On 11/29/2025 Melea McAdams had this to say:
Slid my car into a ditch on the way home from work this morning. I called the first company that appeared open when I googled towing companies. The guy came out quickly, was friendly, and even towed my vehicle up the road to my neighborhood.

On 11/29/2025 Max Larson had this to say:
We had a flat tire and called these guys because AAA wasn’t being helpful. Super pleased with the service, the driver was super nice, and he showed up really quickly after we called. We had issues at our first destination getting a tire, so he stuck with us and helped us find a place that could get us in.

First day of a snow storm and my vehicle was smoking. They said 45 mins for a tow and Chris K was here within 25 mins. I appreciate the prompt attention especially due to weather I’m sure they were busy today. Amazing service today thank you
