I was driving home from the airport on Friday July 28th in a pretty bad storm and my truck broke down on US 20 west at state st. I called and James answered. I explained the situation, about midnight, raining, and sitting in the middle of the road. He showed up in less than 15 minutes got me off the road and suggested places to take the truck since I was not at all familiar with the area. He got me to a well lit parking lot, let me stay in the tow truck so I could charge my phone (it was literally at 5 percent)and stayed with me while I tried to start the truck. James is VERY kind and compassionate. If you are ever unlucky enough to need a tow truck hopefully you will be lucky enough that James is driving that truck. Thank you again James!! You made a bad situation tolerable.
Matt is the best tow truck driver! I actually request him when I need a tow. Jims towing & automotive are honest mechanics. I recently had to have a transmission so I asked Bob who he recommended. Bob is the owner & a very honest person. Once Sears mechanic told me I needed an alternator. I took my car to Bob. He tested my alternator. He said, "you don't need an alternator". Shame on you Sears! Thanks, Bob ; ) oops! That's an old review I forgot to post. Danny is current owner, Bob's Son. Both are honest. I won't take my Car anywhere else. Honest & trustworthy ; )
My car was towed for expired plates it’s the 1st of the month. This “family business” is just a bunch of money hungry no good to the community people. They hound the parking for a couple of hours and wait till might to start towing. No should do business with this type of people.
