    Broken plastic tab on seatbelt cover

    I got arrested, they towed my car with a dolly, just so everyone knows if they show up to tow your rear wheel drive car and its not a flatbed truck, they will be using your seatbelt to secure the steering wheel, be sure to have pictures before they do this as they do not take pictures of the insides of cars and they will not own up to their mistakes. A seatbelt is not the proper/professional way to secure a vehicle. The plastics covering my seatbelt are broken and the seatbelt belt no longer retracts. If requesting a tow for a rear wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicle ask for a flatbed for less chances of damage. They claim theres no way they could've broke it, the lady I spoke to was trying to dismiss what I was asking before she even got any details to the situation, she said "no one was inside the vehicle we never go inside the vehicles" but who they call the manager states they have been doing the seatbelt thing for decades so which is it? She also states "we take pictures of everything" then they cannot provide pictures when asked. It's only $150 in parts they took $300 from me to get it out, was towed not very far. Very unprofessional business how can you claim to be the king and not have the basic tools to hold a steering wheel in place for transportation.

    Tesla on a flatbed tow truck

    Wow I live in Dallas and had a flat in Waco on the ay to Austin. Justin Nix came to rescue and came literally within 10 minutes. He knew to bring a flatbed for the make of my car and was super quick to put in on the flatbed. We were towed to the closest hotel as all the tire shops were closed for the night. I would absolutely use them again for the quick turnaround, great customer service by and the price.

    Here is the bill.

    If I could give a negative, I would. On Tuesday, tge 21st of this month I was hauling a horse trailor with my horse. It fishtailed and hit the guardrail. My horse died on the scene in the trailor. The police called for 1 tow truck to get the trailor. After a long time Tow Kings came but they sent 2 TRUCKS AND TRAILORS APPARENTLY, clerical error im sure, but they charged me, thet took my trailor and my dead horse to Waco and my friend went the next day to get it. They charged me an unreasonab with e ammount to get my baby back.

    Side view of damage caused by Tow King

    It has been a few years since I've dealt with this horrendous company but after moving back into town I felt like I should leave my review. While I understand that this company is going to rustle feathers by having contracts with schools to tow students cars for profits, that isn't solely their fault. What is their fault is terrible service, both as a towing service, and with customer support. During my time at the local college, my truck got towed. It happens. What shouldn't happen is having the back end of my truck smashed in because their tow operators let the truck slip off the back of the rig and roll into a stationary vehicle. Then, the front office woman, who started off all forms of communication aggressively and heated, tries to blame me for their lack of workmanship, saying that it's my fault that the truck got towed, so it was my fault they damaged it. It took several calls to get any sort of insurance information from them after the initial hours of dealing with these extortion bandits in the guise of a reputable business. After paying for my damaged truck, I then had to get my insurance involved because this "business" couldn't be professional enough to handle the problem their driver caused, and I had enough of dealing with the she-devil that would answer the phone when ever I called to get the information. It took months to get this situation resolved. I would recommend any tow company but this one in the central Texas/Waco area unless you enjoy the metaphorical feeling of having teeth pulled every time an interaction has to occur with these folks.

    Guys were AWESOME!!! Professional from the start to the end. Phone call was great, got all the info they needed. Showed up on time. Handled the situation and left. GREAT JOB!! Highly Recommend!!!

    Poor girl who hit me. Her airbags didn't deploy like they should have! Tow King arrived fast and towed her car to a body shop!

    I called them several times. They did NOT come and only wasted my time. They are useless. Will never call them again!

    So I am over a year late writing this review. I can't believe I completely forgot to do it at the…read moretime we used Woody's. This company is downright phenomenal! My son's wrecked car was towed to Woody's tow yard after his accident awaiting further instruction from the insurance adjuster. Our insurance adjuster was being downright ridiculous. We wanted the car to go to a shop right there in Waco for repairs, but the adjuster insisted that THEIR tow company had to pick it up & take it to Waxahachie for the adjuster to look at it. After all of this happened & the car was delivered by the insurance company's tow truck to the shop, where it was bounced off of the flatbed truck because the driver couldn't get it started, it was discovered that the windows had been left down in one of Texas's famous spring storms. The inside of the car was completely flooded. Of course our insurance denied any wrong doing and placed the burden of proof on us to prove that neither my son nor Woody's were responsible for the windows being down. Enter the owner of Woody's, Justin. Justin took the time to sift through security camera footage and prove the windows were did indeed up when the car left their yard with the other tow truck. He was able to send me video clips of this proof. This was not Justin's problem. He didn't have to use his valuable time to help us. We weren't going to come after his business for damages as we knew good and well the windows were up when the car was in his possession. There was nothing for Woody's to gain or lose either way. Justin did what he did out of sheer kindness and the principle of the other businesses involved doing the right thing. I will never hesitate to use a business like Woody's that displays just plain good morals & values when doing business with them.

Regardless of how fast these people can change a tire, it'll may still take a bit for them to drive out to you. We were 20 minutes out of Waco and it took about 35-40 minutes for our person to show up. I'm not sure how many people actually work here since the person who took my call was also the person to come change our tire. I ended up having to ping him my location since I was having difficulty figuring out where exactly on the highway we were. He worked quickly, was knowledgeable about the situation, and was very friendly the entire time. When we were billed, he said he was an independent contractor so he negotiated the price with us. The total ended up being $75, which I think is pretty reasonable considering how quickly he worked and how much less expensive this was than calling a tow truck.
