First, to the inevitable response from the company, no, I will not take my negative review down. I understand you are a small, family owned company. That doesn't make the service I was provided any better. Now to the actual review. Giving 2 stars on the very unlikely chance that the initial information provided was inaccurate. So, Ford County Towing was contracted with my insurance company's roadside service, and I requested a tow through the automated system from my insurance at 8:30a.m. The system sent me an ETA around 8:45 of 90-120 minutes. I didn't think that was terrible since the tow yard is shown as an hour from the location of my car. Well, at the 2 hour mark, the insurance automated system sent me a follow-up text asking if my vehicle had been towed. It had not, so someone apparently called the company who provided an updated ETA of 45 minutes. 1 hour after this ETA (3 hours total) another auto text resulted in another ETA update, this time to 15 minutes. At 12:38, I received a call from the insurance company advising the driver was 10 minutes out. At 12:57 the driver then called me, verifying the city of my tow. At that time he stated he was just getting on the interstate at Champaign, which in mid-day traffic is 40 minutes. This, obviously, is a bit different than the 10 minute ETA they provided my insurance company. I told the driver that since I'd been sitting for 4 1/2 hours I was going to run up to Arby's and grab a sandwich. At this point the driver advised that he was told this was an "unattended tow" and they had taken care of all of the "attended tows" first. About 20 minutes later, I received another phone call from the insurance company who said that I told the driver I was eating lunch and wouldn't be with the car. That is not what was said. Ultimately, the driver arrived around 2:45, 6 hours after the initial ETA was provided. When he did finally arrive, he was courteous and professional. However, as I mentioned at the outset, that still does not make up for the multiple incorrect ETAs that were provided some of which bordered on outright lies.

Our car had run out of gas on the interstate, and this business was very responsive in sending someone over to assist us with some gas to get us to the nearest station.The driver was very kind and helpful, even going as far as to help jump the car when the battery had died. Overall, a great service!Service: Fuel delivery

After accidentally letting the car run out of gas, FCT was the only service willing to come bring us gas. Not only was the towman friendly but also went above and beyond to find us in the pitch black on the interstate and to get our car running after the battery ran out.

They went beyond my expectation. I was stranded miles/hrs away from home or help with my 3yr old grandson. This company had gotten out to me within maybe 30mins. To my surprise the dispatcher had heard my grandson in the background and sent a bag of treats, a coloring book w/ crayons with the tow truck driver for my grandson. Like WOW....!! So Thoughtful at such a stressful and restless time. Thank you again for turning my situation around!!Service: Car towing

My car was stuck during a snow storm, they helped winch my car out quickly and was very helpful and courteous in the process. I would definitely use them again if I need them.
