recommended Craig's towing to everyone I know. read more

John from Craig's Towing was professional, arrived right when he said he would, and had no problem getting my Jeep on his truck on my narrow street. He is very knowledgeable about cars! All around great service and value. I'm a teacher and I recommend Craig's Towing to all my colleagues. ​ read more

My car broke down Friday on 294 on a very busy & hot July rush hour- Never a good situation. I called Craig's Towing and John arrived to make a difficult situation much better. He had the car hooked up and dropped off at my mechanic's shop in less than an hour. Thank you again John for the great service. George Kelly read more

John was a real pleasure to deal with. Craig's arrived when they said they would, Craig's did what they said they would. I would certainly recommendation them! read more

I needed to have a car towed on a Sunday with a flatbed. They came out quickly. I had called another company as well and Craigs towing had better pricing. He was able to tow it to my driveway and I didn't even have to be there with him. read more

It's never a good day when you have to call a tow truck. But sometimes it's just unavoidable. On Sunday afternoon, my car decided it wouldn't start anymore. Multiple attempts at jumping the battery didn't help. By Sunday evening, we decided that we needed to have it towed to the shop so that they could take care of it first thing Monday morning. Also because it was partly on our lawn after we had rolled it down the driveway so that we could try to jump it and we really needed it to move. Without AAA or an open mechanics' shop to guide me, I went to the interwebs to look for recommendations on tow companies. Yelp led me to Craigs and I was not disappointed. My husband called around 8:15 and we were told that they would be there between 9:30 and 10. It was definitely close to (or maybe a little after) 10 when they arrived. The flashing lights caused a lot of excitement on our little street. Overall, they were fast and efficient at getting my car up on the truck and to the shop. My total cost was about $150. I appreciated their transparency in pricing - their website actually lists their prices (as of today, $75 for hook up, $75 for flat bed and some amount/mile). No other tow service was that open about it. So while I wasn't thrilled with the price, I do feel like it was reasonable, especially since I knew it ahead of time. I hope to not need towing services again anytime soon, but if I do, I would definitely call Craigs. read more

I had to get my car towed out of storage to a mechanic in Evanston. The mechanic I was working with told me to use Craig's Towing to get the car to his shop because they know what they are doing. I called John at Craig's Towing, we agreed to have him come out and tow the car a couple of days later and John was there on time (with text updates while en route), super friendly, and highly skilled at his craft. I would absolutely use Craig's Towing again in a heartbeat! read more

Reasonably priced professionals. I called several towing companies in the area and they were unfriendly and unwilling to give me anymore information on price. I called Craig's and I expressed my concerns with my vehicle and they assured me everything was going to be fine and were willing to provide a price. read more

Over the years I've had to have my cars towed. It's usually at an inopportune time when you want the situation corrected as soon as possible with the least amount of hassle. I'm happy to report Craig's Towing has helped me out under those unpleasant situations. Originally recommended to me by a friend, I've found John at Craig's Towing to be courteous and professional. His towing equipment is clean and modern.I have Craig's Towing in my address book for the next unplanned event. Whenever possible, I like to patronize a local, small business. You know, where you talk to the owner and he works as though his livelihood depends on it. Well, Craig's Towing meets this criteria. I hope you don't need a tow truck, but if you do, give John a call. read more

So, after I stupidly threw my bag with my key fob into the trunk and closed it, I knew I was in trouble! My husband told me multiple times to order a second key- but I had been so careful!! I went to the Drivers door it was locked - so was the passenger door. I got a roadside lock out service to open my car, but the Audi convertible sensed a breach and locked the entire car down, making it completely immobile. I called Craig's Towing directly, because my insurance company's connection was a 2 hour wait. Craig's was there on site in less than 30 min. John came with his beautiful flatbed tow truck. Tried as we may, we could not put the car in neutral, the emergency brake was even engaged in the car security. John went out of his way to obtain a wheel lift truck with dollies. Like the Repo man uses! He towed it to my dealer with care and the highest level of professionalism, sending me pics of the process along the way. I was in a desperate situation, which many could have taken advantage of by charging crazy, inflated prices. His price was fair and even reasonable for what he had to do! Such a great guy, I am incredibly impressed! I hope you don't have to get towed, because the loss of transportation is something you don't want. But if you need to be towed- Craig's Towing should be the ONLY call you make!! Thank you John!! read more

I called Craig's Towing after an accident that left my car undrivable. He had to tow my car approximately 2 miles to an auto repair shop. I have no problem with his towing service, but the charge was ridiculous! They charged $750 to tow my car 2 miles. No special circumstances. It wasn't after hours or a Sunday. Will never use Craig's Towing again. read more

John is the epitome of a professional. Last week my car was unable to start. It had no power. I called John to have my car towed to a service station. When John got to my house he indicated he felt it was my battery. He opened a compartment in his tow truck which contained his tools. His tow truck was cleaner and more organized than my home. In a manner of minutes my battery was out. He jumped into his truck and he said "I'll be back" very Schwarzeneggeresque. He meant business. He was back in 30 minutes with a brand new interstate battery. In a matter of minutes my battery was installed and my car was running. I appreciated his honesty. John could have towed my car to a service station and would have made a ton more money. He was trying to find the best and most affordable solution to my problem. I'm very meticulous with my stuff but I think I met my match. He's a very detail orientated guy and I love that. I want things done right the first time. John is that type of guy. In the car industry you always hear of people who have been taken advantage of. John is a very honest guy. Whenever i have another problem with my car John will be the first person I call. read more

While I was very grateful that they showed up quickly, I was very disconcerted with the price to tow our car 3 miles. I thought $175 was pretty expensive - almost twice what i've paid from other companies. I asked for a price up front, but was told that they would let me know when they showed up. Service was very good - up front pricing and cost were pretty bad. read more

My parked 79 Porsche 911 was hit by newly insured knucklehead neighbor and unable to be driven . Bad day! John was great - friendly , polite and made bad situation bearable. Treated my car like it was new at the dealer. Very professional. Highly recommend read more

I had my first positive experience having my car towed. I was referred Craig's towing from a friend and haven't looked back since. I had John help me out towing my lowered car. John was incredible, super professional, loaded my car with care, and got to me in ridiculously short time DURING A SNOW STORM. I will forever recommend anyone I know to use Craig's towing. read more

I can't express enough how great this towing company is and I highly recommend calling if you find yourself in need of help. John saved me after my Acura suddenly died out and I was stuck in the middle of a traffic light. John came to the scene within 20 minutes and was so helpful. This type of day can be so stressful, but it helps when someone is patient and kind.... that was John. He towed my car to Acura in Morton Grove and my car was fixed within 24 hours. I'm a high school teacher and the day my car died was the last day of school before summer break - great way to kick off the summer break! I saved the number to Craig's Towing in my phone in case I'm ever in this type of situation again. Please trust my review and best of luck to you if you ever need a tow. Thanks John - I appreciate you. read more

The best towing company I've ever used, hands down. I called them in the evening and explained that I was looking for a tow truck to come out so I could get my car to a shop before it closed and they were really helpful. The guy at dispatch quoted 30-45 minutes and they were at my place with the flatbed I had requested well within the estimated timeframe. But this wasn't any old flatbed, it featured a low bed and tilted at less steep of an angle compared to most tow trucks. My car is a little low to the ground, so this was perfect. John was the driver and he was nothing short of awesome; a careful and professional tow truck driver (unlike many others out there), a true blue gear head, and a really cool guy to talk to. He even went out of his way to explain the process and made sure my mufflers and bumper weren't scratched during loading and unloading. The car went up onto the bed perfectly and he secured everything in a professional manner. We went to the shop and he unloaded it in the same careful manner in which he had loaded it. Fast, efficient, safe, professional, and an all around good guy. When you see a few pics of exotic and collector cars using a service like this, you know that service is good. Exotic and collector car owners don't risk their vehicles by playing around with amateurs and careless pirates. Craig's is top notch and I'll be calling them again! read more

Courteous, quick and helped so very much. Great information on my car and I will call them again whenever I have an issue. John was so helpful with my non-starting vehicle in an underground garage in Glenview. Thank you for wonderful, prompt service. I am 73 so I appreciate help with automobiles. Great value. read more

John from Craig's Towing was great! He came right out and the company called me when he was 10 minutes away so that I had time to meet him by my car. When I told him what had been going on with my car, he fixed it on the spot and followed me to make sure I got where I needed to safely! Very professional and he took the time to explain to me what was going on with my car and how to avoid the problem in the future. read more

Was just towed by John. My family mechanic who I trust with my life (Bill, from Morton Grove Truck & Auto) sent him. John M was the tow driver. He was early, he was extremely friendly, seemed to have a lot of mechanic knowledge of his own, very reassuring, and even helped me navigate insurance. Would highly recommend this company and John in particular! read more

Unfortunately I had the opportunity to call these guys to tow and/or jump my car. John showed up and couldn't have been a better guy to work with. He knows what he's doing and quickly jumped my car so I was able drive it to the mechanic and saved me money. read more

John at Craigs towing is very polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. It seems I'm always needing a tow having an older car that I love. I'm very lucky to have met John(due to one of my many break downs) if my car breaks down I know I can count on him. John definitely can make a bad situation seem like its nothing and reassure you everything will be alright. I was with a friend who got into an accident on the highway with 4 other cars. I called john he said he might be a little so I expected to be waiting for a few hours. Due to Chicago traffic I didn't expect anything less, but still he arrived before all the other tow tucks and the police were still writing up all the reports. Craigs towing is a great company I recommend them to everyone. I am a women and have had a few bad experience/ felt uneasy with being broken down on the side of the road waiting for a tow but after dealing with craigs towing I know I don't have to worry. GREAT FRIENDLY HONEST COMPANY! read more

After a horrible experience with Family Towing, waited four hours and they never showed and on top of that they tell me they only take cash and no credit cards despite being told credit was ok by my roadside assistance. So the guy tells me he won't come because I demanded to know when he was coming after four hours of waiting. So my son decides to call this number he sees on a tow truck for Craig's and we call and the guy is super polite and says he'll be there in 10 minutes. I couldn't believe it. So impressed and that's not something I ever thought I'd say about a towing company. Thank you J.M. (the name on the receipt) for being kind courteous and so prompt! I will keep your number handy and pass it along. read more

John came immediately to get my car. He brought a flat bed like I asked and when traffic was bad, he called to let me know. He was very professional, knowledgeable about the car and the damage, and his equipment was clean. An excellent experience for something that can be stressful. read more

Sitting on the shoulder of the Edens with the hood up and steam rising during rush hour would put anyone in a bad mood. John McKenzie of Craig's Towing made it better. He was prompt, efficient and professional. His courtesy and kindness while driving to Merlin's 200,000 Miles shop in Morton Grove (also highly recommended) meant that by the time we arrived both my car and I had cooled down. Much obliged John. I highly recommend Craig's Towing for their fair pricing and outstanding service. read more
