Too expensive. Raked me over the coals. More than twice as expensive than I paid for a tow in the middle of a snow storm about six months ago. I understand the fuel surcharge but the hook up was too much, the dead head mileage? Really?! and a convenience fee? Over the top. read more

I scheduled an appointment the evening before for 8:00-8:30am. That didn't happen . The driver texted me to call him. 1. His English wasn't clear. 2.He asked if I needed the service. I explained this was supposed to be a scheduled tow. $10.00 extra was added to my bill. Never again . Poor service, poor management . I would rate no star at all. read more

This company's actions are completely illegal & they are scammers. They gave me a quote for a tow, originally I was kind of okay with paying and they gave me an ETA of 35 mins. over 5 hours later they finally show up, almost tripled the price from the original quote I was given and told me they would impound my car unless I paid. terrible terrible company I plan on taking legal action and posting about my experience everywhere I can. They need to be shut down! read more

Just stay away... I wish I would have read the reviews before I called! My wife called to get her car towed because it wouldn't start. The dispatcher told us that they serviced our area, were close and would be out in less than 30 minutes. They quoted us $95 to hook up the car an $4/mile to the destination. After 45 minutes of waiting, we called back and they said the driver was still 15-20 minutes away. We ended up waiting almost 1.5 hours. The driver came and he was very friendly. I asked if he could try to jump it before he hooked it up. He hooked up the jump box and it started up - took him 5 minutes. I asked him what we owed for the jump and show up time. He called the owner and he told the driver to charge us $175. I immediately called back and that was abusive and not what they quoted. The owner said that we needed to pay for his time to drive to our vehicle even though they told us they were close by and serviced the area. After a brief argument, he finally agreed to pay a $95 show up fee. Save yourself a headache and just go to somewhere else. read more

I was charged $250 for someone to meet me in a residential neighborhood and change my tire using MY OWN SPARE AND PARTS!!!! He refused to tell me the price up front but did not allow me to leave until I paid. He also asked me numerous personal questions like if I was single or married, and for my social media!!!!! Lawsuit waiting to happen. Watch out. read more

My son had a flat tire and no spare so he called this company. They quoted him 150 plus 4.00 a mile. The car place he had it towed to was 8 to 10 miles away When the driver gave him the bill is 361 nothing on the receipt of how many miles it was. There was a 20 percent surge charge for fuel. My son questioned it ,but the driver said after he had the car hooked up ...That is the charge. I as a mother called the company asking for the owner They either hang up on you or never call you back. They play on customers mercy. Biggest scammers around. I have filed with attorney general so this will not happen to others. So many complaints on this company and they should be shut done. read more

These guys are liars! I asked for a quote and they said 125 for hookup and then $4 a mile. I asked for the full quote with addresses provided and they said I had to figure the mileage between pick-up and delivery which was 10 miles. Once we got to my house they said I also had to pay for the driver to get to my vehicle which added $200 extra dollars. They scamming people. How would I know where their coming from and they told me they would be quick because they had two truck near by. Don't use these guys. Complete lying p.o.s. read more

Speedy G Towing - SCAM!SCAM!SCAM!SCAM 1485$ bill- for 2 mile towing. See any other options but not this one. - Towing Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

If I could give them a zero I would. They just charged me $240.19 to tow my car 2 miles. Which included a 6.75% fee for using my credit card. What is worst is I was not told how much the tow would cost until my car was on the flatbed. When I protested, I was told it would cost the same amount for them to unhook it. This company should not be doing business. read more

Let me lead off by saying, the tow driver was great, complete professional, zero issues with that. My issue is the cost, I had my Honda coupe towed 3 miles and 2 in the afternoon for 352$. There's a 250$ hook up charge. Along with a 56$ fuel surcharge. Had the dispatcher told me that prior to sending them out i definitely would of looked elsewhere. I was excepting a 200$ tow max, it's 3 miles. Been in the auto repair industry for over 15 years, and I've never seen a 250$ hook up charge for a passenger vehicle. I would definitely ask them up front for the actual price before having any services performed, almost seems like they are praying on people when they are in a bad situation. read more

Terrible service I paid 240 for my car to get towed for a 3 minute towing service. They charge for the price to get to me which I did the math and it would have been 160 they stole 80 extra bucks from me. DO NOT USE THIS TOWING COMPANY THEY HONESLTY SHOULD BE SUEDE read more

They towed my car wich is a small sedan to my house. About 3 miles trip and charge me $200 00plus $10.00charge for paying with credit card .I will never hire them again read more

Fast, prompt service but far too costly. I had to get my vehicle towed out from my parking space. It took them maybe fifteen minutes total to get the work done (towing the vehicle out, shoveling out some of the snow and ice that had built up around). Very courteous, though the gentleman who helped me was not wearing a mask or gloves. Had the cost been reasonable- even under $150, I would have had no issues at all. But for that work, I was charged $395. I was told it would have been $295 but for the fact that I have an out of state license. I did not check the Yelp reviews beforehand. That is my fault. But I can add another one star review in the hope that others are more careful or, perhaps, that the company might lower their fees to more reasonable rates in the future. read more

I had them tow my truck and they are crooks to the point that I think is illegal. I made the mistake of not checking reviews first so please take this warning and look for another service. read more

My son's truck stopped in the middle of the road and I called to have his truck towed to his house about a mile down the road. I gave the driver my info and he said he would call me back I was never given a price. Next call he was outside with my truck and said it was 295. I wasn't told of this price before he put it on the truck and since I didn't have 295 so he took my truck 21 miles away from my house. My husband tried to call and talk to dispatch "mark" that what he said was his name said that's not his problem and was very rude and hung up on me several times blocking my number. Scammers would not recommend. Help read more

Needed a brake chamber that normally costs $300 with labor all. They' said they had a service truck in my area a mile away. So quick response all said am done the bill was $1600 $1300 over priced figure $600 would of been ok since it was a road service call. But $1600 that's abusive and absurd never again. Be careful ask how much first read more

STAY AWAY! One star is a gift. This place is a total scam. Called twice in advance to confirm the rate was $125 for the hook up + $4/mile FROM the pickup destination. What should have been $225 was $565! They charged per mile for the 40 mile drive from their shop then the pickup and mileage to the destination plus a $35 "convenience fee." Called the office to ask about the discrepancy and they were unwilling to discuss the rate. What made it even worse was this was a trip to bring back an antique vehicle I restored with my father over twenty years ago and that I have not had in my possession in eight years since my father's passing. Just terrible. read more

Speedy G Towing - Towing Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

Do not use this garbage company ever!!! They overcharge and will leave your car in shambles at the repair shop!!! They charged $759.50 for a tow that was two hours late (the shop to drop the car at was 2 miles away) and the driver ruined the car literally letting it slide off the bed in front of the repair shop without regard to the fact that he blocked the shop in. Added insult; he made jokes about the cost of tow, total trash!! read more

Zero stars for costumer service. read more

Was told a truck would arrive in 40 minutes. 40 minutes later I called and was told the tow truck driver would call me. 40 minutes later I call and my phone number has been blocked. F on the BBB rating, and rightfully so. Considering a class action lawsuit for those who have been scammed. read more

This tow company is up to no good. When I Google nearby tow company they popped up as cheap and affordable. For only $65 and stated they was located in Des plaines. I wàs going to get it tow to my house coming from the airport which is 12 miles. They never give me a price. By a truck breaking down at the airport I dot came and took me too a gas station. While I was at the gas station I decided to check my coolant to see if my car was over heating. Oddly I locked my keys in the truck. Long story short. I had to use the gas station phone to call this tow company and let them know my new location. As I'm waiting I see security and ask him do he have anything to open my truck; because I was locked out. Yes. He did. So the tow truck company finally come. I jumped my truck it started, but beginning to sound weird. The tow truck guy beginning to check out the vehicle and said I needed a alternator and a belt. If I like he can take me to a shop 5 minutes away. He call the guy and he said he can look at it. The price of my tow from 840 Bessie Coleman Blvd to 1668 lee st which is is only 2 miles more then 4 miles cast me $360. I asked him why is it so much to go 2 miles. He say it took him 17 miles to get to me $195 hook up fee $60 gas or service fee, and $4 per mile I tried calling to get a better price and understanding of the services I was receiving. But before I call the driver said he can do $300 the guy on the phone said $325 and when he broke down the price he said the hook up fee was$125 and $4 per mile. Never mentioned any of the other fees and miles it took them to come to me. I agreed to the $300 because they threaten to in pow my truck for non payment. When I give him my debit card he took me it was another $ 20 fee for using my debit card. I just paid and was blue. I would never use this company again and if you don't want no problem financially in addition to your vehicle problem. I would not use them for a tow or any services every. Run for the hills. read more

Deceiving and fraud. That should be their name. They charged my son $468 to pull his car. My son doesn't know much about towing and when they showed up they pulled his car and said here is the bill. Inconsiderate and complete fraud. I will be contacting my credit card company and filing this as unauthorized and fraudulent transaction. It should have been $168. Never ever use them. read more

Total scam and rip off. While waiting for Speedy to come pull me back on the road, a neighbor asked if I wanted him to do it. I said no they should be here soon. I did not know they charged 120.00 winch fee plus 5.00 per foot of cable they unwind. That explains why they parked so far away to pull me back on the road. 100' of cable 500.00 winch fee 120.00 convenience fee! 24.80 Total $ 644.80 Oh My read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU NEED A TOW!! The battery in my car died approximately 5-6 miles away from the automobile repair shop that I go to. I was charged $296. IMO that is ridiculous! I pray that this place goes out of business for taking advantage of people when they're in vulnerable situations. Also, they deleted my review on their website which I'm sure they do that quite often to people who are not giving them high ratings. read more

Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT use this company! While the driver was nice, The company uses bait and switch tactics. We had a vehicle towed that was broken down. We called dispatch and we are told it would be $125 for a hookup and $4 a mile. These prices are within out budget so we agree. The Driver gets there tells us it will be 12 miles to get from where we are at to the location. He hooks up the vehicle no problem. Gets the vehicle to the location we need it at for repairs and the driver tells us the charge is over $100 more. The hook up fee is now $199 and somehow its now 17 miles from where we where after we where told it was 12. We called dispatch to find out why the hookup fee is now $199 and he throws out some BS of we are charging you from where the dispatch location. He tells you one price then when you call them out the BS they try to take you r vehicle after the fact this is BULL SHIT. Someone need regulate company's that pull this. read more
