They were fast, communication was great and the techs were friendly and knowledgeable
Great driver! Very polite and quick service!
Butch is terrific
They are best at towing. I would recommend them.
Those 2 guys were awesome
Excellent service from beginning to end.
Awesome driver. There so quick.
The driver arrived 30 minutes before estimated time of arrival. He was friendly and very helpful. I cannot comment on the towing cost because it was included in my roadside assistance package, and I did not have to pay for it.
Driver was prompt and friendly. Explained each portion of the recovery.
Kept me.informed of the schedule and showed up on time.
The driver was very nice and professional. He worked quickly to get my vehicle rolling. Also, I called their dispatch number and the person was friendly and told me they were on their way.
Arrived earlier than quoted, fast and efficient tow of an International Blue Bird bus, polite and friendly. Unfortunate to need a tow but excellent experience getting it done!
Great service
Super friendly and easy to work with
helped me get out of a muddy situation with my tractor trailer
Had an Isuzu box truck towed due to a broken tie rod. They were very helpful as it was located in a difficult area. The driver was extremely helpful and took care to get everything right to protect the truck. Highly recommend!!
Arrived when promised. Ready to tow my truck and trailer.
Pick up service was set up by Anderson Equipment in Bridgeville, PA to take our Komatsu wheel loader from Bridgeville to Neville Island. Driver arrived on time, machine was located and loaded for transport. Process was very smooth. Best ever. Thanks!
Excellent service and experts at the wheel. Towed a whole school bus out to the sticks from Pittsburgh, and parked where I needed it, even in a difficult spot. They weren't my closest option, but gave me the best price and the best customer service.
Super prompt. Friendly staff. Got the job done with skill and efficiency - turned a miserable situation into a manageable experience! Thank you!!!!
Helped me in a very unique situation where some other tow companies could not. Butch kept me informed every step of the way and provided spectacular service.
Quick, professional and under the time eta given can’t ask for much more!
Got met Rig out of a snow ditch at 1am DURING AN ACTIVE SNOW STORM , can’t thank them enough. Very reliable and professional
After waiting about 2 hours for a different tow company that never came I called McGann & Chester, to get my vehicle unstuck. 20 minutes later Dave showed up and had me free, driving again, in 10 minutes The driver was super professional and I couldn’t be happier with the service.
Exceptional and professional would definitely recommend.
Prompt and great customer service!!
Never good when a tow truck needs towed but glad to have the folks at Mcgann do it.

I drive a Cassens car hauler that got bottomed out on uneven terrain. The driver showed up in good time and it didn't take long to get mybtruck freed up. Great job.
Great service
Driver was quick, knowledgeable, and friendly. Also was able to have a decent conversation on the ride to the shop.
There is no choice for just a regular tow but they were there in 15 minutes. They were just great. I would most certainly use them again.
Very experienced
The operator of the tow truck was awesome. He was excellent at his job. Will definitely be my first choice if I needed towed again.

Having used the other towing companies that spontaneously appear in Pittsburgh following an accident, I really appreciate the courtesy and professionalism of McGann and Chester's drivers.
