Excellent response time and service. My son’s car had broken down at night and Big Boy’s was able to help us out right away. I had called another towing company, but they were more expensive than Big Boy’s and ended up not being able to help us anyway. If/when I need towing in the future Big Boy’s is going to be my first call.

Perfect example of capitalism at its finest! My motorcycle was involved in an accident with a deer, this company showed up towed my vehicle to their lot rather than the HD dealership that I requested. They are holding up my motorcycle for towing fees plus daily storage. Now they will not even allow my insurance adjuster to come onto the property to look at the bike for appraisal purposes. This accident happened Dec. 1 and I just got out of the hospital last night with a sub dural hematoma as well as other injuries and I'm not allowed to drive for at least two weeks according to the neurosurgeon

I am astonished at the poor customer service provided. As a business owner myself, I would terminate my employees if they ever dared to speak to my clients the way I was spoken to through this company. Angry attitude, and completely careless. I even asked the representative what I did to trigger such a poor attitude. Not only is the staff disrespectful on the phone, our car was taken to the impound instead of the auto body shop that was scheduled (WITHOUT CONSENT OR NOTICE). The only reason we used this company was because it was our insurance arranged this. Never ever again and I cannot recommend

Everytime I was on the phone with someone they were very rude. I’m only 22, I have never had a car towed so I was asking a lot of questions. They told me they were taking my car to the collision center of my choice. Two days later to my surprise my car was not at the shop. It was at their impound. Which I had NO IDEA. So I called confused just wondering where my car was and they were very rude to me. I explained I was just confused I’ve never had to do this before if they could explain it to me. Then the lady I was speaking to, without informing me just hung up the phone and transferred me

The customer service that I just received was horrendous! Someone named Debbie, if that was her name, answered my first call. I was trying to get information about the process of getting a car back that was towed off of private property. I was asking questions about the process and the answers given were in a very rude and condescending manner! All I needed was information to be able to get my nephew's car back. A car that was in an accident and was about to be towed from the property by his roadside assistance. This company arrived to the car first. All of that was fine but if this is how

Towed my oversize vehicle a short distance to a dealer, who had already agreed to do work on my vehicle, but said I had to find my own tow service. This was an insurance breakdown call, so all work was coordinated - flawlessly and quickly - through my insurance company. Tow driver was careful with my oversize 1-ton cutaway truck, friendly, and communicated arrival time with me. Upon taking my vehicle to the dealer for repairs (starter went out), dealer changed their mind about wanting to work on the vehicle, and didn't want to accept the vehicle, leaving me and the tow driver in a pinch as to what

THIS IS THE WORST PLACE. They took my car from triple a then told me to go "f" myself when I asked them if they had any right taking me vehicle. This place can go "f" theirselves with their dusty workers
If I could do no stars I would. And they also took $375 to allow triple a to pick it up.

The gentleman, Gabriel, arrived faster than estimated. After arrival, it only took about 10 minutes to have our truck out of the massive 3ft deep muddy hole in our driveway so we could continue with our day. The staff answering the phones are very kind. The driver was friendly and provided us with exceptional service. I will use them in the future for any towing needs. Thank you Big Boy's-Rolla!

These people price gouge if you have a semi truck choose the people in St. Clair over these guys your pockets will thank you for it. I wasn't gonna do this but they called the police on me after busting up my lights hoping I would get out of service so they would get another 1,800 out of me for going a 1/4 mile! Big Boys towing should be renamed Highway Robbery Towing

With the slowness of insurance aside, they were great! They were very kind and friendly and transparent about every step of the process. They made it easy to trust they would do a great job, which they did. (They strapped in the car really well, they just hadn't done it yet in the picture.)

My insurance company contracted Big Boy as my emergency road service. Big Boy is very undependable and customer is week. Gives bad estimated times of arrival. I canceled the tow through my insurance company and they hired a different tow company. Big Boy called me back appalled that I would cancel the order. Very Rude

Allstate referred me to Big Boys. The driver was asleep in his truck when I approached. After having to wake him up, he then condescendingly told me that it was going to cost me a lot of money to tow. Even after applying the 50 dollar credit from Allstate. I asked if they could just bill the repair shop for the additional cost. The driver then condescendingly said "no way, I am billing you right now, buddy." I refused the tow and took my business elsewhere. Horrible customer service. I will be complaining to Allstate as well. I hope the nap time the driver took cost this company money

Horrible experience with them my insurance used them for a tire change and quoted me 75 minutes. They took over 2 1/2 hours and didn't care at all. When calling in they just continued to tell me it would be 30 minutes to appease me.

When I called the driver his response was "well I don't choose what order they dispatch me" obviously they wanted Geicos money but didn't care to give them an accurate quote. If they had told me 2 1/2 hours up front I would have went somewhere else.

I cannot say enough about how helpful these folks are! My car broke down a mile from my house at night. I walked home and contacted roadside assist through my insurance the next morning. I have small children and dreaded the idea of walking back to my car with the keys to meet the tow truck driver. Big boys agreed to come by my house and pick up my keys so I did not have drag the kids out in the heat and wait. When the driver got to my car, the police were apparently writing me a ticket for abandoning my vehicle. The driver from Big Boys had work with the officer before and convinced him not to

Predatory towing company with exorbitant inpound fees. A descipable extortion racket that would be obliterated by a falling asteroid if there was justice in the universe.

Incredibly helpful. My insurance co. gave them the wrong address, then said their driver couldn't even hook up until they straightened out the paperwork for the claim. ZERO complaints from them about a bad situation, all caused by State Farm. Driver was incredibly nice, so was dispatcher. Thank you!

This is the worst company ever. We were directed to them through Allstate Roadside Assistance after my son ran up off a curb. They were rude, unhelpful and slow. My son called after 30 mins to make sure they had the right location, which they didn't, they had been dispatched to our home, not that they were on the way. He then called a total of 3 more times over 1 1/2 hours and was cut off by the company. His brother picked him up and brought him home and I called. The response I got was " you people have called 10 times already and we have other people to get to. Stop calling and we&apos
