I have to agree with most of the reviews, between the very helpful Portia in dispatch and our professional and friendly (and also very helpful!) Evan, our driver, our experience with Southern Wrecker met and exceeded all expectations. Thanks for helping us out. Good job all around.

I hired them to take off the mast of a forklift, the lady told me that if it takes more than 3 hours they would charge an extra fee. I was ok with that, she told me that they would take 1 hour to arrive on the location. 50 minutes later they arrived, I was out to buy a wrench to take out 2 bolts. After 10 minutes (!) they called saying that the equipment was not ready that they would need to leave. I argued that we agreed that I hired them for 3 hours and that I was 6 minutes away, that they should wait as the 3 hours had not expired yet. They just left. And charged my credit card! Unbelievable. 10 minutes! They were supposed to lift the mast to take out the bolts, only that , how were they expecting that it would be ready if they were hired exactly to do that!?!?!?

Saturday late afternoon I found myself on the side of the road with a completely shredded tire. Being I have after market 24s on a tesla, finding a tire that fit and shop available on short notice was not in the cards. From the moment Michael showed up to tow my car he went above and beyond didn't stop even after dropping off my car. He made a rough situation much easier.TY SW&R . It's people like Michael who make this world a little bit easier.Service: Car towing

Violated by Southern WreckerMy life changed in an instant. I watched helplessly as all our belongings went up in flames on the side of the road near St Augustine, Florida. It's Bad enough to experience total devastation but when Southern Wrecker took the charred remains of my RV to their compound and refused to let me enter their property to salvage my valuables - insult was added to injury. I was introduced to a company with a complete lack of humanity. I had been taught as a child to respect the first responder heroes that arrived on an accident scene to help the victim. My experienced proved to be very different. I left the scene of the fire that day with only the burnt shirt on my back. After getting my burns treated and bandaged, I went to the Salvation army for some clothes. When I contacted Southern Wrecker the next day to arrange to retrieve the prudent cash reserve safely stashed in a strong box and the Jewelry hidden in another safe place the clerk at Southern Wrecker refused to cooperate. I attempted to go up the chain of command. President Garrison Gaylord would not respond to any of my voice massages, emails or even the formal letters I mailed to him asking for his help. I contacted the FHP about this matter and Lieutenant Marqueaux launched a criminal investigation that was quaffed after only a few weeks. No explanation was provided. I appealed to Legal Aide for some help but going through the legal processes with a lawyer took months. Three weeks after the accident the remains of my RV were taken to the savage yard where I was allowed on the property. While looking through the charred remains I became fully aware that Southern Wrecker had pilfered everything of value, pried open the strong box, removed all the cash, jewelry and valuables. The remarks I heard from the manager at Copart revealed that this sort of behavior was common from the boys at Southern Wrecker.The judge who eventually heard the case admitted that the criminal behavior of Southern Wrecker was wrong but upheld their innocence because of an obscure statute of the law. I cannot fathom the psyche of the network of men who would do this to others or the stomach it must take to regularly disregard the hurt, wounded and displaced victim of tragedies to steal all that is left. Southern Wrecker clearly does not qualify as a compassionate, humanitarian or even honest First Responder with their selfish, clearly criminal motives supported by an obvious good old boy network. Southern Wrecker knows how to play the game that provides them perks from the victims of unfortunate accidents who fall prey to their unethical service, plus they have friends in high places who let them get away with it.

Tried to use them to move a boat. The young man tried to measure the height of the boat while it was parked on a driveway with 11 percent slope. Instead of measuring from between the tires to the top of the boat he measured straight up and down which indirect it was at a 11% angle and he could not understand what I was trying to explain to him when I measured it was 9 feet plus the truck which is 4 feet. This is underneath guidelines for transportation but due to his experience we were told they could not transport it. And they still ran my card for almost $500. And the funny thing is three years before they are the ones that brought it there! What a joke

My Semi truck broke down and they towed it to the shop and sent another truck to tow my tank to my drop yard. Not many companies have someone who can pull a tank and I'm glad they did. They were also the cheapest place in town and charged me close to 200 under ASAP and a few other places!!! Thank you Southern Wrecker for helping out the little business owners. Hopefully I NEVER need yall again but if I do I will call!!! THANK YALL!!!!!Service: Special vehicle towing

The rep told me the charges would amount to $590. I agreed to that. After the wrecker pulled the vehicle out of the mud, the tow driver showed a bill of $620 - fine. The rep called from the office afterward stating it would be $1100 and charge our account without approval. Very poor service and unprofessional. Do not use these scammers.Service: Special vehicle towing
