Joseph was awesome. The service was awesome, he got to me fairly quick and seemed very knowledgeable and experienced. Also he towed me to the first discount tire that I wanted to go to(unfortunately discount tire was already closed and I had to leave my car over night) and when we got there he recommended that we drop it off in a better area due to me having to leave it over night. He towed me to another location without charging me extra. Was very friendly and would definitely go with them again.

I called at 3AM and was met with a quick response time for a reasonable price. When Joseph Smith arrived he had me loaded up quick while being careful not to damage anything on my vehicle. Will definitely be using Smith Towing again

I drive around a lot, mainly at night time with my girlfriend. However, I ran my car into a curb during a rainy night with the lanes barely existing and called for towing. I was taken to a 24-hour tire shop that was recommended afterward. Joseph was nice, chill, and was good at communicating, as well as arriving as soon as he could.

Not sure,, what the guys name was that came and helped me @1:30am, but he was freaking awesome. I called Allstate and they told me no one wanted to come and assist me because I was on the side of the freeway and it was dangerous! I called this tow service asked could they put my spare on, He asked what the landmark was near me told me he would be there in 10mins, made it in 8 changed my tire in less than 6 mins! Real nice guy and I appreciate him
