Upfront Pricing – No Games, No Surprises
Some tow companies love playing the “mystery pricing” game—you don’t find out the cost until your car is already on their truck. Not us. Nathan’s gives you honest, upfront pricing before we hook up your vehicle. No hidden fees, no nonsense, no shady business. You deserve transparency, not highway robbery.
We Tow Farm Equipment – Because Tractors Break Down Too
Got a tractor that just quit mid-field? A combine that had a meltdown during harvest season? We tow farm equipment of all sizes. Because your fields don’t plow themselves, and waiting for help shouldn’t cost you precious time (or crops).
Construction Equipment & Storage Containers – We Move the Heavy Stuff
Need to move a shipping container? Tiny home? Or did your skid steer decide to roll into a ditch? We’ve got the heavy-duty towing power to haul construction equipment, mobile offices, storage containers, and more. If it’s too big for a pickup truck, it’s a job for us.
Pulled a “Fast & Furious” Off a Mountain? We’ve Got You.
If your truck, trailer, or fully loaded work van is dangling off the side of a cliff like an action movie gone wrong, call us. We specialize in rescuing full-size enclosed work trailers, semi-trucks, and vehicles that somehow defied the laws of physics.
We’ll Even Fish Your Car Out of a Lake – Seriously
We’ve seen it all. If your vehicle took an unexpected swim, we’ll recover it—no questions asked (except maybe, “How did this happen?”). Boats, ATVs, jet skis, and even full-size pickup trucks—we’ve pulled them all out of the water.
Stranded, Stressed, and Slightly Embarrassed? We’ve Seen Worse.
Let’s be honest—no one wants to call a towing service. If you’re calling us, it means something has gone horribly, laughably, or tragically wrong. But don’t worry, we’ve seen it all. From cars stuck in places physics says they shouldn’t be, to people who swear their vehicle was “just fine a minute ago,” here’s a collection of some of the most ridiculous, side-splitting, and oddly heroic tows we’ve done.

The “I Thought It Was in Park” Classic – Tow Saves the Day
Listen, we get it. You’re in a rush, you throw it in “P,” and next thing you know, your car is casually rolling down your driveway like it just quit its job and decided to move to Florida. We’ve rescued countless cars from hedges, fences, creeks, garages, and once, straight out of someone’s swimming pool.
🚗 Lesson learned: If your car starts moving without you, it’s not possessed. You just forgot to shift gears. Call our towing experts. We won’t judge… out loud.
Cows, Chickens, and an Angry Goat – The Wildest Farm Towing Jobs
Farm life is wild, and so are some of our tows. We once got a call to tow a pickup truck that had been overtaken by a rogue goat. It refused to leave the hood. Another time, we had to tow a trailer carrying a bunch of very displeased chickens (they clucked angrily at us the entire ride). And don’t get us started on the time a farmer needed his tractor pulled out of a pond. We assume the pond won.
🚜 Moral of the story? We provide wreckers to rescue farm equipment , and related machinery.

“I Swear That Bridge Was Taller” – Towing Gone Vertical
If you’ve ever wondered exactly how tall your moving truck is, it’s best to figure it out before attempting to drive under a bridge. Unfortunately, one unlucky customer learned this the hard way when their rental truck became permanently bonded with an overpass. We spent hours un-stuffing that poor vehicle.
🚛 Bridge 1, Truck 0. Need a professional tow service after a bridge-related mishap? Call us before attempting a rematch.
The GPS Told Me To… Oh No.
We love technology, but sometimes, your GPS wants to ruin your life. We once towed a guy who blindly followed his navigation straight into a lake. Another poor soul got routed onto an abandoned logging trail, where their sedan promptly gave up on existence.
📍 If your GPS tells you to drive somewhere that looks questionable, maybe… don’t. But if you do? Call our tow pros, we’ll bring the tow truck (and maybe some common sense).
Boats Belong in Water. Trucks Do Not – Recovering Waterlogged Vehicles
Boat ramps are for launching boats—not your truck, not your trailer, and definitely not your entire weekend plans. We’ve towed more submerged trucks than we can count. Nothing says “Oops” quite like watching your vehicle gracefully sink while you scream, “NO NO NO NO!”
🚤 If your truck has ever taken an unexpected swim, don’t worry—we tow waterlogged regrets too.
Tiny Home, Big Problem – When a Tow Goes Wrong
Look, we support tiny home living. But if you decide to move yours without actually securing it to the trailer, you might find yourself watching your entire house roll away without you. One unlucky customer learned this when his tiny home disconnected mid-transit, causing a very unique (and very viral) traffic jam.
🏠 Rule #1 of moving a tiny home: Make sure it wants to go with you. If not, call Nathan’s Body Shop & Wrecker Service team to do it right.

The Case of the Stuck Porta-Potty
It started as a normal tow job until we arrived to find a full-sized porta-potty trailer tilted at an angle no human should ever witness. Apparently, the driver took a corner too fast, and the entire setup decided to attempt a backflip. The best part? Someone was inside. They emerged looking like they had seen the horrors of another dimension.
🚽 Needless to say, we towed it, but we kept the windows rolled up.
The Horse Trailer That Broke Free
Most trailers are meant to follow the truck pulling them. This one had other plans. Somewhere along the way, a customer’s horse trailer detached and kept going—on its own. It was last seen rolling majestically down a hill, like a scene from a low-budget action movie. Don’t worry—the horses were safe, but the trailer? Not so much.
🐎 If your trailer thinks it’s a runaway train, call us.
The UFO Landing? Nope, Just a Stranded Food Truck
Ever seen a food truck land on a rooftop? Neither had we, until we got the call. A gust of wind combined with poorly set parking brakes turned this taco truck into the world’s first low-budget space program. Tacos everywhere. Salsa carnage. But don’t worry, we towed it down safely. And yes, we took payment in burritos.
🌮 Lesson learned: Gravity works. Secure your food truck before liftoff.
When Your Ride Goes Sideways on the Tail of the Dragon… Literally.
Listen, we’ve seen some things on the Tail of the Dragon. We’ve pulled sport bikes out of trees, Jeeps out of ravines, and once—no joke—an entire Winnebago wedged between two curves like a cork in a moonshine jug. But the real moment of glory? That one feller from Tennessee who somehow got his lifted F-350 on top of a guardrail like it was balancing on a tightrope.
All we heard echoing through the mountains was: “HAAAYUP! SUMBODY HAILP MEHHH!”
And brother, we answered the call. So if your “good idea at the time” turns into a roadside disaster, don’t you worry. Nathan’s Body Shop & Wrecker Service has the skills, the gear, and the experience to get you out of whatever legendary predicament you’ve gotten yourself into.
Give us a holler. We’ll come get ya—no judgment (well… maybe just a little but we’ll make you laugh!). 🚛💨
No Matter How Weird Your Situation Is… We’ll Tow It.
Whether you’re stuck in a ditch, wedged in a parking garage, or somehow managed to get your RV stuck between two buildings (yes, it happened), Nathan’s Body Shop & Wrecker Service has seen every kind of disaster.
Call us and let’s get your situation un-screwed. No judgment. Just professional tow services and a tow truck.
