I have been trying to get this review on here since 4th of July weekend. My family and I were passing through and our truck got HIT by LIGHTNING ... And we were in the truck heading north on I-15 going about 75mph! We made it safely to the shoulder and called the nearest towing service (Bar M Towing). Thank God no one was hurt!!! But Austin was a life saver for us! He has that traditional business mind of going The EXTRA Mile! I would recommend him to everybody in the area!! Great friendly service, fast ,reasonable, reliable , and Honest . He is there to provide Good service, Not just make money, or bandage the problem. You will only get the best service from his shop. Yes there is still some small businesses left like that! Austin is one of them!! One Hell of a business owner:)Posted on jai jawan jai kisanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All my belongings were left in the truck, even my watch, my clothes, my coat with the hood on it, my coat was in the truck. They didn't give me my coat. I was very upset in the cold. They didn't even give me my food. All my belongings were in the truck. I am only a driver and they say your company is not paying me, but I am a driver. What is your hatred towards me? They even killed me in the cold. They didn't give me even my clothes, my food. They haven't given me even today. They say, "Talk to me, my belongings are still in the truck."my medical my all drivers paper in the truck but he did not give mePosted on Hannah WestTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Semi truck computer was not communicating w the def system, I was reading her all the codes over the phone, she said just come here and we will read it. I said you can do Volvo def? Oh ya she said. 38 min later and a $400 bill they said needs to go to dealership and needs a tow. The truck said it would dereg in 180 minutes. I drove to Volvo. My boss told me the bill. Unbelievable. God sees you people God sees youPosted on SageRaccoon 9226Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So the over all tow was like others I have had for semi-truck break downs. You call, they show up after a few hours, hook you up and off you go. Unlike other tow companies though I was told I could not ride in the tow truck with the driver and that since "covid" they never let people ride in the tow trucks. I did not want to be stranded hours from home with no way back so I had to ride in my truck, while it was towed in 32° weather with no heater. I had already spent hours in the cold and have to say it was unprofessional and miserable. If you can't or won't take the driver in your truck with you please just decline the tow and let other companies do it that will let the driver ride in the tow truck. I have been towed 8 times in the last 3 years all be different companies and this is the first one to have this policy. I do not know if the driver was just having a bad day and made it up or if it really is company policy but the driver was not friendly and did not care about my situation. He just dismissed my concerns and gave an air of not caring about me as a customer. Honestly I felt like I was an inconvenience and just more cargo in the trailer he had to tow. Wish I had gotten his name but honestly I did not want to talk with him anymore than necessary and he never offered it.Posted on kevin cookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super friendly and helpful. Also very professionalPosted on VITALI G.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good guys! He came, evacuated, and repaired it that day. Polite and pleasant employees. BUT there was one downside... The mechanic didn't secure all the hoses... and antifreeze leaked along the way... It took several hours to think about it and find the problem. And a few more hours to find the antifreeze. Service: Replacement of the cooling radiator.Posted on Christopher ReedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came out to do a forced regen on my truck. After I asked if that is something they do for my year and model. The tech came out and spent maybe 10 min and told me there was nothing he could do and started to leave. I asked about a partial refund and was told I needed to speak with billing. I left several messages with billing and no call back. Tried to speak with the owner and was told Austin was busy and left a message with him. $1092.77 is what was charged for some bullshit. I waited until Monday when the dealer was opened and Kenworth did 2 forced regens at no charge. I filed a complaint with the highway patrol since they are on their rotation. This place sucks. Should have listened to Kevin at Big K. That's an honest guy there as well as the people at Kenwoth.Posted on Jonathan BedoeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a 5th wheel suspension hanger snap. Was on with CoachNet trying to get service tech out or a tow for 3 hours with no movement. I went online and found Bar M and gave a call. They had a mobile mechanic headed out to me within a few hours. Austin showed up and was nice and professional. The new part could not be sourced so Austin fabricated a solution to get me to my destination. I know it was a temp fix and it worked as best as I could have hoped and got me home.
