My husband collects International Harvester vehicles. He has passed this hobby (translation: obsession) on to my sons. My oldest child is the proud owner of a 1947 US Military ambulance made by IH. He's restoring it. The husband owns two Scouts and a big ass truck. None of these vehicles actually move at the moment. Anyhoo. In order to save a ton of money on parts, we bought yet another International Harvester truck. This one is a rust bucket with lots of salvageable parts. It was also located about 80 miles from home and not drivable. So, Sexy Beast bought this truck and enlisted the services of Coleson Transport to move the rust bucket to our location. We were quoted a price of "somewhere between $250 and $350" (translation: $350). The driver arrived with his friend in tow (pun intended) over 30 minutes later than estimated. The loading process went smoothly and quickly. This is where it gets interesting. Rather than follow Sexy Beast to the final destination, the driver decided to rely on his GPS device to guide him (claiming it was a quicker route). So, Sexy Beast follows them until they pull into a Burger King parking lot. Everyone grabs a burger. At this point, the driver announces that he is now going in the opposite direction of the final destination. Everyone gets back in their respective vehicles and the driver leads the posse around in the wrong direction yet again. At this point, he concedes to follow the resident of the destination address. Upon arrival, unloading was smooth and quick. The next day, we get a call from the co-owner of the business who wants to up-charge. She claimed that the charge of $350 was an undercharge. Now, these guys charge by the mile. The fact that they lead everyone around needlessly for miles and stopped for dinner should have resulted in a refund. It didn't. This woman went on about charging $50 more and then conceded to "just charge another $10". She spoke with Sexy Beast. She did not speak with me. The ending of that conversation would have been significantly different had she spoken with me. So, to summarize: They will show up late, load the vehicle, drive it around so they can charge a ton, drop it off, then (after it's all over and they have access to your credit card information) try to tack on additional charges. Do yourself a favor, call someone else. We certainly will the next time we need a car moved. read more

Called for wrecker for my mustang with broken balljoint or tierod ir something in the front end. Some hilljack with a trailer shows up and i said to him, "how are you gonna tow that with the trailet and not damage it?" This fella says "i do this all the time". I had to leave so i should have just said, ill call someone else for $125...now im having a hard time getting them to pay for the bumper the ripped off and the fender they smashed up because they tried to drive it onto a trailer. Needless to say the shop sais it was towed in like that and the owner told me to get lost its my fault the balljoint broke im tje first place. Bottom line: hire someone who has a tow truck read more

The transmission went out on my second car and they towed it for me for only $60, the best price I could find in town. The man that caame to tow the car was friendly and happy to answer all the questions that myself and mom had. read more

Short tow. No drama. $60. Professional. Hauled my heavier-than-normal truck. Arrived when he said he would. Could have been much worse. Could have been $45. read more

This is the most low class, unprofessional business I have ever had to deal with. Not only was the owner rude to me on the phone when I called them after they towed my car unlawfully; they arrived twenty minutes late to their tow yard with his "homies." During the transaction, the owner was smoking a cigarette. He also was making laws up on the spot and telling me that he could up charge me for no reason. Also, his friend was checking my friend out in the most obvious way possible and we both felt very violated. He asked to see my registration and license and my parents names were obviously on my registration. If he was smart enough, he would have noticed my license and registration had the same address on them and last name as my parents. He then proceeded to make me call my mom to prove that the names were my own parents. You should not feel this unsafe and violated and cheated out of your money when you are just trying to pick your car up from a tow yard. read more

Called for a tow from Firestone, because they (Firestone) wanted to charge me around $750-$800 for a brake repair (among several other things that went wrong). I couldn't afford all of that, so I called Coleson to get a tow back to my house. On the phone, I let Eric (the tow guy!) know what had happened, and he offered to have his guys take a look at the car and see what was up with it, to see if he could offer a competitive price. For $60 (flat fee - not sure what this other reviewer was talking about) my car was picked up from the Firestone over by College Mall, and towed to their shop off of Vernal Pike. At this point, it was about 7pm. They took a look at the car, even though it was after hours. First thing the next morning they started working on it. For less than half of what Firestone was going to charge me, I got the tow, repairs, an oil change, and a nail in my tire fixed. I picked up the car early afternoon, and the guys who repaired it took the time to explain everything they did, answered ALL of my questions, and even laid out a plan of what else needs to be done to keep my car in good shape and safe - it has just about 160,000 miles, so things are bound to happen. Knowing what was most important to fix, and when, was incredibly helpful. I'm not mechanically inclined at all, so having a better understanding of my vehicle is important. Eric called me later that day to ask how the car was, and if everything went smoothly (he runs the towing, 2 other men are the mechanics). The customer service, with each person I encountered, was phenomenal. I absolutely will take my car back there again - next thing, the timing belt! Joy. At least now I know I have found a reliable place in Bloomington. Something hard to find anywhere! If they asked who sent you, tell them Jessica :) read more

Eric was great! He was PROMPT, honest, kind and helpful. I will use him for any future towing, car jumps and lockouts in the future. Thank you! read more
