Your driver, Sam, stopped to help my husband and I when our car would not start. He did that out of kindness not because he was working. He was so helpful and kind! If we ever need help we will definitely call Affordable and ask for Sam!

5 Very thankful for Affordable Towing. My wife had a flat tire 1 1/2 hours from home in single digit temps at 6:30 pm on a Friday. While our spare was frozen under the truck bed and they couldn t change the tire, they made sure that she was able to get a ride and checked in on our situation after the weekend. If we need help again in the area, Affordable Towing will be our first call.

Had a break down on a company truck, nobody wanted to help due to weather so I went down the list and found affordable towable. Sam was here within an hour . Removed the tire took it for repair and replaced it. Very professional and polite company.

We traveled nearly 4 hours into Illinois and on our return home, the alternator went out. Affordable towing quickly agreed to let us bring our car in last minute and fix us up. We were back on the road in an hour and made it home 3 hours away safely thanks to their quick but professional work.Thanks, guys! You helped turn a stressful situation around! Wish you were local to us so we could visit you for all our mechanic needs.

HOLY COWS!!! I was passing thru on I-57, my radiator decided to crack. I called and within minutes they were on scene to help me out. We towed it to their shop. They got me a radiator and antifreeze. From breakdown time to back on the road was maybe two and a half hours. The guys at Affordable Towing know their stuff. Friendly fellas too. If I m ever in need of help again they are gonna be my ONLY call.

Our motorhome broke down as we pulled into our campground site in Casey, Il. After calling two other closer "road service" companies with no call back, I called Affordable Towing a day later. They said "we will call back in an hour to confirm", which they did. They arrived an hour later, diagnosed the problem (bad compressor clutch), and left with the part.It took a day or get a new compressor from the Ford dealer, which they then installed (on a Saturday).The thing that impressed me the most was that they treated us like we were broke down out on the road, not like we were living in an RV park with all the amenities, meaning they could have easily lowered us on the priority list, and didn't.I was expecting at one point to have to have our motorhome towed, find a hotel for us and our two dogs, and wait.... we didn't have to.Thanks Affordable Towing, for great service, and with a great attitude to boot !

After a trip to St. Louis and back, these guys were able to fix my service engine light, supply a proper spare tire, replaced a Caliper, and offered an update to my vehicles maintenance all within a 30 min notice, and they got the job done not only quick but also very well. No complaint, and all recommend. Thanks you.

We were on our way to my brother-in-law's funeral in Illinois and had a flat tire while stopped for dinner at the original "Burger King". Called for assistance in airing up our spare tire and waited only about ten minutes for someone to show up. He was so kind and got us aired up and on the road in no time. If you are ever in this area and need help, this is who I would call!Thanks so much for your great service!

These guys bailed me out in a tight jam. Brian is a straight-up guy. Very flexible and did his utmost to get me back on the road as soon as possible. Didn't try to sell me on anything that didn't need fixing. Very specific and transparent about what went wrong and what needed to get fixed. if I didn't live the 200 miles away this would be my go-to place.

We had car trouble while traveling and called them after business hours. They came and determined the problem, ordered the part, drove us to a hotel and fixed it at a bargain price the next day. I can't say enough good things about them. Honest, hardworking guys!

We were traveling when my alternator quit working and caused the whole car to go into chaos. It was a Sunday which meant no one else was open and they came to the rescue! They got a new alternator, repaired it quickly and found us a hotel to stay at while we waited. Very friendly, helpful, and professional!

They were able to diagnose what caused my tensioner pulley to fail, get the parts to fix my car and get her running in 2 days with no notice!! All while not breaking the bank. Honest, and dependable!!

My parents were stranded in Matton Illinois. They needed assistance and Affordable Towing was totally wonderful! They gave them a ride to a near by hotel while the repairs were being done. This happened last month and my mother insisted that I do a review after all this time. Thank you Affordable Towing!...from the Alexander's

I hit something on the interstate and blew out a tire. I called Affordable towing and Chad was there within 10 minutes. Being from out of state and not knowing where I was, he found me a tire store that had my tire and took me to the tire store in a jiff . I would HIGHLY recommend calling Affordable towing anytime. Thank you again, Chad for being so quick and helpful.

We were stranded on the highway for hours. It was Mother's day and we called so many companies but only 1 towing company came through.Zach was our tow truck driver and he was so kind and compassionate. Funny, too. I loved that. It was raining and cold and he worked like a surgeon on a sunny day. He allowed all of us the opportunity to ride in his cab, two adults, a 6'4" 13 year and a toddler. It was tight but it worked. Other companies said they could only allow for 2 passengers.We were towed to the local Wal Mart to get our tire repaired.We all were so appreciative of Zach's service. It's his job to tow but all the rest he threw in free of charge and that made a bad situation seem alot less painful and stressed.Thanks, Zach keep up the amazing job. So happy to have learned there are good people like you on the road.The Jackson Family

Great friendly and fast service. They arrived to tow my vehicle after only about 15 minutes, after I had been waiting over an hour for another tow company to arrive. They also worked on my vehicle and fixed it up very fast.

A++++++ service! Father and son business and they went above and beyond to help me! The son got me a motel room for a reduced rate at a local hotel that was very nice. They took me to the hotel, picked me up and finished my car as promised. I would highly recommend this business for your towing and mechanic needs.

They are very friendly and caring here. I was moving to Oklahoma and my truck broke down and Brian the mechanic was quick and very professional with the job. I recomend this place to everyone who is around or out of town. Very affordable.
