Last night my car broke down unexpectedly. I called around to a few places to get a quote and an estimated time. Five Star was the cheapest by far. I was shocked when I heard the other prices. They were almost half of what other companies wanted. The driver got to me in 30 minutes of my call. I cant say enough great…

I needed a tow service to get myself out of a bad situation with a business that was abandoned by the owner of Carolina Auto Repair & Service. He was aware of that situation and went above and beyond to help me out. His assistance made the situation less stressful.
