What reviewers report — the concerns
Other directories bury these. We think you should read them before you call. Every concern below comes from the reviews it cites.
Red flag
One credible 1-star review from a self-identified former employee alleging systematic reliability problems: unreliable response times (promised 30 min, delivered 2 hours), vehicle damage, and improper equipment handling
“Very unreliable company destroyed people cars”
Red flag
Score variance of 27 points is unusually high, indicating extreme inconsistency across reviews or potential review authenticity issues
Data quality issues: Multiple reviews appear unrelated to plumbing (towing company reviews, gaming references, emojis only), suggesting poor review filtering or business name confusion

The rating picture
Newest review in our sample: Jan 2026.
Across platforms
Google 4.4/5 (30 reviews) vs. Yelp 5/5 (3 reviews) shows Yelp overly positive; gap likely due to Yelp filtering out towing/non-plumbing reviews that skew Google average downward. The negative former-employee review (1-star) appears only on Google and directly contradicts the consistent 5-star pattern, suggesting selective positive review promotion or authenticity concerns.
