What customers said about battery service
My minivan broke down in a Jiffy Lube oil bay. The Purcell Team got out to me in 20 min. then assessed the situation and recommended a jump start and not a tow. The jump start worked and they safely got me over to a battery vendor close by for a changeout. Overall, they did right by me and helped with the true…
Eric was solid! He helped me get my car started, and when I accidentally turned it off and needed another jump, he came back and looked out for me without charging me again. Really appreciate the help and the good customer service.
Veteran Road Services was quick to respond, professional, and made a stressful situation much easier. They kept me informed, arrived when they said they would, and got me back on the road fast. I appreciate the great service and would definitely recommend them.
Cody was great! He was very patient with me while I was looking for a center to tow the car, he was extremely friendly, very helpful and went above and beyond for which most people think are very simple services. Greatly appreciated such a friendly experience in a frustrating situation.
Called for a tow for my car that I couldn’t get started with a jump, 35 min later they were here ready to tow, offered to try jumping it first, took a couple times but ultimately got it running for me. Saved me some money not just towing it and trying to help first!! Will definitely use them again if needed! Honest people!! Would recommend 100%
Huge shout out to Marcus who just replaced my dead car battery within my tiny garage, and improved the front hood latch for free. A mensch. Highly recommend. 24/7 roadside services.
