Customer Reviews
We were towed to MAD J.after a very scary accident on 35 with our small RV. We were so thankful for the kindness of your tow driver He showed great concern for our comfort and welfare. He allowed us to stay with our RV so we could take care of our dogs. We also needed to find medications etc in the interior jumble of our camper. Everyone at this business was very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend there services.
UPDATE 03/11/2025: After getting in touch with management at MAD J Repair & Towing, Inc. and upon reviewing the invoice, it was discovered that the invoice was erroneously prepared and tendered for payment. Management was super quick about revising the invoice, and sincerely apologetic over it being issued that way in the first place. The invoice was promptly corrected, and the refund issued. Mistakes can happen, and I certainly do not hold that against any company. Honesty and integrity is rare in the towing business, and their willingness to make it right earned them the extra 4 stars. They've gone from the DNU list to a preferred vendor. Thank you MAD J Repair & Towing, Inc. for the services provided. Would definitely use again. [ORIGINAL REVIEW 03/05/2025] I can't say they did not do
If you break down on I-80 between Altoona and Des Moines plan on spending $500. This is who Iowa State Patrol calls to tow you when your AAA is taking too long. They have $190 emergency response fee, $150 hookup fee, $19.99 credit card fee, and $3.47/mile starting when they leave their shop. Total rip off.
Mad j repair and towing was very efficient, quick, and super nice. John was very helpful and insightful. Best tow company ever!!
I am so happy I used Mad J; not only was their response time super quick, the truck driver Payton was super careful with my Tesla, he took great care to not further damage my car after the accident. He also was super patient when Willis Automotive refused to accept it and took me to Grahmn Collision (Apparently the only certified Tesla collision repair shop in town). For such a sad day for my Tesla, they were definitely the bright spot.
