These guys are great - they didn't have a person available when I called with a flat tire on my motorcycle trailer on I-95, but they told how to get it taken care of very nicely!

Don’t use unless you want to be overcharged! They wanted $270 to tow a car 2.9 miles… absolutely absurd!

Saturday late afternoon I found myself on the side of the road with a completely shredded tire. Being I have after market 24s on a tesla, finding a tire that fit and shop available on short notice was not in the cards. From the moment Michael showed up to tow my car he went above and beyond didn't stop even after dropping off my car. He made a rough situation much easier. TY SW&R . It's people like Michael who make this world a little bit easier.

I have to agree with most of the reviews, between the very helpful Portia in dispatch and our professional and friendly (and also very helpful!) Evan, our driver, our experience with Southern Wrecker met and exceeded all expectations. Thanks for helping us out. Good job all around.

I hired them to take off the mast of a forklift, the lady told me that if it takes more than 3 hours they would charge an extra fee. I was ok with that, she told me that they would take 1 hour to arrive on the location. 50 minutes later they arrived, I was out to buy a wrench to take out 2 bolts. After 10 minutes (!) they called saying that the equipment was not ready that they would need to leave. I argued that we agreed that I hired them for 3 hours and that I was 6 minutes away, that they should wait as the 3 hours had not expired yet. They just left. And charged my credit card! Unbelievable. 10 minutes! They were supposed to lift the mast to take out the bolts, only that , how were they expecting that it would be ready if they were hired exactly to do that!?!?!?

We had Stephen dispatched to tow one of our motorcoaches that was disabled on 295. Stephen knew exactly how to get the job done! he was very professional and patient since tour busses take a little more time to hook. Thanks Stephen!

I was towed today by Mike at Southern Wrecker and Recovery he was very professional and friendly right from the start. I was broke down in the middle of a 4 lane on 301, I put out traffic cones that Mike had on his truck to detour traffic away from both sides of us as traffic was constant and safety is always a first priority. Towing a loaded car carrier is always a challenge but Mike nailed it and got me back to our yard in Jacksonville in no time. Thank you Mike, be safe. Phil Proficient Auto Transport

On Saturday the 24th of December, our truck died on our way to Disney World while hauling our 5th wheel camper. Stranded along I-95 near St. Augustine, I contacted Good Sam who then dispatched a wrecker that could only haul my truck leaving our 5er alongside the highway. I sent them "packing" and went about my own way to find another company (Good Sam was worthless IMO). Fortunately I found Southern Wrecker. Spoke with Heather at Southern Wrecker and my stress began to magically disappear. She was efficient and worked on getting a heavy hauler sent that could handle my entire rig. To boot, she even sent another truck to pick up my wife, child and dog since the heavy hauler would not have room in the cab. If that wasn't enough, she then arranged to have my camper hauled another 2 hours to Disney World so that we could enjoy our week while our truck was being repaired. I want to give a shout out the Heather for getting us back on the road and to our destination. She continued to follow up with me throughout the day to ensure that we (and our camper) got to Disney. She literally turned a VERY stressful time into one that was quite palatable. Thank you Heather for you calming effect, your efficiency and your desire to truly help. A+++ Service! I also want to give a shout out to Kenyan who drove the big rig hauling our truck to the dealership and then our camper to Disney. No doubt we made a GRANDE entrance into Disney with this monster truck hauling our 5er, He did a magnificent job getting us to where we needed to be. Thumbs up to Southern Wrecker and especially to Heather and Kenyan for saving the day!

Needed to tow my car off the side of the highway & the tow truck driver was there in about an hour (was around 6pm on a Saturday). Both the driver & dispatcher were super friendly & communicated well. Made the process easy. Definitely recommend

My car died last Friday. Called insurance and was told the waiting time was 120 min. I asked them to look for another towing company that could "rescue" me in a shorter period of time. They contacted Southern Wrecker and the expected time was 60 min. In reality, the towing truck with Mike showed up within 30 min or less. That alone was a good sign. Mike suggested to jump start first and then take it from there. The car started but I was afraid to drive it, in case it happened again. I asked Mike if he could possibly tow it to my house. It was no problem. My husband showed up shortly, explained the directions and asked Mike to please wait for us at the property since we wanted him to leave the car at a certain spot. Mike didn't mind doing it at all. Everything went smooth and I am very pleased with the service. Thank you Mike and Southern Wrecker!

My wife's car ended up needing a tow about 2 weeks ago. It was a rainy night during rush hour and Southern Wrecker was able to get Mike out within 30 minutes of my wife calling. Prior to his arrival, Mike called and said he was on his way. Mike was extremely professional and worked hard to get the car up and loaded as quickly and safely as possible. Our experience was so great that when we had to get her car towed to the repair shop today my wife called and specifically requested Mike to come tow her car. The dispatcher was very kind and helpful, she allowed us to schedule a time after work for Mike to come. Then about an hour before we requested Mike to arrive, we received a call from someone at Southern Wrecker to confirm our tow time and that Mike would be our driver. True to form Mike called when he was on his way and was at our house within 30 minutes. I would recommend Southern Wrecker and Mike to anyone who asks.

After reading all of the reviews I was skeptical about using them. I really didn't have a choice. So I sucked it up and gave them a call. I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID!. They were so friendly and dispatched a wrecker to come pick me up.They arrived very quickly. The driver was very friendly. The prices are VERY reasonable! I have nothing bad to say about Southern Wrecker & Recovery! Great people, Great Service. I will recommend them to everyone I know.
