“Motorcycle broke down in Springfield, I gave James a call .he was there in 15 minutes.”

Don Van DonselaarGoogle review

That is the job. Somebody is stood somewhere they did not plan to be, and the only thing that matters is how fast a truck turns up and whether the person driving it knows what they are doing.

What the truck is for

The four things painted down the side of it

  1. 01

    Towing

    Flatbed, so the wheels come off the road and stay off it. Cars, trucks, motorcycles.

  2. 02

    Unlock

    Keys locked in it, engine running or not. A call gets you back in without a broken window.

  3. 03

    Roadside Assistance

    Flat tire, dead battery, out of gas. Plenty of calls end with the car going nowhere on a truck at all.

  4. 04

    Recovery

    Off the shoulder, in a ditch, somewhere it was never meant to be. Winched out and put back on its wheels.

Cards accepted. If you are not sure which of those you need, call and describe what happened.

Not everything on
the deck is a
daily driver

A lot of what goes on the truck is somebody’s project, somebody’s weekend, or a machine that costs more than the car that brought you here. Strapped down properly, taken slowly, put back exactly how it came on.

The review that says it best is about a motorcycle, which is the load with the least margin for getting it wrong.

“I always call James at 417 rowing whenever I have a flat (which seems like all the time) and he is responsive to my texts and comes right away. He's polite, funny and reasonable and does a great job every time. Save his number in your phone so you have that for emergencies. I don't know what I would do without him!”

Call, or send a picture
of what happened

A photo of the car and where it is sat usually says more than any form could. One review puts it plainly: he is responsive to texts.
