Services
When we started Nicholson Auto as a family-owned business in 1973, we set out to provide something a little different from the competition, something a bit more meaningful. After all, a towing job can be executed perfectly but still be unpleasant if not performed with a sense of urgency and respect.
We offer light, medium, and heavy-duty towing services among a wide range of other transport and recovery services. Our fleet of trucks features an 85-ton and 50-ton rotator to ensure our ability to handle any recovery job.

We boast some of the finest drivers and operators West Virginia has to offer, who pride themselves not only on their vehicular knowledge as "car people" but also on their ability to connect with customers and make them feel safe and comfortable every step of the way.We serve clients from all walks of life.

I wrecked my car and went to get the stuff out of it. I had just gotten the car a little over a month before I wrecked it and thought I had lost it forever but the woman gave me the opportunity to possibly get it back at a good price. I smoke grateful. Very professional.

I highly recommend using Nicholson Towing if you ever need a tow or roadside assistance. The staff/employees are the nicest, most compassionate group of people you could ever hope to meet. I cannot thank them enough for their assistance today. They went above and beyond. Thank you

We were told $90 at pickup and then it jumped to $175. Also the female that works at the front desk is rude and judgemental. She thinks she can speak to people however she wants and they are to take it bc shes the "boss". Worst tow company ever.

Took the day off work, found a ride to Salem, and was on my way to pay them $700 to get my vehicle at noon on a Wednesday.. I called ahead to double check on the total and was told that there was no way I could pick it up today because no one would be there that could handle the bill..??
To add insult to the injury, they still hit me for the lot fee that day and continued charging me lot fees everyday. Then they even had the nerve to say that I could've gotten it out that day if I would've showed up.??! What!!?? I even have the phone calls recorded where they said it was impossible to get it.

Totaled my car and got towed by this company. They treated fairly in price but that is not the only reason for the 5 stars. Everyone at this company treated me as friendly as possible i felt like i was among friends the whole time. For a bad situation they helped make it go as smoothly as possible I am truly grateful they were the ones to pick me up. I would recommend them to friends and family

Let's company zap to lutely the worst tow service ever to open for business. They steal from your client. Severely damage My vehicle. And then laugh in your face and calier they're not responsible. Keep that in mind. And be very very cautious. If you ever get 4th Gen. Do their business.

Keys Locked in Vehicle in WV 'Boonies'
Rolland was very kind, efficient and customer service-oriented when working with both my husband and I on the phone. Walter, the rep that came to my husband's rescue showed up right on time and got the job done quickly and efficiently. We would highly recommend Nicholsons and will use them again if needed. Thanks Rolland and Walter for your service to the community - and to folks like us that have 'one of those days.' Appreciate it!

Walter was awesome! He was extremely professional and was very nice. He even messaged me to let me know my vehicle arrived at its destination. I don’t know if this is common practice with this establishment but I certainly appreciated it and feel Walter went above and beyond his job requirements. Thanks Walter if I ever need another tow I’ll request you.

Worst establishment ever. Less than 8 miles away from me and wouldn't tow me. ALL Towing in Doddridge county is complete garbage. Pretty bad triple A had to get a company from clear over in New Martinsville to tow me thus leaving me to sit here on the side of the road all day.

Great people work here at Nicholson's Auto Repair and Towing. I have had my vehicles towed by Nicholson's, their tow rates are reasonable and they also do State Inspections. I remember my dad use to have Todd's Exxon for towing and inspections. Todd's Exxon closed permanently in 2002, when I was a teenager, we started to use service from Nicholson's since.
