Do yourself a favor and call Paul Tureck.....I don't know what's going on with Burns in the last few weeks but they used to be my go to for scrap vehicles ect. In the last 12 days I contacted them on two Separate vehicles for pick up. Said yep. Said hed call back. If not later. Tomorrow.....I get that they are busy and what not but why tell a guy on 5 separate occasions they will be down to pick up the vehicle and then never call you back or anything and never did come either of them ....just say you can't do it and I'll go else where ...needing these vehicles gone. All 5 times I called them ....all 5 times they said yep we'll be down .......and not even one call back. Maybe it's a personal thing lol. No idea. But definitely irritated with them right now. Tureks busy and he will tell you it might be a day or two. But always calls back and makes sure he doesn't leave you hanging. Guess I'll just wait an extra day or two ..because this was my last call to Burns for anything.
Broke down, needed towing, came and got us super fast. Not from the area so dropped us off at a hotel he knew had food and entertainment around it. The kindest, most efficient and wonderful man possible. Highly recommend!
After blowing my radiator hose the day before thanksgiving and being essentially abandoned by my insurance company, Burns was able to tow my car and even got up early Thanksgiving morning to fix it. Thanks to Burns, I was able to get to my family's Thanksgiving celebration on time. I really appreciate the work he did to get me back up and running.
In the most literal and serious of ways, I owe Burns Auto Salvage and Towing my life. When my car exploded in the middle-of-nowhere Michigan, and I was freezing and starving to death, AAA took my money and told me to kick rocks. I contacted Burns, and was immediately greeted with a friendly voice who offered solutions to problems and promised to be there "soon". How soon that was, I couldn't have fathomed. It seemed as if I hadn't even gotten off the phone before George was showing up at my car to tow it. He gave me, my roommate, and my dog a ride to a local hotel, and then someone ELSE from his company went out of their way to take us nearly 50 miles to a UHaul so I could grab my items from my now-dead car, and make it back home, nearly 600 miles away. The value and peace of mind Burns provided is not something I will easily forget, and I can never thank George and his wife enough.
Fast, quality service at a fair price. After waiting over 4 hours for AAA to send somebody for a tow, I gave up and looked locally for a towing company in Manistique. MI, found Burns Auto Salvage and Towing. George was there in less than 20 minutes, loaded me up and towed be to the designated location without an issue.
If you need towing or repair services in the Manistique or surrounding area, Burn's should be your first call. Highly recommend!
The transfer case went out on my Suburban while towing our camper on vacation. Burns picked up my truck for service and brought another truck out to haul our camper to our campground so we didn’t miss out on our week long vacation. They fixed our truck quickly after we located the new part. Great service, great prices and great people.
George Burns went above and beyond at every single step of the recovery process and afterwards as well. Thank you so much, Burns Towing! One of the best companies I have ever had interactions with.
We were traveling from Wisconsin and blew an oil hose. We lost all our oil. Burns came and towed us back to Manistique. The driver was friendly and professional.
My vehicle went down on me Father’s Day weekend in Munising leaving me stranded Burn’s was able to provide a tow as well as take me to a hotel in which they got me a great rate they also have been great which storing my vehicle as it has been extremely expensive to bring it back over the bridge and equally as expensive for me to ship my new transmission to them for repairs they have been extremely professional as well as kind I am extremely grateful for them and would highly recommend them
Very fast, very friendly, very affordable. Mr. Burns is the epitome of going above the call and caring about the people and community he serves over making a dollar. Breaking down is never fun, but he made the entire thing so much better. Thank you!!
Our family van broke down while traveling back home from out of state on the side of the highway in the FREEZING cold. This AMAZING man came right away, jumped us, followed us, jumped us again, and made sure we made it safe to the closest hotel. This man is truly a life saver, blessing, and just all around AMAZING. Thank you from our 5 kids, husband, and I….
Needed a tow after an accident and Burns arrived and loaded my truck to take to the Dealer. But while enroute to the destination, the driver was dispatched on another call the opposite direction. So in mid-tow, my disabled truck was dropped off in a bar parking lot so that they could pick up another vehicle to take to their yard. In the meantime, I have no ride, no way to get anywhere, and I'm at the mercy of Burns Towing running other dispatches. Ultimately, I had to make numerous calls to arrange for a ride to make it to a rental place.... all while an hour FURTHER away than the original accident scene. I strongly DO NOT recommend this company if you are in need of a tow. Short staffed or not, you're supposed to service the customer that you had their vehicle ON YOUR TRUCK first.
My strut uncoiled and slashed my tire at 2am on the side of US 2 and of course one of my tools broke while trying to get my slashed tire off.. George came out at 2am, with the right tool we needed, got my tire off, and my donut on super quick. We would have been stranded all night since he was THE ONLY person that picked up the phone and actually helped. I recommend Burns for any roadside assistance or towing if your in the Manistique or Escanabaish area.
Got stuck in a snowy ditch while out doing field work for my job and called Burns for a tow. They arrived within 10 minutes and quickly pulled my truck out so I could go about my day. Fast and friendly service.
We were on vacation stranded on the side of the highway; George graciously picked us up and dropped us off at a nearby hotel and helped us out immensely by getting our car running again so we could continue with our vacation. Great service and very friendly!!!
5 hours from home my car decided to blow the oil cap off, called him bright and early in the morning and he was so quick to drive out find a cap and put in on my car! Very helpful and a life saver!
My sister and I broke down on us 2 just outside manistique around 9:30 pm. Burns towed us to his shop near by and swapped the alternator in a very timely fashion. We were back on the road within an hour and we made it the 300 miles to home. Very great prices, quality work, and friendly people!
