My wife and I were in Lake George for the Winter Carnival when our car broke down. Our insurance sent Jon with 518 Tow to tow us to a repair facility — but the car couldn't be fixed over the weekend and the dealership needed more time. We were in a real dilemma. We called Jon and asked if he could drive us home to New Jersey with the car. "No problem," he said. Sunday morning, Jon picked us up, loaded the car, and drove us over 250 miles to a repair shop near our home — then drove us home from there. Jon and 518 Tow are the BEST in the business. Considerate, caring, honest, trustworthy — he deserves 10 stars, not 5.
So glad I called these guys! I needed a tow after hitting a huge pothole. They arrived within minutes and were very professional. The price was reasonable and I will now recommend them to anyone needing these services.
Called multiple companies after my car died on a very cold night. Most were indifferent or unwilling to send a truck. Jon picked up while he was on the road, was kind and courteous, and made his best effort to get to me quickly. Very reasonable quote too.
Top notch service! Towed my truck from Saratoga to Fort Ann and showed up in record time. Affordable and friendly. 100% will be calling these guys if I ever get in a pinch again!
