Detroit Wrecker Sales in
Detroit (MI)

I got my first truck made by Detroit wrecker without knowing anything about them. Only seen videos of what they do. Drove all the way from Salt Lake to Detroit to work their magic. Oh my god did I fall in love the minute I walked in and saw my new toy!!! Next one… flatbed and I can only imagine the things I will be able to do all thanks to them! Mike and everyone on the crew are amazing! Thank you so much guys!!!!! The only shop I will always trust my truck in their hands!!!

This is my first Tow Truck that I’ve owned and has been by far the most reliable and efficient unit I’ve ever operated! There isn’t anything that I’ve come across that I’ve needed a different truck to accomplish the job. Mike and his team are amazing to work with, regardless of time of day or night! The motorcycle attachment is ridiculously easy to use and the fame forks came in clutch today! We have ran this lift hard and have not had any issues with it! Can’t wait to get more installed!

Detroit Wrecker Sales did an amazing job building the Lil Herc 2.0 setup on my GMC Sierra. The quality and attention to detail were top-notch. Everything looks clean, functions perfectly, and the build was done right the first time. A special shoutout to Mike super professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the whole process. He kept me updated and made sure | was happy with every detail. If you're looking for dependable towing equipment that's built to last, Detroit Wrecker is definitely the place to go!

I’m leaving a review, because of Mr. Steven Gardner’s erroneous 1 Star Review. I also, recently received a 1 Star Review from Mr. Gardner because he does not understand that if you press “Contact/Send Message” on a Meta FB Ad that Meta’s AI will send you an automated message since you asked it too. Mr. Gardner has recently left Four unaffiliated companies a 1 Star Review for the exact same reason. Unfortunately, when I responded cordially he took it as “harassment” instead of understanding that I was trying to deescalate his irrational anger.

Very poor people to do business with. I do not recommend any company that cold calls, or sends unsolicited messages. Especially after being asked to stop. They are predatory and very annoying. Vote with your money. Don't spend it on companies like this.

Thank you Mike and your team made me a dream Tow truck This little Hercules 2.0 it’s more than a wrecker, there is nothing I can’t do, work really smooth an any car even the one with little clearance a trucks, motorcycles. No word to express my gratitude for your tremendous job on my unit. Love you guys Thank you

3 years with my Lil Herc and this thing still brings joy to me when I get to show what it can do. I can go from the mud/off-road calls to regular stranded motorist and even clearing accidents for the local police and then clean it up and go run errands to even tow my race car to the track.(we even cleared a car from the track once when we were at a test and tune) If anyone is ever hesitant trust me it will pay itself off a soon as you can put it to work. Thanks Again guys can’t wait for my next Truck I’ll definitely get another unit!

Went in for for a faulty main seal on my up/down cylinder ended up replacing it for a newer updated cylinder. Now truck carry’s dam near a semi no problem stop in about 1pm left there about 2:30 great service the whole company is down to earth and they don’t bullshit when it comes to there systems lbs will buying from them for now on thanks Mike for the badass shirt to.

I picked up a fully built unit by Detroit Wrecker from a repo company. But when I reached out to Detroit Wrecker with questions about the truck & their product they treated me like I had been a loyal customer for years. From the jump, they’ve gone above and beyond to help me. Even on a Sunday, I got responses, support, and the kind of attention you just don’t expect unless you’re family. That’s exactly how they made me feel—like family. The next build? It’s definitely going through them. I want that moment where I pull up with a stock truck and hand it off knowing it’s in the best hands possible. Their passion, knowledge, and customer service are unmatched. Can’t wait to do business with them again, this time from start to finish.

I’ve been running a Detroit Wrecker unit on my commercial XL Ford for several years, covering hundreds to thousands of miles per tow—racking up nearly 200,000 loaded miles. The unit has held up impressively under this heavy use, and I often get compliments on how cool it looks. The only issue I’ve had is the front end feeling a bit light due to the unit being installed behind the axle, which slightly affects the ride. I also broke one pin after about 150,000 miles, though I couldn’t pinpoint why. I didn’t pursue a warranty claim given the mileage, but when I called Michael after 5 PM, he answered immediately and discussed solutions with me. While I haven’t always loved Michael’s answers to my concerns, his customer service is unmatched. Every text or call—day or night—gets a prompt response, even if I’ve interrupted his family time. These are handcrafted units made in the USA with incredible craftsmanship. If there’s a minor flaw, the exceptional support more than compensates. The price of parts or warranty details isn’t my focus; what matters is getting answers and solutions fast so I can keep making money. If you’re serious about towing, you’ll value Detroit Wrecker’s reliability and service. I hope Michael keeps this level of dedication going, but I also hope he gets a chance to retire early—he’s earned it!

My partner runs several Lil Herc 2.0 and my team and I convert them to run on propane and use gasoline as a backup. Brought the units in for service we had a couple questions since the trucks have been rolling over a year we have not had to do anything but regular PM. Mike and Joey gave us an answer within minutes and truck was back in service in under 1 hr. Now that’s manufacturers support. Thank you all at Detroit Wrecker Sales

I drove all the way from New York in a snowstorm just to bring my Truck to the best of the best! The team here is amazing and the work they do is incredible. You guys have a lifelong customer! Thank you, Mike and Joe!

Detroit wrecker is the best of the best I drove out from Chicago to Detroit for the quality of the work. The owner Mike has been extremely friendly & helpful and definitely has earned my business for life. From my future boom purchases to my maintenance needs I will gladly be taking the 6 hour drive without a second thought! “Top Notch” ! I definitely recommend them let’s keep this business “BOOMING” Thanks again to the Detroit Wrecker Team

One of the best products I have ran! They have put a lot of time and thought into the lift and it shows! I have ran many different trucks/lifts/beds/brands and this team is killing it! When you go there to have a truck built you will feel at home and they will take care of you!!! Great customer service and more importantly will stand behind the product and take care of anything “if” something goes wrong! If you are looking for the ideal equipment for speed, quiet, and workability this is the lift you need! Would recommend for anyone doing repos, PPI, recovery, insurance calls or a high value of work! Love, love, love the team and will be buying from them soon!!! Thanks guys!!!

We have been using the forklift attachments in both our yards for over 2 years. We seem to do our best at putting them through their paces. We move over 75 wrecked cars per day with the unit attached to a Kubota 640r wheel loader (Water in the rear tires) for extra counter weight. Have we Broken things? "Yes" Have things gotton worn? "Yes". Has the staff at Detroit Wrecker Sales Been Helpfull getting us back up and running " Absolutly Yes". I would highly recomend to anyone looking for an attachment for moving vehicles in their impound to purchase from this company.

Phenomenal service. Great communication and amazing products. I'm extremely happy with my purchase of the lil herc 2.0. Mike went above and beyond to make sure all special requests were met. Mike made sure that my Amerideck motorcycle lift and lil herc 2.0 would work together and I couldn't be happier. Thanks again to everyone to was a part of my build. I will definitely be coming back for more units. And I have my eye on a low loader

From Chevron Towing California, I called Mike about my arm open slightly automatic, even my truck in my driveway off position, so Mike caught my issued on phone and he sent me a new cartridge and when I open my old cartridge the seal is broken slightly , so Mike behavior was awesome and Detroit wrecker treat me like a family, Thanks again all of you

I have been dealing with Detroit Wrecker for the past 4 Years. I have to say their customer service is the best in the industry. I have never contacted them and not got a quick response no matter if its for parts or just a technical question. I have used other companies forklift attachment for years but the forklift attachment Detroit Wrecker builds is by far superior in quality and easily maintained. When I have had a problem, I have been able to contact Mike directly for any technical advise or to get parts delivered with very little down time. I highly recommend these people for all your wrecker needs.

Tried 2 manufacturers now and was scammed by both! Never ever have I been scammed by someone who can look you in the eye and straight up lie! Detroit Wrecker [Mike] Will say he is selling you the best and charges dearly for it but in reality, it breaks a ton and good luck trying to get warranty work done. I was essentially told to go pound salt after the 4th time I had an issue that never should have happened. 34k down the drain with my 100k truck. I will be buying from Zips or another reputable builder in the next weeks and lose 50k in the process.

We are currently running a 2015 Chevrolet 3500 HD LTZ that had a Detroit Wrecker Lil Hercules wheel lift installed by the guys at Detroit Wrecker when the truck was new. This truck is still running strong today with 209,000 Miles and has towed cars, trucks, and vans behind it with ease the entire time we have had it. We have never had a single problem out of this wheel lift. We cant wait to buy a new truck and put the Lil Hercules 2 wheel lift on it. Thank you for making a product worth being loyal to. Another must in any product for us is quality customer service. Mike and his team go over and beyond. Its rare to find such a great product and such exceptional customer service. We have never had a single question or concern that wasn't promptly handled by their team to our satisfaction. 10/10 guys! Thank you.

My experience with the Detroit Wrecker team has been simply outstanding as far as customer service, helpfulness, and accessibility. I have worked with Mike, Steven and Joey. They are all great. If they are busy, they will call you back. I will also go on to say that Joey ( Maintenance Mgr.) was always available when I needed him in troubleshooting a problem I had with my Lil Hercules. It turned out to be a simple fix but he patiently walked me through the troubleshooting process. All around great team of professionals!

The fellas did a phenomenal job on my truck! I love how easy and smooth, everything works.i get soooo many compliments on my boom and how it works. Everybody loves the remote feature. Everything works so smooth and quiet. I told everybody DETROIT WRECKERS did my truck and it was well worth it. And it's easy to maintain.THANK U GUYS SO MUCH!

I drove 23 hours from Florida to Detroit wrecker and I found myself with better results than I had in mind, the quality of the work, the quality of everything used in the electrical and hydraulic components of the best quality, everything was excellent, better than I imagined, the material of the lil herc 2.0 of the best quality and every perfect detail,, I was super satisfied with the service and punctuality!, the owner directly communicates and keeps you up to date with photos and videos of the whole process I recommend them 100%

It has been one year since the installation of my Lil Herc unit, I couldn’t have picked a better place to take my truck. I can go on all day about the unit. But the biggest thing is, from the time I dropped my truck off, I received updates via text along with pictures daily, until my truck was picked up. It felt good to feel like I was actually there with them through the build. Communication is top notch, the unit has paid for itself 3xs. And the only problem I’ve had is ,that I don’t have another one to make more money!!! Lol 10/10 recommend for anyone, looking to stay in business or start a business. My load time with straps is roughly 3 minutes. In and out. Thanks Mike, Laura, and staff!!!

When you look at the price your first instinct is to just keep swiping left. That’s what I did. A valuable lesson well learned because in this industry you get what you pay for. This by far is the best investment for my yard when it comes to moving vehicles around. Originally we had bought a $3000usd version from another manufacturer. Lasted a year before I had to start reinforcing and fabricating weak points in their model. Hands down I’ve used Detroits Gladiator for a day so far and strength and quality is Detroits middle name per my standards. I’m content on saying this was built to last. As long as you take care of it. Grease is my best friend. But to justify the price you gotta think how much money you’ll save in fuel and damage on equipment that’s made to make you money on the street. Thanks again Detroit Wrecker. You got my vote.

The best wrecker sales in US. Over 3years mine is still working with no issues

Love our Little Hurcules we purchased and installed it is an amazing product would love to have 5 more couldn't ask for a better built piece of equipment and the owner is a great guy to work with
