A Quad Cities Customer We Helped
One icy December evening, a Bettendorf resident named Laura was returning from work when she lost control on slippery pavement near Middle Road and Devils Glen Park. Her SUV slid into a ditch, narrowly missing a tree.
Laura called Riverside Towing, and within 18 minutes, our driver Alex arrived. Using a winch and snow-rated tires, Alex safely extracted her vehicle without a scratch. Laura stayed warm in the cab while we completed the recovery and ensured she could drive safely home.
Her review:
“Absolutely amazing response time and care! Alex was kind, quick, and made a scary night manageable. Highly recommend to anyone in the QC!”
