I was driving down 460 heading into Lynchburg from the Concord area and a tow truck pulled directly in front of me from the median almost causing a multi-car accident (several cars behind me had to slam on brakes/swerve). I had to swerve to the right lane to avoid hitting him. Once I was able to pass the truck, he swerved into the right lane and caused a similar issue with the vehicle behind me. This was all I needed to see to know that this driver should not be behind the wheel of a tow truck. I'm glad this situation did not end in an accident, but in the future, I hope your drivers are more careful.

The town truck driver was speeding with his yellow lights on down express way with a vehicle loaded. Causing cars to think they had to get over almost causing a wreck in 5 pm city traffic.

Driver came as quickly as he could to change my flat tire. He was very kind and concerned for my safety on the dark back road near Smith Mountain Lake. He was quick and efficient despite the rain and had me back on the road within 15 minutes! Thank you for your speedy help!!!

While working for Amazon, I got a flat tire and found myself stranded in the middle of nowhere. Within 20 minutes, TJ from Big Toe Towing showed up and completely turned the situation around. He was fast, professional, and incredibly friendly. What really stood out was his attention to detail and customer care — he even opened the door for me, which may seem small, but it made a stressful situation feel a lot easier. On top of the excellent towing service, he also took the time to share helpful information about local services, which I really appreciated. It’s rare to come across someone who combines efficiency with genuine kindness. I would absolutely recommend TJ and Big Toe Towing to anyone in need of reliable roadside assistance.
