I have worked in the industry for years and have used many, many wrecker companies all over the country and I have NEVER in my life dealt with a company like them. They never showed up for a job, then couldn't give an ETA on when they would be able to get it done even though we had people waiting on site for them for hours already. They also lied about their pricing and then tried to charge double. Use anyone but them. Chicago Towing is more expensive but honest and upfront and will actually get the job done. read more

You should literally use any other towing company beside this one. My steering pump died on my car and I couldn't drive it. They towed it and the shop noted the dent on intake. I called multiple times, left messages, never got a call back. I emailed the photos attached here, no response. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau: "Thank you for taking the time to inform us of your experience with this business. Please make note of the case number above and refer to it in all future communications with BBB® regarding this matter.

Golf & Busse Towing - Here's what my car had left for me when I picked it up the next morning - Towing Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

See all

If I could give 0 stars, I would!!!! This place is a scam and we are therefore pursing legal action due to their negligence, ignorance, and Failure to Exercise Due Care. They caused physical damage to the front bumper of the car puncturing it and ripping a piece off. We have already filed a police report and authorities have been notified of the violation of documenting ordinances in the state of Illinois. Illinois State Law says that: "When an authorized person improperly causes a motor vehicle to be removed, such person shall be liable to the owner or lessee of the vehicle for the cost of removal, transportation and storage, any damages resulting from the removal, transportation and storage, attorney's fee and court costs." We expect FULL reimbursement for the cost of the tow and any fees, as well as court costs and the cost of repairs for this damage caused by Failure to Exercise Due Care. They violated Illinois State Law and did not abide by rulemakings listed in TITLE 92: TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER III: ILLINOIS COMMERCE COMMISSION SUBCHAPTER d: RELOCATION TOWING PART 1710 RELOCATION TOWING. My boyfriend and neighbors cars were both unlawfully removed and relocated by Golf and Busse Towing from authorized Visitor's parking spots with the appropriate permits visible from the front windshield, as required by our apartment complex's lease. They denied such actions and were stupid enough not to realize that the heavy snowfall was in our favor, clearly showing that no snow had been wiped away from the windshields of either car to reveal said parking permits in clear view from the front windshield. They put the incorrect address on the tow receipt, as well as lied about the time at which both vehicles had been towed. read more

What was an unexpected nightmare of being stranded on the side of I-55 near Coal City ended up working wonderfully once we called Golf & Busse Towing. They did in 1 hour what our Roadside Assistance plan couldn't do in several hours - and for a lot less than our plan was going to charge us. (They are being fired today). Great customer service with Cindy and a WONDERFUL driver, Joe March. Joe got to us earlier than we were told, was so kind and we just really appreciated the ride. What a nice young man! Thank you Golf & Busse! read more

Phone service not so good but the tow truck service is good. * The tow person was okay * Service time is excellent Came within 10 mins beautiful. * Phone customer service is horrible * PRICE is HORRIBLE AND RIPOFF SIMPLY. PAID $147.00 FOR 1.25 MILE TOW. THIS IS CHEAP AND A DIRTY WAY OF MAKING MONEY. read more

Horrible experience. Allegedly a 24 hour service. Called and the person on the other end hung up on me twice, was not being attentive and then proceeded to tell me "call back at 8am. I'm not dealing with the s*** tonight". Asked for his name and was told "you already have my name." And he hung up on me. Would never recommend this company nor these workers. How am I inconveniencing someone who should be doing their job? 0/5. read more

Honestly i wasn't going to do this but I got my car towed and the lady who sat in the window called another lady which didn't give me NO HELP but ran her fucking mouth about something I didn't ask for(which pissed us off) Eventually, John came and my bd was explaining to him the situation which idk got heated so John proceeded to tell me if he didn't stop talking he would penalized me and wouldn't return MY CAR. I haven't said anything in the most of them but little did you know not care I had SURGERY YOU PRICK THE NEXT DAY. They are rude, & unprofessional as hell! DO BETTER!! read more

Stay away from these crooks. Their tow driver incorrectly hooked up my car and it bent both tie rods, causing $900 of damage and a new alignment. They refuse to even open up an investigation and continue this cat and mouse game of who's the actual manager. I've been lied to multiple times and they refuse to take accountability or even objectively review the evidence of the issue. If you ever get a police ordered-tow (as I did), make sure it's not Golf & Busse. I hope the owner reads this and decides to make it right by me - and I'll also give you the web of lies I've documented from your daytime office manager. read more

My well maintained car broke down unexpectedly as I was taking my daughter to work. When I called Golf & Busse Towing, I was treated with urgency and reassured that they could help me. Cindy was calm & made me feel like everything was going to be ok. The lead time for the tow truck to arrive was spot on - she said 15 min & it was 15 min!! The driver (Ray) was friendly, patient & worked quickly. He even offered to give us a ride 3 blocks back to our house, but then our friend showed up. The whole process was seemless. Thank you! read more

Idk I'm in between with the place. They took care of me and gave me my car back as I left it. The wait though to get serviced was weird. They don't have someone there in the office at all times. You have to call so they send someone to unlock the office and take care of you. I found it kinda of weird, but hey times are tough I guess. The one person who I spoke with on the phone was super rude and not very nice. I get it your job sucks, but since you are charging me double of what it takes to move a vehicle at least be nice so I can recommend you. Jeez. read more

We had a horrible experience with them recently where they Wrongly towed my husband's car at our apartment complex. They said there was no sticker in the car which was incorrect because he did have one. We have been living there for 5 years and one morning they just towed the car. Also the pictures that they took of the car before they towed it CLEARLY SHOWS THE STICKER IN THE WINDOW. Even after we told them that, they refused to give us the car and they kept giving us so many excuses. They wrongly towed the car and they still wanted us to pay to get the car back. The lady we talked to on the phone was extremely rude and didn't want to hear anything that we said. There are many cars that park in our lot on the weekend who don't even live there but yet they want to tow the ONE car that actually has a sticker and they live there. After reading some reviews it looks like they have towed many cars from apartment complex buildings for no reason. This place needs to be shut down!! They are just scamming people out of money and a horrible establishment. I am honestly thinking of suing. There license needs to be taken away. read more

I called Golf and buss towing after my car had slid into a ditch, dispatcher was so rude said her name was Nina and kept talking over me as I wasn't done asking my questions. very unprofessional on her part so I just hung up and called somewhere else. read more

My daughter called Golf & Busse Towing because she was stuck in a ditch in a rural area during a snowstorm at 11:00 pm. The driver's side front tire was about to go into a river. She originally called State Farm Roadside Assitance but they were having difficulty locating a tow for her and told her to wait until 8 am the next day. Your driver #536 showed up to help her and even he got stuck!!! But he went and got a smaller truck. He came back and winched her out of the ditch. This took an extra trip out and more time on his part, but only charged her the original fee. He was very helpful, very friendly and understanding about a young woman stuck in the middle of the night. After he got her car out, he waited to make sure that she got back on the road and was able to drive out. A very kind gentlemen and we would highly recommend him and Golf & Busse Towing.

truck driver hit my car and convinced me not to get a police report because the "company would pay me for damages". Contacted the company, sent pictures and gave them the drivers information and they refused to pay me for damages and claimed they were existing. The owner john seems to be a little mentally not all there and got very hostile with me. read more

After waiting forever for my supposed "roadside" assistance to arrive, I find out they aren't coming. I called Golf & Busse, as I have used them in the past with no issues. The woman on the phone was a little pissy (I will admit I was no peach either, but I am the customer too, and I wasn't rude to her, just frustrated in general with no tow and being stranded in the dead of night). I mentioned how my roadside didn't show and she says "WE DON'T WORK WITH ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE". I said "I didn't ask you to, I said they aren't coming", so I need a tow, to which she said "well, you'll need to pay it yourself", um really ? No kidding, no problem, I just want my dang car towed at this point! I didn't ask for it for free! DUH! Besides her, the truck arrived within TWELVE, YES, TWELVE, minutes!!!! Driver was great and cordial. The down rate on star is her attitude. And I see I am not the only one...... 5 stars on the arrival time and driver. 4 on her attitude. read more

Our shifter went out in our car during lunch so we called Midas looking for a towing company and they suggested another place that was expensive so we looked up other companies and found Golf & Busse Towing. They quoted us a great price and said they would be there within the hour 20 mins later Chris came and towed the car to Midas for repairs. He lifted the car with great respect to and from the point places. I will differentially use this company again for any of my towing needs. Thank you Chris for your help Midas is done with our car now to. Having that day go as it did I thought I was going to be bad but it went off without a hitch (pun intended) read more

Probably one of the most Professional and Caring Tow Companies around. They have a quick response rate, very courteous and informative. Step by step actions on getting my vehicle and helped transport me in the process. I will definitely be recommending. read more

This towing company was kind from the first phone call with Maddie and continued with Jose. The care and concern was overwhelming. Jose the tow truck driver was awesome, hard working and most importantly a professional, honest team member! I couldn't be more thankful for his time and dedication to get a "bad time" taken care of for me. Golf and Busse towing gets 5 stars and hopefully Jose will be recognized and appreciated from his company, he is truly a gem and you are blessed to have him! Thank you again for all your company and team did for me!! read more

I am beyond impressed with Golf & Busse Towing. I had a very difficult complicated tow and Chris did an amazing job figuring out how to get my truck on his flatbed without damaging it since it had no back tire! He was professional and very knowledgeable on how to get this done! It took time but I appreciated his attention to detail and his delicate maneuvering to get it up on the bed safely with no additional damage! Great Job Chris!! I definitely recommend this company!! read more

After hours dispatch is a real peach. Told me one rate if I were to come that day to pick up my car. And rate each day it stays in there. I went in next day and it magically went up 100 dollars. Called to ask her and she says " i bet you 100 bucks it wasn't me that you spoke to, all of our calls are recorded" when I challenged her to pull the phone calls up, she responded with "that's great the rules are up on the board". I know the situation is bad to begin with and you probably all think I'm writing a bad review cause I'm angry, but paying the fee is what I knew I deserved. I questioned the $100 increase in price and am treated like I'm wrong with bad customer service which is why they're getting this review. Jose the tow guy is really great tho. They need more people like him. read more

They have the worst customer service. I was quoted one price over the phone and when I arrived told to pay a much higher price. I asked to speak to the manager/owner who apologized that his employee have given me the wrong price and said "she made a mistake" but still required me to pay the higher price. Don't ever use this company you will be misquoted and ripped off read more
