We had a pickup truck run through a stop side and t bone our Peterbilt septic truck. Alan showed up and was able to recover if from a ditch and towed it our yard. Definitely would recommend them they were friendly and the price was great. Thanks again Alan!

This place is so sketchy. The receptionist is so rude and cold and there are aggressive and contradictory signs everywhere. The floor is coated in a layer of sand that I'm afraid I'm going to slip on (and I'm only 30). The whole place is just dirty and filled with bugs. They insisted on letting themselves into our car to get the registration themselves which is soooo shady. If you have a car here, you have no idea who's just letting themselves into your car without authorization. Also, for proof of ownership, they don't accept insurance which seems so weird to me. Oh also, they are charging $750 for 5 hours after we saw that it got towed. Just avoid this place at all costs if you can

This company is made up of vultures. I left my car parked because it broke down for just one night at Walmart. It was a Saturday. The next day, Sunday, I went back with a tow truck to pick it up, and it was gone. We were told that this company had taken it, as they patrol Walmart parking lots looking for cars to tow. They were closed on Sunday, so we couldn’t retrieve the vehicle. On Monday morning, as soon as they opened, we went there with the tow truck, and they claimed we owed them three full days. They took the car on Saturday, they are closed on Sunday, and we arrived first thing Monday morning—yet they still charged us as if it had been stored all that time. Everyone working there—the receptionist, the manager—treated us terribly. They act like their only purpose is to take advanta

We had a terrible experience with this towing company. Our car was towed on Saturday, and when we went on Sunday to pick it up, the place was closed. We returned first thing Monday morning, and they still charged us for three days. How are we supposed to pick up the car on a day they’re closed? When we asked for the receipt before paying, they refused to show it. It’s completely normal to want to see what you’re being charged for before handing over the money. On top of that, they only accepted cash, even though by law they’re required to offer more than one payment method. The staff was extremely rude throughout the entire process. I do not recommend this company at all, very unprofessional and dishonest.

Expect to have valuable and sentimental items taken if they tow your vehicle without you around. Rolled my vehicle, was admitted into the hospital and they towed my vehicle, claimed my power tools and 3 necklace urns were in my bookbag placed in the vehicle then go to retrieve these items along with everything else in there and the bookbag with power tools and my 3 necklace urns are gone and have been extremely unprofessional about giving me these items back, claiming they put them in my vehicle but nowhere to be found in the vehicle. I’m more concerned about the sentiment irreplaceable items as the power tools can be replace but the urns cannot all because of unhonesty and unprofessional practices taking advantage of people in situations like me. They will be hearing from my lawyer as I h
