Jason provided excellent service. He explained the extra assessment that he is required to do because I have a hybrid electric car. I needed a ride as he dropped my car off at the dealership. He even dropped me off at the car rental so I wouldn't have to walk from the dealership. Great job Jason!!

The tow truck driver stole the keys to my 2006 charger r/t. Then acted like he didn't take the key. He helped me look for it, and we didn't find it. Then he says idk. I feel like my car is going to get stolen next. I want my key back. If not replace the ignition on my vehicle.

Merls towing helped with swapping out rental cars when mine had a malfunction. Nice guy and I appreciated him driving the long distance to my home, about 45 miles, to bring me a new rental car and take the other one back and it had just started snowing.
