My toe was a little unorthodox being that I’m a technician and I had to move my toolbox from the dealership I was leaving and get it to my house. Toolboxes are a very large investment for a technician and an important part of our business so getting it towed right was important to me. Kens did a great job kept is secure and took all the precautions to keep it safe and undamaged all the way to my house. Helped get it into my garage and we’re nothing but courteous and respectful to me and my family.
Ken’s Westside Towing has always came to our rescue promptly, professionally and efficiently. I also love how personable and polite their staff is. I will definitely continue to use their service in future endeavors.
Kevin did an outstanding job of making sure my car was towed back to Carmel from Bloomington today. My car sits REALLY low to the ground. He was meticulous in ensuring my car didn’t get a single scratch. He was great!
My family and I took our 29-foot class-C motorhome on a camping trip. I discovered that the brake line had rusted and was leaking out all the fluid. I had to have it towed. Good Sam had sent Kens out to tow the vehicle. They were prompt and respectful of our situation.Good Sam had mistakenly ordered the camper to be serviced at another shop, that it turns out doesnt even work on motorhomes. The tow truck driver from Kens told me they were a couple weeks out at least, but that they MAY be able to look at the vehicle in a couple days. I thought that might be our best option, so he took it there to his shop.The very next day they looked at it and gave me a ballpark estimate what it would cost. They got the parts the day after and had the camper ready for us only 2 days after it broke down! And the cost came in $30 less than their estimated cost the day prior! How often does that happen?I couldnt be any more satisfied with the quality of service and professionalism at Kens! They helped us out of a tight spot, being from out of town. They put our situation as a priority and worked on our vehicle ahead of others, Im sure! Thank you, Kens!
Could not give a more glowing review, staff was clearly busy with it being a 24 hour towing service, but they handled everything amazingly, didnt waste my time, and told me what I needed to know, Would highly recommend, my car was towed and impounded for a day and the fees were only $200 which really isnt that bad all things considered. Love this business and hopefully I wont have to be back, but if I ever am, I know I will be in good hands. Thank you Kens for your amazing service!-P.S.- special shoutout to kevin he the goat
I had such a great experience with Shannon from Kens Towing just this morning. He was professional and friendly and respectful, even when I asked questions or gave answers that might have been pretty remedial. I didnt realize my tie rod had broken and he was creative and efficient in figuring out the best way to tow my car when they hadnt been prepared to tow a car with a broken tie rod. But he did it! I was really impressed with Shannon and he made sure everything I needed was taken care of before he left. Thank you Shannon, and thank you to Kens Westside Towing!
I had my car towed and everything went smooth and could not have been a better experience!
Long story short, called my Insurance company for a tow cause my bike broke down. They went thru Kens Westside for pickup. Was told it would be a few hours before it could be picked up. I had to abandon all hope after waiting 4 hours, left my bike where it sat and walked back to Jasper. The story gets worse, didnt bother to call to let me know that they safely picked up the bike, didnt call to let me know they delivered my bike to Harley Davidson of Bloomington, and then I get the blunt end of a conversation with the Harley Dealer because Kens Westside showed up 5 minutes after the HD dealer closed up for the day. In other words Im sure they are an excellent company for the Bloomington Local area, but be warned if your insurance company uses them, dont expect great service...
Ten Stars! Often times people only view a towing company as an organization that moves a vehicle from point A to point B. But in reality, they assist and help people in distress every day. This is true for Kens Westside Towing. They help those who are vulnerable and in need and do so in a professional, empathetic and respectful manner.I recently had a situation where Kens Westside Towing was called to tow and impound a vehicle of a family member. Ken (the owner) was the one who made the tow. When I called to understand how to retrieve the vehicle, Ken was immediately empathetic to our particular situation, walked me through the entire process and explained the required paperwork. He went as far as to provide me phone numbers and contact information for other organizations that needed to be involved to approve the release of the vehicle. In addition, as arrangements were made for other family members to pick up the vehicle, Ken proactively called me to ensure I knew the latest developments and informed me the vehicle was pulled around front for an easy and seamless transfer. Ken not only runs and manages a good business, Ken manages his business with the knowledge and empathy that each situation is different and unique.Thank you Ken for going above and beyond the call of duty and helping my family during this difficult situation. I firmly recommend your services to anyone in the Bloomington area. They should know your services will be performed with professionalism, respect and integrity.
Car had fallen off of the jack with a slow rolling motion, with the front tire removed. The very experienced and pleasant driver, expertly placed the lift under the front of the car and raised it so a jack stand could be placed to secure the car.He was so good at his job he made it look easy and quick.
Truck slid off gravel driveway in pouring down rainstorm, ended up at a 30+ degree angle down the hill. Kevin saved the day and managed to pull the beast back onto the road without flipping it (did I mention pouring down rain and a ridiculous angle?!), and did it in record time at a fair price. Hope not to need these folks too often, but glad to have their number handy!
The driver was very friendly and professional. He got the truck loaded without any problems. The cost was reasonable. I would recommend them to everyone who needs a tow.
Car battery died when for wasnt shut completely. Called roadside service. They were dispatched. It did take longer than expected. But there was road construction that was really delaying traffic, so not their fault. When they arrived they were quick, efficient and courteous.
Great customer service and helped me along the way as I had never had this kind of event happen before!
I have been using Kens for towing and mechanic work for quite some time and they have never let me down. It doesnt matter what my problems are, I know that Joe will get it in the door and out quickly repaired the way it needs to be repaired.
My vehicle was towed there recently after a wreck. I stopped by to get all of my belongings out of the vehicle which was quick and easy. Thomas Floyd who assisted me was very helpful and professional. Standing with me out in the rain helping me gather everything up and running to grabbing a screw driver so I could get my license plate. Overall a good experience for a bad situation.
AWESOME SERVICE. GREAT COMPANY.Kens Service was: quick to arrive; very friendly with GREAT attitudes and happy to be of assistance, even though it was late. Due to snow & ice conditions I was unable to get up my driveway. I parked at my neighbors. After getting my driveway cleared a bit, the rental got stuck in my neighbors driveway. Within minutes of arriving, they got the rental out unstuck from my neighbors driveway and pulled right up my driveway & parked rental in my garage. They MADE my night!!! Will always call them after hours for service in the future. Great job guys 👏 👏 👏
I could not crank my car up. Roger from the company came over and helped identify the issue and solved it instantly. He was a real pro. On time, professional and knowledgeable. Great service, highly recommended!
Ken’s towing has provided service for multiple vehicles over the years. For as long as I can remember I have only had EXCEPTIONAL Customer Service!! I am grateful for the friendly staff that are always sent!! Today was no exception...Thank you Kevin with Unit #3 for driving my vehicle over 60 miles and helping me out!!! Kevin, you are great!!! I gave a 5 star Because Kevin went over and beyond his way to help me.
Tech was very helpful. Whistled while he worked. Had my car tire changed and waiting on me when I came out of Emergency Room, IU BLOOMINGTON HOSPITAL!
I slid off of the road during the recent snow. Kens was dispatched out based off of my roadside assistance. They arrived in a timely manner, considering the snow storm we were getting. The driver was very nice and walked me through the process of pulling me out of the snow. Then he pulled me up the hill that caused me to get stuck. Once up the hill, he unhooked my car and asked if I could make it home from there. I told him I thought so. He decided to follow me home to make sure I made it safely. Once I arrived I gave him a thumbs up and he confirmed I was good before heading out. He didnt have to make sure I made it the couple of blocks home, but he did. I would definitely use them again.
Lockout services are great!! The driver was awesome and incredibly friendly! He arrived in a timely manner and helped me get my keys out of my locked vehicle. Total life savers
The dispatcher I spoke with was amazing. Kim helped me quickly and got the service truck to me in about 10 minutes to help me change a tire. Vinny, helped me change the tire and was super friendly. Got me all taken care of quickly. Thanks so much for taking care of me!
My car slid off my driveway and I could not get it to go anywhere. I called my roadside service and they sent Ken’s the next morning. The guy was really nice. My mother went out there with him and he told her to get in the car and put it in drive while he pulled it backwards. I don’t understand how that would work? Also after they got my car where I needed it, it was a day or so before I got in and drove it. I IMMEDIATELY feel something was wrong. I had a guy friend look at it and he said yep your rear shock is broken. I called Ken’s and told them but I have yet to hear from Ken himself and any plan to get this fixed. Hopefully they will do the right thing soon and call me.
Excellent communication and quick arrival to tow my car. They also provided an analysis of what could be wrong with the vehicle. Very satisfied.
My son was traveling from Florida to Indiana and had car trouble in Bloomington. I looked up some local shops that were nearby that also did towing. Kens Westside Service and Towing was who we chose and Im glad that we did. I dealt with Ken and Joe over the phone from Florida. They were very professional and helpful. The car was fixed on time and the price was very reasonable. My son made it to where he was going and back to Florida without any problems. Thank you and we appreciate all you did. I highly recommend this shop.
Kevin (unit 3 he said) just towed our trailblazer from our house and was very professional! He arrived earlier than the est time given. We were impressed at watching how he could get a car thats missing a whole wheel onto the truck, but it happened like it was no big deal. Which was appreciated considering how embarrassed we are at the whole no wheel situation in the first place. Thanks!
My experience at Kens Westside was AMAZING!I just want to leave a review on Mike Diamond, a very professional employee and he was able to check out my car 5 minutes after i arrived! Got my tires changed 6 months ago and no issues since :D
Everything was just fine, and taken care in a short time.
Highly recommend Ken’s Westside. They are always quick, professional and efficient. I was very pleased with Unit #1 driver Roger work recovering my vehicle. Thanks for providing the community an excellent business.
Very nice respectfully people. They would give there shirt off there backs to help anyone in need of there wasnt another way to resolve it. There techs on the truck side and car side are very knowledgeable and will help in any way they can. There wrecker drivers are a swell bunch of guys they go the extra mile. There heavy equipment transport drivers play it safe and keep the load on time.
Just had Kevin on truck #3 help tow my moms car. Great job, super fast, and didn’t scrape the bottom of the Tesla when unloading it. Would definitely recommend!
I had to use Kens twice this week and they have top notch service. Fast, reliable, friendly and professional. Roger did a great job both times!
Stuck on the shoulder in the dark on I-69 north of Bloomington late last night (12/28/20) and got towing service from Kens through my Roadside Assistance program. The woman who called me back right away from Kens (Kim?) was SO nice and reassured me that they were on their way. When youre stressed and frustrated, a pleasant voice with all the right answers is very welcome.Driver Roger arrived in an astoundingly short time, treated my car with great care, and was extremely helpful & friendly. Its clear that he takes pride in his work. I was offered several options, one of which worked out perfectly.Based on my experience, I would HIGHLY recommend Kens Westside Service & Towing to anyone needing quick, professional, safe, fairly-priced, and friendly emergency service. Kim and Roger - thank you for turning my pretty ugly situation into a a minor inconvenience and a good story to tell my buddies at breakfast this morning.
Somehow, after having driven for nearly 50 years, Ive managed to avoid having my car towed--until today. I was a bit nervous because of the stories Ive heard of truck-driver negligence resulting in car damage. Fortunately, I had little reason to be concerned. Kevin arrived right on time and that set the stage for a great experience. Kevin is professional, friendly, and its obvious that he knows what hes doing. I enjoyed chatting with him, too.
Easy peasy lemon squeezey service.also,bada boom bada bing fast.
We needed to come up and get some stranded trailers. I was very impressed with the dedication of the owner. Nearly 10pm and still there offering assistance. Super clean place. Top notch.
Amazing company Amazing service amazing people. They did an awesome job handling my equipment In a timely and very professional manner. If Im ever unfortunate enough to need a towing service again they would be my 1st call
So friendly and did an amazing job at a great price!
The guys were extra nice we had two tows in one week...lol first my patient truck then my car...
Excellent communication. Quick hookup and tow to the shop by Roger. Overall, Ken’s was quick, courteous, knowledgeable and very professional!
Mike Diamond was very professional when I went in. He explained to me exactly what I needed done to my vehicle thoroughly and efficiently. Super impressed with the business; definitely coming back next time I need something done!
Totaled my first vehicle that I saved and payed for all by myself. Ken came to tow it. Cost 300 dollars. I come from poverty and only one with money is me and im pretty devastated after all this I give and I give and I give and after the crash I was depressed and down in the dumps little money I do have was for big things so it was a blow to lose all my personals in such a short time that I worked so long for. Once I got home and Ken towed car their he gave me some good words to live by and 50 bucks back to put into another car great business and a greater man thank yiu Ken
The driver and service sent by Toyota Roadside Assistance ran off the road and damaged driveway, lawn, landscaping costing $1750. The owner has not returned my calls not made any attempt to fix the damage.
Home boy driving stopped on a back road where I needed speed to get up with snow on the ground and made me get stuck.
Used twice now. Both times tow truck dropped the vehicle at the garage and didnt tell the garage. Also, $90 for a tow is above market rate.
Incredibly late to coming to tow my car! the cops had to call and tell them to hurry up, it was that bad.
The staff has always been honest, thurough, and fast. I wouldnt go anywhere else for my car repairs.
Fast and effective. 100%
Used this service before always great. Recently seen a disturbing video from an employee but the owner quickly stepped up and made things right. Bravo Zulu to this company from a veteran. We are all in this together. Spread love not hate.
Wonderful service, great people, and fair prices. The owner is a decent human being too. Cant recommend enough.
These guys are great. Had to have major work done on my car and needed a tow as well. They took less time to get there and charged nowhere near as much as the other competitors. They are my new mechanic shop.
Never had any trouble with my service always courteous
Ive personally never have used Kens services but i want to leave a 5 star rating for how they handled a very serious social injustice.. What the owners did was very courageous and thats exactly what we need in todays society. Men and woman to step up no matter race, creed or color.. I take my hat off to you guys and i cant say thank you enough.. Its takes people of great character to do what had to be done.. Thank you thank you thank you..
The tow truck showed up on time but the driver was extremely rude and unprofessional. I was at a grocery parking lot and I had to call the dispatcher and tell them to tell the drive I was waving at him so he could get it in gear. He was very short when speaking to me as if he didnt want to say a single word to me. Then, I had to ask him to completely turn off my truck for the ride home. He argued with me saying leaving the key turned wasnt going to do any harm. Maybe a 30 minute ride wouldnt have done harm but Im the customer. Do you want more reviews like this?
I have used Kens for years for towing and for the last year for mechanical services that I cannot do. Best place in town for any work or towing.
They did an awesome job towing my F250, and the driver stuck around when he didn’t have to to help winch it on the trailer for us. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Had my car towed to their garage at 4:30am very quick and friendly service by Kevin. I will definitely be calling them anytime I need a tow in Bloomington
I recommend Kens Westside Service if you need to have a vehicle towed. The are reasonably priced. The gentlemen was professional and friendly.
When I went here Mike Diamond really walked me through what would need to be done with my car. very helpful :)
Locked myself out of my car for the first time- I knew Id do it eventually! They helped me out SO QUICKLY, it was incredible. I had just bought ice cream from Kroger and was going back to my apartment when I locked myself out (of my car AND apartment) and by the time I was able to get back into my apartment my ice cream hadnt melted in the slightest! Partially due to the cold weather, but mostly because they seriously got to me so. fast. Cant thank Kens Westside Services enough!
Seen what was said and how you handle the situation. Proud of your company for not allowing someone or family to say things offensive to others during these hard times. This is a time all need to come together. The world is crazy and I feel bad for those who dont understand how lifes are being changed on both sides. Hope you continue to have a successful business and wish you and your wife the best.
Good people to deal with. Owner is super nice and down to earth. Tries to do everything he can to help you out. Well trained employees, super friendly group of people. Will always recommend this company.
Used Kens to tow our car to the mechanic. Fair price, the tow operator arrived on time. No damage, no drama.
I dealt with Joe on the service and repair side. They performed a engine change for me. If the rest of the crew at Kens westside is anything close to how joe treated me then you will be in excellent hands. If I ever move to monroe county Kens would be my new shop for my vehicles. They may still end up getting more of my business anyhow with how they treated me and handled everything. definitely very good people and fantastic at taking care of their customers!Thanks again Joe and your crew!
Ken’s Westside Service was speedy and professional and got to our vehicle and fixed our issues quickly on the scene and was reasonably priced! Thank you, Kens;)
Went in for an oil change and a mystery problem, came out with everything back in order for a very fair price! They treated me with respect and kindness. SUPER happy with my experience at Kens Westside!
Kens is a great business and the owner is a very good man . known kenny for years and has always treated me right
I would never use them. Very bad service and bad people working for them. Never again. Do not waste your time and money.
The owner is a stand up guy. Just wanna take a moment to thank him for being an honorable human!
Very quick getting to me and getting the job done!
Just wanted to say u and your wife did the right thing and you guys have shown how upstanding you are professionally and personally. Im sorry u had to experience your recent issue n wish u success n good health.
Nice service but masks should be required when you offer towing services. Too bad a mask was not being used.
Nice lake, gets busy so we went at 0700 in the moring and got all of our activites done
Had a bad start to our day and got our 60 ft genie lift stuck in the mud. Called around a few places but was set on Kens after talking to dispatch when he seemed very positive of being able to get it pulled out ok. Jake came out in there 16 ton wrecker and got us all back in working order in a timely fashion. Thanks jake👍
The driver was very knowledgeable and polite. Would definitely recommend them to everyone.
Took hours to get to us but friendly enough. The job itself took less than 5 min.
Had a flat tire during my lunch hour. Called and they had a tow truck to my location in 20 minutes, and quickly changed the flat and I was on my way! Employee was very nice.
Lady who answered the phone was extremally rude and unprofessional. Refused service because it wasnt convenient for her. Would defiantly not recommend.
I was thankful for the jump but the gentleman was cranky and rude because I wasn’t standing by the garage when he showed up. I was in the bathroom. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt-maybe his dog just died.
Very helpful
Awesome guys, really strive to take care of your car
They were awesome. I called for a tow and they quoted 45 minutes for arrival and arrived after 20. Younger gentleman and he knew what he was doing. Asked me if I had someone coming to pick me up or if I needed a ride back with my car. I did have someone coming to pick me up and he waited with me until my ride arrived.
They are doing a great job and have a reasonable price. I didn’t expect to keep the driver waiting for a long time today and I felt very sorry about that. Overall, I would highly recommend their service!
Best two company in Bloomington!!! Thanks mens towing!!!!
Joe Wilson came to my Rescue ! I was very pleased and thankful for my service. I had to have my car towed to an Indianapolis Dealership. He was very polite and handled my car with care. He parked it in a very safe place and it was the first one taken care of the next morning. A Huge Thanks to Ken’s Westside Service & Towing for a very professional experience.
Been here for service several times. Found the work to be solid and the team helpful and honest. Good shop. I would recommend. Since they moved their shop to 3111 West Venture Blvd, Bloomington, IN 47404, much easier to get to and more places to park. Thank-you.
This business is a menace to society. I highly recommend finding an alternative service.
Very helpful and informative
They told a new employee at their 90 day review that theyre getting a raise and then the raise NEVER went on their check. When it was brought up it STILL wasnt put on their check. So they put in their two weeks notice and found another job. That is NOT how you treat employees when you brag so much about how you treat your employees like family. Dont work for this company! They lie and say you got a raise and then never put it on your check. Even after the employee was nice enough to give a two week notice ken told him to go ahead and leave a week early, shorting him a check. Now ken wants to deny the ONE week of unemployment the ex employee is requesting. AWFUL LEADERSHIP, him and his wife...
Five star rating for taking a stand on social injustice when it would have been easy to turn the other way.
As a black man I think the owners apology for his sons action were deepfelt and sincere and I thank you for speaking out against his comments.
Very happy I called Kens Westside today. Came out super quick. Got me going at very good rate. If I ever need services like that again, Ill be calling them first.
People here are wonderful and enjoyable to talk to. They get down to business and they dont waste your time. Though they will take your money (meaning it can be costly). But theyre honest about whats wrong with your car. Its worth the money you spent. You know your car is fixed and you dont have to worry about anything else being wrong with your car for a while.
Never used this company before. Glad they made a statement and are being a part of the solution.
Honestly, this place takes advantage of students and they conspire with the Purdue police to do so. I suspect they share the spoils with each other. Why do I say that? If your car is towed neither one will attempt to notify you so it maximizes the ticket cost you get. They have access to your info with your parking pass and license plate but make no effort at all to contact you. Meanwhile, each day you tally up more money until the day you need your car and see its gone. For a student that may be a week or two later! This resulted in a $550 ticket. When asked about the no notification issue both the police and tow place claimed it was the others responsibility. Criminals!
Had my first towing experience today. Driver was friendly and courteous. Fast service and reasonable prices for a weekend tow!
Son goes to Kelly.We live 30 miles South of Chicago. Son had a wheel break off car at his house. Kens picked car up, within 15 minutes of call, and made great repairs at a very fair price. Being far away we looked up many repair places for confidence (Midas being the worst) and asked the University for a recommendation, and decided on Kens. A parent is always worried, when four hours from their children, but Ken s put the worries to rest. I thank Kens for quick honest service and mostly for taking my worries away and getting my son back on the road. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!Thanks Mike, Rick
