Very easy to work with, which was a pleasant surprise!After a wreck, Pittsburgh Police had my car towed here, and my insurance totaled it.It was super easy to get in to retrieve all my personal belongings (Though they only let one person in, so be prepared to do it all yourself), and they were patient while I got everything out, even helping when I had trouble with my license plate.Just make sure to take your ID and a copy of your vehicle registration or title with you to prove ownership (if your registration is in the car you can download a copy for free from PennDOTs website)
I am a quality carriers driver and your guys came and towed me a mile or so to a safer location. The service truck that did my repairs was excellent also. I wish I could have got there names but they worked the evening shift at 8 pm on 8/27/21. If you could look them up they are excellent guys.
McGann and Chester has been wonderful to deal with. All questions are promptly and politely answered with compassion and respect. I hope to never need their services again but Im pleased with how they handled my vehicle.
Well wasnt happy about the car being towed in the first place but its their job. the pick up experience was fast and orderly. They were nice and informative. Vehicles are safe.
Jay really helped my boyfriend out of a jam this morning and we couldnt be more appreciative. He was fast, knowledgeable, and an overall great guy. We will absolutely be using this service from now on.
Can you really give a towing company a good review after they towed your car without your consent? Sure, they did it on behest of the City of Pittsburgh, unfortunately that doesnt really help me on a financial level - I was charged $200 - or on a psychological level (city should have never ordered that tow). I will say though, they have some nice mechanics.
Nice and very helpful. Their towing service is related to AAA somehow.
The lady named Daphne was very professional and gracious to work with when retrieving my granddaughters stolen vehicle.
Really bad morning got alot easier when Jay pulled up. Car needed pulled out of a ditch and with these Pittsburgh hills, I didnt make it easy on him. Im happy to give McGann and Chester my business now and in the future. Thanks again Jay.
Thanks for your prompt and courteous service when we were in need of help with a blowout. We were stranded three hours from home on a Saturday evening with a bus load of athletes. Special thanks to Brice for his hands on interest in getting us help and his follow-up calls to check on our progress. Brice and the tow truck driver were friendly voices of encouragement. Thanks!
McGann and Chester came through when AAA could not. Been a AAA member for 45 years - when the AAA driver arrived he said he couldn’t get me out and didn’t want to risk getting stuck himself. He left with nothing but me in my car stuck in the snow in a remote area.When Ryan from McGann and Chester arrivals he said simply no problem. It did take him about 45 minutes to pull me out, but he did it professionally and with confidence. I definitely give McGann and Chester five stars. When nobody else can do it call McGann Chester
Picked us up on estimated time and knowledgeable drivers on how to tow our 24 ftBox truck 👍👍
This is my first time that I visited the office of McCain & Chester to talk to Daphne on surrendering my vehicle which I know longer need anymore. Herself along with the entire staff are very kind, helpful, and professional. Now I got theyre business card & I would recommend anyone I know who needs any service done on any circumstances. McCain & Chester deserves more than five stars. Theyre there for you 24/7 & theyre the best place in Town.
Very nice and professionalArrived fast and no hidden charges. Shouldnt be, they cost enough.😝
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Family owed and run.
My driver was Mr. Boo. What a great individual indeed. Knowledgeable, on time, company man through and through. He could have left as we were waiting for keys but he waited. I will request him again.
Had a great experience. Nick was awesome, took care of my issue when another company couldnt. He went above and beyond. Excellent customer service and professional. They know what they are doing.
Let’s be honest, who is happy when they get towed?!? Exactly! But everyone there is kind, patient and makes the experience not so bad. If you need a tow, call them if you got towed there...consider yourself lucky! They’re nice and reasonably priced. Now if you excuse me while I feed my meter...
Thank you for being fair, honest and sending someone that is skilled at his job. I have a BMW 335XI lowered just a bit. My car had a axel failure and not drivable . The flat bed driver, Jay-- skillfully loaded and secured my car,took it to my house and off loaded without a problem or worry. It was 10:30 0n a Friday night he was there in less than 45 min. Highly recommend this towing service. Julian D.
Towe guy was very nice and respectfulhe helped me better understand what exactly was wrong with my car. With that i can say i learned something from him . great customer service i would recommend this company to others he towed my Nissan exterior 2008 . pricing was reasonable thank you kindly for making me a satisfied customer
They have great customer service and the drivers are knowledgeable about their jobs.
They do what they do... Not convenient.. But necessary
Excellent service. I called billy he sent the truck there in 15 minutes. The driver was very polite and professional. Great local family owned business. Thanks
I will say this, I called the lady who answered the phone was so polite, understanding, and just plain out genuinely a good hearted person. I was locked out of my car in the cold with my child. She sent someone right away. The man came and was able to get the passenger door to open after trying the driver door, the lock and the driver door again. I thought he was ready to give up but he went to the passenger side it was not working, I could tell he wanted to stop it was cold he didn’t and on the last try he was able to get it popped. Even though he left his wedge on my car I was able to meet him later that night where without me asking handed me a portion of my money back. This man was a GOD send and I will recommend and always use this company for anything dealing with my car issues that they can help with.
First time getting a flat tire on my Tesla. Wanted a towing company who is familiar with Teslas. Hoping I don’t need them again but I’m keeping their business card and already referred them to another Tesla owner, just in case. Rob was very professional and respectful, I was expecting some miserable, knows all, dirty guy and McGann and Chester was the opposite and definitely recommend. Rob said they tow all over the USA and all vehicles.
Rude, unprofessional, and unhelpful. Absolutely do not recommend.
These guys are definitely on the ball. Communication was excellent, speedy arrival and very knowledgeable mechanic had me back rolling in no time. Bill was my mechanic and he was a very down to earth very personable likeable blue-collar individual. He was awesome and prepared and had me back rolling within minutes. Guy was amazing! Will definitely be calling these guys again. Do alot of runs to and from PA. Thank you guys for an awesome service and great people!
My car broke down on Route 28 heading into the city of Pittsburgh. I called Mcgann & Chester, the lady that had answered the phone was very pleasant and helpful. She was quick and let me know the tow truck would be there ASAP and that the tow would be 175.00. I had asked her if the tow truck driver could drop my car off at the shop and ride me home. They had no problem with that at all. The driver was there in 15 minutes at 4:30pm in rush hour traffic. He was very friendly and had my car towed and me home safely in no time. Thank you for the good experience. Hopefully I never need you’re service again, but if I do I know who to call. McGann & Chester
The staff was very nice, but the buisness practices are predatory
McCann &Chester Towing made a bad experience bearable. The driver was able to tow my car from a garage on the North Shore and get it home safely. I recommend.
Jay was quick and very kind. I was very appreciative of his help and service. He was familiar with the dealership where I had to go and he helped me a ton.
I called them to come and give me a jump they came to be in less than an hr the customer service was superb and fast i would highly recommend them.
Our Tri Axle broke down with a full load on. 72,000 lbs. These guys towed the truck back to our shop. Great Responds time and Great Price. Thank you !
Watched one of your drivers load up an Impala SS from River Road in Pittsburgh and tow it up 28, getting off at the Highland Park Bridge exit, with only the front of the car held by the winch.For miles, I watched this car bounce all over your truck. I was just waiting for it to fall off and cause a major accident.I hope the owner checks the rims of their car because Im pretty sure I watched them get slammed by the bed rails ...May want to consider a different company for your tows.. or at the very least.. check to make sure your car is strapped down ...Edit - 07/18/2019 - Feel free to post pictures proving otherwise then. Once posted I will edit my review. Until then, my proof stands as public information as to the carelessness of your company.
Got a recommendation from a friend of mine who works in a high position in the auto repair field. He suggested this place citing good reviews from stores he services. Can confirm. They were early and professional.
Great service was sitting in the middle of an intersection with 2 toddlers on a 85 degree day. Called them and 15 mins later my vehicle was picked up and took it to the shop met with us and we was able to pay online also. Fantastic service very professional and understanding. Will work with you on how to pay. Very satisfied!
I clipped a curve and pushed my bumper into the tire they changed the tire and straightened the bumper and you cant tell it was bent definitely recommend them
Repaired the trailer in 30 min. Honest and nice working personal. Definitely will use them again. Thank you
The rate was a little higher than expected but the driver, Mr. Boo, was professional and courteous to me through the whole affair. The man deserves a raise!
Very polite and had me off the ice in about 15 min and rolling
I do a small part time job for Carnegie Mellon University, of which McGann and Chester is an affiliated contractor.The staff here is unusually helpful. From the garage, to the mechanics, to the front office staff. Theyre always friendly and hospitable. I wish all establishments were this way; Id always want to give them my business.
I waited outside in the cold in an alley in Pittsburgh Im a single woman, for an hour, had to call your company to see what was taking so long only to find out that the driver went on another call and nobody bothered to contact me they sent another driver and that was great but I will never use your service again and I will make sure that nobody I know uses them either.
Hit something on 279S and ended up sitting on the Veterans bridge with a flat tire. Mr. Boo was there in FIFTEEN MINUTES and we were on the road 5 minutes later . I had my 78 year old dad in the car whos on portable oxygen. This was amazing service . Thank you.
The mechanic came out went right to work found leveling valve bad took valve apart and repaired same something that the new generation doesnt know about. Very pleased with the service. Thanks chad
Had one of our older units break down these guys were awesome especially the mechanic that showed up. Great personalities, great service, prices are on the higher end but the old saying holds true; you get what you pay for.If you find yourself down and out in Pittsburgh call these guys
Very kind people when daughters car was in a accident.
They are very unprofessionall.
Most professional tow truck driver I’ve ever used and very good and knowledgeable I’ll never call another company these guys the best tnks Mccann and Chester Gary&Sons Tree Svc
When our rental RV would not start on day one of a 6,000 mi trip We were panicked. Fortunately Chad from McCann and Chester was able to come to us, diagnose the problem, get the right part, and had us up and running within hours. We cant thank Chad enough for his expertise and 24/7 availability!
Pick up service was set up by Anderson Equipment in Bridgeville, PA to take our Komatsu wheel loader from Neville Island to Bridgeville. Driver arrived on time, machine was located and loaded for transport. Process was very smooth. Thanks!
Rapid response for an on-Interstate tow (original eta was 1.5 to 2 hrs, there in just over 1). Efficient hook and safe hook up of tractor and loaded trailer, and Doug the wrecker op was genuinely a nice guy.I hate having to have been towed in, but the experience was a positive
Main facility cannot be accessed by truck. Must call and you will be directed to an off site location.
I was so relieved to see the truck show up. Thank you for getting to us so quickly. The driver was efficient and friendly. I highly recommend McGann & Chester Towing!
Great experience using McGanns. Boo our tow driver was knowledgeable and very helpful.
Hey this is Premier Shipping I just wanted to give a shout out to Chad your roadside service tech, he is absolutely amazing. There is nothing this guy cannot fix out on the road. I’ve had numerous occasions with a handful of different companies and nobody has ever came close to Chad‘s work. If it wasn’t for Chad I would never call roadside again.Thanks
Called for a service because of broken studs on my rear axle. They sent Chad with a a 90-120 minute. He showed up in 60 minutes. Assessed the situation and gave me his opinion on what needs to be done for safety. A new hub made the most sense instead of trying to replace studs. And I feel safer just doing it with new parts. Will definitely call again as I am in Pittsburgh Monday through Friday every week. Thanks
Brian the driver was great. Made a 6hr plus tow at least enjoyable
I was so happy with their services!😀🙏🏻
Thank you for your service . My driver was jammed up in a ditch and you guys were life savers. Thank you.
Not one complaint! An an insurance agent, I’ll be recommending them to anyone in the Pittsburgh area.
They were fantastic and helped us get our car to the service station.
They were quick to respond and show up to tow my vehicle. Ray the driver was very helpful when I was surprised with a dead battery and helped jump my vehicle to get it out of its parking spot and loaded on the truck.
This place is too expensive they work with the police to take away ppl car
On time. Guys were very helpful. Went above and beyond most towing companies
Work truck broke down and got towed back to branch
Their mechanics are friendly and always takes the time to explain the findings. And I actually understand. I like dealing with the group.
He took great care of my Tesla!!! Thank you!
McGan&Chester services is prompt and professional their equipment is top notch
I know no one like to get their car towed, but if you do McGann and Chester has the friendliest Customer Service Representative Daphne. Shes very sympathetic to your needs and treats you with the utmost respect. She is also hilarious. You gotta Love her!!!
Very friendly professional tow service. My truck broke down and they drove 5 hours out to me with a new truck to swap out and was so help full when he got there. Ask for Ryan he is ur man. Very happy with everything highly would recommend to a friend or company. Great job!
These guys are great! Chad came out and repaired my problem without a problem. Nice guy and definitely knew what he was doing. Ill use them again without hesitation.
Fantastic company, the driver that came out to my truck was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. Also the cab of the tow truck was very clean inside making the ride to the shop very pleasant. A+ establishment
I was stuck in the snow 3 flats called AAA took them 4hr freaking hrs for them to come just to tell me they couldnt do it me and my 15 yr old sat for hrs thanks for McCann and Chester got me out with no problem and got me and my home with no issues if not we would have been stranded in snow and freezing cold
Highly recommend. Did a great job. Saved our truck from extensive secondary damage, through their patient and measured approach to recovery.
I was assisted Roadside by a gentleman by the name of Ryan I do believe. He was incredibly professional with great customer service skills. The overall experience was quick, timely, and professional on the actual service end. Kudos for having such a polite person to answer roadside calls and to deal with customers in the worst times. It makes even the toughest situations calming.Answering service I was placed on holds and people had to ask others many questions to process my order and request.Although my experience was over all a very pleasant experience I would recommend utilizing giving a client an estimated time on emergency services and having the person answering the phone trained well on services and billing costs. This would help instill confidence within the customer.
I’m a CDL driver and I could not enter Ohio because I was over height. So a guy came to help me and he figured out a fast safe and easy way to get a 75 pound piece from the very top of my load. He was very helpful and concerned. If I’m in the area I won’t no one but these guys.Thanks Chad
Not that anyone likes to retrieve their towed car, but it was fairly easy, staff was helpful and they take you to your car with a golf cart
Very knowledgeable on the equipment to be towed. up to date on newer equipment. professional and courteous.
I was stranded in Downtown Pittsburgh with my child. The Driver went above and beyond to help me. I’m so thankful to be home safe and sound. Thanks so much. Highly recommended
They are the best company because they have the best owner BILL CHESTER is the man. The world needs more guys like him.
My stolen van was recovered and towed by ( McCann@Chester) on 11/06/2019 and it was kept at their lot for 16 day. Then i received letter from them informing about my van. So i had to pay $525 to get my van. The question is why do you keep it for such a long time ????
It was a quick phone call quick conversation I was quoted a very reasonable price they came about 15 minutes later faster than I thought they were the driver was super nice and he moved quickly the best experience I ever had
Took an hour and a half longer than what they said over the phone for a driver to show up. Driver was very professional and courteous. No issues besides the timing.
These guys are always the best. Thank you for all your years of great service with me. I greatly appreciate all you have done and continue to do.
Everyone I talked to or dealt with was so incredibly nice and helpful. From the initial call to the tow itself, everything was handled so professionally. I even got a call after the car was dropped off at the shop to let me know it was there and all was good! Hands down the best towing company I have ever dealt with!
After an fortunate incident with an unmarked curb in downtown Pittsburgh Sunday night Adam showed up promptly with his flatbed truck and expertly secured my vehicle. He was also kind enough to make an extra stop on the way to the tire shop (mind you this was after midnight) Couldn’t be happier with the professional friendly service and would highly recommend these guys! I will definitely send any towing business their way although I hope it’ll be a long time before that happens again 🙂
Tiffany the Office Manager helped me and my husband to straighten out unfinished business regarding a car that got towed to McGann & Chester. She was informative, kind and very considerate regarding our feelings of losing our car. She was very attentive and timely to a request we made. Despite losing our car Tiffany made the transition easy. Thank you Tiffany!
They do not overcharge they are extraordinarily professional and fair you couldnt ask for any better service under the circumstances you might find yourself and your vehicle at their locations.
Called for road service because transmission wasnt shifting in even gears. They drive 7 miles and charged 2 hour minimum ($190) and $95 truck fee and sent someone that knows nothing about a super 10 transmission therefore did nothing. And to top it off when their so called machanic got out of our truck left it in 3rd gear while the truck was running. So no please do not use this company unless you wanna be take. Advantage of.
I broke down on a very busy highway towing Manufactured house! We call several tow company in the Pittsburgh area most of them didn’t want to deal or didn’t have the equipment to deal with it!Ryan from McGann Chester towing was there very Quickly. With a very professional manner took charge and handled a difficult recovery in a short amount of time. His experience really shows and I would recommend this company to anyone!
These guy’s take care of my classic’s. They picked up my next project with out damage. Thanks again for the great service!
My wife was stuck on ice and blocking traffic. It was taking a while for me to get to her due to traffic. One of the drivers spotted her, pulled her out and onto the side of the road in a safe spot. He was a good samaritan that helped her when she was having a terrible afternoon. We greatly appreciated his service and thoughtfulness of others.
I have had the unfortunate luck of having to have multiple vehicles wrecked and impounded over the last year and they have all ended up here. The process of getting my belongings was always simple they were helpful and didnt make things unnecessarily difficult. When i had to deal with the front desk for insurance and other issues they were helpful, attentive and thorough. When i ran into snags the helped me to work out a solution.
Best service ever! First, the driver came exactly when scheduled. Second, he was able to jump my battery when my attempts to do so had failed yesterday. He saved me so much money and it was his suggestion to try jumping again. Really nice guy, on time, and fair prices. I would definitely recommend.
I liked Ken and he worked hard to do a good job, treating my new car with care. I would have been more comfortable had he had a bit of training on the Tesla Model 3. He had never towed one before and while all went well, Teslas are so different a little instruction would have been good. I look to his management and the Tesla service center for that.
Everyone was very pleasant to deal. Wrecker showed up promptly and service was excellent.Definitely will use again if in the area and would recommend their servicePrice was as quoted upfront with no extra or hidden fees
Chad got right to the problem within minutes of arriving on the job. He knows what hes doing. Thanks Chad!
My dog locked me out of my semi truck. Chad at McGann & Chester came within the normal time frame and my door was open in less than 3 mins. Very speedy. Very friendly. I’ll definitely be recommending this company. Thank you!
