The gentlemen that came were very courteous and helpful. Great service and appreciate them.
Had a tire that got punctured by a road hazard while I was driving. I called AAA and they sent them out. The driver was nice and personable. He changed the tire in about 10 minutes and had me mobile. The one drawback was that it took about 40 minutes from the time I first called until he got there.
Excellent work. Fast and Friendly.
Had two flat tires. The guys came early and were very nice and professional. I was putting my battery in when they came and they actually did it for me. That was very nice of them. Definitely give them five stars!

Merl's towing and their drivers. Always Very helpful and fast when I've been in an emergency. So grateful.
The service was great the Driver called prior to coming as asked and was at my job to change my tire w/I 15mins of me requesting service. The gentleman was very nice and very efficient and went straight into doing the change. It may have taken him about 20min to 25min and he was done. He even showed me the reason…
