My vehicle broke down on the side of the road, and the driver, Maui, arrived quickly and professionally. He was courteous, handled my vehicle with care, and safely transported it to the repair shop without any issues. The whole process was smooth and stress-free during a frustrating situation. I highly recommend DPT Towing for anyone needing reliable roadside assistance or towing services. Thank you, Maui, for the excellent service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

Called Tiger, Tyler assured me they would take care of me. They had a great arrival time, jump started my truck, got me back on the road so I could get a new battery. Wesley was so polite, courteous, and knew his job. I will only use Tiger, they have great service and great prices. They are my only recommendation. The company as a whole has great family values and definitely knows what customer service is!”

Only 20 miles down the road the bus died. Now that is when you know you are going to have a bad day. This was a large transit bus so it was going to take a large wrecker. So let's not get long into this. The 1st company called had a terrible attitude, next company I-70 Laura had a great attitude and understood my distress. Dino came to the rescue, by the time he got to us I had the bus running again but not well it was imperative to get this large vehicle off the side of the road. So Dino followed us to a safe drop off point ... Now that is Service.”

I deliver groceries part time and both of these incidents happened while I was on a delivery. They are professional and were so quick that my clients didn't even realize I had any problems. The first was a dead battery, got me up and running in 10 minutes, that's including waiting for them to arrive! The second was a flat tire, he aired it up and got me where I needed to go to fix the tire very fast! Excellent work!!!! They deliver gas, help with dead batteries, flat tires, for when you lock your keys in your car, etc. I highly recommend.”

My car was stranded on I-70 in Warrenton last weekend. All three wrecking crews my insurance company dispatched canceled. One call to Slate, and a wrecker was inbound to return my car to Columbia. Real, kind, professional people achieved what technology couldn't on the side of the highway. They're my first call next time, and I highly recommend they be yours too. Thank you Slate Towing!”

ETA accuracy — · Completion — · Cancellation — · operational data not connectedSource: Google Business Profile ↗P“This is most courteous, caring and respectful tow company in the area. Hands down. Last night I was en route to my apartment in my girlfriend's car after dropping her off at a friend's house when I ran over an enormous pothole (at least 6-8" in depth) on Locus St. (If someone in charge of Columbia roadways is reading this, please get this filled/fixed... It is barely visible at night and far too deep to disregard). She drives a coupe with very little ground clearance; not to mention some really skinny tires. Naturally, I blew out both both the front left and back left tires. I slowly made my way to a nearby gas station where I called AAA. They referred me to Carl's Towing, as they are a AAA-certified tow service. I was lucky enough to have Devon (the night manager) come to my rescue and provide assistance. However, I was entirely unprepared for the incredible amount of assistance he would actually provide. Devon took an outrageously stressful situation and turned it right-side up. He quickly made the car tow-worthy, hooked me up to his truck and towed me back to their shop. With the help of his co-worker, Robert, they went above and beyond to find any possible avenue they could to circumvent the expensive and seemingly inevitable new purchase I was going to have to make on new tires. Miraculously, they were able to salvage two matching tires from an identical vehicle that had been sitting ( in what I would describe as their accident-involved vehicle lot) for at least two years, rusting away and totaled. They said they wanted to "set me up good" and that is just what they did. They aired them up, mounted them, and off I went back home in a car that was originally destined for an auto repair shop. The best part about it was that I didn't pay a thing, when I easily could have been looking at $400 or more in the hole in the next 48 hours following last night's incident. Because of these guys, she now has a drivable car and will be able to see her family for Easter. Th”

Chris was an excellent agent to work with. As an out-of-state resident, I was unsure about the main problem to the car, had changed both batteries and the car was still now starting. He listened to my situation and was completely hands-on and understanding. He provided me with great advice and was extremely helpful. He is the best towing agent I’ve ever dealt with. I couldn't be more satisfied with his services and how helpful he was!”
