My vehicle had broken down and needed to be towed. Gave Ben a call and he was able to set up a time for the tow and a fair estimate on the car! It was a super easy process and Ben was very nice! I would definitely work with them again!

Had a dead car sit in a garage spot for over a year since other tow companies couldn’t figure out how to remove it with how close it was to main building-Rathes came by and had it gone within 30 mins, super easy and with a smile

They paid me $615 more than the dealership offered me for trade in! I talked to Ben, got the offer and he picked the car up less than 2 hours later. You cannot get more efficient than that!
