Default Towing service in Roanoke

Anyone have any suggestions on a good priced towing service in Roanoke. I Need to have the new car towed on a rollback from Vinton to the Lakeside area of town. I'm a busy bastard so it would save me some time if someone knew of a good place rather then me calling around...

AAA if you have them. If not, find a friend that is a member and have the car towed through them, it's totally free. All they have to do is call it in with their membership card number and say where the car is. Then AAA acts as a broker and finds the nearest towing company to where the car is. They show up, tow the car to its destination, and you're done.

All free. Ask Brian, one of his friend's girlfriends had a membership and got Brian's car towed for free one night with a simple phone call.

I love having a friend in the towing business. My old car had a electrical issue on I-64 about 25 minutes from the house at 12am. Gave him a call, he came out and towed back home on a roll back, all for just a case of beer

i'd suggest Rainbow Forrest.they've hauled several cars to my shop for people,and they always did a good job as far as being careful with lowered cars.
also,check into the price of a membership to AAA.may be cheaper than the tow,and you'll still have more free tows left over for this year.

Rainbow forest and quesenberry are both good.

Don't use the jackass right there on the corner of 581 and orange. They hooked up to my cv shaft, snapped it in half and wouldn't do a thing about it.

Rainbow Forest are good people. I forget what his name is, but the young black guy has towed for me several times. He's a cool dude and takes good care of your car.

581 and orange? Ehhh? Who are you referring to?

I don't know of any place on the corner of 581 and Orange considering the fact that it's an entrance/exit ramp. Are you talking about behind Subway and Sheetz?
