This review has been a long time coming, but I just have to post my experience with Virgil’s towing company. My family and I were passing through Austin on the freeway not too long after midnight on the day of Thanksgiving 2020 when a doe stopped in front of our car resulting in the whole front end of my Honda Pilot being smashed in. I had my 5 and 3 year old in the car with me and I was worried about being stranded with little ones but Ross came very promptly I mean within minutes and coordinated with AAA to take care of our car. Ross helped us with our baggage, took us to a nearby hotel, and even waited with us when there was no one at the front desk. This man went above and beyond my expectations and honestly he helped turn this very stressful situation into a much more manageable one. I would recommend Virgil’s Midtown Towing to ANYONE especially considering their choice of exceptional and professional employees. THANK YOU ROSS. And God bless you. :)
The driver did an excellent job of explaining what he was doing, and wasn’t annoyed that I wanted to watch it happen. :) He was very courteous and professional. Thank you.
Tow truck showed up quickly and got my truck out of the ditch in NO time. Guy knew exactly what he was doing. Friendly, fast and a pro. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in Mower County. Thanks guys!!
I called Virgils for a flat tire change. I was afraid I would have to wait hours. They told me 1/2 hour, but was only about 15 minutes. Ross called me when he got to my car. He first tried pumping up the tire, but wouldnt hold air. Then he found a sharp piece of metal in the tire. He said if I wanted, he could plug the hole and inflate the tire, which sounded great. He put a plug in and pumped up the tire in just minutes. Super friendly and nice guy! He asked if I needed anything else done, which I didnt. Ross could not have been more helpful! Great guy, was a pleasure to meet him. Thanks a bunch to Ross and Virgils! Will definitely will be calling them again.
Ross was so prompt he beat me to where my car was! He was polite and answered all my questions about the battery that I had asked. The car does need a new battery and he made sure to ask if it could be delivered and installed in the morning as he didn’t have the battery I needed. That was no problem so all is good. He jump started the car but when he shut it off, it needed another jump. He checked battery and it was not good. Very satisfied with Ross today!
Another great experience using Virgils Auto clinic. Unbelievable service from the initial call all the way to have vehicles towed away! Recieved exceptionally awesome service from Joel, Megan, and the driver Brian. Brians customer service was excellent and was very friendly and professional! Great job all of you! Keep up the great work!
I needed my new-to-mevehicle towed about an hour away and they were able to deliver it and help push it in place. Great service. Highly recommend.
Excellent service. Called to get battery jumped and they were at my car in less than 10 minutes. I also had them replace the battery at their place of business and again the service was exceptional. Thank you Joel and Brian. You saved the day.
Ross was quick, knowledgeable and made me feel more comfortable in a not ideal situation. He took care of my vehicle on the side of the interstate and then followed me back to town to make sure I made it alright. Great service and would absolutely recommend!
Ross arrived well ahead of the time AAA said. I appreciated the call and texts that said he was on the way. He was quick, efficient, and very pleasant to work with. The problem was solved in no time, we were ready to roll, and we left with smiles on our faces. Can’t get better than that! Thanks, Ross! 5 stars without a doubt.
On 9/22/20 at 5:15 pm Brian of Virgils Midtown was called to aid me with a blown tire. I was on the side of the interstate during the evening rush to get home. He arrived super fast. Was very quick and super professional -- helped me get the vehicle on the road and back home safely. Great work and Great service - Please give Brian a raise :) - Thank You!
Ross and his team had the fastest turnaround time Ive had for a AAA issue. My battery was warrantied because it started failing after 10 months. They replaced it while I was at work and had excellent customer service
Company closed its Austin location. They wont tell you that if you call and ask for service.
I was at the austin location this morning just for an oil change and I cant find enough great things to say about this place! So clean and professional that I have decided that Joel will get my business from now On! I recommend these guys for everything! Thank you virgils for a great job!!!!
Brian answered our call quickly. He tested the battery and easily determined we needed a new one. We appreciated his prompt service and professional demeanor.
I was told the expected time would be 30 minutes, and they showed up just slightly before that. So I was very happy that they are a company of their word! I recommend them anybody in the south eastern area of Austi I was told the expected time would be 30 minutes, and they showed up just slightly before that. So I was very happy that they are a company of their word! I will be recommending them as, not only a towing, roadside assistance business, but also a repair service as well. Thank you very much Virgil’s Towing.
Had an excellent experience with this company. Garret Johnson picked me up right away and was fast, friendly and made the experience super smooth and easy. 5 stars
Caleb was thoughtful and took time to answer my questions. He explained what was happening and showed me the diagnostic results resulting in a battery purchase. Great!
I called AAA and they set me up with this service even though I had to get a winch extraction TWICE at once to get out of my own driveway all the way in Owatonna. My driver Ross gave us amazing and professional service and I highly recommend using Virgils for all your towing needs! This really turned my whole week around, Thank you Ross for helping me out!
Joel our tow truck driver was amazing! Very nice and courteous! I would recommend there service to anyone! Kudos to you Joel and your team! The lady that called to let me know you were on way was also very friendly. Made my not great experience of being stuck much nicer!
Caleb and Ryan were both very helpful and provided excellent service. My car wasn’t starting and I thought it was a battery issue and turned out to be a starter issue. Both Caleb and Ryan were a huge help in getting my car to the nearest shop and I will definitely be calling them the next time I am in trouble!
Brian was excellent! I highly recommend Brian, and Virgils. They were quick and very professional.
Needless to say I wasnt expecting my car to die on the side of the road. After calling Ross came to my rescue to tow my car. However there was miscommunication on my insurance end and they put the order in for a jump and not a tow. Per protocol Ross was not able to tow and I was going to need to call in and wait for someone else to come and tow my car. As a young female it wasnt the most comfortable thing to wait on the side of the road alone. Ross (being the gentleman he is) allowed me to stay in his truck as I called into have my insurance change the order. Long story short Ross was an answer to my prayer. Thank you for being so professional and caring all together!
Brian arrived promptly and was very helpful. A professional, painless, excellent AAA experience. Thank you!
Had an issue with replacing a tire on the highway. Ross was super helpful and friendly getting it replaced. In short time, I was back on the road.
Ross called me shortly before arrival since I was not at my vehicle. My car was in a Dairy Queen lot that was very busy on a 90 degree + day. The lot is small and spaces go in different directions, so it is easy to imagine how difficult it would be to get a tow truck in. Ross pulled in and let the person he had blocked know that it was temporary. He had to direct traffic for a few minutes before he could even get my car moved to hook up with the truck. Ross was friendly to all, even at the end of a long, hot day! It made a difficult day a little easier. Thanks to Ross!
They have been the company my AAA sends the last few times Ive used AAA. They are always quick, courteous, and good customer service. I would recommend Virgils.
Brian was great. I really appreciate him taking extra steps to resolve the issue I was having with my car.
Used Virgils for AAA towing. Very happy with the service. Driver was friendly, and easy to talk to.
LOCKED MY KEYS IN TRUNK ...I am impressed with this service and highly recommend asking for a service man named Ross he knows what he is doing for sure .. 20 min from the time I called my insurance road side assistant Virgils Auto Clinic shows up. A service man named Ross took less then 5 min to assess the situation Then he opens my drivers side door and worked on the extra key lock area that is for my trunk and with in 3 min or less my trunk popped open And I Got My Keys 😀 Thank U Ross you made my day ... ( Shain)
Excellent service! Fast and efficient and polite. Couldn’t ask for anything more!
Caleb arrived much earlier than anticipated which was fantastic. He was a big help with trying to get my truck started. Unfortunately It was a more technical problem so the truck needed to be towed. Caleb towed the truck from Claremont to Woodbury safely and in a timely manner. Very personable and professional, also great equipment. Thanks a lot!
Ross very friendly liked him a lot tried everything he could to get my car started, a lot better then the guy i had the day before that person i would give one star. Also very quick service arrived ahead of time scheduled which is always nice. would recommend this service and Ross to everyone.
Brian was very professional, friendly, and helpful in towing both my car and my son’s car about 80 miles to our mechanic. We used our AAA Plus membership which will Tow up to 100 miles, glad for Virgils AAA Service. Thanks Brian!
Ross was amazing, he had a smile that made me feel my car was in the right hands.myy morning wasnt so good but seeing the service I recieved, lets me know I picked the right company to be with. Thanks AAA
We had a great experience with Virgils! The person answering the phone was very nice and helpful. The person who went on the service call was nice and very fast. We highly recommend them!
Caleb was very fast, competent and gave me good advice after he left.I was very pleased.
They came quick and fixed my tire and made sure I got to the repair shop I needed to by following me there.
Joel was quick and efficient with his time and took care of things seamlessly.
Brian saved the day with a jump start and a battery check. He explained everything was thorough and efficient.
I was stranded in Austin, Minnesota while traveling across country alone. It was Sat. afternoon. Not too much open. Called Virgils. Not only were they helpful,but they cheered me up and we made a plan, or I should say, they made a plan to help me. We will pick you up and drive you 40 miles to the airport to rent a car Then the drivers helped me pack my dog and all my stuff into the tow truck and cheerf
Ross was prompt, courteous and efficient. I will hope I dont need a Tow but if I do, Virgils gets the call !! Thanks for Great Job
Brian provided excellenttowing and professionalism!J.Wittkopp
Brian arrived promptly. He was friendly and informative.
Very friendly, helpful service. Great experience.
The driver was very helpful! They have great service and respond very quickly! Had an awesome experience and I highly recommend Virgils!
CALEB did a wonderful job helping me out! Thank you Caleb!
Fast response but kind of pricey for a 5 block tow
The driver (Brian) was on time and professional Would definitely use them again.
Prompt service. Phone call to confirm and update of time of arrival. Ross was friendly and professional.
Roger was a complete life-saver!! We broke down while on our way cross-country and he helped us with our car, our things, and made sure we were safe and taken care of. Could not ask for better service, so grateful!
Brayden showed up to help me with my roadside assistance. Polite, professional, and got there quickly. I would highly recommend.
I was involved in a semi truck accident just south of Austin MN, Midtown Towing was called and were on the scene in a matter of minutes. They later checked on me while I was at the hospital for mandatory DOT tests and offered me a ride to one of the local hotels, this was a welcome surprise. The tractor and trailer were on their side in a deep drainage ditch and they did a great job getting it upright and back on the road. Thanks for everything Midtown !!!
Great service and very friendly!! I would recommend Virgils Auto car clinic.
Ross got to us super quick and only took him a minute to get the vehicle unlocked. Friendly service!
Ross was very professional after my car accident he told me where to go and what I could do to get my belongings out of my car. I would definitely recommend doing business here again.
Ross was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and efficient. He even helped me out of a snow bank I fell into after he pulled my car out of it. Thank you Ross and Virgil!
My van broke down in Blooming Prairie and AAA contacted two other tow companies first. Both companies gave lame excuses as to why they would take 2+ hours. I told the AAA person to contact Virgils. Ive used Virgils before and they have always been prompt and courteous. This time was no exception. Great job by my driver, Braeden F. Virgils will always be my first choice in the future.
Braeden was awesome. Got there super quick which was appreciated since it was dark and Cold. Thanks so much
Joel was great! Quick service and very friendly.
We were on our way with our camper for our first vacation of the season. We decided to make a stop at the SPAM museum in Austin,MN. We pulled into the parking lot and noticed some kind of fluid pouring out from under the pickup. Hoping it was water from the air conditioner because it was really hot out there. It wasn’t. The fluid was red, transmission fluid.We had a dead pickup and a trailer ninety miles from home. Called our Insurance Company, first time use of our emergency roadside service, and they sent Midtown Towing in Austin,MN. He hooked up the pickup and the camper and away we went. Home!So professional, friendly and a very welcomed sight. My husband offered to buy him ice cream on the way home, but he refused had many more people to save. Sure appreciated the ride home.
Ross was an amazing help to us, we were stranded on the side of the road and he stopped to help us without being called to get us back on the road quickly. Thanks a ton!!!
Brian helped us today, he was very friendly. Very fast.
Brian was friendly and explained to me exactly what was going on with my car and what needed to be fix.
The police department had my vehicle towed (snow plowing issue) while I was recovering from Covid. It took some time to find out where the vehicle was having never had an issue in Austin before and not finding any answers online. I finally got an answer and left messages for the general manager to try and work something out, no reply. I spoke with someone today and they refuse to work with me at all. For a company that prides themselves for their customer service this is pretty disappointing. Unless AAA sends them I wont be calling Virgils for anything in the future.
Ross did everything he could, but the cold won :/ Really nice guy
Thanks for the wonderful fast service Brian!!!!!! Hope I dont need you again but wouldnt hesitate to call🇺🇸
Dave... I believe that was his name... great guy... made my experience comfortable after my car gave me a scare. Made sure my daughter and I didnt have to walk in the rain. Best experience Ive had in all the calls I have had to for other purposes on other occasions. Thank you.
Over priced, couldnt tow a salmon upstream
Ross was quick and helpful. Happy with the work. Thanks
Driver was excellent. He was very helpful and on time!
It was cold and and Ross fast and very friendly, i give him 5 stars rating
I broke down on I-90 around 10pm when my alternator went out and I called Midtown Towing in Austin. They were there in 25min.! The guy and his girlfriend were very nice, They towed my vehicle to Rochester and took me home down the street. I’d recommend this towing company to everyone!
Fast and friendly service.
I locked my keys in my car. These guys were quick and very friendly.
Fast, friendly, professional driver(Brian)
Joel was very calm and patient during my crisis! He did a great job helping me- and was even early!
I think they stole my driver side rear quarter window
Steve was great as always, has taken care of my towing needs the last 20 years.
Brain was the Tow truck driver and was very kind and helped ease our nerves after the wreck
I called they arrived very quickly was very satisfied
Ross was awesome, locked keys in truck and blocking road..he came right out and unlocked truck..👍Craig
Very reliable and friendly service tech.
Blew a tire on the interstate yesterday and could not get two of the lugs freed up. Called Midtown. Joel did everything he could to help me out. He had to improvise a bit but he got the tire off and the spare put on. Super fast and friendly service. Reasonable price considering what a tow would have cost me. Really appreciated his help yesterday.
Complete disaster!!
Great experience, highly recommended
