So once upon a time, my boyfriend and I were driving across the country. We were driving along I-64 W and he was teaching me to drive in the snow. It was a stressful time as I had no clue how to drive in snow. I was getting the hang of it and suddenly all the lights on the dashboard turned on. He swore, I panicked slightly, and the car was grumpy. Turns out the alternator was slowly dying.
After driving along for a few miles we found an overpass to pull over under. Thank goodness for the overpass because it had been snowing, we hadn't seen any signs, and we had no clue where we were.
After some investigation we found this place online (thank goodness for smart phones too) and gave them a call. They were quite patient with us as we attempted to describe where we were without having any real clue. They informed us they could be to us in about 45 minutes or so, based on traffic, weather, and where we were located.
About 50 minutes later, a tow truck pulled up in front of us. The kind, old gentleman working cleaned off his truck and had us hooked up and off the side of the road within 15-20 minutes. He drove us back to the nearest town (Kimball) and gave us advice on where to stay that night and took us to a tow shop. They didn't take credit and we didn't have a check book so he drove the boyfriend to a nearby bank.
Really, Circle R was helpful and got to us as quick as they could. I would hope that I'll never need to use a towing service near Kimball, NE again, but if I did, I'd give these guys a call. read more
