would NOT recommend this place. The driver said he'd be there in two hours. Four hours later I called to see where the tow truck was and was told they were on the way. Eventually I had to reschedule for the next morning. The driver was late by almost two hours. I was quoted a base price for the tow plus $4 a mile. Not bad considering I was getting it towed 5 miles away. When we got to the destination the driver charged me for 35 miles! Telling me that I had to pay for the truck driving from his base. I was not informed that he was coming from Timbuktu! I guess that explains his tardiness. After calling his base the person on the phone basically gave me a "It is as it is" attitude. It was not said but I felt my car was going to be held hostage until I paid. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! read more

Say they are local, but come from south Barrington. Say it would be an hour took 3 hours. They never said that they only take zelle or credit in person and charge 7% credit card in person. Charged $495 for 20 mile tow. Wish I could give 0 stars.. Stay away from this company. Will be reach out to better business bureau also. read more

I requested a quote for a tow and they told me a low price then they gave me an ETA of 35 mins. After over 5 hours they finally arrived. They made me sign a sheet, which I thought was odd. then once i went to pay they almost tripled the price. the office and the tow truck driver said either I pay or they'll impound my car. I called the police, the police gave me some options. they make you sign the sheet because they know they're gonna change the price and it's backup so they don't get sued. The price wasn't on the sheet I signed they want your signature in case you sue them. This place is such a scam. I will be taking legal action. read more

Purposely avoids providing up front pricing prior to hookup, which is against the law (Illinois Vehicle Code under 625 ILCS 5/18d-120) - then demands exorbitant prices in cash threatening impound. Company is rated an F on the Better Business Bureau with multiple similar complaints. Avoid this company. read more

Worst towing experience ever. Was told that we would have a 45 min wait. After that time, we called and they stated that the driver was getting gas and then heading over. After another half hour, we called and he just said that he would have the driver call us. After another 40 minutes, we called back to let him know that we didn't receive a call and wanted an update on arrival. He stated that the driver will call us and then hung up on us. After another 30 minutes we called another towing service and their driver arrived around the stated time. The " Speedy G" service just blew us off. With custome service like that, I'm surprised that they are still in business. I can't even give them one star since they never showed up and would have left us stranded had we not called someone else. read more

DO NOT USE THIS TOWING COMPANY! ABSOLUTE SCAMMERS. ​I am writing this to warn everyone: STAY AWAY. I was quoted a $125 hook-up fee and $4 per mile. Since my car only needed to go 4 miles from my house to the repair shop, the math should have been simple. Instead, as soon as they picked up the car, they demanded $320. ​When I challenged the price, they claimed they have a "50-mile minimum"--a detail they conveniently "forgot" to mention until they already had my vehicle. This is a total bait-and-switch scam. ​Advice to anyone looking for a tow: ​NEVER sign a bill until you see the final price. ​DO NOT let them hook up your car until you have the TOTAL cost in writing. ​ALWAYS ask about "minimum mileage" or hidden fees upfront. ​These people are dishonest and predatory. Save your money and your sanity--call someone else! read more

I have been told $125 to hook up and then $3 per mile. Truck driver forced me to pay $225 + $4 per mile. Ended up paying $400 all together rather than $200. Keep away from these guys. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY ‼ In desperation we called what was listed as the closest tow. Unfortunately, just like every other review we were quoted $125 and $4 per mile and we ended up getting charged $325. We called and they said they were located in a completely different area than we had seen on google. They charged an extra 20 miles because they sent out a tow from a different location. We were towing the car 2 miles away. They said it is non negotiable and were very rude and denied being misleading. They charge miles without your car being towed as well. They said they service many different areas, my question is why didn't they send out a tow from their nearest location? We called a few companies and went with them because it was most affordable. Now it's more than double what we were expecting based on the conversation we had originally. They are money hungry and taking advantage of people in a vulnerable situation. This place had a bad reputation for a good reason. Do. Not. Use. This. Company. read more

This is the only time I've ever wished I could give a zero star review. First off they lied to my face about the price and it ended up being over double of what they estimated and on top of that they were 3 hours late. read more

THIS IS A SCAM DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICE. For a 27-mile motorcycle tow they charged me $800 dollar, with a $100 dollar fuel surcharge they never mentioned. They never provided a total cost breakdown before the service. The hourly rate of $195 is port-to-port, which is a scam because their home base is very far away, which means they can charge extra hours coming to your location and getting back. The total service took less than 1 hour from when they pick up the bike to drop-off. From the time I first called to the drop-off is less than 2 hours. Yet they charged me for 3.5 hours plus the fuel surcharge. I REPEAT AVOID THEM AT ALL COST. I will seek legal actions against their owner, hopefully to shut them down for good. read more

or you're calling for service they gave your pricing you agreed to the pricing. Had to call four times1 of those times was driver's on his way. Will call me shortly. Second time was driver's truck broke down. Another truck has to go by third time. Left me on hold for 13 minutes last call was a rude gentleman When Car was finally dropped off, hit you with several fees that were not even explained over the phone from a $260 approximately to less than 25 miles they charge $450 and gave me attitude while I was for explanations why was it so much extra If you have extra money laying around and want people playing around with you, call them. Good luck. read more

This company is a rip off and fraudulent. My daughter had an accident and called this place. I told her to make sure they give her their pricing. They told her $125 flat fee and $4 per mile. She confirmed twice! It was 47 miles away okay $313. They get here and it's $525. We called and the dispatcher tells me she signed the paper and it's $125 flat, $4 per mile this includes the miles where the tow truck was coming to get her and the miles home and a fuel surcharge of $88. I said let me see what you signed - the only thing on the paper was the flat charge of $125 and $4 a mile. I have never had a tow truck company charge from the mileage from where they were coming from to the pick up location and to charge mileage and fuel. If that's your policy, fine but tell people that up front; otherwise, we would have called around to other places. Then when I called dispatch to complain the guy tells me that it's their policy - either you pay it or your car will go to the pound doesn't matter to me. I asked for his name and he tells me Mindya so I said Mindya what and he said business - so unprofessional and I recorded all of it and let him know I was recording it and he says so what I don't care - later to find out his name is Oscar. I will be contacting the better business bureau on today. I wish I would have read the other reviews. read more

DO NOT CALL/USE THIS COMPANY. This company operates solely through using predatory and unethical practices. I highly recommend all those who have also been affected by their bait and switch tactic as my family has to file a formal complaint with the ICC at: https://icc.illinois.gov/api/web-management/documents/downloads/public/mc/Safety%20Relocator%20Complaint%20Form.pdf E-mail this form to: ICC.Police-DesPlaines-Office@illinois.gov Make sure to attach the invoice I'm sure they provided you AFTER towing your car or truck, that you haven't signed because you never agreed to the rates they invented to ensure you're robbed of your money or your truck. They have multiple citations for this exact thing, hopefully, the ICC finally revokes their relocator license because this is disgusting. They know very well they need to be disclosing their costs and providing you an invoice PRIOR to towing your car. And this is coming from a towing business owner! Shame on y'all, you give this entire industry a horrible name! You've wronged the right ones this time though. You charge a $225 fuel surcharge and a $500 boom lift fee on top of the port to port?? Considering you didn't even disconnect the driveshaft? You hooked us FROM THE BACK after we helped you attach to us. $1,574.56 for a 10 mile tow is insane, then you threaten to impound our truck for non payment after you've provided us no invoice prior to towing, or breakdown of costs on site? Emailing an invoice after a tow is completed and paid for does not count for anything. Predators. Just watch this- https://youtu.be/KqO9eJ82mJs?si=bgO01uZV74pE0Yoq read more

Speedy G Towing - Truck being hooked from the back, no driveshaft disconnection. - Towing Near Me - South Barrington, Illinois

I had called Speedy G Towing on December 15th 2025 for an estimated tow for 6 miles to an auto shop from my location. The price agreed upon was $175 over the phone ($125 for the hook up, $4 for every mile), I deliberately asked if there were any hidden fees, and I was assured there were none and that the price was final. Once the tow got to me I was told it would be $373 after the tow guy said he had to call again to "confirm the amount", after I received the receipt for 175! Speedy G is rated an F with the BBB, and will not lower and unhook your car even before you sign any documentation. The customer support is a scam and not to be trusted! I'd give the company and the experience 0 stars if it was possible! Clearly in the photo it shows $175 total! read more

They give you no information on cost unless you ask them right away on the phone, and then it doesn't even matter because THEY CHANGE THE PRICE AFTER YOUR CAR IS HOOKED UP! I was told $150 plus 5 dollars per mile from pickup to dropoff. My home was 5 minutes away all 35mph residential roads. We pull up to my house and the driver ASKS ME WHAT I WAS TOLD THE PRICE WAS!! That alone tells you that they switch. I tell him this exactly and he just laughs. My total price was $250! See NOW I start to read the reviews as I type this and it's all the same.

Please DO NOT use them. I am a very honest person and I am telling you they will take your money and lie to you. Long story short, my husband was stuck at a store due to the gears locking up. He gave towing companies a call, but it was Friday at 5 PM. This company answered. When asked how much it will cost the dispatcher said $150 plus $4 dollars per mile after that. We booked him because they had to tow it just 2 miles away. The dispatcher said he is about 30 minutes away. Over an hour went by, and he came. We told him to follow us. As we arrived less than 5 minutes away my husband gets out as I sit in the car with my 5 year old son and 3 1/2 special needs daughter. He came back and the man charged us $400!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got out to communicate with him. I told him "Can you please tell me the breakdown of this cost for my husband called and they said $125 and $4 per mile after that. We honestly just cant afford this" The man had the audacity to turn to me and say with a smirk on his face, "Well, he already paid it and turned his back!" I started to get really upset, because I have never encountered being screwed over and disrespected like that. I again asked for the breakdown and he said you can call the dispatcher but they charge from the location the tow truck was. I asked where he was coming from then and he looked at me as if I were stupid and said, " Um... Schuamburg?" I quickly googled that location and what pops on my cell : Permanently CLOSED. I still checked the distance from the store my husband was stalled at and the "closed" Schuamburg location and it was 11 miles away (11 miles x $4 = 44 dollars) I knew it wasn't Schaumburg because the truck said South Barrington. So I checked Schaumburg location in relation to where my husband was stalled and it was 13 miles away ( 13 miles x $4 = $52) I asked for the direct number for the dispatcher so I can please go over the pricing. This man turned around and told us that we shouldn't raise our voices at him and that we can deal with the dispatcher. (WE NEVER RAISED OUR VOICES - we have a son in the car watching, and we were both calm!) He hands over the keys and my husband, who wouldnt hurt a fly takes them. This man turns and says "snatching the keys from me huh? " Listen, this man made my skin crawl and feel unbelievably uncomfortable. He talked to use like dirt with pure unprofessionalism. I ended up taking a photo of this trunk and called the "dispatcher." He picked up and I briefly went over what my issue was. He goes " What car? What brand?" Ok, Ill transfer you.... and HANGS up. I literally had enough by this point - I am in the car with my son who is aware of what I say on the phone, so I continued to be very nice and calm. I called back. A guy picks up and says "Ill have someone call you very soon." I asked "Do you mind telling me when soon is, like tonight or tomorrow?" He responds with "I don't know, no one is here so maybe like Monday" Did I get a call? Of course not. I never write reviews, but please don't use them. I know when you have car issues your stress increases, but I can promise you this company will increase your BP and stress 100% more. wait the extra time for a reliable, professional towing company. PLEASE don't get involved with them. They are rude and made me feel scared to ask questions. read more

Speedy G Towing - Towing Near Me - South Barrington, Illinois

I would give zero stars if I could. The price was quoted at $125 hookup and $4 for every mile. Apparently they charge for the TOW TRUCK'S mileage from the yard to the vehicle, from the vehicle to the destination (obviously), and from the destination back to THEIR yard. A four mile two turned into an over $300 SCAM. Not to mention that in those four miles, the driver misplaced my fob and for 20 minutes, couldn't find it. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

I called ahead of time and they were not transparent about their pricing. They informed me it would be $125 for the hook up and $4 per mile, so when my total came out to $345 i was quite confused. I called back and they told me they also charge how many miles the tow truck has to drive to get to my location, I was also never informed of the tow trucks location prior to it's arrival to mine. Had I known this information ahead of time I never would have used their service. The actual tow truck driver however provided excellent service. read more

I should have read the reviews! They are a bunch of scammers. I all called and was told it would be 125 plus 4 dollars a mile. I moved my car 1 mile! 1! And after it was moved they told me it was 295 plus fees $314. 314 for 1 mile! It was ridiculous! They paper I signed said 125 and 4 which would be 129 before tax. Do NOT USE THIS BUSINESS! They lie and scam. The only positive was the driver was a nice kid, but still it's UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. read more

Speedy G Towing - Receipt from tow. - Towing Near Me - South Barrington, Illinois

Total scam. They gave me a quote over the phone of $120 plus $4 a mile. They didnt tell me that they were going to count, round trip, from their location and they conveniently forgot the $65 fuel charge. At this point they have my vehicle on their truck and I have no recourse. Call the office and Oscar's only response is, $350, that is what the company charges. Then to top it all off, they give me an invoice for insurance and only make it for $120! Complete scam company, do not use them. Worst experience ever. read more

Tow truck driver was awesome! The billing practices are very deceptive! You'll be quoted $125 hookup and $4 a mile. But they won't tell you that it's total mileage to and from their fac which jacks up the cost!!!! Beware!!!!! read more

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. FRAUD! Was quoted $125 plus $4/mile. What they fail to tell you after they keep your vehicle hostage, is they charge mileage to/from yard, plus pickup to drop off.

We recently called this company for a basic winch-out on an empty semi truck and trailer that was stuck on snow and ice. They never disclosed any pricing before dispatching or performing the service. After pulling the truck out, they presented a bill for $5,572. For comparison, we had a nearly identical winch-out done the day before by another company for $650, which is typical for the industry. When we questioned the charges, the operator refused to unhook or release our truck until the full amount was paid. This experience felt extremely predatory and completely unreasonable. We have reported them to the Attorney General's office in both the State of Illinois and State of Missouri in hopes that they will intervene with this predatory company. 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

Avoid This Towing Company at All Costs! If I could give zero stars, I would. This company is nothing but a scam. They towed my vehicle a mere 2 miles (6minutes away) and then hit me with an outrageous $2,000 bill--without ever disclosing the cost upfront. My driver wasn't informed of the price until AFTER they dropped the truck at the mechanic, leaving us no choice but to pay their insane fee. This is predatory, dishonest, and completely unacceptable. A tow should never cost this much for such a short distance. If you need towing, find another company unless you enjoy getting ripped off. I will be reporting them to the BBB and my state's attorney general for their unethical business practices. Do yourself a favor--stay far away from these scammers! read more

Should have read the reviews but was in a panic . Stuck on a busy street and it was 95 out. They quoted me $140 plus $4 per mile . They were coming from Hillside not too far but failed to inform me I would have to pay for the truck to return to its "home" base which was South Barrington $585 later I wonder how these folks sleep at night . I'm not upset because Karma is a bitch and will catch up with these crooks . I hope this review will help others . read more

I recently used them for a tow on a vehicle I had in Bolingbrook. When I called, they said the serviced that area and that they would be there within 45 minutes. At no point did they tell me where they were located and/or how much they charged. When the driver showed up, he did tell me that it was going to be $295 per hour. I was okay with that because it was only going 7 miles and they were onsite and ready to go. The driver was good, and my vehicle arrived safely, but the final charge was $944. When I called to straighten out what I thought was a mistake, they told me that they charge "port to port"...meaning they start the clock when they leave their shop (1 hour away) until they get back. Almost $1000 for a 7-mile tow. What a weaselly way of doing business. Do not use! read more

If I could give this a zero star I would, had an emergency situation so I used the first towing company I could find which was this one.

This is shameful behavior and the owners or managers should be fired and ashamed read more
