Last week when it snowed I got stuck in a median that was covered by snow. I couldn’t get out and I was almost out of gas and had an important meeting to get to. I called Sandberg’s and the receptionist Joyce was so pleasant and calmed me down since I was so worried. They sent Eli out so quickly. The whole process was extremely fast. Eli even backed my car completely out of entrance I was in so I wouldn’t accidentally reverse into anymore snow. I told him I wasn’t the best at reversing out of an entrance that long and he immediately offered to help. The pricing was more affordable than I had assumed. I was able to make it to my appointment safely in enough time. Just a great experience all around.

Chris K. from Sandburg’s Towing & Recovery did a great job in securing my car onto the flatbed trailer and taking it to a car dealership to be serviced. He was polite and answered my questions.
