Testimonials

On 5/14/2026 Michael had this to say:
Requested long-distance towing service from Valparaiso to Schoolcraft, Michigan and received a response within an hour with a reasonable quote and pickup the very next morning. The vehicle was an extremely rusted out, non-running Dodge truck. Ryan was kind enough to call me following pickup to warn me of the condition, in the event I had been scammed. They added additional ratchet straps to secure the truck (due to the poor condition), as well as the additional four tires & spare bumper. They were up front about any potential additional fees - and the price I paid at delivery was the price I originally quoted. The driver was punctual, friendly, and made great conversation at the time of delivery. He took tremendous care in unloading the vehicle, and accommodated our request(s) as to how & where to place my newly purchased rust-bucket. Overall, this experience went well above my expectations and I simply couldn't be happier. If I ever have the need for long distance towing in the Michigan/Indiana area, I know exactly who to get ahold of!

I just recently got into an accident. I collided with a deer. Joyce has been such a pleasure to work with. This is my first accident, she's been insanely helpful! Joyce has answered all of my questions and more. She deserves some recognition! Thank you so so much Joyce! 💛

Marty was my tow driver and he was excellent. I had a rough day and he really came thru for me. Aside from that the man is a beast behind the wheel. Extremely humble and generous.
