Bob at Wingard Towing Service responded quickly and professionally when I needed a towing service last week. It was the first time my vehicle left me stranded, so I didn't know what to expect. It was 7:30 in the morning, so I knew my Google search would be for a 24-hour towing service. The first place that I called offered 24-hour towing, but when I called, I got a message that the voice mailbox was full. The second place I called, I got no answer at all. Wingard, however, answered the phone professionally and confidently. I was told that I could expect one of their drivers in 40 minutes or less, but Bob arrived in less than 15 minutes! He was awesome and made me feel at ease in what would have been a very stressful situation. I highly recommend this towing service.

Do not let these people take your vehicle. You will have the hardest time trying to get it out. They would not release my vehicle after providing all the required information. Save yourself the trouble and get another towing company as you will regret having used Wingard Towing Service.Service: Car towing

The entire process took less than an hour. Very helpful young woman helped get my tow set up over the phone and Bob was here in less than 15 minutes! Great talk w Bob while he put the truck on the bed and was off to the shop in no time. Super guy, friendly, smart and helpful. No one wants to get their vehicle towed but if you have to, use Wingard Towing. Thanks you guys!Service: Car towing

Best towing experience I've had. Wife had a blowout on 26 east on our drive home from the airport. The owner should up in a timely manner. Drove us and her car to the tire shop of our choosing(which was less than a quarter mile from our house), and drove us home so my pregnant wife didn't have to walk. 10/10 would recommend.

Really down to earth nice people. From dispatch to the driver, everyone was very helpful and informative. Driver went above and beyond helping get boat hooked on to my other truck while the other was being towed. Most would have left and sped off to dump your vehicle so they could move on to the next tow.Service: Special vehicle towing

Bob did a great job, as he happened to be at Bolands ace hardware as we're my wife and myself, for having a bad Monday with our expedition he was right there picking something up and was able to help flatbed the car down the street to roysons automotive (??) to be repaired, he is a genuine and a nice guy. Wingard towing were nice, helpful and plesent to speak and deal with, overall made the rest of our Monday a much better day than it could have been. Thanks. JK

I was part of a 7 car pile up on Highway 26 the (blazing hot) afternoon of July 1. Most if not all of the vehicles involved were totaled, though amazingly no injuries. Not the way anyone wants to start the holiday weekend, but the solace and service provided by Bob at Wingard Towing honestly felt like a miracle. Bob had to tow all 7 vehicles by himself, we were the last. My grown daughter and I were in the process of moving her into an apartment and needed to access the vehicle in the tow yard that night to unload and continue another 6 hours in a rental car. Bob let my daughter and I sit in his air conditioned truck while attaching vehicles on the highway, he got his company owner, Greg, on the phone to help talk us through the entire wreck/insurance process and coordinate how we could get into his lot that evening to access and transfer everything from our car. Greg called us an hour later when we were at the rental car office (the state trooper having driven us there, another miracle) to give us an update on when Bob would be back at the lot that night to get into the car. Once at the lot, Bob brought us cold water, offered to let us into his office to clean up, and assured us it would all work out, that Wingard would take and send photos and work directly with the insurance adjuster. Bob's twinkling and happy blue eyes made me think of Christmas in July. I hope no needs to be towed from the highway, but if you do, call Wingard Towing! You will leave feeling grateful to be sharing this earth with such kind and capable people.

Had a double tire blowout hitting a massive pothole on the interstate. Billy was excellent. Took great care in getting my car to its destination. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

I was happy with the service that Robert provided today. He was very kind and patient with my vehicle.I would recommend that you give a military discount like most places. The towing price was a little high but the service was great.Service: Car towing

Very pleased!! Fast and efficient, super clean truck, affordable service, and professional driver (I was helped by Bob). I needed my Highlander taken 11 miles and dropped of in a small neighborhood. I was concerned about how Bob would get my car into my driveway, considering the narrow roads, but he nailed it!I would highly recommend their service.Service: Car towing

Have you ever had the thought, "wow...this day couldn't possibly get any worse" Well you haven't done business with Wingard Towing Service beforeLet me explainImagine you were driving to work when you get into a head on collision.Within 10-15 minutes of this collision you realize you no longer have a source of transportation, you may have serious injury to yourself and others, and oh yeah...someones towing your car as your giving your statement to the cops and talking to your insurance company at the same time.You take a picture of the side of the tow truck so you'll at least have a name and way to contact them once you're done giving your statement.Well it turns out that the phone number on the side of the tow truck isn't even in service anymore, the line is literally disconnected.803-764-12183750 Gibson St.Columbia, SC 29203All of this information above was OBSOLETE when they decided to take YOUR car without YOUR authorization, and YES this is YOUR CAR. LEGALLY. You've had it paid off for several years. Title in hand. It is YOUR property.Not only was it YOUR property, but the things inside of your vehicle were YOUR property as well, which was now, no where to be found.The literal keys to your home are still in the ignition, because all of this happened within a 10-15 minute time span. You literally cannot get into your home unless you find out where these people took your car.So then you do some digging, call up a few Wingard Towings in the area and find that it wasn't even a mile away from your accident.Which does not detract them from fining you a $140 "accident" fee. A fee that MUST be paid to get said house keys. MUST, no negotiating, no remorse, it is a must. They have officially monopolized your property and turned it into their property.You tried talking to them about how you did not authorize it being sent to their lot, that there was no communication made between the tow-er and driver and how you legally own the car and they cannot scrap it.After trying to reason with them, you give in and tell them you'll pay their $140 fee. SIKE!!! It's actually $147.5 with card (lol) she saysWhich you addressed to the front office that the board to the right of you says its $5 for a credit card transaction feeWhich she then charges $5 for instead of $7.5Bringing you to a total of $145After paying the fee you ask if you can bring your moms car into the towing lot so you can easily remove and gather all of your things. Not possible, but in their defense they did let you use a cart they had on hand so that was cool.The next day (Today, April 5th 2023) you look for companies trying to buy the car for scrap, you get some offers but can't sell to them because you still have a storage fee that needs to be paid off.So you call Wingard Towing Service located in West Columbia because online it says its open 24 hoursYou get in contact with the front desk after several calls and they tell you that1. She didn't have to answer your call because they close at 5pm2. You're being short with her and she doesn't appreciate that and3. You will have AT LEAST a $60 storage fee if the scrap company comes and picks it up tomorrow. Tomorrow being April 6th 2023Granted, this all happened to you YESTERDAY. April 4th 2023In your mind you are already thinking, "this doesn't add up"You tell her on the phone that it will not have even been in their lot for a 72 hour periodThey tell you that per their policy, you get the first 12 hours on the lot free. In their system your car arrived at 11:49am April 4th 2023, meaning 11:49pm April 4th 2023, they could charge you for all of April 4th, and they do.11 minutes of storage on Apr 4thLiterally 11 minutes, no remorse, another day has now been addedKEEP IN MINDYOU DID NOT AUTHORIZE WHERE YOUR PROPERTY WAS GOINGIT WAS TAKENAs I write this, I dread that I still have to work with them for the next few days to come. Bottom line, if you get into a wreck, and it's Wingard Towing Service hauling your car away, you&a
