Dynamite Road Service - Ina, Illinois

Jason P.

So I went to this place with two leaking wheel seals. he charged me four hours to do a two hour job at $170 an hour plus $100 worth of shop supplies and I gave him half the oil to go in the hubs
The mechanic doing this work said that I needed a new inner wheel bearing and I asked him why and he said because the spring was messed up inside of it so I had to get the other wheel bearings to show him. There was no springs inside of a wheel bearing specially, a spring smaller than a damn straw you get from Burger King .
This is how they knew, but at this point, my wheels were already off the truck

Took them almost 6 hours to complete this job

When I fired up the truck to get ready to go pulling out getting ready to get onto the interstate my ABS light came on
Until I went to this shop, I had no issues with my ABS on my trailer ..
I had to drive 12 miles down the road and 12 miles back to show him. My ABS light was on. It was not on when I came into the shop.

The lead mechanic there told me it was caused. The Wilson sensors have been pushed out so he crawled underneath the trailer with a screwdriver said he pushed them back in and I needed to get up to 55 mile an hour to clear out the codes.
I’m a mechanic, but I still gave him the benefit of the doubt and drove down the road another 5 miles and 5 miles back at 70 mile an hour and it never cleared out
He hooked up his computer to tell me there was no showing and that they weren’t going to fix it because it wasn’t their fault
If they took the wheels back off the truck, they had to charge me all over again
I drove to my shop a few hours away and had my trail looked at this morning . My mechanic had to beat the ABS around the hub back straight from where they bent it pulling the old wheel out.
Not only did he have to do this, but my locking bolts on my wheel that holds my wheel bearings in my hub to the axle. He could spin them off with his fingers. They were so loose and the locking screw that goes through the nut was ran all the way in so there was nothing stopping the nuts from backing out going down the road and losing my entire Assembly

So he got to looking at even more and both the seals were leaking that they had put in two brand new seals were already leaking

This is a flyby night place. They will rip you off. Send you down the road rolling dangerously and they don’t give a good God about nothing except raping your wallet.
They are incompetent and I do not recommend anyone using these people. There’s a loves directly across the street and I don’t promote loves, but I will.
There’s a TA right down the road in Mount Vernon
Don’t go to these people if you want to throw away your money why don’t you find homeless person just give them the thousand dollars you’re gonna spend with these people because when you’re done you’re gonna end up at another shop getting with a broke fixed

I hope this helps someone not make the same mistake

The owner himself came out and was awesome at getting my tire replaced even after loves said they couldn't do it. Highly highly recommend these guts they are fast and friendly

I called on New Year’s Day at 5pm for roadside service. Asked if they were open, the gentleman laughed and said, “we’re always open.” Service was top tier. My driver called me at 4:55pm informing me of the blowout. Two drives changed, and driver back on the road by 7pm! You can’t get in and out that fast if you drive to ANY tire shop, much less a road call. Extremely impressed and thankful.

Way too much to rain gas 2 miles not even 15 minutes of their time they charge way too much

i broke down on the side of the interstate on Christmas day with my kids in the car so i called dynamite road service and they had a service guy show up within 20 minutes of making the phone call. the gentleman im pretty sure his name was Michael let my kids and I sit in his service vehicle to keep warm while he fixed our car. with it being Christmas I was expecting a really high bill but it wasn't at all. i would definitely recommend dynamite to everybody I know. they are fast, polite, and reasonable with prices. the gentleman I spoke to on the phone was very understanding and made sure I was well taken care of.

I’m going to set this record straight and simple I highly do not recommend having these guys as your towing service!! First off when I called they sounded like they did not even want to come tow my car, by the time I waited for a tow truck to come the gentleman was absolutely rude and seemed like he was ready to leave before he even thought about putting the hooks on my car, never ever calling these guys again.

Dude is a total clown. I was in the area and called and explained what I needed done, he says "I can't do it, don't think it's possible"
I called "Jordan's Towing" and he said "No problem" and the job was done in 30 minutes. Company's like dynamite won't last long with a real tow service in town.

Bubba R.

I called this company for roadside service and the gentleman on the phone was extremely rude about it leaving me stranded in 15 degree weather, then called again hours later with no other company near me for hours to try and get towed to nearby truck stop. The same man answered the phone and proceeded to ask why I called to bother them, "there's other towing companies to call besides them". Don't ever make these people your first call. You're better off hitch hiking.
