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!
We called AAA and Jesse came to help us. He was THE MOST HELPFUL FRIENDLY PERSON we could have dealt with. He was very knowledgeable and kind and did an amazing job! Thank you so much!
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.
Very helpful and kind drive!
Very thankful for Bill… he was so helpful & even gave me suggestions to save money and next steps with my Tesla warranty but I haven’t even thought of. We need more people like Bill… his customer service was top-notch! Steve ,who towed my car, came exactly in the time frame I’d been given (props to P & M Towing…

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…
I had a very good experience. The driver was very helpful. Driver name is Spencer 634

Marcus was great - friendly, fast and efficient! I am editing this review since Google doesn’t allow me to leave two reviews for the same business… I have problems. What can I say?

Made sure not to damage our car when loading and treated it like his own. Hard to find people like that these days. You…

Billy was the technician that helped us very cool guy can't say enough good things about him very professional got the job done in a timely manner extremely professional
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! Marcus got our car safely to the mechanic and we are very grateful for his help! Thank you Marcus! 5 stars for your excellence! 😁

When our car needed towed, we called AAA. Travis from P&M arrived within 10 minutes and took care of everything very quickly. He was great to work with. Definitely recommend.
Billy arrived quickly to the scene of the accident. He was professional, kind and respectful. If all those who work with P&M towing are as awesome as Billy, then this is a great company to do business with. Can’t say enough good things about this interaction. Thanks!
I had quick response during traffic hour. Reliable, Friendly and quick to deliver where vehicle needed to get to, since I needed to purchase another tire. Thank you so much Billy

Ivan truck#25 just towed my SUV and he was great. Very nice and helpful in doing what needed to be done for the tow. If you ever need a tow ask for him. Would want him again to tow if I ever need him again. He was quick and all went good. Thank you Ivan.
Very nice and patient.
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. He was the best!!! I have had my AAA Card for 50 YEARS. I think this is only maybe the 5th time I've ever been towed!! ***Thank you AAA!!!!***
Google won't let me add a second review...so I'm adding to the first one! This time Matt (driver #675) came to my rescue. Grateful fir his expertise and thoroughness.

Omar is as easygoing as he is efficient and flawless in his work. I really enjoyed that breezy ride with him and he helped me out tremendously.
AAA sent Spencer to the rescue! He arrived very quickly to assist us after our car had suddenly broken down in a parking lot. Spencer was very professional, respectful and kind.
