Grand Valley Towing at a glance

Customers frequently praise the company for prompt arrival, friendly drivers, and clear communication regarding pickup and delivery times. Many reviewers highlight fair pricing and professional conduct during roadside emergencies, including assistance with flat tires and dead batteries. However, a pattern of criticism in low-star reviews cites misleading upfront charges, unexpected price increases upon drop-off, and instances of poor communication where drivers failed to explain service limitations or departed without speaking.

Andrew was AMAZING and our family is very thankful for him! My sister needed a tow last night due to hitting a deer on 131. Andrew was the only one to answer the call and he came out asap. He helped my sister get what she needed and was so kind to give her a ride to the nearest gas station to wait for me to get her. Today we had a miscommunication with coming out to gather the rest of her belongings out of her car and we were told we would have to wait until Monday. The dispatcher Trisha was maybe having a bad day but was rude to my sister and I, as well as the towing service we called. We were able to speak with Andrew again today and he was kind enough to go way out of his way (on his day off) to come out to the lot to open the gate for us to clean out her car and take the photos we needed. He also explained all the next steps to us. During a very stressful time Andrew was so wonderful to deal with, very kind, personable, and apologized for the miscommunication from dispatch. We can’t thank him enough, and the company is so lucky to have such a great employee. Andrew if you see this thank you again for everything, and for taking time away from your family to come help us out when you didn’t have to.

Ashlee, thank you for sharing your experience. We are incredibly grateful that Andrew could step in to assist your sister after such a difficult night. He is a valued member of our team, and we will certainly make sure he sees your kind words regarding his commitment to helping your family, even on his time off. Regarding the communication issue you encountered, we appreciate your patience and will address this internally to ensure our dispatch process better reflects the level of service Andrew provides. We wish your sister the best as she moves forward.
