Customer Reviews
Verbatim Drivers, On the Record
Reproduced verbatim from published customer reviews, with the reviewer’s verified name and month. Nothing written by marketing.
“My 1 ton truck died at work. The responder from Buster's was on scene 10 minutes quicker than estimated. Was unable to fix the problem but provided a diagnosis. Next day I had the larger tow truck on scene to take it to the mechanics. Total pro. Quick, careful and efficient. I totally recommend these guys if you need roadside help or a tow.”
“If you're lucky enough to get Greg in Truck 36, you are in good hands! Had an incident where I got too close to a parking lot divider and my passenger side tire went a foot off the ground onto the divider. Called Busters, and Greg came within 15 mins. Greg executed a perfect vehicle recovery and there was zero damage to my car from the incident/tow.”
“I needed a jumpstart and they were there in about 15 minutes. The driver was really helpful recommended a type of battery to change to and made some suggestions on how to do it myself. Great service would use them again for sure. I dealt with Ramin from Truck 07.”
