Provided by YP.comI buried my Expedition 100 fee down an incline off I-43. I called Elder's avid 20 minutes later Randy was on scene. It was a tricky winch job in the rain and during rush hour. He pulled it out quickly and with no damage. He then blocked th right lane of traffic with his truck so my girlfriend and I could re-enter traffic safely. I pulled off the hey because my truck was running odd, Randy followed me off the exit and was able to troubleshoot the problem with my 4-wheel drive on the spot so I could drive home safely. He was a complete class act. I highly recommend Elder's to anyone who needs a tow truck in the Waukesha area!

Provided by YP.comMy problem with Elder exists out of their process more than people. People while professional are very mechanical and lack empathy. The process allows them to do what ever they want with your vehicle with no repercussions. I was told by operator 101 that all off my belongings were crushed with my vehicle and that certified letters were sent to my address on record. Doesn't matter that I was moving to Wisconsin and the accident happened before that could be accomplished. One small check and they could have seen that my address was in fact here in Wisconsin and no longer in Ohio. Again the process, but the issue here is several important things were in my truck, lets focus on just 1. My Ipod, which again according to operator 101 was crushed with my truck, magically appears on find my phone. So obviously the contents of my truck were pilfered before it was crushed. This is just my opinion but a very dishonest business this is and I would never use them for anything let alone car repair.
When a situation like this as you are describing occurs, it should be addressed towards the owner's of the business. I recommend that you call and ask for the owner so this can be addressed. We do have a process to scrap vehicles and unfortunately we cannot hold onto vehicles longer due to lack of storage available. For this same reason, the contents does go with the vehicle when it is time to scrap. We do not have any ipods or belongings at our facility. If your iphone located your ipod at our location, I would like to know what date that showed up. On the date that the car is ready for scrap is not always the date that it actually leaves our facility. There is a process involved on our end to prepare cars for scrap. That is why unless we have more details it is hard to know what your particular situation was. Please call our office and ask for the owner if you would like to discuss this further.

Provided by YP.comMy 77 year old Mother was in a car accident and her car was towed to Elders. She called the next day and was told there was nothing to do until the insurance company came and looked at the car. She assumed they were an auto repair shop. They did not mention that there was a daily storage charge of $45. The police report took over a week to obtain and by the time I was able to get her over to Elders they charged her $1,000 for storage and towing and it turns out they do not repair cars. When I questioned why they did not advise her that they were charging storage when she called they informed her that it was not their responsibility to inform her of anything. They were extremely rude and unwilling to negotiate the charges. I highly recommend that if you need your car towed do not allow Elders to be your service.
This is not how we handle things at our business. I would recommend that you call and ask for the owner to discuss this situation. When a person calls in they are always informed about the charges including storage. It is suggested if they have full coverage insurance which means collision, then it is best to have their insurance handle everything. We always are very up front about the storage fees because we do not want the vehicles to sit in our lot long due to space. People ask us often if we do body work and we do not. It is stated on everything about our business that we provide towing and automobile service. That is different than body work. Many insurance companies come in within 48 hours of the accident. They do not have to have a police report to get things going. I am sorry for your bad experience since car accidents are never a pleasant thing. If anyone is ever rude to you then I would hope you would ask to speak to the owner. Things can be handled much differenty that way. We never intend to be rude in our company but we do explain the procedure which is pretty cut and dry.

Provided by YPmobileFair price. My wife and I have brought our cars to elders for years. Its hard to find a shop you can trust. These are the good guys. They have saved us from spending too much on unnecessary repairs more than once. Very sharp, honest people.
