Posted on Google Amy FiorentinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chase is the man, we swamped our truck in outerbanks and saved us! We spoke with him and he is amazing. His staff is top notch. Thank you chase and staff!Posted on Google Chandler CornellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was loading my truck up with my toddler sleeping in the car seat and shut the driver door and the doors locked. It was 10:30 pm called 911 to which they sent chase @ North Beach recovery. Chase was super fast and efficient and has the doors back open in 2 mins. Highly recommend them for your needs while on the 4x4 or surrounding areasPosted on Google Martin ChavezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took my 4x4 RV on the beach. Ended up with an overheated transmission and lost all the fluid. The guys here had me out by the end of the day and we're able to get the RV moving again in a couple days! Highly recommend!Posted on Google M OTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Above and beyond service! Highly recommend!Posted on Google Jace ValverdeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My valve stems were corroded and I couldn’t get my valve stem caps off to air down. Chase is the man, he made it to me in quick timing and got my valve stems off no problem! Great guy and highly recommend.Posted on Google Laura FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. HIGHLY recommend North Beach Recovery!!!! Chase was fantastic. We were staying at a house on the 4x4 beach without a 4x4 vehicle, great price on parking at his lot for the week, he transported us and was BEYOND accommodating. Very easy to work with and would DEFINITELY use his services again!Posted on Google Greyson ColeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best experience with Chase! I found a nail in my tire while on vacation in Corolla, and he came right to our rental house. He was incredibly communicative from the moment we called, arrived quickly, and had the tire patched in no time. He even topped off the air in the tire at no extra charge. Professional, knowledgeable, and an absolute gentleman. If you find yourself needing roadside tire service in the Outer Banks, Chase is the person to call. He completely turned a stressful situation into an easy one. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Latasha HollowayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company does not deserve such a high rating. I called for assistance, and their representative answered “Talk”. No Hello or stating the company name…very unprofessional. Also the verbiage on where not to park is just ambiguous enough so they can get away with charging close to $300 to remove a boot. Obviously a “money grab” especially during the summer season in Corolla. Then showed up an hour after the time stated the rep would arrive. We rented the property through Village Realty and made sure not park in the parking space overnight.Posted on Google Elizabeth MangioneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We rented a van from Enterprise and was told it was AWD (which I now realize is much different than 4WD) and got 100 ft in on Corolla Beach and got stuck. Chase confirmed it was only 2WD and towed us back to the road. We had 7 kids with us and it was a Sunday evening past 6 PM and no way to get to our beach house. We had driven from Clevland, OH and had been in the car since 4:30 that morning—it was quite the adventure! Chase had an Excursion for us to rent for the rest of the week because Enterprise had nothing to swap for us. I am so grateful for all of his help because I’m not sure we could have stayed to enjoy our vacation because we would have had no way to get to the house! Him and his son were so kind and I’m so thankful to both of them!Posted on Google Dan McManusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A young fella named Chase saved our bacon out on the beach. He was very efficient and friendly. I had my wife and three kids in the car and he hooked us up. A real stand up guy, thanks Chase!
Posted on Yelp Stephen L.Verified My family has had a house at the north end of Carova beach for almost thirty-five years. In that time, I've never, ever needed a tow-truck. I've never been stuck and not been able to finagle my way out of it. It was a radiator hose that finally got me. I got two miles down on the beach before steam came gushing out from underneath the hood and I was dead in the water, no pun intended. The tide was coming in so I wanted to get out of there as quick as I could. So I put in the call. The guys were out there in about 45 minutes, had my car tied up and towed me off the beach to their place just north of what I will always call Winks. Chase and Jeff don't have a shop, but he looked under my hood and told me they could temporarily fix it by by-passing the heater core. I never asked about money. I knew how infamous the prices were for towing on the beach, but I didn't have any other option. The next day Jeff was out beside his refurbished ambulance cum garage, working on the car. He was going to McGyver the heck out of it- metal pipes in hand, trying to figure out how to get these different sized hoses connected. He told a joke a la Jeff Foxworthy and had a Budweiser can that was actually a promotional bit: the word WATER was emblazoned in blue upon the side. Over thirty years of fixing people as a paramedic and cars as a mechanic. I asked which one was harder and he said, "I treat them both the same: I try to do no harm." I went to our beach house for a couple of days with my family, (my brother in law has much better luck with radiator hoses) and was able to pick the car up on a rainy Sunday from his house on the beach. I gave him call, hopped in the car, drove back to beach house and sat down as I called him up to settle the bill. I'm glad I sat down because the whole fiasco cost me close to a thousand dollars, but there's no other choice really. And considering how stressful something like this can be- breaking down on the beach with the tide coming in and no shop for twenty five miles is nuts- Chase and Jeff made it feel as if it was just another day. Shit happens, as they say. That's probably worth a couple of hundred dollars alone.Posted on Yelp Caroline J.Verified We needed a quart of oil on Carova and Chase helped us out! He was super responsive and prompt and got us just what we needed. We mentioned in passing we had been walking looking for horses (from a safe distance) and he even gave us a quick call after the oil pick-up to let us know where he saw a few just after we headed out, which was so thoughtful and shows his care for his community and home. Excellent and kind service, above and beyond! If we're back on Carova and in need of auto help, we will reach out to North Beach Recovery and Chase again.Posted on Yelp Dan T.Verified CJ is the man! A+ service! And he's handsome ~ Dude was Johnny on the spot helping us out! If you get stuck call CJ...or stay stuck!!Posted on Yelp King S.Verified After making a bad decision of driving my standard car onto the beach (pics provided) I needed assistance getting my car unstuck. A security officer recommended that I try to lower the pressure on my tire and try and see if that work as a tow truck would likely do that too. I didn't want to damage my car trying so she went ahead and called North Beach Recovery. Chase-the operator was extremely helpful. Took about 10 minutes to get to me. Once he did, he quoted me $375 plus a $20 credit card processing fee. He lowered my tire pressure, winched me back about two feet, and I was then able to reverse and drive back onto concrete. While he was quick and efficient--I winced at the price given. I was curious what the website said and it states //////We're unable to provide a price list, as each job is unique. Some customers are close to our headquarters, while others are much further afield. The time of day, equipment used, amount of vehicles needed and the number of staff required for each rescue operation are all variables which affect the final bill./// (https://corollatowing.com/faq/) I had to move some money around to pay and he was good about saying to let him know when my debit card was good to be charged. Service-Excellent Communication-Fantastic. Chase did his job excellent with a smile on his face. Price--felt like I got the dumb tourist rate....so that's my only headache. I almost wished I tried lowering my tires first to see if I could've gotten myself out or I was hoping a Good Samaritan had the ability to assist as several cars/trucks/jeeps drove by. I'm rating 4/5 stars as I can't help but to wonder what a local would've been charged as well as wondering why a business charges a $20 for a credit card processing fee.Posted on Yelp Theresa R.Verified Had Chase and son come out on a Saturday night as I had locked myself out of my condo while repairing (yes repairing) a lock. He not only was able to get the door open he also installed my new electronic keypad lock. Very professional. Made sure he got it right. Made sure I was pleased with his work. Family stated that I would never get anyone out on a Saturday, but Chase proved them wrong. I called him at 7:00 and he was in Duck from Corolla in 30 minutes. I would highly recommend North Beach Recovery for any locksmith needs. It was costly but worth every penny to have someone professional, knowledgeable, courteous and prompt.
My car died on I-95 around midnight and I honestly expected a long wait. Truck showed up in under 25 minutes. Driver hooked everything up fast and got me straight to the shop I asked for.
Blew a tire with my kids in the car and I was pretty rattled. The guy who came out was calm, kept us updated by text, and loaded the car without a scratch on it. Would call again without thinking twice.
Called about a dead battery expecting the usual runaround on pricing. Instead I got a straight quote over the phone and that's exactly what I paid. No surprises, no upsell, just the job done right.
Locked my keys in the trunk of all places. Dispatcher stayed on the phone while I waited, driver got the door open without any damage, and the whole thing was over in maybe 20 minutes.
Ran off the road during a storm and had no idea who to even call. Found these guys, and the driver knew the back roads better than my GPS did. Got me and the truck out safe.
Needed a jump start on a freezing morning before work. They fit me in fast even though I know they were busy, and the driver was friendly about it too. Made a bad morning a lot less bad.
My transmission gave out on a Sunday and I figured I'd be stuck for hours. Truck arrived quicker than I expected and the driver was careful loading a car that clearly wasn't rolling on its own.
Slid into a ditch on a back road nobody could really find on a map. I gave rough directions over the phone and the driver still tracked me down and got the car out clean.
