It was just a two day trip so you can imagine the anxiety that I had about securing a tow so I could enjoy my short family trip. Jason at CAP towing answered right away gave me a very fair price and was 15 minutes early to pick up on our agreed upon time! He stopped along the way so I would have time to get my vehicle situation squared away. He waited because I wanted to be home to help him navigate backing my 32’ camper into my extremely difficult, long and curvy driveway. He looked it over and got it in one try without ever putting his truck in drive after he started backing up. I was very impressed! The first time I tried my driveway took a dozen attempts. Thank you Jason and I will always call CAL towing any time I get into a jam!”

My car broke down in the middle for downtown CHS today and all the other towing companies were rude or booked out. Turky’s was super friendly and helpful and got someone out to me in less than 30 minutes, he helped me get my car started in less than 5 minutes, he was super super nice and was quick to help fix the issue. The receptionist was SO sweet and super helpful. I will be calling them if I need any help again!”

After waiting for hours, Cody arrived determined and ended up physically pushing our stalled vehicle down three floors...all with a broken toe! Thank you, Cody, and thank you Moore's for having people like him on your team.”

ETA accuracy — · Completion — · Cancellation — · operational data not connectedSource: Google Business Profile ↗B“As an incident on Sullivan’s Island was occurring, the business van I was driving had an issue of its own. I called a company and got no response and then called JG Towing. Not only did they respond immediately, the driver, Kevin, continued to wait for an eternity to get onto IOP but subjected himself to a search as every vehicle coming or going was searched. Then he hooked up the van and awaited some more. He is paid by the job AND he never wavered or complained. Dispatch (I think his name was Will) was also exemplary in his response, patience, communication, and follow through. I would not bother to call any other company.”

What this Charleston ranking is based on
Every company on this page is ranked on two published inputs: its Google review rating and the number of Google reviews behind that rating. Rating decides order first; review volume breaks ties, because a 5.0 average from 8 reviews is weaker evidence than a 4.8 average from 900.
We do not accept payment for placement, and no company can buy a higher rank in South Carolina. Companies may claim their profile and submit verification, which adds a verified marker but does not change ranking position. The complete calculation, including how we handle missing data, is published on our methodology page.
Ratings and review counts for Charleston, SC are refreshed as new Google review data is collected. When the underlying data changes, this page and its ranked order change with it.
