HJ Towing & Recovery in
Carlisle (PA)

Harry was definitely the best tow truck operator I meant I see why they call them the wizard of towing by far gotta be the best guy around

Had to have our motor home towed today & HJ sent Brock to take care of things. He was knowledgeable, meticulous, professional, very agile, & swift with his every move & care taken. Our problem happened at 1pm. Til we made phone calls & found a cooperative towing company in HJ it was 4pm when Brock arrived enthusiastically ready to tackle our predicament. Thank you Brock, for taking such great care of our big baby!

I didn't catch the fella's name today, but whoever it was that was able to pull my Equinox out of a very crowded Red Rabbit parking lot is a legend! Skates and angles were critical and he absolutely did an A++ job! Bravo sir!

Jake and Jim great service so fast cool guys

These guys are horrible believe me Unfortunately i made an accident with my semi. I didn’t have any choice to call towing companies Of course cops have these guys there They came towed the truck to their garage Until here everything is ok After then we would need to restack our load transferring to another trailer. They said we can do it. Otherwise in our property we wouldn’t let you do it.(this is understandable as well.) We ll do it even they never do that job We said ok Then they started transferred load to another trailer and restacking. But they do it very bad. Cause the goal is charge more more money to our insurance company. They act like a thief. And of course they did a horrible number. If you guys don’t have to, don’t have them to help you. They not sincere, they liar.

My Husband was stuck at a travel plaza with a broke down Semi. Jake brought him another truck very quickly. He was very kind and courteous. We totally recommend HJ towing. Thanks Jake!

Thank you, HJ tone and recovery for sending Harry to me. This guy‘s mechanical abilities are untouched and unmatched. I’ve never seen a guy operate a blow torch like this guy thanks a lot. I’d give them 10 stars, but I can only give them five.

Absolutely amazing service! We broke down just ahead of a massive snow storm that was closing all the highways in the state. Not only did they move quickly, but had plans in place for what to do in a whole miriad of circumstances to both get us moving as fast a possible and keep us safe when the storm did hit. Andrew and Tracy were amazing and I can't thank them enough. On top of everything else, they realized I had left my headphones in their truck while I was warming up and got them shipped back home for me. One of the best experiences I have had with a towing company.

I was stranded on the highway with a fully loaded nine car hauler & the situation could have easily gone very wrong. Thankfully Harry from H&J Towing & Recovery showed up & completely turned things around. From the moment he arrived Harry was professional calm & extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to walk me through every step of the process explaining exactly what needed to be done to safely tow & transport a car hauler carrying nine vehicles. He carefully inspected the setup checked weight distribution secured everything properly & made sure all safety procedures were followed before moving anything. What really stood out was how patient & informative Harry was. He didn’t rush the job & made sure everything was done the right way to avoid any damage to the hauler or the vehicles. In a stressful situation his confidence experience & friendly attitude made a huge difference. Thanks to Harry’s attention to detail and expertise the car hauler was safely removed from the highway and transported without any issues. If you ever need reliable professional towing especially for heavy or complex loads I highly recommend H&J Towing & Recovery & ask for Harry. Outstanding service from start to finish.

Absolutely horrible! They were the first 24 hour towing company that showed when I googled. My husband hit a deer at 4am. I called HJ as I was on my way to him. Spoke with a woman who put me on hold for awhile. (Not a huge deal) But after all information was given she told me that it'd be about an hour till someone showed up to pick up vehicle for 500$ (pretty expensive) but it's 4am wasn't sure I had any other choice. After an hour goes by she called me back to tell me that she called the police and they are on their way and a dispatch guy is just now leaving to show up! Why would you not tell me you were going to call the police when I originally called and why wait an entire hour before letting me know that's what you did?! Was the point to try and hem someone up?!? She waited to tell me till the police were literally pulling up behind me. It was a deer that was hit? Not anyone's property or any other vehicle. I was clearly not leaving the scene as the car was disabled and needed towed. The car had a safely feature that will not turn on once any air bag is deployed. I was sitting there waiting for an hour with two kids and my husband for absolutely no reason, Just to be told we had to wait another hour. Why would you not say that when I called for a tow truck. You do this every day for a living and you don't inform that? Absolutely insane. Once she told me that info, I cancelled immediately and found an amazing small business who answered the phone right away in the middle of his sleep( you could clearly tell). And was there in 45 minutes! Shout out to Hirt towing and recovery!

Brian was absolutely fantastic, he was super kind and very efficient and quick! He made sure I got into my apartment before leaving and showed genuine care about myself and situation. I can’t recommend him or HJ towing enough. Truly a fantastic experience after and very unfortunate accident.

My truck shut down on a turning lane off 52 exit on I-81 S but Jake and Jacob came and saved me from that crazy situation. They were very professional , and came at a fast pace. Call for these guy Anytime you need roadside assistance!!

Harry and Clayton were excellent. I highly recommend HJ tone in recovery. For your towing and mechanical needs in the heavy industry. This guy Harry's got to be one of the best guys. I meant out here in the 10 years I've been doing it.

Harry and Clayton did excellent job highly recommend the company this guy by far has to be one of the best record drivers I’ve ever seen

Harry did a great job highly recommend him an HNJ towing is the greatest The dispatch girl Haley was such a nice person to work with. She should get a raise for the quality of work that she does.

Wanted to give a huge shoutout to HJ Towing & Recovery for the outstanding job on the move of our press brake at Foust Machine & Tool today! An even bigger thank you to the crew for braving the cold and using their skills and expertise to get the job done seamlessly and safely.

Clayton came to my rescue this weekend! He was sick and losing his voice but he got me back up and running appreciate these hard working guys! Would love to see him in a rotator! These guys work hard to keep all us going!

DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS. They are the shadiest, most unprofessional business I I have ever encountered. Go through and read the other 1 star reviews and you’ll see they do this frequently. They will tell you one price, charge another. They also refuse legal US tender and will only accept cash. I have filed a suit with the BBB as well as the US attorney general and reported them for violations against GAAP principles. DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS. The lady in the office is also extremely rude, argues, talks over you to not let you talk. She should not be the voice of a business in any manner. I have reported them to all the proper agencies with documentation.

Hi Everyone, I had a air dryer purge valvel leak on 10/10/2025.Logan showed up in 45 mins and was able to bypass that leak.He was professional, knowledgeable and quick to put me back on the road.The charges for their labor were very fair also. I really recommend them to everyone. Sorry for writing this review very late Logan!! Appreciate your help, Pennington transportation llc Palvinder wraich

Logan was super helpful when I had an issue with my car on the turnpike. He got to me quickly and took a look at my car before towing it to see if he could fix it on site. He ended up figuring out the issue and fixing it for me super quickly all while explaining to me what exactly had happened and how he was fixing it. He even had me drive my car around the parking lot to make sure the problem was fixed before leaving. He was super helpful and quick and I was very grateful!

Jacob, Harry and Logan are awesome!!! These guys definitely know what they are doing, along with being very professional. They got my rig out of the roadway and towed back to our company yard. Would definitely recommend them!!

Jake was awesome !! If I ever break down somewhere I would recommend him anywhere I am. Thank you again !

Driver for giant company and I lost steering and they sent out Tracey to bring me and the truck back. Very professional and great guy to talk to on the way back. He arrived quickly for being a late night call. He arrived and had the rig hooked up in about 15-20 minutes and we were on the way shortly after that. Definitely one of the quickest hooks ups I’ve EVER had. Definitely was a pleasant guy to talk to being a younger trucker and him sharing some of his stories which made the 2 hour ride back go quickly and for me to understand more of how it was.

Jake was awesome! When my rental truck broke down on the side of the highway at night, he got me off the road quick and towed to a mechanic. He came a lot faster than the rental company told me. Much appreciated for the help!

I had to call these guys after burying my 28,000 pound camper and truck to the axles. We had to get creative on how to get it out, since their heavy duty wrecker was sinking in the field too. They went back to the shop to get a skid steer with a winch box, and that did the trick. They had to drag me about 60 yards back to the main road. They initially gave me a range of cost and said it varies depending on how difficult and time consuming it is to recover the vehicle. By the time we got it out, I expected the price to be close to the top end of that range, but they kept it close to the low end and didn’t try to screw me on price. You people who complain about price need to realize they have hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment, expertise, and insurance to pay for, and they are there to help when no one else can. Jacob and Nick Crain were very professional and helped me out big time. I highly recommend these guys.

My truck went into d reg and Harry from HJ showed up with a spare tractor. He was friendly and had the spare truck ready for me in no time. The service was fast and he was extremely professional and a good guy to talk to. I would highly recommend Harry and HJ towing

I had a fuel leak under my engine Peterbilt 579. The amount of fuel i was leaking is outrageous. I could not see where it was leaking. I took my truck to HJ Towing. In less than 30 minutes. A tech went under my truck and was able to find the leak. I was surprised be cause the day before i took the truck to TA and the tech told me sorry he cannot see anything. HJ Towing ordered the parts. I got it fixed the next day. They found that i had a leak on my water pump and i was called by Mike and got it fixed. Alex at the front desk is amazing. She make me feel welcome and listen when she patiently wait for me to deal with the bank to pay the invoice. I had a great experience with the team. They have a friendly staff and respect is absolutely the best out of this place. We want more place like HJ Towing. Ps. They have a hotel next door that make very convenient for drivers with breakdowns. Thank you to HJ towing Staff. I did not feel alone the whole entire time i spent there
