A couple of years ago, I was driving in downtown Calgary
when my vehicle started shaking. It turns out my front right wheel was wobbling
and very close to falling off completely. I had the kids in the back of the
car, and I was stranded in the downtown core. I called Wheatland Towing and
Dennis drove all the way to where I was, fixed my tire, and sent me on my way.
Another time, Aleesha and her husband Todd went on vacation.
When they came home, their vehicle was completely dead – you couldn’t even boost
it. Aleesha called Wheatland Towing and Dennis drove all the way to the airport
to tow their vehicle back to Strathmore.
This is the kind of person Dennis Winters is – he treats his
customers like family.
Wheatland Towing began on October 1, 2010 with the sole
intention of making a difference and treating customers the way they should be
treated. Having worked for people most of his life, Dennis was tired of having
to deal with the negative side of poor customer service. His personality meshed
with many “money-first” businesses, and he wanted to be his own boss and treat
customers the way a customer wants to be treated – namely, like family.
He set out to create Wheatland Towing, servicing all of
Wheatland County, Drumheller (with AMA), Strathmore, Langdon, and, in the case
of both myself and Aleesha, virtually anywhere a customer requires them to go.
Dennis loves people, is a gentleman, is very honest, and strives to do a job
well done. He knows that vehicles are not only expensive, but often hold a
special place in the owners’ hearts – and he will treat your vehicle like it’s
his own.
While many towing companies charge by the hour, Dennis finds
that charging by the call and mileage keeps his prices lower than the
competition and easier to manage. Mind you, he’s not in this just for the money
– his goal is to feel successful doing whatever he can to help people in their
time of need.
I sat down for lunch with his wife Darylene and my 2-year
old son Lucas, and she sang his praises like a newlywed. “He works so hard
every single day,” she said. “Then comes home and is such a great grandpa to
our 6 grandchildren!” And what does grandpa love to do when he’s not helping
stranded Newsy Neighbour employees? You can find him gardening, reading, or
watching the Flames!
Wheatland Towing has a flat deck truck, they’re available
24/7, and they specialize in towing/winching, recovery, battery boosting, fuel
delivery, lock-out services, tire change services, and they will recycle your
unused vehicle for free!
So the next time you’re in need of a tow truck, call the
Gold Winner in The Newsy Neighbour Best in Business Awards for Best Towing
Company, Wheatland Towing. You’ll be so glad you did!
