Maynard's Towing in
Columbus Grove (OH)

The driver, Tony, was extremely rude and unprofessional. I wanted to drive my vehicle home, but he began yelling at me and my grandmother. He refused to provide a clear price for leaving the car, only saying it would cost “a couple hundred dollars.” I had to call his company directly just to get an answer. He parked his tow truck in front of my vehicle and insisted that it had to be towed to his lot, or I would need to pay $155 for him to leave. I ended up paying to avoid further conflict, as he seemed angry and I felt intimidated by his behavior.

If I could give a 0 I would the driver Tony was very rude as HE deemed my car total because the bumper came off parked his tow truck in front of my vehicle as he demanded he had to tow to his lot or I could pay $155 for him to leave and not tow the car so I paid the $155 to avoid any conflict cause he seemed very upset and I felt bullied

Awful drivers! Driving 80mph plus on 270 and then pulling inches away from vehicles at traffic lights. 8.20.25

Other then it being expensive it was okay the lady name Cheryl was nice and understanding other it being 280 for only one night it wasn’t bad I called a couple times and they were nice and talked to through what I needed to do

We had our new car towed back to the dealership from our house, because the day we purchased it, it started having an oil issue. Maynard towing picked up the car within a very short period of time (less than an hour) and we had a driver named Jamie; he was friendly and very helpful.

Thank you for showing courtesy and patience. Waited for me to turn the corner to take pictures of a vehicle and step inside to see if the owner was available to look at aRV and they swiped my car, car running my purse, money, dental equipment, everything sitting in my car but more than that the business that called them is shady but you know, I guess we all have to stay in business so there it is you go look at some shit in the hood they have to get you. They can’t wait to tow your car and especially if it’s easy this is easy money for them $185..10 minutes and a 30 second Dr. so it created a win-win the circle of life thank you.

I had a rather pleasant experience with them, they told me the price I agreed and when the guy showed up he said the same price, knew exactly what he was doing and got the 49 mile trip done very smoothly.

They gave us 3 different prices 643.00 on a Friday 443.00 on Sunday when we called that day and then 543.00 on Sunday when a guy came and opened up. They said the would be opened on noon. We feel we may have been scammed they had it 5days and charged us 543.00. They said we could not pick it up the day before a Saturday but could get it Monday then they sad Sunday which the day we finally got it. I feel they may be crooks that may be over charging. Terrible people.

For a block away 118 and some change to top it off … a block and there’s reasons why I can’t push it the block so yeajh basically 1 m of driving not even 2 literally 0.3 and that’s from inside ther place once u get to the street in car literally a minute is exaggerating / and there company is 0.2 miles away the closes place humanly possible I called

Major attitude problem with these people. Absolutely wild operation they are running. There is zero reason to be that rude. You have my vehicle but nobody to monitor it or release it to me? That's absurd!! The gate is wide open for anyone to do anything to the vehicles as well. Have the day you all deserve.

We got stuck behind one of these trucks driving north on route 61 through Morrow county and Crawford county until I was able to get around and break off. The man driving was left of center half of the time. His speeds were constantly up and down, all while holding the phone in his right hand...for miles!

They love driving slowly in the left lane. In response to the owner...you're comment exemplifies the arrogance (or ignorance) of driving in the left lane for miles upon miles on a completely open highway with no obstacles or obstructions other than your vehicle blocking the flow of traffic.

It's too bad I can't give less than one star. It really takes a special type of person to achieve the level of heartlessness at Maynard's. These people ruined my life. My car was impounded here while I was living out of it. They took everything I owned when I was at the lowest point in my life after having lost the love of my life with my fiancé's passing. They stole the sentimental things pertaining to him that I cherished and kept closest to me at all times. They stole my mother's ring. They stole my laptop. They stole my clothes and toiletries. They stole my Xbox 360. They stole my original birth certificate and original social security card. They stole my own personal artworks. They stole my car. They stole my money. These people are sickeningly vile, mean-spirited and depraved. The way in which they failed to emulate even a minuscule of compassion toward someone struggling and pleading to be allowed to have their belongings - the last semblances of their late fiancé - demonstrates the cruel and apathetic demeanor of these people. You know who you are. You know what you've done. You and I both know I'm not the only one. I've heard my story reprised again and again, echoed in the experiences of others who were taken advantage of by Maynard's as well. This is a business run by people who revel in their ability to make other's lives harder.

Had an incident with them where I called to pay for a tow and they told me I called back 10 minutes too late, so they went to a private business without permission, picked up the car, and impounded it. Very difficult people to deal with. Avoid this place. All the other reviews are by friends.

We needed a tow and didn't know what to expect but it was an extremely easy pleasant process! The gentleman that answered the phone was great, he gave an estimate of an hour and said the driver would give us a call when he was on the way. The driver called earlier than expected and he was a nice guy. He drove the car up onto the tow truck and dropped it off at the dealership. He even walked in to give us the keys even though we were on our way out to him the moment we saw him. It was way easier than I ever imagined getting a tow would be. I highly recommend Maynard's.

Best towing experience I have had. From the initial call in to1 hour later waving at my vehicle departing, all went perfectly. Kevin was very careful and professional. This is a wheelchair accessible van, so it requires a little extra to get things done right. I will definitely use them again when needed. The price was what I expected.

Had a great experience with the driver. Wish I had gotten his name. Wife's car need towed to the dealership. He loaded the car quickly and efficiently. He then took the time to talk to me socially about everything and nothing. I got a firm handshake and he was on his way. That's good customer service!

If you value your respect do not come here. Very rude and will hang the phone on you and hold your car hostage. Most likely for insurance scams to get more storage fees. And you won’t get your stuff till insurance picks up the car. Refuse if you get an accident call literally anyone else.

The office manager is so nice and helpful. The owner .. I believe he said his name is Scott, is super hardworking and got my car out of the middle of the highway in less than 5 min. I was so appreciative because it was blocking the whole road and holding up traffic. All the other companies I called said they wouldn’t be available until the next morning. Could not recommend Maynard’s enough!

***updating my review to 1 star due to the condescending response from the owner blaming me for the delay. Copart has been trying to "bring in the proper documentation" for two weeks, but you keep blowing them off!" Please figure it out...*** Quick to tow vehicle to their lot in order to charge insurance company by the day, but slow to give up car to insurance adjuster. Trying for two weeks so far to get them to give up the car. Scam?!?!

Went to drive my car and it wouldn't start. Tansky Toyota recommended Maynard's Towing. Called and was told they'd be out in an hour. It was about that or slightly less. AJ was the tow driver. He was friendly, understood my Prius, and asked me if I wanted a tow or just a jump. He had to jump start it anyway to get it on his flatbed so he said he would charge me for either the jump or for the tow, whichever I wanted. It started right up from the jump, and we let it run a bit to see if it would die. It didn't and I opted for just the jump. He had to get out of my driveway, so he said he'd wait till i got it on the street, if it needed another charge or tow, he would be there. It didn't and I was able to drive it to Tansky. I highly recommend AJ and Maynard's Towing.

I have used Maynard's twice in the last 2 months to tow my classic car to a local service station and back. They were on time, called to let me know when the car was in process of being picked up and when to expect it at my home and the driver was excellent. He even helped me push the car up a slope into the garage which took us about 10 minutes and a LOT of effort. Above and beyond service as far as I am concerned and the also the cheapest price I was able to get for a local tow. I will definitely use them again!

Friend of mines car wasnt hooked to frame the driver who complained about his job while hooking up car to bumper not frame dropped the car on to another at Lind automotive. They then claimed it was his fault not their's. They have refused to give insurance info to him. He had to get attorney general involved. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Let me start by saying that this is the first time in my life that I have written a review because I got horrible customer service. I try my very best to say something positive or nothing at all. However, if I could give this company zero stars, I would. My partner was in an accident on Saturday on his way home from work- stressful enough but that's okay. Accidents happen. I have spoken to 3 different people at the tow lot. All of them were extremely rude..one of which refused to give me information because they were "closing soon" on Saturday and I had to wait until Monday to get any answers. Worst customer service I have ever recieved.

A lady named "Michael" is the customer service representative in the office calling in. She is VERY rigid, rude and lacks professionalism. She gave terrible pricing for a tow quote for driving less than 2.5 miles to destination (from point A to point B). She continued to argue with me and was in no way, shape or form interested in providing service that was respectfully priced, empathetic to the needs of the customer and treated everything like "whatever, you can just call back later when my boss is in, whatever!" She spent all her time discussing the breakdown of company expenses instead of focusing on the immediate need of her customer! Even making bad jokes about "How about for $55 bucks I will bring rundown jeep to tow you to your destination". All I was looking for was a fair price and something called HUMILITY! Oh well; I gave my money to another towing company near by who offered $50 but I gave him $60 for doing everything right with me, the customer! Mer-Noo company does not deserve a spot on Google Map! (at this time).

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY... They would not let me get stereo equipment or anything out of car. Then days later it was stolen so they say from thier not so secured lot, the large rude woman at desk was repulsive as a person. Towing and storage prices are high. They have a nice scam going on at this place, hold your car hostage and steal your stuff while waiting for insurace to decide what to do with your car. They wont let you remove items from car while on thier lot. I am sure this is not the first time they have screwed someone over, they seem to have thier bases covered so BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY THEY ARE THIIEVES. Would give zero stars if possible

A twenty minute wait after being told by my auto club it would be a couple hours. I called a shop(Bernie's on Como) and they recommended Maynard's. I knew what the price would be, so no surprises there. The driver.... This guy was awesome. Probably one of the rudest s.o.b.'s out there to anyone except his customer and boss. He was nice to me, and not in a hurry to shove me off. He loaded my car(my 94 Buick Roadmaster LandYacht) and took it to the shop. No trouble. He even put it on the shop's bill so I didn't have to pay him immediately. Just so everyone knows, It is commonplace to tip these guys. I threw him a Shell card as a thank you.
