The ppl in here are beyond rude starting with the employees but as the further you go you see they get it from their supervisor.I understand its a work establishment but they should not be allowed to handle people property careless and then talk to them careless. I did NOT receive my car back in the same condition I sent it in as. And thats when everything became an issue.
Our first time here, you also have to pay at another location which is downtown on w superior that they don’t tell you about until later
My son took care of his business very quickly. The staff was very helpful to him.
Towing and fork lift operator destroyed my Jeep. I have an E-Brake and 4WD. They decided to tow it for overnight parking ban violation WITHOUT DOLLY OR FLATBED. This vehicle cannot be towed with 2 wheels on the ground. Flat tow in neutral or flatbed is the only option.Strut(s) broken, alignment is completely off. Not to mention lifting a vehicle by the transmission with a freakin FORK LIFT. It now appears the transmission and/or PTU are destroyed/leaking. Great work guys.Filing a claim and will be suing if this doesnt get resolved quickly.
If you have the unfortunate experience of having your vehicle towed here, get ready for nasty attitudes by the women who work in the office. Be prepared to be sent off, meaning you can call ahead of time to see what all you need to bring to retrieve your vehicle and once you arrive, expect to need more. Be prepared to wait a while so bring something to eat and drink. Oh and expect to pay money. I think they send you off so you waste more time which adds to more storage fees, etc.
Very outgoing ladies that work front counter. Was in and out and treated me with understanding considering I was paying alot of money to get car out. Way more understanding and professional than city pound on lower Wacker drive.
You just cannot give the impound lot 5 stars.
Just make sure you have all the right documentation when retrieving your vehicle from this place.. Also make sure your vehicle has an updated city sticker and come with extra money and someone with a license if you dont have one.. And no outstanding tickets either..
Very fast workers but when they impounded my vehicle they tore off my 2 tickets off so they can try & do a double bubble!!!# Be careful
The clerk who assisted me offered great customer service. The male cashier was dry. The men working outside were kind. Long wait though. Car cannot leave the lot without a city sticker
Definitely filing a complaint with BBB....They tow truck broke my front bumper and scratched it bad.The staff is so unprofessional they have (wear a mask) or no service signs all over the place and yet they dont even wear it........
They are so rude and have attitude no matter how you speak to them. Avoid coming here
If you have a chance avoid to get towed, trust me its worth it. In this Auto Pound they relocate vehicles with giant forklift which damages underneath of the vehicles.
Horrible place! They steal from your car, cypher your gas and the workers are lazy and rude!
My experience was awesome it was great the young lady that took care of me and the two young men that help me with the things getting out of my car was awesome.
This place was absolutely aweful. The staff is rude and has no sense of how to deal with people. No understanding and zero compassion. Pray you never have to deal with them under any circumstance. I did nothing wrong but try to retrieve my dead relatives things and they put me through hell and 5 hours of going back and forth. Unbelievable and unfortunate that people are so nasty. Not right.
COVID nightmare, don’t come here if you don’t want COVID cuz they serving that up for free all day long in this depressing little portable
Got the run around finally got my car
Mean and rude saw them picking up and Literally dropping people vehicles
Thay are the rudest people you going to deal with.Just to dont give you your truck or car making up some additional paperwork and dokument so can squeeze more money from you
The black older women in a tight red hoodie was unnecessarily unprofessional and rude. Kept rolling her eyes at me And she didnt even service me. I was confused
Unprofessional and very disrespectful on the phone. Ridiculously horrible customer service
They was so kind and very helpful not to mention they gave me time to get my car running theyre definitely good people
I own a car dealership and had a vehicle a customer stolen impounded. I am in Iowa and got a list of everything needed to get the vehicle out of the impound, then once we get there they admit they forgot about one item and the officer I dealt with in Iowa was gone for the day. So we had to drive another 4 hours back home for another 8 hour round trip the next day. Then I specifically told them not to let the thief back into the vehicle, then guess what, they let her clear everything out of the car, owners manual, extra key. This place is a joke
Had no issues. Clean.
Its ok 👌🏾
These people that are employed at this place of business are so unprofessional. They are rude and incapable of accurately answering questions. They hang up on you if they dont like the questions youre asking and they dont tell you that they are charging you twenty dollars as soon as your car enters their yard plus whatever fees already exists be careful with them they try to be nickel slick ask questions people they wont like it but it is necessary
Asked us to leave phone number but never call us. Waist our time!
Clown show worse ever Im glad not my vehicle
If you dont know you will. They stole things from my vehicle.
DANGER !!!! CHECK YOUR CAR BEFORE LEAVING THE TOW LOT, THE MOVE YOUR CAR WITH A FORK LIFT THAT CAN CAUSE VERY VERY BAD SUSPENSION DAMAGE. THEY LIED AND SAID THEY DONT USE FORKLIFTS, I SEEN IT MYSELF AND HOW ELSE DO YOU MOVE TOWED CARS IF YOU DONT HAVE THE KEY. MY SUSPENSION WAS ALL MESSED UP WHEN IT WAS DRIVING FINE 24 HRS PRIOR. THEY WANT YOU TO GO THREW HOOPS TO GET YOUR CAR REPAIRED. AND IT CAN TAKE 4-6 TO REPAIR. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SHOULD BE IN THE MAKINGS.
If youre patient and courteous like you should be, you will get prompt, courteous service. Remember, its not their fault you werent a responsible vehicle owner. If you drive legally by the book, pay your tickets, drive and park responsibly you wont have to come here. They do their job the way they are supposed to.
Beautiful
This is the worst place to get your car towed! Period! I been here since 3:30pm and it’s now 10:10pm. Well the customer serous so rude. All these ladies in here are rude with strong mean attitudes. The cashier was rude. The men in the lot was rude. I don’t understand why this place is still running. I get to my car an it’s no gas. It won’t cut on. And then they had my car running all night!!? For what reason you would have my car running all night and how did you get in my car to have it running all night? Now my car won’t work at all! And no one I mean NO ONE is willing to help me or at least to try and warm my car up. This is so sad and all I see is everyone just laughing and talking to each other but is not trying to check on me an my car. I gave y’all all this money just to sit here an wait for another tow company to come an take my car home because they used up my gas an had my car running all day!!! That is not how business supposed to run at the pound especially if you don’t have the key. I’m telling you guys please if your car is here make sure you have the right paperwork the money and check your car all the way because they will use your car and trash it and look the other way. Ladies have a male with you or someone who knows about cars. Because I’m a young lady an don’t know anything about cars and all I’m hearing is my car is frozen. But how is my car frozen and they had it running all night???? This doesn’t makes any sense to me!
Additiude could need some improvement
I was glad one of the ladies was very helpful I wish I knew her name she was an African American. The Hispanic female with the balck hair just standing around doing nothing, even if she sees people in line, she was acting like she was doing work and just when she feelt like taking care of the costumer shell go on the window to take care of the customer. Needs to work on her customer service attitude.
Service is not good
ABSOLUTELY THE WORST PLACE TO GET YOUR VEHICLE IMPOUNDED ASKED FOR ALL DETAILS TO GET MY VEHICLE OUT GOT THERE AND SAID OH WELL ITS AN OPEN TITLE SO WE CANT GIVE THE CAR TO YOU AFTER SHOWING THEM I BOUGHT THE CAR PAY THE NOTE FOR THE CAR SAID THAT THEY CANT RELEASE MY VEHICLE TO ME !!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE THE SO CALLED SUPERVISOR WAS THE WORST I WILL BE FILING A LAWSUIT
Terrible place. Move all cars with a forklift, completely obliterated my tailpipe and lost my registration card.
Of course when I went to retrieve my car, it was raining!(Down pours) I missed the small trailer and my GPS was no help! Had all documentation in order, no credit or debit card accepted. Went to locate my car and couldnt find it! The rain had stopped we just could not find my Nissan Quest!! Drove around in what I would consider a car grave yard. The driver shift had ended and he wouldnt give up until I had my car! It was very cold this day and the gentleman at the gate allowed me to wait inside the heated shack until my car was brought up front. I purposely went late at night so that I didnt have the Hassel of long lines. Wouldve been in and out of only they couldve located my Vehicle.
This auto pound is the worst towing lot EVER. They purposely make your life a living hell. They give you the wrong information to buy themselves more time to charge you more by the day. ANNETTE is one of their employees and she is beyond rude with the nastiest attitude you could imagine. She gets off on debating back and forth with you. Best of luck to you if you have to deal with them.
The worst experience ever .They tell u about 20 mins for your car but is actually like a 3 hour waiting time . And the people here are so rude its a mess here . Also make sure your car isnt damaged from the tow there is a lot of that going on.
I pray for people who have to deal with this despicable place.
My car was towed for an honest mistake I made on South State Street. My new car sustained over $2,000 in damages. The front bumper was damaged and they put a hole in my radiator which left the car undriveable. I discovered the radiator leaking out coolant as I was trying to change a tire that was punctured. I had already paid $170 for the towing services and was told to drive the car outside of the pound. They rendered my car inoperable and basically threw me out on the street. Thankfully I have roadside assistance. I still cant get anyone on the phone three days later to help me make a claim and file it with my insurance. This is a racket. The City of Chicago allows it to happen with a no-bid contract with United Road Towing. Such a great city but what terrible corruption that is apparently tolerated.
Coty rip off attist
All the ladies that work there specially the Spanish speaking ones are very disrespectful, rude and find happiness in frustrating people that come over to get there car. They all need to be trained on what customer service is all about and the white manager with the blonde hair wasn’t helpful has instead of been the reasonable one all she did was join the rest in been neglectful. They all need IQ test has common sense is way far from their life’s.To the sp+ lady that told me I can’t pay with my card and I have to drive out to get cash when I could have paid with my card all because you felt somehow God will judge you it’s 2020 and the way yall stressed me out today after towing my car for the wrong reason yall lifetime will take the wrong turn in 2020 FACTS because you guys intentionally tried to break me by fustrating me. God will punish you all Amen.
Its never fun to have to go to the auto pound to retrieve your car. That aside im handicap and the people at the impound lot where great. I never left the vehicle I came in my nephew went in did everything paid and the clerk brought the papers out to the car for me to sign. They made a bad situation as good as possible. Other cities should follow suit.
Yes. Very very rude people. They think they dont have to treat people respectfully just because they work for city of chicago. They should treat people with more respect and kindness. I would give them negative 5 stars if possible they deserve not to have a paying job.
It only went quick for me because I had my registration, drivers license, and car insurance. And cash. Do not go there using a friends credit card, your name has to be on the credit card, and have exact change. It is an awful place!
Terrible place to process a vehicle for forensic evidence.
Excellent service considering the circumstances that brought me there
Make sure you have cash because the credit card machine is “down”. There is an atm at the cta building but this will be at least a 15 minute walk.
I was left standing in a puddle in the cold. As I listened to employees joke about distraught customers. Service vehicle was muddy. I had a horrible experience. On top of My vehicle being stolen and totaled.
Make sure your. Vehicle is not. Demage or nothing wrong with your. They don’t take care of your car they move cars. Around using a forklift
Very sad customers service
Place is a dump. Rude/Unhelpful staff. Cash only and be prepared to wait. Inefficiency is the only thing theyre good at.
Customer service was very good and helpful under the circumstance.
Horrible experience. Slow. Inefficient. Dirty.
Extremely unprofessional clerks, were very rude, Ill concerned, pretentious and obnoxious. Hope to never have to go there again. They fail to inform patrons of their right to request a hearing in order that the city can be found liable and any fees can be refunded.
Ive been to the pound many times in my life, however, this facility is extremely helpful and very proffesional
These people have no compassion. My sisters husband was murdered in the vehicle that we went to pick up, and since the car was in her name they forced her to go into the pound to retrieve the vehicle. They refused to let me do it for her. We went to the pound together. She had all of the paperwork necessary. She had a panic attack and everything. After she recovered, they had her go into the pound and comply with their demands! NO HUMILITY
Quick & Fast
Its the city nothing more to wxpect
If you ever want to know the true meaning of ride them just go here to get you car out of this pound. The only people who get treated some what nicely are the lawyers who are there to get there car. They surely dont want a lawyer to get angry over their ignorance.
They use forklift to pick up ur car fromThe front n back n pop ur tires n tow truck drivers charge u 15$ to fill up tire with air
No one wants to be here unless its yo job.be sure 2 chk frame of yo car before u leave cuz they use construction vehicles to move cars..not gd!!!
They are terible
I went in to see if they had my truck there and there where 3 women at the window and only one working. I was the next person up and took them about 20 mins to call me up. After that I gave them the plate number and she said that plate number wasn’t there so then I went to the police station to see what was going on and the police officer told me the truck was there. So there I go back and forth wasting time I went back to the pound and I told her the officer said it’s there. She looked it up again and she found it 😑. Lack of effort trying to assist the people.
If you have all in order they are helpful
Part of the company I work for.
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. Also if your car is not registered in your name, bring cash, as they do not accept cards in that case.
Hurtful, my car was damaged so bad, I left it there.
Uhhhhh its a pound who likes to pay for their car getting pounded
Every pound sucks
It was quick service
Unprofessional behavior
I cant say I LIKED the place, the people were friendly enough my car wasnt damaged.
I’m not IL resident and my car is not IL title! Only because my I used my hotel address so they asking for a chicago city sticker!How should I buy a city sticker when I’m NOT IL resident!Also the procedure is extremely complicate!They charting each other all the time.
Ignorant..rude..horrible customer service. They lie and tell you that you need things that you dont need and said they didnt sell city stickers when they actually do..
Good place . dont like it pay your bill
Patient and respectfully #1 priority
Lets be honest. It is an impound lot, the employees deal with angry people most of the day. There is no winning on either side. My advice dont get your car towed
A criminal organization founded by the chicago police Department and the local and state governments of the area to keep the citys and states citizens poor.
Laziest, slowest people. Too much back and forth between ppl and windows. I guess the employees are too incompetent to see a matter all the way thru. I would have complained while there, but I was only giving someone else a ride there. Not my situation so I bit my tongue.
Im just upset i had to come all the way out here 😂😭😭😭
Rude staff and they stole sneakers and a tablet from a car pounded there!
Not a good experience. My husband was carjacked and what we went through to get it back, was line we were the criminals. Smh
I was lucky that everyone was very nice, helpful and professional. I only hope this will be the only and last time I go here.
It was good sx for an auto pound.
The size of the impound lot says there are some busy tow truck operators and upset car owners. Enjoy!
Clerk acts like your bothering them by coming here as if you asked for yours car to be towed away.
Uncooperative, changing requirements necessary to get your car back. They appear to make it difficult to retrieve your vehicle so that they can make more money on storage fees.
Very nice, & accomodating
Make sure you do everything within the law for you dont get your car towed got on the fire ride
Missing my title for my truck and eye glasses
Very bad and unprofessional service at this place, all the department needs to be retrained,
Workers lied about a car being there. They pretended to look for it.
