- TATim AlfordNov 28, 20255.0My Pete broke down on me 11/27/25 at night, Ray and Wallys is the only one that answered my call, he recommended a shop in Joliet and towed me there for $275 per hour charge which i feel was fair for being in Chicago area. Leo was my tow truck driver and did a excellent job and was very experienced and professional. Thanks Ray and Wallys towing keep up the great work!! Sincerely Tim Alford
- TPTroy PetersonNov 19, 20251.0Was trying to setup service for a tow & was told that it was $300/hr & it would be 3 hours one way to get to an address in Chicago that was 32 miles from them. What?!!!! Then he said that’s what I’m trying to tell you, we’re not near the address I gave him.. 30 miles is far?! Mind you there’s no traffic & it’s after 1am there..
