Testimonials

On 12/13/2025 Sarah Meghrian had this to say:
I can’t say enough great things about this tow company! The driver was incredibly professional, friendly, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They got my vehicle out quickly and safely from a snow bank without causing any damage. The response time was impressive, the service was top-notch, and they charged me a very reasonable price. If you ever find yourself stuck—especially in winter—this is the company you want to call. Highly recommend!

The starter went out on my truck, and JR towed it home for me. Very helpful getting things corrected with AAA that had everything mixed up.

John helped us out when we were in a major pinch, far from home, and other towing companies wouldn’t take our long distance tow.
