Mr. Jones "Tank" Allowed our towing experience to be excellent. He walked us through every step of the process by being very communicative & charismatic. He was very cautious when operating, always making sure our safety was a priority, it makes all the difference. We all know it's a tough day when in need of towing, I'm glad Tank was able to ease the process! Thank you so much!

I was on 99 coming home from work on Friday. I had a blow out. My internet was out and a friend sent me Milsteads phone number. I called but was unable to give a location. Cars were racing by. It was very scary. The tow driver found me! I am very grateful. Not only did he fix my tire he helped me get back into traffic and on my way home. If you are ever in a jam please call them. You will be glad you did.

I have used Steve Meredith a few times to tow both my 1965 Mustang and my F250. I can't speak highly enough for how amazing he is. His honesty and integrity puts him far above others in his same line of business. His professionalism and the care he takes in everything he does is second to none. Give this guy a call first when you need a tow.

I have used milstead glass for many years. I needed a tow for my vehicle and looked up tow companies in Google. To my surprise Milstead Automotive also has a towing division. Called and set up for a tow. Dispatch set appointment and Steve showed up early even though it was late in evening. He was so nice and professional and really seems to enjoy working as a tow man. He was very polite and extremely knowledgeable of his truck (a really nice autism painted colors truck).
Even though needing my vehicle towed was a hassle, Milstead Towing definitely made it better. If ever I need his service again he gave me his card and I'll be sure to request Steve again. Thank you for your help

Y'all! Dennis Hilton with Milstead Automotive was by far amazing! This program of Tow and Go is a huge blessing! They're fast! Only complaint was the first guys that came out. Said dog was dangerous and she was far from that. Then Mr. Dennis came back by and towed us. Super friendly, professional, & really need more people like him! He took the time to explain the program to us once we were at the drop of location.
