“Due to a third person’s poor driving, my vehicle received some cosmetic damage while being towed. Central Iowa Towing fixed the damage, and the original problem which caused me to need a tow, for free. I was floored by their prompt reaction to the situation. I can’t wait for the next time I need a tow truck, just so I can have the joy of doing business with these folks again.”
