Best tow experience ever! I was in need of a tow and James showed up within 30 mins. His communication skills are 10/10! James texted when he was 15 minutes away, to keep me updated. He was genuine, down to earth, friendly, and professional. The kind of qualities you need during a not fun experience (getting towed). He even called after the tow to check in, making sure I found a mechanic and that my care was fixable. I will save his number for future tows and to suggest to friends for years to come. Highly recommend!!

When I needed Veteran’s towing service, they were very flexible and worked me into the schedule right away. I needed a tow for my daughter’s car that was over 20 miles. The price was very good compared to other tows. James, the operator, was very very kind. The thing I liked the best was that when he was helping me, he didn’t seem bothered, rushed, and frustrated. You could literally tell that he wanted to be there helping us out. I had a great experience with Veteran’s and would highly recommend them to anyone!

The guy who owns the business is a scammer. He charged me $230 for a 1.4 mile tow. And then when I asked for a fair price he threatened to impound my car. Avoid this service at all cost

  • Price assessment: Overpriced

Response from the owner · 3 weeks ago

That’s kind of funny how you say I’m a scam when I came out I called you. I told you the price of the toll you said OK I don’t understand how I scammed you. You only got mad because you don’t have roadside assistance on your insurance policy and you also told me you were a college kid and you don’t have money. Do you think we’re supposed to tow cars for free?

I wish I could leave way more stars than 5! James was absolutely terrific. He pulled out a car from the woods on our property for scrap that wasn't the easiest to get to, and didn't charge extra for his efforts! Will definitely remember him if future needs arise/referrals!
