Locked my keys in my car at a gas station on I-77 in the rain. J Holmes picked up immediately, was there in about 20 minutes, and had me back in the car fast. Didn't scratch anything, price was fair, and he was genuinely friendly about the whole thing. Huge relief.
Dead battery at the Walmart parking lot in Cayce with two kids in the car and 95° outside. J Holmes came out, jumped us right there in the lot, and waited to make sure the car was running solid before he left. That kind of service means everything in a stressful moment.
Locked out of my car at 8pm in Elgin and J Holmes was there in under 20 minutes. Got me back in fast, no damage to the door. Super professional and fairly priced.
I used J Holmes through my UHAUL / Good Sam's / Penske membership and the whole experience was seamless. He confirmed through the motor club and showed up faster than the estimated time. Car lockout sorted in minutes. I've used him twice now through insurance and both times were perfect.
