Luckily, roadside was there within 30/40 mins may have been shorter! Changed my tire within 5-10 mins!! Definitely recommend.”

I tried going through my insurance that wanted to charge me $140 for a 2.5 mile drive. I waited for an hour and a half and my insurance STILL hadn't found someone to come pick up my vehicle. I'm not saying that someone wasn't on the way, they hadn't even found someone to take the tow. I kept calling them and they said they were working on it. Eventually I took it upon myself and started calling around. I called a few other places that didn't answer before I called Iowa First Call Towing. It was $91 AND they got there in less than 20 minutes. I was shocked how quick they were. Would recommend and I am now a loyal customer. I understand it won't always be that quick, but I appreciated their service greatly.”

Best prices too. If he can save you money, he truly will. He went out of his way to check and see if my car had some recalls that we could get done for free through dealer instead of him making the money. As well as not charging me for an alignment that he did on my car, and didn’t quote with the other work he did. He did not want the money for it even after I insisted. Very honorable man and has a great family working the desk too! We will for sure always take our cars to him!”

My good friends referred me to Central Iowa towing. Everything from start to finish was top notch customer service. It’s stressful being stranded, and the moment a real person answered the phone on a Saturday night, I was relieved! Jason then called me on his way to tow my truck. Superior communication all around. Photos to assure you it was taken where it needed to go! I feel so unbelievably blessed! Thank you Jason and everyone at Central Iowa Towing!”

What this Des Moines ranking is based on
Every company on this page is ranked on two published inputs: its Google review rating and the number of Google reviews behind that rating. Rating decides order first; review volume breaks ties, because a 5.0 average from 8 reviews is weaker evidence than a 4.8 average from 900.
We do not accept payment for placement, and no company can buy a higher rank in Iowa. Companies may claim their profile and submit verification, which adds a verified marker but does not change ranking position. The complete calculation, including how we handle missing data, is published on our methodology page.
Ratings and review counts for Des Moines, IA are refreshed as new Google review data is collected. When the underlying data changes, this page and its ranked order change with it.
