Roy was on his way back from a previous job farther south and happened to also stop by the Peg House. After talking with him he graciously decided to tow my car back to Eureka.

There was no cell service and it was getting dark but a neighbor made the call to AAA on our behalf.

He did and an hour later the friendly and most capable Cahliel showed up and secured our car on his trailer and we were home in another hour and a half.

About two weeks ago on a trip to see my oncologist in the city, the powers that be decided I hadn't…read morehad enough bad luck lately, and I ended up on the side of 101 standing (thank God) next to my upside down SUV with no clue of what to do next. During the next two weeks I asked everyone I could for a ride to go retrieve my belongings from my vehicle & finally found someone willing to drive me. I had to take the day off work because the tow yard is closed on the weekends and is only open during bankers hours from 8-5. I called when we started out to make sure they knew we were coming & the guy said no problem although he would charge a fee for coming to unlock the gate. I figured he might want $50 and was fine with that. When I finally arrived-and only 30 minutes after they'd closed-I called and told the guy we were there. He then told me he was eating dinner and would come open the gate for $200! I was dumbfounded and explained that I couldn't afford to pay that much & the man grumbled something else and hung up. About 10 minutes later a truck pulled up next to us and a rough looking guy growled out the window that we needed to get the f*** off his property and that we were causing his cameras to go off. When we tried to explain our situation he told us to get our sh** together and get off his property again. What happened to customer service? He wasted his time and gas to show up there anyway, would it really have hurt him to unlock the gate and allow us to grab the stuff from my vehicle? I live almost 3 hours away and now will have to try to figure out how to come back down here, again. As hard as it was the first time, I am not real optimistic about it happening a second time. With all the money that tow companies charge, I doubt it would have really hurt him to have a little compassion and try to be helpful this one time. I mean he obviously won't have a hard time figuring out some other way to squeeze the next guy who comes in after having hard times. What a jerk! I hope that someone else will call a different company and not give this man anymore business he doesn't appreciate.

While they got banged up, they fared better than their car. What a nightmare: 800 miles from home, car wrecked in the evening two days before Thanksgiving in a relatively rural area you don't know well. Apparently CHP called J&M to tow the vehicle, and they arrived promptly. The officer gave my family a ride back to their hotel, but they soon realized they had left a few things in their car. The next day--the day before Thanksgiving, we called J&M to see if we could retrieve some things from the vehicle, including much-needed medical equipment. They arranged for us to meet them in Arcata, and the time aligned with picking up a rental car in Eureka. The fellow we met was friendly and professional. Brother in law filled out a little paperwork, then we followed the driver to a second yard where the car was secured. He opened the gate and waited for us to retrieve my brother's personal items from the car. No one wants to get their car towed, or find themselves in a situation requiring that service. But our experience with this company was that they are prompt, direct, say what they do and do what they say. In an emergency situation like dealing with a car accident, that's about the best you can ask for.
