What makes a towing service, or wrecker service, professional versus just a joe with a truck that can pull things?
Admit it: when the thought of needing a towing service comes to mind, the first image that pops into your mind is probably about those wrecker services of old where Billy Bob shows up with a rusty, beat up old truck and a winch, then proceeds to drag your brand new vehicle home with a tow rope or chains - a cigarette hanging out of his mouth as he tells you, “Sorry ma’am, there’s no way I can give you a ride nowheres.”
While “wrecker services” have come a long way since those days, there are still some reasons you want to stay away from a few:
- Ridiculously high prices.
- Unwillingness to assist you in getting where you need to go once they hook up your vehicle or throw it on the flatbed trailer. Take a taxi? Call a friend? Not always viable options when everyone is at work during the day or you don’t have any cash on hand for a cab ride.
- Less than friendly service: Sure, most wrecker service companies can get the job done, but do they act like you just inconvenienced them when you are the one who was just inconvenienced the most?
- Slow, slower, and very slow response times.
- Lack of experience in your particular situation and what type of tow truck and service you may actually need.
Being a professional wrecker service requires more than an ability to load up a vehicle and drag it away. It takes experience and know-how to maneuver in tricky, hazardous conditions while picking up a vehicle.
It also takes the ability to calm a motorist and have them remain calm during a potentially very stressful life event in the case of a car accident. Or to listen to an already angry motorist who hates their car for making them miss their flight, late for an important meeting, or just creating the sudden incredible hassle.

If you think professionalism in the towing service industry is not that big of a deal, try Billy Bob’s wrecker service, or one of the less reputable wrecker service in Greenville, SC, and you will realize what we are talking about: but who wants to learn the hard way?
