Pull Dog Delivers A Versatile Product

We talked to many people before buying and we determined that Pull Dog was the only one that had the type wrecker bed we were looking for, a 4 in 1. It’s very versatile. I had mine put under a Ford F450 chassis cab. Anything I go after, this thing can do. Pull Dog is great; everything they told me up front and everything they promised was delivered.

Ramsey Winch Is A Sturdy Product

Ramsey Winches are very well built. I’ve been dealing with Ramsey for 30 or 40 years, ever since we’ve had wreckers. They’ve never really failed us. Only normal wear and tear. I would recommend them over all of the other winches out there. Products and service are excellent. Anytime I have a problem, they more than gladly help me solve and fix my problems with advice over the phone.

We Couldn’t Be Happier With Ray-Jurgen

We have been doing business with Ray-Jurgen for a number of years and we keep coming back because of their outstanding customer service. They provide not only towing equipment, they also provide us with garage equipment – lifts, tire machines, things of that nature. Basically one phone call and it’s handled. We’ve bought five trucks from them this year. Their customer service is second to none. We couldn’t be happier with their service and products.

RV Cams Make Our Job A Lot Easier

I bought a system from RV Cams for my motor home, replacing the existing black and white camera with a color camera, and also the two side cameras, with an LCD screen on the dash. It works great. Very clean, very nice. Then we purchased a system for our big rig tow truck to replace an older black and white system. The driver loves it. It makes his job a lot easier trying to back up, keeping an eye on whatever he’s towing.

I Recommend Rydin Decal To Other Towers

I am very satisfied with Rydin Decal. I have been using them for a year and a half for my Tow Away signs. I designed them myself and they printed everything just like I needed it. Delivery was prompt. They do what they say they’re going to do. I am so satisfied with their service, I refer other people to them.

Savatech Never Lets Us Down

We use only the highest quality materials because in the emergency response business, there is no time for equipment failure. The Savatech sealing bag kit is quick and effective to use. Savatech Corp. has never let us down, either with equipment or with customer service.

SSCS Is An All-Inclusive System

SSCS is probably one of the most forward thinking, ever-evolving organizations that is continually working to advance their program. I’ve had it for five years now. I have a little over 20 units and we have multiple users on their system at any given time. All our accounts receivables, payables, all our inventory, dispatch, storage logs, tracking of vehicles, are done through the system. It is very, very complete and all-inclusive of anything anyone would need in a towing program.

Steck’s Products Are Easy To Use

We do Steck’s full line. The biggest sellers are the public safety kits and the Big Easy tools. Our customers want them because they’re easy and you can open just about any vehicle with them. Steck itself is wonderful to deal with. We’ve been dealing with them for six years or so and not ever had a problem with anything from them.

Take 3 Auto Transport Trailers Are Amazing

I bought a 53-foot Take 3 Trailer new back in June and it’s been a very, very good piece of equipment. I probably bought one of the best trailers they build. I had it upgraded with dual tandem wheels. It’s an amazing trailer, it will haul four cars, it’ll haul trailers, it pulls beautifully. You get it loaded, it’s very stable.

I did a lot of looking around at different trailers before I bought. Take 3 probably has the best trailer on the road today for hauling vehicles.

TowManager Handles Multiple Functions

TowManager has neat features such as it keeps track of the available drivers on the dispatch screen, which drivers are on call, which are not. It allows you to move your drivers around, change their trucks, put them on break, so you can keep track of them on the screen instead of on paper. It has integrated mapping. It maps locations to destinations. And much more. It’s a very useful system.
