An actual towing company recommendation, for once
King Towing in Fairfax, VA. One of the few pleasant experiences I've ever had with a towing company. They showed up within an hour after I'd called them, the driver was friendly, and the whole process was quick and efficient. A 20-mile tow cost me around $120 plus a tip, which is cheaper than I'd expected. Car is stashed in my office parking lot for the time being, where based on historical evidence it should be fine for at minimum several months (until somebody comes in, fixes it up, and steals it, but that's a story for another time).
