I had a tire blow on a 0° day - with my toddler in the car. My stress level was through the roof. Mathers came out, put the spare on my car, and ordered a replacement within 30 minutes - and my new tire was put on 2 days later. Forever grateful for their speedy and helpful services! I'd give 10 stars if I could.
My son had a car accident on echo trail. Jake from Mather Recycling and Tony's Towing came out to get him. They pulled the car out from the ditch. He got my son cleaned up and checked out and stayed with him until I could drive up from the Twin Cities. It is an experience no parent wants, but Jake treated my son so well and made a tough situation better. He was a complete stranger but treated him with compassion.
My truck got stuck in the snow on a hill and needed to be winched out. They were friendly, had good communication, and came very quickly. Fair prices as well.
I was far from home and needed lockout service and it was Jake and Justin who came through for me. Jake answered my call right away and Justin delivered wonderful helpful service. Thank you so much, Jake! I was truly out of options!
I totaled my car way out on the Echo Trail. I had a car load. I had no idea how I was going to get me and all my belongings home. I had no idea where I was going to stay. I had no idea what I was going to do with my totaled car. Jake, reassured me all the way and made a terrible event much more bearable. Thanks Jake!
Jake is the nicest and the most friendliest guy. He helped me and my family out when we had vehicle issues and stranded on our vacation. I just wish there were more people like Jake in this world. Thank you Brother.
Thank you so much for rescuing me today. Couldn't have asked for more polite guys who came to tow me. They went above and beyond to get me where I needed to be. Thank you so much
Having a flat tire never happens at a good time, but getting one while miles from home on vacation, loaded down with camping equipment and four bicycles is among the worst!
Sending our very sincere thanks to Jake and his crew for helping us out with our unexpected flat and ensuing replacement of all four tires on Thursday June 23, 2022, on our all-wheel drive Subaru Forester.
We'd been staying at the lovely new camper cabins at LVSU State Park and dealing with tire replacement was not on our list of planned activities for the day, but these guys made it remarkably painless. Tony's had four tires in the size we needed, and agreed to fit us in the same afternoon within about an hour and a half of our original call to them, despite having a very full schedule already.
Could have been a lot worse. We got to hang out in Ely for a while (always a favorite destination) and I tried chicken & waffles at a local restaurant for the first time. Delicious! Who knew?
Tony's Towing modeled good old home-town helpfulness - their responsiveness and reasonable prices are also much appreciated!

I was working in ely from hibbing and got a rock in my wheel so it was spitting out air and they got me in at noon the same day. Super flexible and amazing. They repaired my tire of a rock and a nail i didn't know about.
Definitely would go back to them!
Jake did a fantastic job! Our truck got stuck and he pulled it out of a snow bank within minutes. He was courteous and came out so quickly. We really appreciated how efficient he was.
Good reliable Ely service company!!
Jake was terrific when my car gave up the ghost in -30 degree weather. Figured out the battery didn't have enough juice, he towed the car to his garage where it warmed up overnight and changed the battery the next morning. Got us on our way when we expected the car would take a few days to repair. Honest, efficient car towing and repair! Thank you!
My sister was stranded in the Ely area with her two kids. Jake went above and beyond to help them get everything situated. He went so far beyond being helpful and professional that I really don't have words for it. When I got up there to load up her car he helped us get everything loaded up and his expertise was incredibly valuable and feeling confident about our towing. Obviously, you hope not to have to use this kind of service, but I can say with complete confidence that Jake will take care of you.
The new owner Jake responded to our call immediately and his customer service was outstanding! Jake and his equipment did an excellent job! Fast and reliable!
My leased 2019 Subaru Impreza "died" suddenly on the way into town on a Saturday and spent a number of frustrating hours with a couple of roadside assistance services. The second one I contacted spent most of its time trying to arrange for one of their regular service providers to arrange a tow to the required Subaru dealer that was in Duluth (two hours away). None of those regular service providers were closer than an hour away. They were unable to get action from those providers and they finally called Tony's Towing since it was local and they wanted him to try jump-starting the vehicle. Jake arrived in less than 15 minutes after I was notified he was coming. He wasn't able to get it started and then towed my vehicle to my home (1 mile away). We arranged for a tow to Duluth on Monday when the Subaru dealer would be open and he arrived on Monday morning to do that. But he wanted to check a few things out with the car before winching it up onto the flatbed and was able to get it started. He then followed me to the nearest service station to make sure I made it there ok. And then he wouldn't accept any payment from me. I heartily recommend Tony's Towing if you are ever stuck on the road anywhere in the Ely area.
I wrecked my motorcycle on Saturday July 24th they came out and retrieved my bike and were very professional about it and 2 days
later we realized that my helmet was missing and Jake had one of his guys go back out to the crash site and look again for my helmet and low and behold they found it and shipped back to me !
I can't say enough good things about there service !!
If ever you find yourself in need of a tow I would recommend these guys every time
Thanks again Jake

Tony's Towing went above and beyond!! Would recommend them to anyone. My dad was in an accident. They took good care of his personal belongings. Went back out to the sight (30min away) and searched for his missing Hemet and sent in the mail to us. 100/10
The owner was very knowledgeable and was super careful with my car that had to be towed! I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area who is needing quick and courteous service!
I've had to call Tony's towing multiple times in the past when I had a flat tire on the side of the road. Each time, they've been prompt and helpful, offering to change the tire for me, or tow me to his shop to fix/plug/replace the tire(s). I was able to reimburse the towing through my insurance company as well. A+
