The service was excellentAbsolute professionals.But more importantly in my opinion their are some of the kindest and most helpful people one would ever want to do buisness with.I recommend them highly. The drivers are some of the best people around good to have you here in Rochester.

I am very disappointed because in January I had my vehicle serviced, and was told my battery needs to be replaced for over $300.00. My sweet husband decided he would replace it for me to save money. He brought it to the battery center and was told there is nothing wrong with my battery. I had it in to Virgils the other day and asked them to test the battery. The battery came back as great (87%). They cannot explain why they were ready to charge us over $300.00 for a perfectly good battery. There was never even an apology, just that the tech who gave the original report is no longer there. I am very hesitant to visit again. The service manager called me Friday night to say he was disappointed in the way the manager treated me. He asked me if I would consider taking down this review and give them a positive rating. At least they acknowledged that I was treated poorly. They still cannot explain why they told me they were ready to charge me over $300.00 for a perfectly good battery they said needed replacing. Its unfortunate.

Dustin was so great! He came 15 minutes after we called and loaded up our car very carefully. He was friendly and we enjoyed talking to him on the ride back to our house. He even unloaded the car off the tow truck directly into our garage for us! Would definitely recommend Virgil’s for towing - we felt truly cared for.

Took car in for steering rack replacement. Steering pump had been replaced and system refilled/burped of any air. System would work fine for short time but fluid level would drop and system would start to fail again until refilled. Advised staff of this and that it was down to being a steering rack issue or line leaking at rack.Car was fixed and given back to me. Staff advised fluid level was low and just needed to be topped off. Staff did not listen when I had told them the work already done and possible diagnosis. Was charged almost $100 for this.I was able to ultimately replace the steering rack and lines myself which solved the issue... Leak was found at steering rack.Disappointed in their disregarding a customers information and amount of money charged to add fluid to vehicle.

After rushing off to work in a hurry without warming up the Jeep my fiancée let me drive, I broke down on the side of the road and needed a tow. It was about °10 Fahrenheit and felt like -°10 and I was not properly dressed for this cold weather. I called AAA and they sent Brian from Virgils towing. He arrived within 15 minutes of the service call and seemed very pleasant. I use AAA because I would be unable to pay the standard cost of a tow at any given time. However, I realize tow truck drivers rely on tips, much like waitstaff do. I was more than pleased with the services I was provided from Virgils and Brian. Therefore, I tipped him accordingly. Thank you to Virgils for accepting AAA. It is a blessing for those of us who are financially disabled.

7/20/2020 Update - Still havent heard from Virgils. Took my truck into another shop today and they confirmed the alignment was off and not done correctly. They also notified me that Virgils must have hit my CV boot when installing the leveling kit and damaged my CV boot causing grease to leak all over. Now I need several hundred dollars more in repairs. The truck has been sitting since Virgils dropped it off and the CV boot was not damaged when it was dropped off at Virgils, I can personally confirm this.Called last week to inquire about them putting a level kit on my truck. Ive done the job start to finish before in around 2 hours with hand tools and a coil compressor. They quoted me $150-200 for this along with an alignment AFTER this was done for an additional $99. I spoke with them the morning after I dropped my truck off at 11:30 am and according to them, they hadnt started the level process. At 2:19 pm, I received a text saying my truck was done. The total bill was over $800 (oil change we asked for and a broken sway bar link they found also repaired). After arguing with them, we paid the bill over the phone just to get our truck back. The time stamp on the completed alignment was 12:28 pm. So it was done BEFORE the level kit despite us asking it to be done after. Now my truck pulls to the left when driving. ALSO, what was supposed to be about a 2 hour job, was written down as a 3.7 hour job so instead of $200, it was $444 in labor! How can you talk to us and tell us it is not done and then LESS than 3 hours later say it is done but that it was NEARLY 4 hours of labor? Your math doesnt add up! Thanks for overcharging us. Will be glad to alert others not to do business at a place that steals money from customers. When I tried to call this afternoon I got hung up on first, then they promised someone would call back but never did, now they dont answer when I call.

We went in asking for an oil change and a new battery. They upsold a “BG Package” for “about the same price” but it ended up costing $566 after taxes, fees, labor costs, and supplies.

Thank you to Sham who came very promptly to assess our situation. Our battery was dead. He advised us that he could replace our battery with a battery that had a six year warranty. We were delighted to learn Sham could replace our battery on the spot. We would certainly recommend AAA and Virgil’s service! Sham installed a new battery and had us on our way in record time.

Royal was the guy assigned to me and boy did he do a great job. He showed up quickly, and was both courteous and extremely helpful. I have an old beater of a car, and because of that the door wouldnt unlock right away and the hood wouldnt pop. Despite all the extra challenges and difficulties Royal went above and beyond and did an amazing job!

Dont use Triple AAA if they send out Virgils. Virgils Towing will refuse the Triple AAA call or make you wait hours to pick up your vehicle. My vehicle overheated at work in Rochester, MN and was not safe to drive. I called Triple AAA and requested a tow to my hometown in Austin, MN. I was told Virgils would be at my location in 25 minutes ( a reasonable ETA). Minutes later, I received a call from Triple AAA telling me that Virgils wanted to wait till tomorrow to tow my car because apparently the roads were covered in ice. I had already informed Triple AAA that if my car didnt get towed, I would be stuck at my location and I could not wait to have it towed. So knowing Virgils wasnt going to secure my vehicle, I instead called a towing service well-known to me in my hometown of Austin, MN - S & S Towing. They were more than happy to send a driver out to me (40+ miles away) with the snow storm and icy roads.Virgils did call me and discuss this matter so I did change my review from 1 star to 3 stars. Hopefully the situation with Triple AAA is resolved.

F250 Super Duty died and needed a jump. This team is top notch. 1st crew got there quick, needed reinforcements, and backup help was there even quicker. Office staff is awesome, supportive, and great communication from everyone. Had to use another time a while ago and they were great that time, too. Absolutely recommended!

I locked myself no out of my car! I called AAA Roadside Service and Virgils was the closest and most available company they could send out... Not only did Virgils respond but they got to me quickly with awesome communication via text, letting me know they were sending Mike out right away! It was reassuring to have them immediately respond . Mike was the Virgils man to show up. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and quick to get my car unlocked! Wahoo! I am new to the Rochester area and I know I will call Virgils if I am in need of their type of services, again!

My dad, who isnt a car enthusiast brought in a family car for an oil change and what he described as a serpentine belt (sound over the phone). Turned out to be a leaking power steering line. Thanks for being truthful and not repairing what didnt needed to be fixed. A+ for honest and fair work, thanks guys!

Kept my car all day for oil change and check engine light on. Did oil change the night before as I had dropped it off the night before my appointment. Had 8:00 appointment had it all day hadn’t looked into the check engine light. 8 hrs they had that car. Apparently they don’t know what an appointment is. It sure isn’t anything like the old Virgils. I guess those days are gone. I won’t go back.

About a week ago my battery died and I called AAA, who sent Virgils to the rescue. Rey M. was polite and friendly and arrived earlier than AAA estimated, which was great! He was able to give me some insight into what caused the battery to die, and was overall very helpful. He provided a business card that had a review website but the web address doesnt seem to work, so I figured Id leave a google review instead. Thanks Rey @ Virgils!

They had a lot of runs but kept me abreast of when I could expect the tow truck. My vehicle did not start at home and had no place to be so I was fine with that. Tony (towman) introduced himself and chatted about the cause (wasnt battery) and then got to work getting it on the flatbed. Very pleased.

I locked my keys in my car on a Sunday morning. I called AAA and Virgils was dispatched. They were out within 30 minutes of the initial call and in fact the driver was there even before the time estimate. Terry was super nice, professional and got my door opened in under 5 minutes. He even helped me when the alarm wouldn’t shut off right away. I highly recommend Virgil’s. Thanks so much!!

My tire blew out in the highway and I had to leave my car at a random gas station. I called Virgil’s from work and they were so kind and helpful. They went to pick up my car and had it fixed very quickly and for a good price. I really appreciate having a business like this around when there are car issues... it’s like being able to call your dad :)

We all know how Minnesota winters are...and of course both of our vehicles batteries were frozen after one night. AAA sent Virgils (we never got the techs name-but he was amazing) to us to lend a helping hand. He was able to jump both of our vehicles, with some difficulty, due to the cold and give us some advice. Thank you so much!

I was connected with Virgil’s through AAA. The tech arrived very promptly and was exceptionally courteous and friendly. He was able to quickly assess the issue my car was having and jumped the battery with little effort. Furthermore - when I asked if he could replace the battery in the moment instead of me waiting a few days to take it in somewhere, he again took care of things efficiently and politely. I would absolutely go to Virgil’s for more routine needs in addition to more emergent issues.

We bought an RV from a town near Rochester and broke down before we got to the highway. They tried helping us out on the spot. Like, really tried to get us up and running! But after a lot of hardwork we needed a tow. They tried getting us out the next day. Which we absolutely appreciated! But she ended up needing more work.our mechanic, Tim, was amazing to work with! Our RV is now running great and its all thanks to Tim and the crew at virgils for the amazing work and great service! I highly recommend them!!

They were amazing from the beginning.. My son was in the ICU for a week in Rochester on the way the home to the twin cities in the middle snow storm 2 of the posts n lug nuts busted. After a little confusion they got my truck fixed. I was unable to come back down to get my truck. Thank goodness for AAA. But Anthony the tow truck driver was absolutely wonderful he is hands down a peach.. Thank you everyone who dealt with me...

Review №35

Staff from Virgils are always friendly & communicate well about expectations, time to arrive, etc.March 2021 UPDATE: Virgils lost the contract with AAA, but since I had them replace my battery through the AAA program in October 2020, I had to go with them when my car wouldnt start (just 3 months after installing new battery). Since it had been jumped, the car kept passing the battery check, so I left it overnight, knowing it wouldnt start in the morning - then it shouldve been a warranty replacement. I unfortunately had to call them (they shouldve called me when it was ready) to see what happened. They apparently had to run a draw test / diagnostics -- to determine (shocker) the battery was bad & they had to replace it. No mention of cost on this call. I get there & they ask me for the ~$120 balance... my jaw drops & I say really ? they drop it down to ~$70 since it didnt take a full hour... Then i ask for the full diagnostic report (since I had to pay for it) - and the list says theres fluids leaking... but no notes -- so I ask for more detail. The tech is out for the day, theyll need to call me. NOTHING.Feels like all they wanted to do was upcharge / cover their end of the cost of a lemon of a battery.I will NOT take any vehicles here if I have a choice -- couldve spent about the same to replace the battery anywhere else.

Allan was the most professional and efficient service provider Ive ever used. I presented him a unique situation and he evaluated it and came up with a plan immediately and went right to work. He got the car loaded super quickly with care and after working with him I realized all the other people Ive used in the past were amateurs. Allans experience really showed in the way he works. This is the only company I will use in the future.

Brian was very helpful, professional and friendly. We had him do 2 tows so I’m leaving 2 different reviews!

We are so happy to have AAA since 1978 for this reason!

Brian, saw my van in the median ditch and stopped to check on my situation while he was in route to another call. I told him Triple A had dispatched a different towing service and I was waiting. He couldn’t help me as we needed to wait for the highway patrol to stop traffic. He parked on the shoulder with his lights flashing waiting with me for the help I called to arrive to make sure I was alright before going on. Eventually, the HP showed up, and right as the patrolman knocked on my window, I received a call from Triple A that the service that was supposed to come had canceled, at which point I told the operator that a Virgil’s truck was already here and I asked her to call Virgil’s, so Brian could help me. Apparently that worked. HP diverted traffic and Brian got me out no problem. Thank you, Brian!!

My car battery died while out shopping today, so I called AAA. They assigned me to Virgils. I got a call within 6 minutes of submitting my request on the AAA app. A friendly rep confirmed my location, and advised that a driver would there in 5-10 mins. My driver was Jordan. He was professional, friendly and informative. I ultimately elected to purchase a new battery on the spot. He installed it, and I was on my way.

Virgils Auto was the fastest response we have ever experienced with AAA. Jody came and went way beyond the call of duty. He even got under our SUV to try to repair it so we did not have to have a tow. Unfortunately, we needed a tow, and Edward, again, was like Jody, friendly, efficient and fast. We had just had a long day at the Mayo clinic and the mechanics were able to repair our car late afternoon so we did not have to stay in a hotel. The Lobby staff were friendly and accommodating. If we lived near Rochester, we would absolutely be one of Virgils best customers. Thanks to all of you and it started with Jody. Really appreciate all of you! Thanks again! buzz and debbie

Yesterday I was involved in an accedent, and needed a tow.My insurance companey called virgils and were told that a truck would be at my location in 45 minutes. After an hour and a half of no truck, and no call from Virgils, my company called them back and were told that the driver got tied up with another call, but would be at my location in twenty minutes. After another hour with no truck or call from virgils, we called again. We were told that they had been in a meeting, but could be there in 30 minutes. After two and one half hours of no truck, no calls of explination or regreat and a bunch of asinine excuses, I had no reason to belive that they would show up in 30 min. so we cancled the call. We called another tow company who arrived, on time, after 50 min. The promise of a 45 min. responce turned in to 3 and one half hours before I could get a tow truck. My entire day had been wasted due to the totaly unprofessional services of virgils auto clinic and towing. At 6:30pm I was at home when I recived a phone call from a virgils driver asking if I still needed a tow. I said that we had called at 11:30am and he replied that he had just gotten the paper work. It was a good thing that I had not been stuck out on the freeway for 7 hours. Needless to say, I would not recomend virgils auto clinic & towing!

I have been going to Virgils in Rochester for about a year and a half. I have always appreciated their professionalism and honesty. I am an essential worker, but I am also a procrastinator. So my oil change was overdue, and I still needed my car to get to and from work. I wasnt even sure if I could get an oil change with the stay and home order in effect. They were able to pick my car up and drop it back off for me so I did not have to make any extra stops or clog up a waiting room. These people understand service, and go the extra mile for their customers. if youre looking for somewhere to take you car, stop researching and just go to Virgils.

I called AAA for a jump start. It sent a truck from Virgils. The truck came promptly. I received a text that allowed me to click on a map to see where the truck was so I could prepare for its arrival. Jody, the driver, was efficient, competent, friendly, and effective. He put a little power through the battery that made clear the battery ran down because a dome light had been left on. He then jumped the battery and tested it. He gave advice on charging it and told me how long I should drive now to make sure the car would start again before it was recharged. He then made sure I was able to get out of my driveway before leaving.

I made my original call at 5:30 pm. I was told they would be there by 6:04. At 6:20 I received a call that they had went on another call and it would be 30 minutes more. So I waited. At 7:10 I called back and they seemed like they were confused on who I was. Then she suddenly remembered and said he was just finishing up the other call and would be on the way. At 8 pm I called again and they said he was on his way. I got a notification that my service call had just been accepted. So as I’m tracking the driver on my phone I realize he is going in the complete opposite direction from me. So I sent a text that he was going the wrong way. Finally they got him straightened out and he arrived at 8:30pm. The rest of the call was fine after that.

I was so impressed with the tow services I received! Brandon C. was my driver, and he was so helpful and kind while walking me through my options and arranging the best place for my car to go. He was very professional and went out of his way to help me every step of the way. Thank you!

Holy Moses!!! What AMAZING service!!! Ben and Leigha were both so professional, patient, understanding, and compassionate towards my situation. I was more than impressed with their service. Ben fully explained every step to me so I knew what to expect, and Leigha was ready and willing to jump into action.Ive had help before in similar situations, but these two really were awesome. Leigha even helped me get my car into my garage by pushing it up my slippery, snow covered driveway - AND I DIDNT EVEN ASK HER TO HELP!!! She was aware enough, and just willing to go above and beyond, to see that I was taken care of all the way through.I cant thank you guys enough, and I hope you both the best, and to please stay safe out there this winter.

I appreciate their customer service sooo much! I was traveling with my daughter to Wisconsin on a two lane road and ran over a blown tire in the road. It tore the cover under my car and these great guys helped me with no hesitation! And got me back on the road ASAP Thank you so much!

This morning going to work, I noticed I had a dead front drivers side light bulb. I called from work, and they were able to schedule a time, for when I got off work. They were running on time. The waiting area is nice, but I choose to take the walk to Flapdoodles for Ice Cream. I talked to the front person checking in customers, and the mechanic. Both were really nice and friendly. Great service and fast!! I will be going back.

Derrick was very friendly and professional and did a diagnostics on my battery and alternator and determined I needed a new battery. He had a battery for my car and got everything all switched out and things in working order fast! I am so thankful for his expertise and getting me back on the road fast! He did any excellent job!

Justin made sure my car was properly taken care of. My car is lower and he took the time to make sure it got on the truck safely.

I have had to use many tow companies threw out car troubles,But this was my first with Virgils and I will feel no need to call any other towing company again.My driver Anthony was extremely polite and went out of his way to make sure I was taken care of to the max, just a uplifting great attitude kinda guy. In not the best situation it turned out to be a great one.

The Bad Part: I was quoted a price for a battery replacement. I agreed to have the work done. After the work was complete, I was then told that the price quoted to me was accidentally incorrect, and they needed to charge an extra $17. Thats a bad way to do business and questionable ethics. The Good Part: The battery replacement was done well, and quickly, and the person who worked on the battery was very friendly.
