We had a camper tire blow out on the interstate. Midwest Towing helped us out, got to us quicker than they said they would and got the tire changed quickly. We aren't from around here so we had no idea who to call and they were so helpful. Would highly recommend! Service: Tire change

Great people! We were stranded with a blown tire on our travel trailer. AAA was going to take three hours to get to us but Midwest Towing came in 15 minutes and took care of it quickly.

These people are rude and have no clue what they are doing. They left us stranded on the side of highway 6 first saying the insurance company never confirmed then they didn't answer the phone, come to find out they couldn't tow a truck with a 5th wheel. Would never recommend this small no clue business to anyone. Service: Special vehicle towing

We were traveling between Red Oak and Walnut Iowa, when our Durango broke down. We called the sheriff's office and they recommended Midwest Repair in Walnut. We called explained what happened and. Tow truck was on the way. The owners son came out and looked at the wheel. He was really good at what he does. Once back at the shop they put the Durango up on the rack looked at what they needed and ordered the parts. The owners wife was very helpful in helping us find a hotel that took our dogs. She was also kind enough to take us to Avoca to the hotel and pick up my husband the next day once the Durango was fixed. These are people who bended over backwards for their customers, and will never be forgotten by us. Thank you so much for your kindness. Service: Car towing

When we blew a tire on our fifth wheel, we spent over an hour on the phone with our insurance roadside assistance and got nowhere. Called Midwest Towing and they showed up in 15 min and had us back on the road in under 10 minutes. No joke. They were amazing!

I give this company 5 STAR due to i have beed dealing with them fort many years and there very good at what they do. Hope LeNay Haley I was sitting there when the owner call you for a fax number to fax you the paper work you asked for. You was very rude to the owner, When you told her that you did not have a fax number she told you that she would need an address and she waited for you to give her an address and you said the address where she or I did not get it she asked you 1 more time and you went off on her so she just hung up the phone and you keep calling her back and keep saying rude words . Son for you giving the a 1 STAR rating is a bunch of bull. Services: Tire change, Car lockouts, Battery, Battery service, Local hauling, Long distance hauling

I cannot say enough about the customer service, quality, and kindness of Midwest Towing. I blew my front tire while driving across the country and I was lucky enough to find Midwest Towing. Sam and he wife, Brenda, came out to put my spare tire on my car. Brenda could tell I was a bit shaken up and was so kind and comforting while Sam took care of my car. Sam then called his contact at Walmart and even convinced them to stay after hours and replace my tires. They even came with me to the Walmart to make sure I made it there and stayed with me while they replaced my tires. Five stars isn't enough...they deserve so much more. I would highly recommend!

My truck began vibrating right at the Walnut exit and I thought I had a flat. Looked at my tires, lug nuts, under carriage, and couldn't figure out the issue. Sam at Midwest Towing was with in eyesight and I'm very thankful. Sam got right to it, diagnosed the issue CORRECTLY, and did some major maintenance very quickly. Sam's wife gave us a ride into town, so we could shop while we waited. Sam and his family were friendly, honest, and wonderful people. My U joint replacement was extremely reasonable, well done, and he worked past his normal business hours to get me and my Mother back on the road. A VERY trustworthy and knowledgeable business.

Rescue I-80! Awesome service and fantastic work ethics. This is a great family run business and one I highly recommend, especially if you have a blown tire on the interstate (which is not a safe place to be for long)! On our road trip across the country our travel trailer tire blew to pieces on the I-80 in Walnut, IA. It was scary, windy and dangerous. Thankfully, an awesome officer of the law pulled over to check on our situation. He informed us that it was very unwise to use roadside assistance in this area as it could take hours for them to get there and we were not safe. (Most will understand this issue if you have ever had to wait for roadside assistance). Officer Awesome suggested Midwest Towing. Sam Shirley from Midwest Towing was there within 15 minutes. He was able to get the tire functional and get us off the highway to safely repair the damage. Sam even followed us to a safe location to make sure we made it (our spare tire only held on with 4 out of 5 bolts). It was late in the afternoon and Sam told us it might take some time to get the part we needed as our tire issue was a rare problem to have. Sam spent the next morning searching for the rare part we needed and was fortunate enough to find it. Midwest Towing went above and beyond the call of duty! Sam also educated us with some important knowledge regarding travel trailers and helped us get proper tires for the weight we were caring. Common sense should tell you that needing help on the busy highway in the middle of America's fruited plains is going to come with some setbacks and I feel fortunate to have met these awesome people in our time of need. Side note: The negative review is BS. If you can drive to Walmart, you don't need help. Prices were very fair and to be honest I thought it would be more than it was.
