When you break down on the road, you are at the mercy of locals, and you never know whether you're…read moregoing to get stiffed or not. Not so with these good folks! When the tow truck driver showed up and had his instructions from my insurance provider on where to tow the car, he said "no you don't want to go there, you want to go to Cheatwood's." So you hope he's not getting a kickback and that the garage is honest. These guys are! They told me straight up that it might take them a few days because the owner's mother was in the hospital and he was in and out. They were good at keeping in touch with me and giving me updates and when I got the car back and took it to my mechanic, he said they did exactly what he would've done and for less money! These are just really good folks! Wish I could give them 10 stars!

Our son was in an accident; a tree fell in front of him driving home from work late at night…read more Cheatwood was the tow service on call that night and called out by the State troopers. The trooper told my husband to go ahead and leave while I went with our son in the ambulance to get him checked out, that Cheatwood wouldn't take the car to our son's house, but would tow it to their lot. This was around 1 in the morning. They towed the car to their lot and didn't bother to call us any on the Thursday. We called on Friday, and were told that we could pick the car up before 5 pm, but if it stayed longer, there would be a $50 a day storage charge. We rented a trailer and went to pick up our Miata. When we got there, we were told the bill was over $400--$100 for two days of storage and $325 for the towing! That's nothing less than highway robbery. I've had my Class 8 tractor towed farther for less than that! We will NEVER use them again. If we have another incident of any sort and are told they are the ones on rotation, we will decline their services. And, we are telling all our friends about this and encouraging them not to use this company, either.

Excellent service. Had a blowout on the interstate and pulled up, and within 30 minutes we were…read moreback on the road. They were excellent people and beyond accommodating. Highly recommend!

Just this past Sunday afternoon, we were on I-20 passing through Heflin when we blew a gasket on…read morethe thermostat on our truck. Driving from Florida, we were about an hour away from our destination. Searching through the internet for 24-hour roadside assistance, I reached the Heflin Texaco. A young woman answered the phone, I explained the issue and she told me the driver was out on a call and either he or she would call me back soon with any updates. And, soon they did. The owner himself drove out to find us. He put our truck on the back of the tow truck, drove us to a hotel in Heflin and told us he would work us in the next morning. He had us in right away, told us there was a part needed about 40 minutes away and that he would go get it himself. Long story cut back a bit. He retrieved the part, his mechanic worked on it and we were back on the road, just a few hours later. Talking with my mechanic back home, in Indiana, he gave me his price for the repair, which was right on the mark with Mr. Cheatwood's. I don't think we could have ever found any better place to have done business. It was obvious they were sincere in wanting to help us and help us get back on the road. I pray no one the situation we were in, but if it happens to you, I hope you are close enough to call Cheatwood's Texaco in Heflin, they will take great care of you. Thank you Cheatwood's Texaco, Matt Oh, and I recommend the Mexican restaurant next to the only hotel in Heflin, just off I-20 in Heflin. Recommended to us my Mr. Cheatwood's. June 7, 2022
