"I wish words could express what a lifesaver Jordan at Wink's is! I was stranded on Christmas morning on 74 and all the other "24 hour" towing services didn't have drivers! He was punctual, knowledgeable and very helpful! Hopefully, I don't need this service again, but I highly recommend to anyone that does! A Christmas blessing. thank you again!" - Barbara Hunsinger

"My car got stranded on Christmas Day, our driver Jordan was very polite and was quick to get us back to our destination. He also gave me some helpful info to look into regarding what most likely caused my car to stall. 10/10 would recommend" - TheReal JiggyFr3sh219

"Winks Towing rocks! The tow truck driver, John, got my car started for me in less than 15 minutes after I had tried everything I knew to do for 4 days. Most definitely would recommend Winks Towing to anyone & everyone. Ask for John, he was the hero here" - Rebecca Chrisman
