"I am very pleased with Nerd Towing. I contacted them for a same day tow service to move our vehicle from Puyallup to Buckley. The communication was top notch and they were fast and friendly and listened to instructions very well. Thank you Nerd Towing!!"

"Jared was exceptionally fantastic! He loaded and unloaded our non running 89 Suburban with ease! He is super friendly and hard working. I have used this company before and I was as equally impressed. Can't beat the prices either. I work for a collision center and I will be passing out his business card from now on."

"Super flexible and easy to work with! They helped with a forklift. The whole thing took about 90 minutes and they were competitively priced. Bubba, the gentleman driving the truck, was a ninja with the tow truck and all-around awesome to work with. Appreciated the company while we waited for the forklift. I'd definitely recommend them!"

"If they can get it on the truck, they will move it! Tomy was able to move a large shed from one tight spot to another tight spot, with no trouble at all. Very fast, professional and experienced. Thank you NERD Towing!"
