Please do not go to this place, save your time, money, and stress. I have gone to this garage 3 times now and cant say I would recommend them.
When I first brought the car in, I found myself stranded within the week of getting it back and ended up taking it back to the shop. Thankfully after the second visit my car was completely fix and I was able to drive around as normal.
The third time I had it taken in (months after second visit) I was stranded in a parking lot. I called, described my car and gave my information, and said that my car would not start. I was FULLY prepared to pay for towing

Our daughter was in a car wreck and her car was towed here. By the time my husband and I were able to get there it was after hours and the staff were going home, but they opened back up to let us see the car (what was left of it) and grab a few things. Trevor was especially kind and helpful. Thank you!!

Worst Service Ever. A cash grab business with no respect or care for you. If you get your truck fixes here and leave it a few days expect a storage fee to be added on.

Our truck broke down at a stop light and needed a tow. They misdiagnosed the problem initially and replaced the cylinders. We kept trying to ask questions on what was taking so long since they told us our truck should be done by morning but they kept hanging up on us and arguing. Finally when they got back to us they said it was the clutch (our own mechanic said it was the clutch and told them to check the clutch before they started working on anything). We decided to send our own mechanics out to get it and fix it ourselves. We tried to pay with a card or company check (they said this was fine

Always great service and they do their jobs well! These guys are top notch in the business and you can certainly tell. They have the equipment and experience to do about any wreck you can imagine. No doubt they are the best in the area for sure!

We broke down at the beach in Mattoon Saturday. I called these guys and the driver was very friendly and happy (at least I felt that he was) to interrupt his Saturday to come rescue us. After 25 min or so I temporarily fixed my issue so I could drive my car home. We called to say we didn’t need his tow service and he actually was happy about it. He was not upset at all. We said we would pay an amount he felt was worth his time and trouble to interrupt his Saturday to come to us and he DIDNT want any payment. Today I will be bringing my car to these folks to fix my issue with my shifter. After

I saw a few negative reviews. BOGUS!!! I have used Bartley twice on some hairy stuff. Trevor (operator) has been EXTREMELY helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and polite. Tow truck companies always get a bad name, but these guys were great! Can’t say enough good about them. They have nice, modern equipment with good operators. If you need pulled out, towed, or service, CALL BARTLEY. They will take care of you. Nothing is free, but to people who appreciate quality service ANYTIME you need it, these are your guys. I hope I don’t have to call them in the future, but if I do, I won’t call anyone

I had a unbelievably awful experience there! Most unprofessional and ridiculous customer service I have ever received from a business. The owner was rude and shouted profanities at me because I walked outside the building to find someone that worked there. After screaming at me, he told me he assumed I was there to steal my vehicle (that had been towed there after a wreck). I explained that I was there to give them permission to tow it to a body shop, and that I didn't appreciate being treated like that. He told me to "shut up" and "get the hell off his property."

Called this business to have my car towed after something with the battery was going haywire. I called the business and an older man just kept screaming "WHAT?" in my ear. It was frustrating! I also told him that I wanted it towed to a specific shop because I already have a relationship with them and they've worked on my older, finicky car (Neal Tire). He kept saying that he could do what needed to be done and that he could just tow it to his place. After getting frustrated that he was not only hard to communicate with, but didn't seem to care much about my opinion I thanked
