Called for a tow, and they were there within 15 minutes. Gabe was very professional. He took my vehicle from Ames to Boone and had my vehicle put exactly where I wanted it. Never had such a great experience with a tow company before. When I need a tow, I now know who to call. Thanks again Gabe for a job well done!!

Fast, friendly service! I needed a roadside tire change and they were quick to get to me and even quicker to get the spare tire put on. Ethan even talked me through the guidance on using a donut tire. Will call them again if I am in need of service!

This was a great company who worked hard to get my sons car out of a snow bank. They were cordial and did a fantastic job for us.
