Skokie Automotive

The most unkind and ignorant towing service I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I say that knowing there are good towing services out there. I hope for anyone’s sake they’re never in an accident in Niles, IL. The cop’s are in cahoots with the guys and they get the tow business when a vehicle involved in an accident is not drivable. After establishing that they would not be the shop to perform repairs they wouldn’t let me pay to release my car for the towing company that was on the way so I could get to work. The owner was a jerk about the matter saying «There’s no prepayment. I don’t go to Jewel and give em’ 100 bucks and say I’ll be back later for the groceries». Just cause this guy was stuck there, I had to be stuck there it seemed. Being self-​employed I was shocked at the way he treated people that just wanted to give them their money to be rid of him and his shop. If the expression is «like ripping off a bandaid «this experience with this shop was chopping off the arm to stop a paper cut from bleeding. Total disregard for me and the fact that they had my vehicle in their possession. I had no choice but to deal with these people. I hope if you’re in position to choose for your sake, you choose someone else.
