- General Info
- CHEAP TOWING because we run with nice CLEAN older gas-powered Towtrucks (not the expensive/ dirty newer diesel-powered). Our trucks are cheaper to run and cheaper to maintain and I can afford to pass the savings on to you the customer! When I went to start this business I had in mind how I can run it with the most economical trucks I can find bearing in mind making my business inexpensive and desirable to the customer. I am a 47 year old Arcanum resident, and I worked nearly 20 years at G.M. when my Assembly Plant shut-down giving me the 140K buyout option to be able to start this business. I had the money to buy newer Tow trucks, but when I went looking for them I found that all of the newer trucks were ALL DIESELS THAT I COULD NOT REPAIR AND WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE! BIG SURPRISE!! I also found out that most of the major motorclubs (XXX) require the towcompanies ( for their " prestige "not keeping in mind you the customers cost?) for these bigger Towcompanies to keep newer trucks. Yes they are DRIVING UP YOUR COST OF TOWING! Example: one of these motorclubs a new towcustomer of mine was a member of (X) Motorclub, and called me directly for a tow to see my price from Kettering, Oh. to Arcanum, Oh. I quoted him a cost of $70. He thought that it would be cheaper to go ahead and use one of his 4 (X) motorclub tows instead and ended-up paying his (X) motorclubs towdriver a $90. co-pay SURPRISE I WAS CHEAPER THAN HIS (X) CLUB!!!! He no-longer is with (X) motorclub and is now a towcustomer of us directly saving $$$! These newer towtrucks come at your extra cost huh? Try us when you need a tow, and I also tow for and know all of the best/ best cost repair shops for your car in the area!

- Flatbed Towing is the best and safest and least damaging to your automobile, and at most "Tow" companies charge extra to do a flatbed tow "NOT US". Our average tow is around $50. or less! Our exhaust shop "ONLY REPLACES WHAT IS NEEDED!" Our goal is to save you $$$ and get you as a customer! We strongly urge our customers to buy NAPA auto parts they are only a few dollars more than the cheaper guy, but when you and your family are going at 60-70 miles per hr. "SAFETY IS A CONCERN" Our repair prices are low enough for you to afford NAPA "CALL US"

Can't say enough good things about JM Hot Rod Garage & Towing. I have used them several times for towing. Prompt, courteous service and VERY reasonable. I highly recommend him for your towing and automotive needs. Jerry, you're a life saver!!! Thanks again so very much.
When NO ONE else would respond to my insurance JM went the extra mile to get my van towed so I only missed 1 day of work. This guy really cares about his customers. Something very rare these days.

I really appriciate the kind words! Thanks! I will keep my prices low and won't gouge ya like the other tow guy's will!!! I run nice older trucks and that allows me to pass the lower cost to you!! If I get the newer trucks (which the motorclubs demand me too!!!) It will be on my terms and at my own cost, meaning I will have that luxury at my cost not yours the customer! thanks again. Jerry "Hot Rod"
Really a relief to find fast, professional service close to home!

I hope your car gets fixed fast and gets you and them adorable kids of yours back on the road soon! They seemed (the kids) to get a real kick out of watching me load the Honda! Don't get me wrong, but I hope you don't have to entertain them this way too often.L.O.L. Thanks for the good comments.
WOW! My van had been sitting in a non working condition because I was afraid of the bill and needed to get it to a mechanic to see what the damage would be. Not only did Jerry tow it at a reasonable price, he suggested a mechanic who's price was amazing and then he even called to tell me they were waiting on him with the part when he got there. I got my van back with 1.5 hours!! Bottomline...This place is AMAZING! and saved me a ton of money! Thanks Jerry!!!

I was in need of a new exhaust for my Ram 1500. I told Jerry that I wanted it to be somewhat quiet. So Jerry went to work and replaced my exhaust from front to rear.
Now it is perfect. It purrs, and only growels when I want it to. The price was unbeatable and the truck was done in a couple of hours, not days.
Thanks again Jerry my truck sounds great.

I was glad to be of assistance to you! and I try (mechanically) to do my best to save my customers a large mech. bill whenever it is a simple 2 second fix like yours was! Thanks for the kind words and input! You can rely on me being there for you in your time of need! Anytime!
Only tow truck driver i ever found that would answer his phone in the middle of the night, and show up to give you a tow. Lowest price, most reliable, Have and will recommend him to everyone.

Thanks Dee I'm trying really hard to get on with the motorclubs, but they are difficult to get on with and are almost like banks when you are trying to get a home mortgage loan they are giving me more hoops to jump through than I can afford(AAA) and I feel strongly that they are the driving force behind alot of expensive tow company's costs! I'll keep trying, but only in line with keeping my cost low to you! Thanks for your input and buisiness!
I am the owner of JM Hot Rod Garage and my/our mission is to be there in any way possible for you in your time of automotive need, and I realize in these hard economic times that being broken down in your vehicle is not a good time (economically ) for my customers and do my best to give honest and ideal solutions to your outcome in getting you back mobile!
Sometimes the solution is an inexpensive repair, sometimes it is to scrap your vehicle recover (recycling the Vehicle$$) and purchase another "I have the contacts (several dealers/ salvage yards) that will give you (not me) the best $$ for your car!
I don't set out to Rip Off my customers on the storage sceme and as an order of buisiness (as a policy here at HRG) do not charge storage on your vehicle for the first 7 days as a act of good faith to our customers!
I always assure my customers and ask them before they leave "Please call back if their is any problems I will be more than glad to make it right!
Last and not least our towing "MISSION" your best tow is on a flatbed towtruck and at most tow companys when they send the flatbed they charge you the customer more!!
WE ONLY HAVE AND WILL TOW WITH FLATBEDS!!!! and charge you hook truck rates! Your car doesn't need the towman to do it any more damage RIGHT?
GOD BLESS and please drive safely the kids are back in school!
