JJ Hogan Towing

Going home from Danville, VA, my car had a flat tire on HWY 86 just north of Yanceyville, NC. I…read morewas right near a gas station, so I immediately pulled in to change the tire and put on the spare. Unfortunately, even though the parking break was on and the car was in park, it somehow moved enough to collapse the Jack after I had the tire removed. This basically landed the car on top of the jack, which was now laying sideways stuck underneath it. My roadside assistance with Geico was useless because for the 3rd time of the 3 times I tried to use it, they were unable to find any tow truck service available. I pulled up Google Maps to find a tow service, but I learned very quickly that just like locksmiths, all of the tow companies are fake. They all go to the same 1 or 2 phone numbers in California but are actually answered by people overseas in their house. Open up Google maps and look for local locksmiths or local tow services, and you'll see exactly what I mean. You can put a location in the middle of the desert, and you'll still get 30 results, all of them basically the same sham company. Then I smacked myself in the head for not learning my lesson when I needed a locksmith, which is that the best way to find a true local company was to use Yelp!! So to the Yelp app I went and immediately found Wilson's Automotive and Towing. They had a tow truck at my location out in the sticks in less than 15 minutes. 5 minutes later and my car had been lifted up in the spare put on. The total price was $100 cash, but I'll get that reimbursed from Geico, and it's not an unreasonable price for immediate service at 10 o'clock at night on a Friday. Thank you, Wilson Towing. I love you! REMEMBER: Google and Bing will give you fake results but YELP is the real deal!!

Overall, fast service and even better person.

They got me a new set of tires, oil change, air filter (I really needed one) and even a cabin filter. They were not pushy at all and even had finance options if I did not want to pay up 100% up front. This review is several months late as I am going in this week to get my tires rotated (free since I purchased tires at Loftis) as well as I need oil change. Thanks again Loftis. Go check them out if you need tires, lube, flat etc.

This place doesn't seem to advertise and they don't need to. My only complaint is that you have to…read moreget there first thing most days if you want to get your car in, they are so busy. But unlike the other Goodyear locations, they do what they say they'll do when they say they'll do it. They are knowledgeable, courteous, and professional, and I never feel taken advantage of. They never talk down to me and have never tried to sell me a service I didn't know I needed. Today, for instance, I took my late model Volvo in for an oil change and because of some odd performance issues I was concerned about. They changed my oil, did an inspection, and drove it around and found nothing out of the ordinary. They identified the issue I was experiencing, explained what it was, and that it's just evidence of my aging vehicle and nothing to worry about. They could have sold me something and I'd have believed them, but once again I'm checking out paying less than I thought I would. It's now the only place I'll take this car.

Service department tells me they have people with the same issue waiting for over 6 months with no car to drive. They don't know when an engine will appear, don't know what to tell me, toss out a toll free number and suggest I call Ford directly rather than trying to work with the customer and Ford for resolution. What ever happened to service advocates? Ford has closed one ticket and never got back to me with a resolution. Did not respond to multiple email and voicemail messages. I've reopened the issue with hopes of getting some kind of resolution. Meanwhile, I will tell the story and hope I can inform and save someone else a little indigestion. Update: have made multiple contacts to Ford. Rebuilt engines exist online; however, they will not agree to service or pay for a fix with alternate parts.

I suppose all of those Super Bowl tv commercials convinced me that the best place to take a Ford when the 'check engine' light comes on is a GENUINE Ford mechanic. WRONG. TriCity Ford will not hold themselves responsible for failing a customer. Everyone already knows that going to the dealership for service is the most expensive option. This business takes that unearned 'best' notion straight to the curb. Our daughter's Ford FIESTA indicated that there was 'transmission failure' and while driving the automatic transmission was stuck in Low. TRI-CITY FORD charged her a flat diagnostic rate of $151.57 ("it COULD take from 2 minutes to five hours" said the manager). The service dept at TriCity said on May 5 2022 that "the repair would cost between $900-$1000, but that the parts might not be available for months." When I described the diagnostic device to the manager - while he was looking at our receipt - he confirmed that it was the same tool. This discussion with the manager took place 10 minutes after the owner of the used car lot where she bought this car fixed the problem in less than a minute using the same device TriCity Ford mechanics used, and he did it for FREE. After wasting about ten minutes of my life talking to the acting manager of the dealership, no refund was given nor offered from a business selling cars that cost tens of thousands of dollars. He even tried to blame-shift this on his service department, and I corrected him. "YOU are where the buck stops, you can refund this, and we are getting nowhere." And left. I won't be back. LET THIS BE A WARNING TO ANYONE FOOL ENOUGH TO ENTRUST THEIR FAMILY VEHICLE TO THIS BUSINESS.
