My brothers car was repoed from this place and thousands of dollars worth of equipment and shoes were in this car, mind you this place is over a hour away from where we live and we both work jobs and I have a baby so time is limited. We spoke with them on the phone multiple times about how we could come get our stuff and they told us whenever we can that's fine, never ever communicated with us that we only had 60 days until today when I called and they told us that all of our stuff was just thrown out.
Extremely extremely extremely unprofessional place would never ever ever work with them even if I needed a tow truck! Owner is a terrible guy would never ever do business with such a terrible and unprofessional man!

They did a fantastic job in recovering a vehicle for me and were even able to get the key to the vehicle back. I would highly recommend them.

This company blatantly ignored and drove right past a visitor requirement sign at a FAA repair site. The big red and white sign states "FAA Overhaul and Repair Site. Stop and proceed directly to the main office. All visitors and vehicles entering this site beyond this point must register and state the nature of business. Failure to do so is a violation of Homeland Security and subject to punishment and penalty under Federal Law." I wouldn't use them.
Their truck was caught on camera ignoring and violating this requirement. As required by my company, They are now being reported and placed on several federal agencies watchdog lists as a potential threat to Homeland security. Yes, they are now potential terrorists. This means all their customers will be under scrutiny as well. So if you don't want your organization to pop up on a " Federal Watch List." Use another company who won't violate federal law. Unless you want to potentially be labeled a terrorist.

I delt with the boss be4 for someone car to be taken out he was great even tho repo companys suck but if u dont pay its not there fault but helping another friend and the worker cant call the boss to take 180 when they want 280 n another night will add +40. Like really it took a repo so much time to tow a car when it should have been 100 on a pick up n 40 for one night. Worker says been here 2 nights but truly one because it was picked up yesterday. Workers need to have some balls to talk to they boss aka C.E.O

I needed a new key for my 2001 VW Jetta because I broke off the only copy that I had in the door. Crompton came to my house, removed the key piece, and took it to his shop. My key had been copied so many times that he couldn't copy it. He worked some key miracle (that the dealer had quoted much more for) and came up with a factory fresh copy of the cut, came back, and programmed the keys to my immobilizer. Can't beat the expertise that the dealer charges much more for, but where you need it! Thanks!
