Get a price before using!!! We found out after it was too late!

Minimum charge for heavy trucks is $300. His price for us was $600 to pull a truck out - not even a tow.

We've worked with many companies before all over the state - and his prices are the most expensive for sure!

They towed our car and went thru it and stole about 130 dollars in a change jar.. Guess you can't trust anyone in the towing business.. Maybe platts themselves didn't steal but maybe one of there workers did... Went from highway right to platts so all signs point to them..
