Marcus was super quick and nice!
Ivan the driver was very friendly and quick to arrive to get my car loaded up on his flatbed. Great customer service!

Quick and polite! Billy managed to show up on time and tow a dead car which wouldn’t even go into neutral. I recommend this service to anyone who needs their car towed.
Thanks, P&M Steve was helpful and kind ! Services through AAA, it took about 15 minutes for the pick up time. Follow up a year later.... I called to have my car taking into the shop finally have it worked on. And the one that comes to take my car is steve. Thanks Steve excellent service once again.

Ivan #56 was on time, quick, and friendly. Will definitely use P&M again.
Marcus was very professional and friendly and courteous. I would request him for further tows.
If I could do 0 stars, I would. I have never had a mean tow truck driver. The tow truck drivers are the saving grace of this company. The front desk people and other workers, however, are the rudest, most despicable people I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with in my life. First of all, the rude lady on…

My husbands words, “ every interaction I’ve ever had with Marcus has been positive.” Marcus towed our car from Salem to Dallas for us and had such a positive demeanor! He did a great job and got it done efficiently. Thank you Marcus!
Ivan (#56) was very fast and helpful. He was clear on what to write on the form. He was also kind and respectful. Would call again (except hopefully not because that would mean my car broke down again :)).
Quick work and decent conversationalist couldn’t ask for more from a tow truck driver.
Spencer gave our car a tow today. I really appreciated his phone call to let us know when he would be at our location and having the air conditioning running in his truck when he was loading our car on the flat bed. I would definitely recommend P&M automotive if you need a tow and hope you get Spencer when they arrive.
Billy was great with my old 56 Mercury. Very careful. Super job!!
Today our AAA tower was Marcus, and he was awesome! He was friendly, he helped my partner (Scott) and I (Bri) push our little Mazda 2 car into position, he was quick and efficient!

Driver was able to figure out that it was a loose battery connection as to why the vehicle would not start. We tightened it and that took care of our problem.
Fast and Friendly. Very much appreciated.
After 20 years of running just fine, my 2006 Ford Ranger pickup decided to quit running. I needed a tow about 2 miles to my house. Spencer was very nice and loaded my truck very quickly.
