Just had a 2022 Buick Encore up on a lift and the electric emergency brake is on the front wheels! Never seen an emergency brake on the front wheels before.

Everybody in this business has a "Friends & Family" program I'm sure...LoL Last week I had my Cousin's youngest daughter get her license on a Friday afternoon...Saturday morning she went to fill the tank and chose the "Green" pump.... 🤢 Yep...a full tank of diesel... I told her it wasn't her fault...Young, "Woke" liberal kids these days are taught to go for the green every time...LoL One of my mechanics broke down this morning on the way to work... Spit the rear ujoint out of the truck, luckily it didn't hurt anything else...

Another one of our "Ventures" is a Pet Food Pantry that we run out of the shop. We have a container trailer filled with miscellaneous pet foods of all kind that the Ladies disperse every month to under privileged folks in the community... At least once a month our guys pick up truck loads of products donated by Walmart and others. We don't know what we are going to get but it's usually 6-8 pallets. Then when we get extra supplies such as Kitty Litter, we give it out to all of the local shelters in the county & surrounding area. Just another way to support the people that support us.

Unknown member Created this topic on Tow411 in June 2008: Got a call for this Triumph TR6 that had a rear flat. I had to straighten the wheels & the fancy spokes caught my eye. When the lug nuts were not visible, I knew I was in for dollies. Had to short shoe the wheel lift and the dollies. Don't see too many spinners around anymore. The shop was mighty impressed that I put it on dollies...LOL Thanks for looking! P.S. PGhrist, I got a little more of my truck in the second pic. Southerstar1 said: Wire wheels with knock off spinners like that are still out there but widely used o…

Just posting a few jobs that the guys have sent me... a 64 Tbird we took out of storage and towed it to a repair center 25 miles away. I went up with my little wrecker to scoop it out of a tight garage/driveway, out to the road so they could load it. Rob picked up our tractor from the house and brought it back to the shop. We keep this on our property for ground maintenance and snow removal at the houses. Don't figure it's going to snow anymore so we can do some property work at the shops with it for a while and pack the snow blower away. While they were out, they picked up this food truck coming b…

Got a call last weekend from one of the private communities we do all the work for. They needed a Nissan Altima that's been sitting on the shoulder of the road for 3 days impounded. Knowing this area...I figured I was getting some frickin abandoned "club"... Nice surprise when I pulled up...told the officer I was pleasantly surprised to find a 2022 Nissan! I guess the operator was arrested 2 days after he bought the car! Well anyway...pretty sure someone will be looking for this...LoL

We get quite a few of these and they are always a "PITA" to work with... Blades down & didn't run so Rob used skates on the fork tips to load... Back to our shop for repairs.

Highway 84 east in Oregon is now the clean up site of about 140 miles of crashes and 100 plus vehicles. I’m 120 miles from where the pile ups start but I received a call to assist in it last night. Mentally and physically I was not capable to be a part of anything that wasn’t simple and short last night. I’ve only had two days off since early in December I also have an automotive shop and I’ve had one to two guys off the last five weeks and I’m still performing tows 24/7 by myself so I declined and turned my phone off. I could have been a bigger liability than help. how does working a scene like this go. It looked like there’s a lot of damaged vehicles, do the p…

With all due respect...I got to say that some of the folks driving U Haul equipment are at the bottom of the gene pool... This was a call the other night @ about 9:00... Uhaul : Customer stated that there is something wrong with the trailer and it disconnected from his pick up. The customer was very annoyed and didn't want the trailer any longer... This is how we found it...

Had a Uhaul the other day that knocked the rear differential out of it. I went down to get it and found that they pulled it off the edge of their driveway on a hill. They told me they plowed the back out so I could "easily" get to it... But when I tried to move it back, it was stuck. Makes you appreciate that this T Head can load at a full 90 deg turn... I can appreciate that they thought they were being helpful too... Getting used to my camera...I was never the "self Loader" guy... LoL Went to suck it in and the rear decided to lock right up. Had to pull both axles at that point...
