- TJTim JohnsonOct 27, 20251.0I had a truck that broke down on the Evs bridge Illinois State tow truck the big green ones pushed it to route 3 exit on the corner then it ran out of air they called Platinum tow truck came out cost me $900 go less than a 3/4 of a mile told me because the police called them that there was an emergency fee just another way to charge you ridiculous prices to tow something Way to kick the small guy when they're already down I got two trucks not like I have a fleet.
- RMRobyn MAug 29, 20255.0After my roadside assistance tow truck never showed up (waited hours and no one answers the phone), we called Platinum Towing and they came quickly and he was so amazing, understanding, and compassionate. All on a busy street. I cannot be more pleased with Platinum Towing! I can't say thank you enough to them for the complete understanding and coming to my aid after I had already been stranded for hours.
- WFWebb FarrerAug 6, 20255.0We just moved $230 million dollars worth of cars in and out of the St. Louis art museum, and Platinum handled the movement from the semi‘s to the door of the building. They were absolutely first class, top shelf and as good as they get in the business. Ryan was a huge asset and honestly, we probably couldn’t have done it this seamless without him. Whether you’re moving a Ford bronco or a Ferrari this company is as good as it gets.
- AHAmber HarpAug 1, 20251.0I called the company to report a driver riding my tail end on hwy I-44 heading towards republic Missouri and the dispatcher I spoke to was very rude telling me I was making false claims because I was going 80 down the hwy and his driver was less than 2 car links away from me road raging honking his horn and flipping me off while we were passing traffic in the fast lane I turned off on the exit because I didn’t feel safe and when I called to let someone know what was going on all he could reassure me is that I was a lier because their trucks top out at 80 mph I hope one day it’s not your family’s life that’s in danger by a big rig road rager hauling another large vehicle
- PBPatrick BrunoJul 16, 20255.0Great family owned business growing rapidly. Not how I wanted to use them but we all went to a truck show & we blew a engine on the way & Tyler as a good friend of mine came to the rescue & gave me a chance for him to prove to us what they stand for. Professionalism, Excellence, Safety, & most of all treating our vehicle as if it was their own. Will definitely use them again anytime we have a similar issue which I hope we never. Platinum is one of the Top 3 Best in the STL Region for towing HANDS DOWN.
