    “Needed mechanical work on our truck and set up an appointment for it to be picked up and delivered to the mechanic. Fernando arrived appropriately early of the time and got the vehicle loaded like he was taking care of his own. It was a smooth and easy transaction. Greatly appreciate Fernando's knowledgeable and friendly service.”

      “This morning I blew a tire on my way to work. 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.”

What this Waterloo 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 Waterloo, IA are refreshed as new Google review data is collected. When the underlying data changes, this page and its ranked order change with it.
