I called at 6:45A they said they were 90 min max. I called them back at 7AM to send truck and ask what the charges were. They said $135 call out fee plus $95 an hour min of 2 hours. The search said they were in Des Plaines and turns out they were in Addison. I was told truck would be there in 90 min or less, but truck didn't show up til 9:30AM. Took a half hour to complete the job and they charged $628 ( its 6 in of radiator hose and 10 gallons of coolant) Don't mind paying for service but this was very exorbitant, even for Chicago. Best advice shop around.

This company is a fraud. They will steal your money. Stay away!! They are a true fly by night, they make up prices to the customer day by day to best fit the companies financial status. There have been bills that have went from $10k to $28k just because the owner felt like it. Must be nice.

Oh yeah, and dont accidently park your car somewhere with a Great Lakes II towing sign, if you dont come get your car in a week or 2, the will crush it and display no record of it.

The list goes on and on with this company, hmm wonder what happened to Great Lakes Service #1

Be warned. Had to call the police to get my truck back. They hold your property hostage until they feel like returning. The owner is very unprofessional and thief.

They charged me for 6 hours of service for a 30 minutes job. The rest of the time the truck was just sitting there while the mechanics worked on other trucks.

They cut up wires to my starter solenoid, and wanted to charge me $400 to replace it. The part is $14 from freightliner. And 5 minutes to bolt to firewall.

They went out of their way to take care of me when my truck broke down. Their tow truck arrived quickly in spite of the rush hour Chicago traffic. The tow driver was awesome! He did a great job making sure everything was safe and secure. He pulled my 80,000 pound truck and attached trailer with ease and safety. I actually am a Director of Safety in Transportation. This day however, I offered to quick run a load to a customer to help out. Then the unexpected. A break down with the truck. They towed it in, and called a nearby hotel for me to make sure they had a room available and to make sure I received the special discounted rate. Then we learned that the hotel shuttle was not available, so the tow driver who brought my truck in, offered to take me to the hotel in his own personal vehicle, on his own time. My truck was repaired the following day in a reasonable amount of time that it should have taken. I can't say enough about everyone there at Great Lakes. Great Job!!!

Very fair. I needed a load shift. I called another company and they quoted me $1200 but when he got out there he told me it would be $2500. I don't have $2500 I'm an owner operator. So I called Great Lakes. I had used them once before years ago. They came out right away and did the job quick for $800. The guys were friendly. I'll only call them from now on.

Call them! They go out of their way to help you! My truck broke down when I was coming through Chicago. I called Great Lakes found them online. The tow truck was there in under an hour. The owner had a guy stay late to finish my truck cuz he knew I had a load to deliver. Nice guys. Easy to deal with and the price was fair. Would definitely call them again.

The staff over at Great Lakes is great, very professional group of guys, they got me out of a real pinch and as an owner operator they helped me out on the price with towing and the service they did, everything was done in a timely manner and they had me back on the road in no time. Thank You GLS keep up the great work.

Whatever you do, never call this place we had our truck towed there and were told by service manage $2000.00 to repair then he said he pulled the transmission which was the way he liked to fix this problem but said the cost would still be around $2000.00 when they finished the bill was $4,498.83 which we had to pay to get the truck back, and the only warranty on it was on the few parts they put in. No warranty at all on the work. We would have been way cheaper to have it towed 280 miles and fixed here where people don't rip you a new one.

Friendly and thorough

I recently broke down and called AAA for assistance. I asked them if they knew a repair shop in the area. They suggested Great Lakes Service. When I called the next morning they already had my car looked at and explained the problem to me. I spoke with Tom he was very courteous and when I came to pick up my car he took the tie to walk out and show me the repairs and explain what they did. I am very pleased with my experience at Great Lakes Service.

Fast and Reasonable

My truck broke down on I-295 near Chicago. I had a full load that needed to be delivered that day. I called them and they arrived in less than an hour, towed the tractor back to the shop for sevice, delivered my load, and fixed my tractor all in the same day! And I wasn't overcharged. Thanks guys for saving my job!!!

Awesome service and fast turnaround

My truck stuck under a bridge in Chicago. I found these guys online, called and they arrived within 45 minutes! They were professional, affordable and quick. They will be the the first company I call when I'm in the area.
