    I just want to say this place is amazing. All of the staff were understanding with my sons situation. Explained everthing throughly and were so kind and pleasant. They turned a really bad situation into a more tolerable situation. In the end I feel like I was heard and understood and walked out knowing that if I ever need a tow I will 100% call the team at Burn's!!!

    Now listen here, I done had my ol’ Dodge towed by these fellers three times this month, and lemme tell ya — they’re the nicest bunch of boys this side of the county line. Showed up faster than a raccoon on a chicken coop, all smilin’ and polite, callin’ me “sir” like I was somebody important. And I ain’t gonna lie — them drivers? Real easy on the eyes. My wife said, “You best stop breakin’ that truck on purpose,” but I told her, “Woman, sometimes the Lord just wants a man to need a tow.” Only problem is — and I hate to even mention it — every time they tow my rig, somehow there’s… well, let’s just say a mysterious warm puddle on the driver’s seat. Now, I ain’t accusin’ nobody, but that seat smells like a Waffle House parking lot after a Friday night. Friendly, over priced, well-hydrated, price-gouging. 1 star. Rack city.

    Cat and Shane did an amazing job extricating our truck from our yard which required them to maneuver around multiple obstacles. They refused to be deterred.
