We offer a wide range of towing and wrecking services. This includes everything from 24/7 emergency and towing services to local and long distance towing, heavy duty towing, collision services, and junk car removal.

This post is to address some misconceptions about a post that featured one of our drivers and two photos of the paint job below. The artist of this work is James R. Ellis (linked below). The car was prepped by Maaco Collision Repair and Auto Painting in Gulfport, MS, and they also deserve credit for their great work. His skilled work went viral and we used two of his photos we found online uncredited as a joke. Anyone that knows us knows that we aren’t a body shop and that we tow cars, but to the people that thought that we were taking credit for the work we sincerely apologize. This post is to give James the credit he deserves!
