GO ELSEWHERE. I called this company for what I foolishly assumed was a fairly straightforward…read moretransaction: take broken truck, put truck on tow truck, bring truck to dealership. Apparently I was asking them to split the atom. Their intake person accepted the tow without bothering to get my name, payment information, or apparently enough information to complete the tow they had just agreed to perform. They obviously had my phone number--I CALLED THEM--and I also gave them my license plate number. Yet somehow they arrived at the dealership unable to tell them who the truck belonged to or give them my phone number. That's impressive. Miraculously, they managed to locate my truck. They even managed to find the dealership. They successfully transported one to the other. Then, approximately six feet from accomplishing the entire purpose of the business, they were out of ideas. Apparently nobody thought: "Hey, maybe give the dealership the phone number of the guy who called us?" Nope. These logistical visionaries had a better idea: TOW IT BACK. So their botched intake created a completely unnecessary second tow--which, in a breathtaking coincidence, I was expected to pay for. Then they wanted to charge me AGAIN to take it back to the dealership. Now we're getting somewhere. Screw up the intake. Fail to complete the job. Charge the customer for the failure. Then charge him again to fix it. Say what you will about the towing operation--the billing department appears to be functioning beautifully. When I challenged this nonsense, they accused me of avoiding payment and they repeatedly insisted they'd left me "multiple voicemails." Except they hadn't. Zero. Not one. I checked. Apparently their voicemails are like their successful deliveries: they insist they exist, but I couldn't find one. I finally paid for two tows just to get my truck away from this circus and hired their competitor to finish the job. And somehow, without a task force, a strategy session, or intervention from the National Guard, the other company managed to: pick up truck tow truck leave truck. Remarkable. Scientists will be studying the breakthrough for years.

Jacob picked me up a few minutes after I called. I was expecting to pay $125-150 but it was only…read more$100. He was pleasant and helped me determine where to have my car towed.

We were involved in a scary 4 car pileup late at night, during the the rain on I80…read more It was a chaotic scene. When BJ arrived he made me feel that was TRULY there to help in any way needed and was so calming. Which in turn made me feel calm in this horrible situation. He towed our truck to his shop that had a new sofa in the bed that we had just purchased that day. He maintained excellent communication with me. When we went to his the shop the next day to pick up the sofa, it was only my daughter and myself that could make it. BJ and his buddy loaded the sofa in our truck and strapped it down for us. I am forever grateful for his kindness and help that he provided to us during this tragic time. He is an angel.

On June 29, 2022, my 1996 Chevy Corvette had a tire blowout on interstate 80. I pulled over to the…read moreside of the road and attempted to get the spare tire out but I was unable to release it from the undercarriage of the car. It seemed stuck. I saw that BJ's Towing Service was a short distance away so I decided to call them for help as a last resort. (I do not have a lot of money on me typically. I do live pay check to pay check. I was a little anxious even calling them. In the past, at such a short distance, I've paid around $60 or so for towing services. I had $125 in my account at that time.) I thought they could possibly get my tire down and put it on for me or at least get me off the side of the road. When the tow person arrived, there was NO attempt to change my tire. Didn't even look at it or try. He just hauled my car away to the shop. No special, out of the ordinary care was given to my vehicle. I watched as it was hooked up and secured. The shop was about 12 miles away according to my cell phone. Quite a bit of time passed as I waited in the tire shop (which is apparently a separate business from the towing company.) The guy came back and gave me a bill for $247.50. I just about fell over backwards. I told the guy I didn't have that much on me. I could give him the $120 that I did have. He seemed annoyed and said he'd have to go talk to his boss. That they don't do payment plans. After some time he came back. They decided if I left my debit card information and my personal information and promised to pay the balance as soon as I could get it back into my account they would let me have my car back. I hadn't even figured out what I was doing about my tire, yet. I said this to the guy. He basically said that was not his problem, that was the other business that is there that handles that problem. I was thinking, "great." Now I owe money to the tow people and I still haven't got my car back AND I'm broke. All I really wanted was my spare put on my car. By the way, the tow guy told me he would have charged me double if he had put my tire on for me. He also went on to say that "My boss isn't trying to get rich. He's just trying to help people." Two words... Price Gouging Regardless of whatever fees extra they charged, they still charged me $100 for the mileage alone. According to my research, the average is $2.50 to $7.00 per mile. The greater amount usually being charged to big companies, like trucking companies. $100 divided by 12 miles equals $8.33 per mile charged. In addition to the other $125 Towing Charge and an additional fee of $22.50 for taxes, I assume. Thank you BJ's Towing for making a really bad day even worse. It was all I could do to leave that place with a little dignity by putting my sunglasses on before anyone could see me tearing up out of frustration. (Thankfully, the tire shop waived the fee for putting my donut on my car. The tow company wasn't too concerned about my tire or how that was getting paid for.) Also, my spare was good. The guy wouldn't change it because it was on a Corvette. Corvette's have a low carriage. He wouldn't even mess with it.
