What clients say about Rip's Towing in Platteville (WI)
Arrived quickly, extremely helpful, great service, and fantastic attitude. You never hope to need a towing service twice, but if it ever came up he’d be my first call.
What was supposed to be a enjoyable holiday weekend at our lakehouse,wife, 7 yr old son and myself (2hrs from home)turned into a nightmare when my truck blew a power steering pump..after calling multiple towing companies and getting blown off or absolutely ridiculous rates,I came across Rips Towing..without any hesitation what so ever,Derrick had my truck loaded on his flatbed.Derrick had my truck fixed the next day,but he informed me of a major problem with the front end steering components, sent me a video and told me the truck was not safe to drive. Me being a mechanic years ago thought he was trying to upsell me ,but that was definitely not the case. My truck was not safe to drive. Derrick could of very well stopped what could of been and terrible accident with my family in truck. Derrick put everything on the back burner and i mean everything,worked crazy hours thru the holiday weekend and the next 4 days to get my truck fixed as soon as possible, knowing I needed to get back home. If there was higher than a 5 star rating I would go higher. Young kid really knows what he is talking about . I have had several other problems and will only take truck to Rips towing even though it is 2 hours from my house.When a great service is found now a days ,distance doesn't matter.

Passing through Platteville we had trouble with our truck dieing and called Rip's. The truck restarted and we didn't get a tow but Derrick was extremely friendly and helpful in getting us going. Love small town people. Would highly recommend this business.
I blew a tire on a busy bridge on ramp and began a frustrating experience with my insurance company's roadside assistance. After a few minutes, Derek from Rip's Towing stopped and asked if we could use some help. He quickly and expertly replaced the blown tire with our spare tire while ignoring the heavy traffic at his back. He then recommended a tire repair company that could get us back on the road that afternoon. Derek called them himself to make sure they were open and had the right tire for us, and then he even used his truck to clear the way for us to get into the traffic and on our way. Derek and Rip's Towing really made our day!
My mother's SUV was dead in her garage, my father passed away 2 years ago. I was lost what to do as I've never did car repairs. I contacted them as it was recommended to me, I myself live in Illinois so I had no idea who could help. I knew it was a battery but that was it. I called Derek was the one who said he could help, sent the VIN number and the address about an hour later he showed up with battery and replaced it, took old one, reset computer. Was kind about everything, especially my 83 year old mom. I'd recommend them to everyone. Price wasn't bad as he brought the battery and replaced it. Well worth the money to not have to worry about mom.
We are from Appleton and my wife's van broke down in Platteville. Being 2 and a half hours away I didn't know what to do. I called Rips and talked to Derrick and he was AMAZING! Would highly recommend Rips to anyone!
I would recommend this place to anyone anytime anywhere not only were they courteous the driver of the tow truck took me over to Walmart because they weren't allowed to have more than one person on the truck call him and my husband took our vehicle to our house and he was so nice he maneuvered our vehicle into our garage for us and to top everything off they are extremely affordable I greatly appreciate the kindness that was shown to my husband and I during that time
Christmas Eve Catastrophe
I was rolling in my rusty, trusty man-van when all of a sudden I heard, "Crack, skrrrrrt!" as the van skidded to a stop near a busy intersection.
A friend called Rip's and faster than you can say, "Oh no, I have a busted minivan!" A truck came, picked up my busted ride from out of the street, and hauled it to a nearby shop.
Fast friendly and efficient, Rip's got me up and out of that jam on a holiday & the price was very reasonable. 5 of 5 stars highly recommend.
My daughter's car broke down a few days before Xmas and rips towing was great went and picked up towed to dubuque at great price! 👍 I highly recommend rips nk beating around or putting it on hold went right away everyone else was either to busy or outrageously priced. So thank for helping her out Rips 🙏
If I could give more than five star I would give them 10! Derrick was heaven sent he took extra steps and cheap prices to make sure my jeep made it back to Minnesota and he was so professional and realistic and helpful I can not say enough great things about the service so thank you and yes highly recommend
