Awesome driver he really helped me and was patient.
Merls/GR Towing is the best
After sitting in a Park And Fly parking lot for 12 days during a bitter cold winter storm (1-2026) my battery was dead when I returned. It was suggested I call Merl’s, as it was near the airport. The experience was excellent from the start. Mike answered the phone right away - no wait time. The driver was prompt and…
Sean and Noah were both awesome! In the span of four days, via AAA, West Michigan Towing helped me with two vehicles. One service call was for battery and the second was for car towing. Both Sean and Noah were professional, warm, and fun. Thank you!!!
They came within 20 minutes after I called for a battery charge early in the morning. That allowed me to get my car into the service shop early. Thank you for coming so quickly and the driver was very friendly!
Good service, friendly
You guys are amazing!! Great customer service, friendly and quick! So blessed you came to save the day!!
Mark was there far sooner than you predicted. He was efficient, put in a new battery and aired up a soft tire for me. What a gift to be on the road again! 😊👍👍
Friendly and helpful. Explained everything.
Driver was knowledgeable. Previous tech couldn’t get it started. He got it started showed me how to rekey my fob and I was off to buy a new battery. Excellent service.
Really nice man! Jumped our car…multiple times…and helped us figure out that we could drive it to the dealership. Thank you!
My guy from Merle’s was the best! Fast, courteous and on point! Saved me a tow!

Very professional, quick response time. Highly recommend
Very good communication from dispatch and driver. Service was performed quickly, driver was very friendly and patient with my questions. Especially when needing a tow/roadside service can already be a frustrating situation, I appreciated the kindness of both people I interacted with immensely. Thank you!
This was a wonderful experience. He was very good and got my car unlocked and running.
Must have left something on so came out of ice rink, no start. Called through AAA and service arrived, opened the hood and driver hooked up something, said all checked out and…car started. Great driver and service!
He was great! Very fast, efficient, and solved the problem.
Fast. Easy, painless. Literally all on the app start to finish Done with amazing customer service. 💯👌🏾

Driver was excellent. Thanks again.
Friendly driver, great to work with, made it very easy to deal with the situation.
The 2 men arrived within 30 minutes. Jumpstarted the battery in my van and told me where to go to get a new battery down the road. incredibly friendly and helpful.
I called AAA for road assistance and it was about a 3 hour wait but the driver was great!
The gentleman that came out when were broke down last night with my 3 week old granddaughter was so kind and generally concerned about how we were getting home. They got there very soon after the call.
Awesome driver, very helpful. Thanks
The gentleman was very professional and very helpful. I would definitely recommend Grand Rapids Towing. If ever need a tow again your my first and only call I'm making. Thank you so much
Serviceman excellent. Solved my problem. Too notch service each time I’ve used your company. Thank you. I’d recommend to anyone Merls and AAA.
Quick, friendly service!
Fast service and courteous!
I woke up this morning to a flat tire, called AAA and Grand Rapids Towing was at my house within 15 minutes. The driver was extremely nice (even when my dog jumped in his truck to go to work with him) and he had my tire aired up in no time. Thanks Grand Rapids Towing.
Adam was friendly and attempted diagnostic work prior to the tow which helped me understand options and discuss issues the vehicle was having with the mechanic shop from a more informed position.
He was very helpful & jumped the battery. He evaluated the problem & figured there was a cell issue. The battery was still under warranty. We returned to Auto Zone & we received a new battery free. We were very thankful for his wisdom.
It was quick, friendly, extremely good service I was given.... and I'm very thankful for the towe guy that came to help me. I wish I remember his name so I could mention him here by name, but he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I have never had a bad experience with this service team.They have always…
Was here earlier that said, jump start and back on the road. Great service 100% professional & cheerful and friendly as well.
Was able to jumpstart engine.
Very pleasant and quick.
Rick could not have been more helpful. He tried jumping the battery and found that it wasn't the problem. Then he went through quite an ordeal with the Honda roadside service on the phone (whom I couldn't understand) in order to be able to tow my car to fox Honda. He even went in with me to explain to the service…
Was prepared to drop a lot of money fixing my car and they ended up finding the problem and a solution for free, really fast. It was the best I could hope for, always a pleasure dealing with this guys, thank you again.
Quick service and the driver was awesome!
Didn't have to wait long! When he showed up he was quick and professional!
Jason was so nice! He showed me how to jump start the battery CORRECTLY and explained the electrical system of my car. He suggested that I get a new battery thru AAA and they would install it. He was a pleasure to talk with. Thank you so much!
