Such a great help when my car broke down on the highway today! I'm covered by BCAA so can't speak to the expense of towing, but the people working behind the desk were super friendly and helpful, they called around and found a shop for me to take my car to that could fix it same day, and the driver got me there in time to get my car sorted out! So grateful!

Scrap King is unreal! I cant even begin to explain how much they helped me in my time of despair. Firstly Kavan the tow truck driver is extremely experienced and got my car out of an extreme situation and into the garage. I was then warmly welcomed by the lovely receptionist jacki who instantly made me feel at ease. Not to mention the mechanics Mike and Chris who helped with my damaged car.
The whole team are super friendly and honest. I will be back!

This review is for the Creston location on 211 Collis St. (I couldn't find them on Google so I am assuming this is the same company)
Had my SUV break down with trailer in tow 15 minutes from Erikson. They were super quick to respond to us, and had both the SUV and trailer loaded in no time. They also helped figuring out a place to store my vehicle while plans were made to get it home, and really went above and beyond with helping us out during a sticky situation.
Special thanks to Chris, Jacky, and anyone else on the team who assisted. Great team of people!

Had a break down in the Kootenay pass out of cell service. A trucker called us in at the top of the hill and Scrapking was out with two trucks (one for our truck and one for the sleeping trailer) in no time. Good thing I have AMA! They took me right to the Nissan dealer in Cranbrook. Thanks Chris and gang -- you made a bad situation manageable.
