Blair’s Towing & Recovery

Great service, Cory was very helpful. Went out his Way to make sure my car was properly taken care of. The Firestone on fort myer was awful though.

Corey really got me out of a jam and jumped my dead battery after two other companies tried and failed. He also spoke to Audi on the phone for me to get some specs.

Battery died yesterday and a different service couldn’t get the car started. Called Blair’s to tow and instead they got it started right away. Corey was fast and personable. Great service.

Cory is the absolute best. Adorable too. I waited 4 hours stuck in the middle of 495 near tysons after an accident, and then Cory shows up after 1: not being told he’s dispatched until a little bit prior, AND 2: some crazy lady clipped his truck and took out his mirror. Super happy, nice, guy who was the best and took my busted car to some place in falls church. ((Only reason it’s 4 stars, is because I was waiting for 4 hours, but it wasn’t Cory’s fault, and I don’t know if I can blame the dispatcher/blair’s in general… maybe it was better world club, idk)). But yeah, Cory all the way

This was a very good experience with this company. The driver Chris was courteous, polite, and very professional. He called, stated when he would arrive and was early. He delivered my vehicle to dealership with haste and no issues. I would definitely use them again.

Cory was awesome he delivered a Toyota Camry down here to Caliber Collision. He was patient and worked with us on putting the car in a tricky spot. Was quick and professional. Even under pressure and in a time crunch he got the job done.

I was scared to death when my car slid down the icy hill. When the tow truck came he truly delivered. I knew from the first few sentences out of his mouth he was a genuine guy. He was extremely professional, quick and accommodating!!! I’m so grateful for his kindness after such a frightening night!!! I wish I knew his name but hopefully he reads this. Thanks again and may God be with you as you assist others in some of the worst conditions!

I don’t remember the name of the driver who towed my Jaguar XKR tonight, but he did an awesome job and was very careful not to cause any damage to the low front bumper. I rode along and the truck was brand new – nice and clean inside! They quoted me an hour of time and they were right on time.

Car broke down on the side of GW parkway. Geico contracted a Blairs Towing to schedule a tow. Estimated time was 1 hour. Tow truck took 2 hours, saying they got hung up on a previous call. Will not be contacting Blairs again, and will be following up with Geico regarding the issue.

John is the man! He came to Tysons to get my car with four slashed tires out of the garage on a really busy, rainy Saturday afternoon. He literally closed off the road to get it done. He really knows what he’s doing (New Yorkers are awesome). I would definitely get Blair’s to help me if I need a tow in the future and request John. Thank you!

Wow, I am very impressed. The guy who towed my car today couldn’t have been nicer. He was so quick and efficient. He even text me a picture of my car at the service place when he dropped it off to let me know it was there safe. Now, I have my go-​to guy in case I ever need anything.

Terry at Blair’s has come out twice to assist me with a stubborn Corvette. The first time was for a jump start and the second trip was for a tow to the dealer. Terry maneuvered his truck down a 4 floor garage, which has barely enough room for two smart cars to drive by each other, and then managed to tow my car out of this small garage flawlessly. He drove me to the dealer and even gave me a ride to the metro so I could get on to work. He was nice, professional, skilled, and fast. He showed up ten minutes before the one hour window I was given! Usually, help tends to arrive toward the end of the time estimate. What a welcome change! I was very impressed and hope that others can experience Terry’s assistance when they need it.

Quick, professional, and talented! My alternator crapped out and my car died, I just needed a quick tow to the mechanics. He had me off the side of the road, over to the mechanics AND the only parking spot that was available was one on a narrow road. He BACKED my car down this small road into a spot IN BETWEEN TWO CARS like it was nothin’! Offered to drive me home, so nice. I would use these guys again in a heartbeat– you should too.

They towed my Suzuki SV650 motorcycle. The guy strapped it down incorrectly (over the brake cable /​line near front wheel) and it was a miracle he didn’t actually damage anything. Blair’s guys need to get some training on how to tow motorcycles properly.
Also, more recently, the towing guy (Mo in this case) did a good job and was timely to arrive but didn’t want to give me a receipt (so I could claim with my insurance). It took me 3 weeks, multiple calls to Blair’s and I still didn’t get any receipt. When I drove up to the office, I had to wait 30 minutes so they could locate it.
UPDATE:
Thanks for the reply, R. The motorcycle tow was on Sat, Sep 27 2014, in the afternoon. It was from 17 S. Carlyn Spring Rd @ 1^st St S, Arlington.
The car tow was on April 8, 2015 around 8:30 AM from 5001 Seminary Rd, Alexandria.

I do wish I’d gotten the gentleman’s name who helped us out of a jam. He showed up promptly, pulled our van out (the vehicle was nose out into a busy street so it was a tad precarious) and got us on our way. Really helpful, very responsive, much appreciated at a stressful time.

I didn’t catch the dude’s name, but he helped me out quick. Someone who also made a positive review earlier about being connected through GEICO basically sums up my experience, so I don’t feel the need to write a lot here. Also, if a towing company was good enough for me to take the time to review it on this app, then you can be assured that they have exhibited superb service to my standard, whatever that’s worth!

These guys are definitely the best!!! When two towing services refused to come to our area (McLean) they not only came but even took our car out from the ditch! Very amazing and helpful people who know what they’re doing! Not a single scratch to the car from all the pulling and towing! Hats off to Mr. Kenny who helped us and saved us from the wretched snow! Thanks again guys!

What a horrible experience. I was told it’d be 1 ½ hours for a tow on Oct 15^th at 8:30pm, which I wasn’t thrilled about but accepted it under the circumstances. The 1 ½ hrs went by and no tow truck. Fine, it’s busy, it’s raining, I get it, but I gave them call to get an idea of when they’d arrive. I was told no more than 30 mins. 30 mins go by, I call again, told another 20 mins. Ok, I wait 30 mins for good measure, no tow truck, called again, told another 15 mins. Ok, I wait another 20 mins, call again, told another 5 – 10 mins. 15 mins go by, finally, after 3 hours, the tow truck arrives.
I don’t know how that’s an acceptable way to do business, but it’s definitely not getting my business again. I will say that when the driver did arrive, he was very friendly and helpful, but he’s innocent, he has nothing to do with the 3 hour wait. It’s not even the 3 hour wait that bothers me the most, though it definitely bothers me. It’s the lying, deception, or just plain ignorance with the repeatedly way off wait times. If you’re up front, I won’t hold it against you, but constantly being told one thing when another thing was happening is inexcusable.

My car broke down unexpectedly yesterday near Springfield Mall. I called Landmark Honda in Alexandria, which is where I have my vehicle serviced, to tell them I’d need to get the car towed there that afternoon — and asked if they could recommend a tow service. They gave me the name and number for Blair, saying that’s who they used for tow services. I subsequently called Blair who told me they would not come to Springfield since it was too far away (the location of my breakdown was approx. 6 miles from Landmark Honda). I was really surprised by this response — leaving me to surmise that Blair would only tow me if I break down in an area that’s convenient. The person I spoke with did give me the names of a couple of other tow services (although not phone numbers) and then said Blair MIGHT be able to tow me, but it would take at least 2 hours for them to arrive.
Fortunately, I contacted another service who arrived within a half hour of my call and towed me to Landmark Honda with little drama. But I’m really shocked that Blair would refuse to help me and of all things, imply that the location of my breakdown was too far out of the way.

Arrived sooner than promised, charged exactly as quoted over the phone, was courteous, competent, and careful with my car. Pulled me out of the mud in five minutes.
I guess people either love their towing company or hate them. I had a good experience. I hope you do too.
