What started as a very stressful day turned into a much better experience thanks to his professionalism and kindness. I hit a huge pothole on I-94 near Gary, Indiana, which caused a flat tire and left me stranded on the shoulder with traffic flying by at highway speeds. I was on my way home to spend Father's Day with my dad, and this was the last thing I expected to happen. From the moment Jamie spoke with me on the phone, he was calm, reassuring, and genuinely caring. He made me feel like I was in good hands before he even arrived. Once he got there, he was professional, efficient, and incredibly courteous. Jamie then drove both me and my vehicle all the way to my dealer's service department in Illinois. During the drive, we had a wonderful conversation, and I was impressed by how warm, friendly, and compassionate he was. After many years in the towing industry, it would be easy for someone to become indifferent, but Jamie was exactly the opposite. He showed genuine empathy and treated me with kindness and respect throughout the entire experience. If you ever find yourself needing a tow, I highly recommend Need A Lift Auto Towing Service. Thank you, Jamie, for turning a difficult and stressful situation into a much more positive experience. Your outstanding customer service will not be forgotten.

I bought 4 brand new tires and had a wheel alignment for my Kia Sorento back in October. Had great…read morecustomer service at the time and the lady at the counter was very helpful in picking quality tires that were not overpriced. After the alignment, I was told that there was something else wrong as the wheels continued to pull whenever hitting bumps and they suggested that I take the vehicle to a dealership to be checked out as they could not tell me what was wrong. When I went into the dealership, they found that I needed my front 2 ball joints replaced. The bad news with this was that it would cause me to need another alignment. (Now that I read other people's reviews of this business, I wonder how it is that they can tell one customer that their ball joints were installed incorrectly, but they can't tell me that mine need replaced). So after getting the joints replaced, I took the vehicle back to Rothrock last week for another alignment as their price was less expensive than the dealership. (However, had I just gone to the dealership first for everything, they would have not done the first alignment and I would have come out ahead instead of paying for 2 at Rothrock). Up to this point, I was merely annoyed with my whole situation. What followed next is the cause for such a poor review. I took the car back to the dealership for an oil change on Monday and they came back and showed me that they also had to do a tire rotation because I now have 2 tires that need replacing. My front tires were rated at a 3 and 4 where my back were still at an 11. I had only put 5,000 miles on these tires since they were bought. I now have to go BACK to Rothrock because they hold the warranty, to get this problem fixed. I will be the first to admit I was not a happy customer when I walked into their office. I did smack my papers on the counter, my voice was raised (but far from yelling), and I was already at the point of tears. The answer that I got back was the worst experience I have ever had, including being on the receiving end of angry customers in the past. A man got up from his desk (I think he might have been the OWNER of this business) and proceeded to yell at me saying things like "You don't come in here throwing and slamming your papers at me or you can take your business somewhere else. I will get your problem fixed but don't yell and cry at me trying to make me feel sorry for you. This is not how things get done in the world Mam." At no point did this man apologize for ANYTHING or acknowledge my frustration. He made me feel small and like a little girl being yelled at by her father. The disrespect and words were like slaps in the face. I told him I was upset because I spent some of our Christmas money on these tires and his response was "Well obviously you needed the tires and would have spent the money anyway." At one point I even apologized to HIM saying that I was frustrated, stressed, and just wanting my family to be safe when we travel in 2 days on a long trip. He scheduled me for the following day for 2 new tires. My husband ended up taking the vehicle in as I couldn't go back to face that man. My husband said no one said a word to him about the incident from the previous day and there were only 2 ladies at the front to wait on him. We will not be returning to this place as the man informed me himself; I can certainly take my business somewhere else.

I had only managed to get out "the car vibrates..." and he finished the sentance with... "at low speeds? Yeah, this should take care of that!" He called while the car was in the shop and said, "You know three of four tires are bald?" "yeah... I noticed that." "I'll get you a quote before the end of the day." Last time I had my tires replaced at a local chain, it cost more than the tires, balancing, and the bumper and front wheel well repairs combined. I agreed and he went to work. When I picked it up, it drove like a dream. "Ebony" has nearly 130K miles on her, but I swear to you she hasn't driven this beautifully since I got her at 600 miles, nearly 15 years ago.

We were in and out of there in 15 minutes which put my mind at ease for the rest of our trip. I would definitely recommend checking him out if you live in the area and are looking for a trustworthy mechanic. He could have easily charged us for the quick fix, but instead he helped us out in a jam and got us back on the road in no time.

When the truck wouldn't start, she recommended Ken's Repair Service in Reynolds IN. You never know what kind of repair service you're going to get when you breakdown on a busy interstate and my wife and I were a bit leery. But I could not be more happier with service that Ken's Repair Service provided. Ken looked at the truck and determined the fuel pump was the problem. He even added a little bit of gas just to be sure we were not out of gas. He dropped us off at a nearby Dairy Queen and went back with his tow truck to pick up my truck. It was early afternoon and Ken was able to locate a replacement pump. This was in addition to everything else he had going on that afternoon. It was delivered later that afternoon to his shop. We spent the evening with our daughter in Indianapolis. On Sunday morning, Ken replaced the broken pump and we were heading back to Chicago by noon. The towing charge, labor and parts were reasonably priced. I certainly don't wish anyone an auto breakdown on a busy interstate but if it happen anywhere north of Lafayette, IN contact Ken's Repair Service. 219-863-2990.
