Tim is very kind, nice and genuinely cares for his customers. He immediately called me to assure me he is coming to tow my car and even offered me a ride home. Superb and professional service - you will not be disappointed to call his company when you need him most!

They picked up my deceased brother's car and brought it to my house. From a location that was over 70 miles away. My brothers car is a classic car from the 60s. They were very careful with the car and very reasonable for such a long distance. I will continue to call them in the future.
