Towing in Newton, IA

“Barney's was a lifesaver. My Ford e350 cutaway van (aka shuttle bus) lost acceleration right at the I-80 exit in Newton, IA (was heading to Iowa City, IA from Jackson Hole, WY). I called the Newton police to help get me to safety after I had reversed on the on-ramp and was tucked on the right turn onto the on-ramp (a hazard for semi-trailers). The police called Barney's - I believe it was Barney himself who showed up with the tow. He hopped in and got it to the other side of the on-ramp safely. His shop was right up the street, so he instructed me to go up the road and followed me just in case I lost acceleration again. It was a Saturday afternoon and then the following week was holiday. Given these factors, I knew it probably be a good week before diagnosis and fix. Barney's had it ready to go in a week's time (in business days). Turns out it was the fuel filter as Barney had suspected. I called twice for updates and everyone was really friendly - I believe I spoke to Mark on the specifics. I also wasn't charged for tow or the service call on a Saturday, which I really appreciated. My father is a diesel mechanic and so I'm very familiar with shops and the business of it all - I can tell you wholeheartedly that these people are the real deal, honest, and fair.”
