What clients say about Alexander's Towing in Hanksville (UT)
My son was having car problems in the middle of nowhere and Alexander’s Towing was absolutely wonderful, got my son safely on his way again. So grateful.
I was recently in Utah on a motorcycle trip. I overestimated the bikes range and was basically out of gas 25 miles from where I was staying and had no cell service. Then a miracle happened, Andy was helping another person with their vehicle and had extra gas in the bed of his truck. I added a little gas and he said “ Fill it up, you’re a long way from anywhere and you don’t want to get stranded out here.” Unbelievable kindness and generosity. I can’t recommend Alexander’s enough. Thank you!
Pulled our van out of the ditch at night and got us a ride back into town and contacted the Motel for us. Very kind and helpful. Saved our butts! Appreciate you all so much!
I locked my keys in my truck at 8 am on a Sunday and Andy was onsite in less than 15 minutes. He popped the door right open and took good care of our truck while doing so. He was also extremely kind. 10/10 service, responsiveness, and friendliness.
These guys are awesome- truly kind and genuine people at this local tow spot. I worked with Andy and Garrett and they both went above and beyond to make sure I was okay and that my car got taken care of. If you are stranded and need help this is the place to call!
This is the kind of small business you want to support. Andy, who owns the place and his last name is Alexander. Answers the phone himself. You can text this number and he is super responsive. He's honest he works hard, has got a good team and gets the job done and has been doing it for over 30 years without ever losing a vehicle. Has some good stories as well. He got us out of a ridiculous situation. Check out the pictures.
Muddy river, 13 miles from the road. Got stuck in the evening, started walking. Got a ride into town, contacted Andy, and next morning we were out. Best misadventure ever. Andy got me out in little time. Great company on the way out. Andy let me clean off my truck while he went out on another job.
Andy is knowledgeable, skilled, a really nice guy, and respectful of us, who get stuck in the San Rafael desert. He, and his assistant, were quick to find me, they pulled me out of the sand, and gave me pointers so that I can navigate the sand better in the future.
Our Sprinter RV fell into limp mode in the middle of Utah SR95. We made it to the campground in Hanksville, desperate as we expected no one out here who can fix a Sprinter. We were recommended to contact Alexander’s Towing. Andy showed up quickly and checked the engine. He soon found the cause of our problem. Next morning he located the part in Salt Lake City. Shipping it by UPS would have taken too long - in his opinion- so he gave me his truck to drive to SLC to buy it there. Upon my return Andy had to leave to help someone with a medical emergency on I70. So he called a friend to install the part. The RV was running again and when we tried to pay him next day, he responded that he didn’t do much, I should give him what I feel is right!! - which I did, of course. If you break down within 100 miles of Hanksville, in the desert or on I79, make sure you call Alexander’s Towing.
While traveling from Coyote Gulch trailhead near the end of Fortymile Ridge Road (off Hole-in-the-Rock near Escalante, Utah), our vehicle became stuck in the deep sand. After spending the night in the desert, we were able to contact Alexander's Towing and explain our predicament to him. Andy knew exactly where we were stuck and left immediately to come help us, even though we were 4 hours away. He was there in record time with cold water and Gatorade. Andy calmly assessed the situation and had us winched out in 10 minutes! He followed us out to the main road to make sure we had no further difficulties. I would definitely recommend Alexander's Towing. Andy certainly helped us to get back to the kind of vacation adventures we could enjoy!😊
Alexander Towing was a life saver for us. We got stuck in sand drifting across the road on our way to Horseshoe Canyon (be careful on this road). Alexander got us through the sand so we could take the hike and came back the next day to get us out. He’s professional, reliable, and very capable - everything you want in a towing service.
Wow! Our brakes went out on our way from bullfrog to Hanksville and Alex happened to be at Stan’s and someone suggested we ask him to look at our car. He was so professional and so kind. We went from having to stay a night or two in Hanksville to being on the road again safely. He took a few minutes to diagnose the issue and was luckily able to fix it without having to get any new parts. He didn’t act like it was a bigger deal than it was and didn’t act like it was any trouble at all to help us. Almost made us want to move to Hanksville he was so nice! We didn’t have any idea how we could possibly thank him for not only getting us back on the road quick but safely and he just seemed happy to help. The world needs more people like Alex!
Excellent place. Very helpful. I had a flat tire in Hanksville last week and a problem with the spare. This area of Utah is very remote. Alexander's responded immediately and went out of their way to assist. Highly recommend.
We ran into an issue with our tire and the spare out in the Swell. I somehow had just enough cell coverage to get a hold of Andy at Alexander’s Towing.
Andy was able to get us back on the road and escorted us to pavement. It’s clear he has a ton of experience helping people in tough situations. If you’re near Hanksville and need help, don’t hesitate to reach out to Andy.
Alexander helped pull out our Sprinter van, which became stuck in the soft sand outside of Hanksville. After giving up on AAA, we gave him a call. He arrived within minutes, late on a Friday night, and got us on our way quickly. His calm demeanor and obvious knowledge was very reassuring in a panic-inducing situation. So thankful for his help 🙏
Andy was extremely helpful and went above and beyond in helping us with our breakdown. After being towed he made phone calls and did troubleshooting after finding nearest mechanic shop was 2 hours away and couldn’t see us for a week. Andy found us the part, drove and picked it up and installed it. He even lent us his car to go buy a new air filter after noticing a mouse had chewed through the air filter and made a nest which caused our break down. We highly recommend Andy Alexander towing! We feel so fortunate to have found such an honest, dependable and trustworthy person to help us when our camper van broke down in the middle of nowhere.
I got myself in a major pickle on the Henry mountains over the weekend. I made a stupid decision to attempt to cross a frozen creek, it didn't look terrible but it actually ended up being far worse than I thought. My vehicle busted through and became highcentered. Not to mention it was getting dark and starting to freeze over again. Luckily, I ran into a guy who attempted to pull me out. He mentioned to me that I wasn't the only one who became stuck in that ice that day either. Our recovery attempt failed! Miserably. When ice starts to refreeze, it's no joke. This guy gave me a ride to hanksville and I was able to get ahold of Alexander's towing. Let me tell you, hands down, Andy is a top notch guy and he had all the tools and equipment to get the job done. He got me out but it was no easy task. I was seriously STUCK!!! We worked for it but we won. If you're ever in a pickle, give this guy a call. He's Definitely worth every penny. I owe him big time. Thanks buddy. Highly recommend this guy.
We had a breakdown with our European Renault van. Andy was there immediately and actively supported us for over a week until we finally got the right spare parts from Europe. We were even allowed to camp in his car park. He is also unbeatable in terms of price!
We are more than satisfied and grateful with his performance. Great guy, great work!
We have never experienced such great service anywhere as here.
Absolutely recommended!!! 😁 Thanks for everything, Andy!
Got our Camper stuck in some sand just outside hanksville and called Alexandre. He was out to us within 5 minutes, very nice guy and gave us a very reasonable price and pulled us out in no time. Highly recommend!
We were dumb and forgot our jumper cables on this trip and lo and behold, our battery died at Moon Overlook!
After 5 rental vehicles came by with no cables, we were able to contact Alexander and he came out as soon as he was able to (he was in a totally different town on another job).
He jumped us and then hightailed it back to Hanksville to see if anyone had a new battery…which no one did and relayed that by phone, so we headed to towards another town.
He was very professional, friendly and sent a receipt to my phone, so I can file a reimbursement to my insurance company. If you need his services, call him!
Andy knows exactly what he’s doing and probably in any possible situation. He navigated a 7 hour round trip recovery of our sprinter van in a desolate area on a dirt road without a GPS. Got me unstuck in less than 10 minutes and followed me to make sure I could get to safety. We encountered a few obstacles along the way but he always had a plan (and plan b and plan c). He even had his shovel out to build a ramp to save 2 hours of driving around a washout. I had full confidence we were getting out no matter what we encountered. Highly recommend!!
Our truck broke down in between Hanksville and Green Riverwhile pulling our boat back home from Lake Powell. Basically stranded in the middle of nowhere, see picture. Andy and the other guy we spoke with were both very helpful and professional. They were able to give us a rough estimate on when they could pick us up and Andy was able to tow us all the way to Salt Lake City. His rig was well taken care of and seemed to easily handle both the truck and boat trailer all the way there.
We were in a jam and Andy came through. 100% would use his services again and highly recommend him!
The awning on our class B RV was blown loose by the wind. Alexander’s towing had us taken care of in about an hour, and we were 7 miles outside of town in hard blowing wind and heat. Excellent service by Mr. Alexander. Thank you!
Great experience! When I called Alexander stranded on the side of a dirt road near Hanksville with a bad jack, he had just got to Torrey and turned all the way around to come help me! He got me on my way in no time, gave me a place to go get my tire fixed and offered to fix it if they weren’t available. He wasn’t bad on the eyes either lol. 10/10 overall experience!
