“Vehicle lost steering on a visit to Waukee, IA . Perry’s was recommended by a Ford dealer . Gave them a call, friendly service , reliable (arrived in just a few minutes) , and great price ! Highly recommended and trusted!”

“I've used Central iowa towing probably 30. Times in past 2 yrs undecking trailers for me. In Altoona and in Marshalltown.

Both locations great staff and quick service. Mostly in Marshalltown now. Chad the heavy wrecker driver is very professional and quick.

Highly recommend this company for treating customers..fair.”

“Whether you accidentally go off-roading in December, smoke a deer on bypass, or get hit by metal shelving on the interstate - Ted’s gets you taken care of! I’ve came back each time because they’ve always taken care of my trucks and gotten me back on the road quickly. Their communication is great and they work well with insurance companies! Would highly recommend!”

“I was very surprised to find everything you dream of but rarely get. I had been with another service for 15+ yrs. Recent events made me question their integrity so I got a coupon in the mail from Honest Wrenches and took my car for an oil change. The former place said I need new breaks, struts, and pads. During the oil change and wintering they inspected brakes and other things. Much to my surprise, I didn't need break work at all. In fact they also got details from Car Facts, that same previous business had done my brakes a few years ago. I'm a senior they were trying to take advantage of. Besides being honest, they were also very nice and very efficient. I won't take my car anywhere else from now on.”

“Hands down the most human, realistic and capable car repair shop in this part of the state. The only mechanic shop that won’t treat you like a walking wallet, but like a human being.”

“Our Dodge Durango's engine thermostat failed while we were on a summer road trip from Pennsylvania. It was already late afternoon and many mechanics were either closed for the day or had no available bays. Cotofo's was the one exception. They not only answered the phone, but told us we could stop in immediately. The shop was easy to find, just a few turns off the interstate. And there was no wait: They got our Durango in right away, diagnosed the problem, and fixed us up with a new thermostat and an oil change, then got us right back on the road. We didn't wait more than an hour. They also had free cold beverages available in the waiting area which was a plus on a hot summer day. The owner even followed up with us multiple times in the following weeks to make sure we were satisfied—which says a lot considering we're from Pennsylvania and not likely to be repeat customers. If you're in the Des Moines area, whether you live there or are just passing through like we were, don't hesitate to give Cotofo's a call. Thanks guys!”

“This was the first time I'd used a U-Haul in a long long time we got good customer service from Julian. He was really on top of his game the only thing that kind of puzzled me I guess was you have to pay so much for mileage but you still have to pay for gas too I guess that's a part of doing business and making money.”

“Amazingly quick response time! “Adventures in Parenting,” lead me here. Lou was very professional, kind, respectful and guided me through the whole process of getting our car out of the ditch and back on the road. I’m very grateful to have found this company. They will be our family’s go to for life. ?”

“This morning I blew a tire on my way to work. I tried going through my insurance that wanted to charge me $140 for a 2.5 mile drive. I waited for an hour and a half and my insurance STILL hadn't found someone to come pick up my vehicle. I'm not saying that someone wasn't on the way, they hadn't even found someone to take the tow. I kept calling them and they said they were working on it. Eventually I took it upon myself and started calling around. I called a few other places that didn't answer before I called Iowa First Call Towing. It was $91 AND they got there in less than 20 minutes. I was shocked how quick they were. Would recommend and I am now a loyal customer. I understand it won't always be that quick, but I appreciated their service greatly.”

“Capital City towing is the company my apartments use to have illegally parked cars towed. They are a godsend when my complex has them tow a car parked illegally in the handicap area.

Capital City Tow drivers have been courteous and quick at getting the cars towed when they have been contacted. They will only tow when it is a visible violation of the law or if the apartments have contacted them.

I have a legal handicap permit with a documented medical condition and a ADA accommodation with my apartment. I am often unable to park in the handicap spot nearest the easiest access to my apartment due to people parking in the marked off space between the handicap spots, moving trucks loading and unloading in that space or parking in the HC spot with out a visible HC placard or license plate. In addition to the fact that Door Dash or other similar delivery people pull into those spaces to make their deliveries.

I see many complaints of those whose car get towed by them for parking illegally in apartment parking lots and I know with those complaints, that the tow would never have happened had people had exercised due diligence in knowing they are parking illegally or not just assuming no one will notice or need said spot.

Often when I have spoken to people, usually delivery drivers when they pull into those spaces, the first thing they say is “It will only take a couple minutes.” It may seem like a couple minutes to them isn’t a big deal, but to someone who has a handicap and has very few spaces to park that accommodates them, it takes eons. Why? Because we have to drive around and wait for the spot, park elsewhere that makes it more difficult for us or cannot get into our cars or leave due to being blocked by said violators of the HC parking laws.

HC parking is a backed by law to protect the disabled yet we have no recourse when someone violates those laws and parks in a spot designated for us. In my case, I have to contact my apt complex, have them assess the situation, try to contact owner before calling for a tow. I have missed appointments and been late to places due to these HC parking violators. Often they are repeat offenders of illegally parking in handicap areas.

The violators make complaints re: the tows because they feel they were targeted by “predatory tow” rather than admitting they are “predatory parking violators.””

“Had an accident and these people towed my vehicle and treated me far and square when it comes to settling up the bill. If you need to have your vehicle towed for any reason these are the people. If there had been a 10 star category believe me they would have got my vote”

“My daughter was in an accident a few days ago, after I got off from work it was stated that the car was going to Crow Tow. I was nervous. I got there on Saturday, staff was pleasant, helpful, and didn't double charge due to car being in accident like another towing service did. If I'm ever in an accident again, I will be using Crow Tow.”
