John from the Powell team is my personal hero. I was staying at a cottage a bit South of Peterborough that had a very steep and gravely path in. After a big gas truck came to refill the cottage propane, it left the path in ROUGH shape and my car could not gain traction to get out. It slid backwards and into a ditch along the tree line. I was completely stuck and it was the morning of a federal holiday. I tried calling another tow service that wasnt able to help me but they gave me Powell's number. The person on the phone was so helpful and reassuring, talked me through what to expect cost and procedure-wise, and John was there with me in 20 mins. I've never had an issue like this before. I drive rough terrain in my Mazda-CX3 often and this was a first so I was feeling pretty stressed. John evaluated the rough terrain, came up with a solid plan, talked me through how to maneuver during the tow (we needed a LONG line to pull me up because it wasnt safe for his truck to go down) and totally calmed me down, gave me a fist pump, we were laughing together like WE'VE GOT THIS, WE CAN DO IT! We had me back on safe ground in another 20 mins and I was ready to go. The final cost was less than expected also! Besides the practical aspect of the service, John was just an absolute pleasure - so friendly and reassuring and positive. Thank you so much for helping me back to safety and coming out on a holiday to do this ♥️😊
