Destination & pricing confirmed before the truck rolls
A White Knoll, SC driver called a towing company after a timing belt failure on the highway. The company confirmed an ETA of 45 minutes. It became 90. When the driver asked where the car was going, the dispatcher said "the nearest shop" — which turned out to be one the driver had never used... The tow itself left a scrape on the front bumper. Nobody acknowledged it.
Same situation. Ellington confirms the destination before dispatch — the driver names their preferred shop, or Ellington recommends vetted options in White Knoll, SC. The driver knows the tow rate before the truck rolls. The flatbed is selected based on vehicle type... The shop knows the car is coming and why.

"I've been towed three times in my life and twice the car ended up at a shop I didn't choose. Ellington asked where I wanted it to go before they dispatched. That question alone made me trust the service. Driver arrived on time, did a condition check before loading, delivered the car where I specified. Simple and professional."
"My car was in a difficult position in a White Knoll, SC parking structure — tight clearance, awkward angle. The driver assessed it carefully before trying anything.
