Like... uh, bill upon sale is quite damn necessary. I had already purchased the part for my vehicle that needed to be replaced, so all they needed to do was install it. They installed the part correctly. However... I started to realize something was off with my car and found out they had not put the passengers front wheel back on at the correct level. It was way lower than the rest of the wheels. This was carelessness on the mechanics part. I was so frustrated I just fixed it myself. On the plus side they were friendly. But I can't see myself going back here. It was unfortunate for this to be my first time experience here.

I am writing this review on behalf of all my experiences with Limitless Towing. I had at times…read morefound myself in a rut with irresolvable problems that I couldn't acquaintance to be met with my skills as a mechanic. I have personally worked with Gustavo on a multitude of such occasions where when I'm a in rut without a doubt I would always phone him. His kindness alongside professionalism is always appreciated and never the less, and he always goes above and beyond at his job and sincerely cares and puts effort in taking care of not only my vehicles but also my friends and family's vehicles alongside his other clients he's always been very kind and supportive in circumstances where I freak out at times during summer I had a friend come from Wisconsin a Manuel Subaru, unfortunately, she blew the engine on the highway due to her lack of knowledge of how to properly drive a stick shift, we were alongside a busy highway and Gustavo was able to get us out of the situation very fast he was very understanding and he got a driver to come and get us within less than 20 minutes! Talk about quick and efficient, another occasion was with a catfish Camaro I had, it was a project car and I initially had it sitting and I decided to drive on it briefly eyeing the tires. I drove on a flat tire after paying respects at a cemetery and couldn't make it home due to my rim scraping alongside the tire completely demolished and I had to get my car towed his brother was very caring as they initially thought someone broke into the car (it was a project car) they quickly and efficiently called me to let me know my door was opened. On another occasion, I had to get a BMW towed and Gustavo was able to do it in a very precise timely manner alongside with delicacy and care! Foreign cars are a hassle so the careful delicacy of being in the automotive industry at times I find myself helping others more with their vehicles by providing potential clients with Limitless towing services alongside friends and family, I recently sold another Camaro of mine and was able to provide the new owner Gustavo's services with Limitless towing, I would never give out recommendations to anyone unless I knew for a fact that they would be able to go above and beyond and provide excellent care and service, I've also junked a Nissan Murano with them so whenever someone asks me about a towing, junk yard removal, lockout service, I always send my best wishes to Gustavo and his family! The quick efficiency, professionalism, kindness, and care, always go above and beyond and always exceed my high standards. Today I got a Nissan towed alongside my BMW Gustavo was quick efficient and friendly as always, and I have never encountered a negative experience with Gustavo and his company. He always maintains the vehicles with care, I've never personally or my friends or family ever reported any diligence along any sort of disrespect. For me, this is the best towing company I've encountered ( trust me I've encountered a lot) you will never have to worry about this company's commitment to providing great efficient reliable services. They do tire changes alongside, lockout services, I'm always impressed and satisfied with every outcome on behalf of myself, my friends, and my family. You absolutely will never have to worry about dishonesty with this company. This is top tier this is the business you want, I promise you won't regret it! (I don't break promises)

Dave, the owner (who was also short handed because one of his guys had Covid), took out so much of his own time fighting for me against my warranty company, who sucks ass by the way, to get them to pay for the repairs. They declined it. Sipe's didn't charge me a dime. They even kept my car on there lot until I found a place to put it. I have never met these guys before, I am new in town. It's hard to find nice people now a days . It seems like when you're struggling nobody cares, I can honestly say that's not the case here. Truly good people.

I had Barnes Automotive replace the components on the cab and repair, prep, paint the cab and prep, paint and install a pickup box that I bought in California. It turned out so well that my dad probably wouldn't know it from when he drove it off the dealership's lot in 1999. It should last me as long as I'll be driving due to Jack Barnes' excellent attention to rust prevention which included using the same sprayed on bed liner on the underside of the box as he sprayed inside the box. They also cleaned, prepped, and paintEd the frame with a rust resistant pain. Thanks Jack and Jackie for your great work and excellent service.

"Tilford's Towing" should not have the exclusive , or any contract to remove cars from North Boone High School ( refer to N.B.H.S Handbook page 35). Tilford is the person responsible for threatening to blow up the school on Sept. 24 2009. This is a conflict of interest and a huge safety risk ! read more
