Lahti Towing in
Ironwood (MI)

These people couldn’t be nicer. The guys in the shop checked a transmission issue for me and were very helpful in my moment of need. While I was waiting I had a lovely conversation with Steve Lahti, employee and father of the original owner who sadly passed away quite young a few years ago. He told me stories about his son, who was clearly a great guy, and about his other kids too; and showed me photos of his grandkids and told me how they were doing. Steve left immediately when he got a call that someone needed help (either a tow or a jump start) at the Indianhead parking lot…that is to say, call them if you need towing! If they’re available, they don’t dillydally!

We are from out of state had a issue with our pickup. Jay came in on a Sunday and got us going! Couldn't be more greatful for the great friendly service!!!

Jay pulled me out of a ditch on Christmas Day and spent the extra time doing it right. No hesitation, friendly service. Top notch.

They were very busy when I came in this morning needing a winch to pull me out of a ditch. The wrecker dropped everything to get me back on the road. Very hospitable staff. 👍

My husband is working in the area and I needed to head back to Florida. Our turbo went out 3 days before I had to leave. They got us in and the part order extremely fast. The repair was done and completed just in time for me to leave. Would definitely recommend.

The guys came out and helped with our CT removal from the local hospital. They made sure it went smoothly and were incredibly helpful and pleasant. Would highly recommend, and would use again if I’m ever in Ironwood and needed services. Nailed it lads.

Helped us move a CT scanner on to a semi and didn't charge us. Great people to work with.

Had a problem with our car well on a road trip. Pulled in to Lahtis towing to see if it was just loose lugnuts. The guys here checked out our vehicle in no time! Took excellent care of us. So appreciate the great help for someone who just happened to stop in!

They are awesome, Steve has come to save me several times when I’ve locked myself out of my vehicle. They did a wonderful job taking care of our vehicles needs. I would recommend them for all your vehicle needs.

Jay was a life saver!! On New Year’s Day he tried to jump my car, left and came back to tow it to his shop. Diagnosed the problem and had it finished by 9 pm. I was able to enjoy the rest of my ski trip and then make it home. Thank you Lahti Towing.

Up from Texas and it was below zero temps. Diesel fuel gelled in my pick up and was stuck along the road. Called for towing and repair, the tow truck was there in 45 minutes. The truck was repaired and a day and we were back on the road thank you Jay for all your services.

It turns out that I have a similar story to many others that have received amazing service from Lahti Towing during a vehicle emergency. I got a flat and happened to pull over right in front of their shop. I limped my truck into their parking lot. They got me in immediately and I was on my way in 20 minutes and they charged me next to nothing. Thank you Lahti Towing! Another example of the generosity of the fine people from the UP. Btw-I never write reviews but I want them to know how much I appreciated their help.

Would like to give a shout out to Lahti !!! Very honest and trustworthy auto repair! We were camping 350 mi. From home 1st. day we developed a noise in the front left wheel . Thought our vacation would be ruined. Stopped in and they were a very busy place they said come back at 2:00 got us in and found a rock lodged in the break rotor area ! What a relief. Thank you so much for getting us in on no notice we really appreciate it. We went on to have a great week . Thanks again jeff&Alison Board

We were really in a jam, we were camping nearby, went into town to have dinner, and our tire went flat! Worse yet, I had no jack, nor spare for my car! Jason (actually Steve, sorry!) and Jesse were incredible! Steve towed us to the shop and let us ride with them, Jesse interrupted his dinner to repair our tire. If I lived here, I'd be a customer for life!

Jay is your guy if you need a tow. He got my 1 ton Chevy with truck camper on his rolloff safely and got me to a shop for repairs. Awesome job! Thank you!

One star is too many. This is the first time I’ve ever posted any review, positive or negative, for anyone. Total nightmare. Had my car towed to this place. I was told “this week will be tough, but probably early next week.” Two weeks went by. I had a spare car and thought ‘they’re probably busy and understaffed.” Another week went by and still nothing. I call and nobody answers. I call again a day later and someone says “we have you scheduled for Wednesday.” On Friday morning I get a call saying what part I need for my car. Then they say they can’t get me in for another two weeks. Just insanity. I told them I need a guarantee it will be done on the date they gave me, and he basically says “fine. Where do you want it towed.” I can’t imagine I’m the only one who’s had this problem with these people. I’m too nice of a person and customer and it takes so much to piss me off. I will never do business with these guys again.

Little late with this review but on Sunday morning (7/16/23) while towing a jeep coming from Montana we broke down east of town. Needed tow and after repairs to transmission and a/c were back on road Tuesday morning. Very helpful and nice people to work with. Greatly appreciated and thank you.

Broke down late Saturday afternoon with my truck (cv joint, ball bearings,etc…) wheel ready to come off. Jay open the shop for us and called a part store to open as well to get an axel. Two hours later, back on the road to continue our long distance trip. Saved our vacation! Great guy and great service. Thank you!

Very friendly, quick service, and reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend! We had our car towed (paid and organized through AAA), and Lahti fixed our flat tire (caught a nail) within ~10 min for $10.

We were stranded on ice and snow in the middle of the northwoods after dark. Our Lahti’s driver was so personable and reassuring. Though he had to travel quite a way to reach us, he kept us informed of his eta along the way and was so patient with us! As soon as he reached us he had us on the road within minutes. Great service, great rescuer! Forgot to get his name, but we are so thankful! Absolutely use their services!!!

Jay went above and beyond to try to help my family when we were on a road trip heading back home and had transmission troubles. He was the only guy within 100 miles willing to scan my vehicle to tell me what was wrong. Unfortunately our transmission needs to be replaced. But Jay came up with so many options trying to help us get our family of 8 home to Minnesota. A real genuine individual. His kindness was more than I could have ever expected. I would hands down recommend these guys to anyone.

Everything is a easy fix for these guys. They're very careful with my car. Price is super affordable. Friendly & treat you with so much respect. You can depend on them totally. Great job. Keep up the good work. 👍😁

Blew a tire on my '79 Bronco right on Highway 2, sixty miles from home. Steve was out within 15 minutes and was exceedingly helpful. Helped tow me back to Lahti's, where Ron gave me his full attention and equipped me quickly, fixing up my spare and getting me back on the road. All for a very reasonable fee. Please bring your business here and support these great guys.

I had to have my car pulled out of the ditch. The owner, Kevin was very helpful, nice and caring about my safety. They worked fast and had me out and on my way within minutes. Very nice people and great to deal with. Would 100% recommend.

I'd you need serious work done to your vehicle don't take it here. Using this business has been nothing but a headache. My wife's engine blew so aw had one ordered online and shipped here after they quoted us 600$ and a 3 day turn around time. It sounded to good to be true so we jumped on the opportunity. One month later and its still not finished, week after week the same response "it's on the schedule we will get to it next week" they dragged on the process and lied about why they couldn't get to it continuously. Now it's in the shop but still not completed when they said it would be and now they threw another 100$ on there quote saying it's now 700$. Terrible costumer service! The fact that they added another 100$ onto there quote was the cherry on top of my experience with lahti as a local resident I will never do business here again and will make sure I tell everyone I know about how bad my experience has been here.

Very helpful. They assisted us with our flat tire from the HUGE pot holes everywhere in Upper Michigan. We hit a rather large one heading to the porcupines and they were there in less than an hour. They did everything they could to help us and the service was phenomenal. (We bent the rim when we hit the pot hole and the nuts were stuck)

Steve and Jay at Lahti saved the day for me when my car broke down at the start of a long-distance drive home. I'm very grateful for their kindness, generosity, and great service. My car made it the 600 miles home with no more problems. Thank you again!
