Johnnys towing and recovery They advertise on line towing services starting at 65 dollars. Also they would be there in15 minutes. After an hour they hooked me up and towed me 2 blocks. They dropped the car and told me 225.00 dollars! I called the next day and they said the65 dollars was just for advertising and didn't include actual towing, just roadside assistance. It's150 dollars just too hook up the car and5 dollars a mile after that. Oswego Illinois
I called to have my car towed to a tire shop that was2blocks away after a blow out. I would have drove out but didn't want to ruin the rim. I was told the driver would be there in15 minutes but it was a hour before he got there. He hooked it up and towed it 2 blocks to the tire shop. Dropped the car and said it was225 dollars. I called the next day to complain and he said my insurance would reimburse me. I said that's not the point. 225 dollars for two blocks is unheard of! To which he replied is standard towing services charges.

File a complaint with the Illinois Commerce Commission. The tow company is required to give you an estimate in writing before performing a tow.
