Above and beyond. Picked me up in the side of the interstate, carried me and my truck to their repair shop and then dropped me off at a hotel.

So was I lucky to get CORY!
Best Tow jockey I’ve met in years, he’s not 5 or 10 Stars, he’s 20 STARS! Call Yates and ask for Cory!

Doug Yates towing service was awesome! I had a 45 foot container to move from Augusta GA to Chattanooga. Mark was on time, hard working and went above the call of duty to help us. When I sold the container, Mark moved it to the new location quickly and easily. I think the price was very competitive for all the work.

Third time using Doug Yates was today and all three times have been great experiences! Highly recommend if you need anything towed! Drivers are courteous and very knowledgeable of the tow world and take time to made time to make sure my truck was hooked safely and securely! 5 stars all day!
