Mighty's Towing & Recovery Inc.

My truck broke in Joliet, IL about 1.6 mile out of the towing company called Mightys. I called them and said that I need my tractor and trailer be towed to Elgin, IL to drop the trailer and then go to Schaumburg, IL to the repair shop. Nice speaking guy said: "Oh ye, partner, no problem, we can do it". On my question how long the waiting time is I was told 30 to 45 minutes. From here all the nice things will disappear. One more thing: unfortunately I couldn't make any research nor read comments before calling this towing service because police were pushing me to move my truck from a driving lane as soon as possible (since there was no shoulder lane I was blocking the road). So I just called Mightys and was told they will charge me $210 per hour. And that's it! Thinking it was a little more than I expected (I do have a 6 years truck driving experience and know more or less about the towing rates) i agreed since didn't have much choice for now because as I told police were pushing me. About 3 (Three!!! )hours later they finally showed up, Owner of the towing truck , Joe, and one more guy (later I realized they will say 30-40 minutes to everybody who calls them since I was in their tractor while towing my truck and could hear everything, and it was at least two hours more to drop my truck so whatever they tell you is a BS). Ok, not of my business. I've been towed and it is fine with me. When we came to a final destination the most interesting things started. They charged me $1295 for freakin' 75 miles!!! Joliet, IL to Elgin, IL to Schaumburg, IL. People, just run Google maps to check miles. It will show you 73 miles. Even if it is 90 miles - $1295!!! Ridiculous! And I was ready for $600-$700 bill. Nope, I was so wrong. They made me sign their paper (blank, yes, without anything written on it) and after all they wrote whatever they wanted on it! They put 4:30 hours of driving but it was a little more than 3 hours. And I have a proof. They put some advance charges, some driveshaft labor (that is always included to per hour service), they put 11 tolls 10 bucks each :))) and most of all they wanted me to pay their way to get home!!! I said I'm not going to pay for it because it is just CHEATING and it is not what we agreed and was ready to pay $600-700 which was fair for 3.5 hours of driving but owner said he will tow my truck to somewhere else than and basically keep it as hostage and this will cost me even more. Since I had no choice I paid by my credit card and payment will be stopped today for resolution/dispute. And even if I loose, these money will go to hell for these guys. One day this nasty business will be ruined because I have NEVER EVER seen such a cheaters in my life! AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! They will charge you twice, three or four times more then they say and than will keep your car or truck as a hostage until you pay! Dirty job, unprofessional people and business. STAY AWAY!
