About Big Al & The Boyz
Three Generations of Towing Excellence. One Commitment to Innovation.
Our Heritage & Legacy
Our story began with Frank Lester, who founded what would become Middle Georgia's most trusted towing service. Starting in the 1960s with a single truck and a commitment to helping neighbors in need, Frank built a reputation for reliability and service that still guides us today.
Today, that legacy continues through his grandson Alfonso "Big Al" Lester and the entire Big Al & The Boyz team. We've expanded from a small operation to a full-service towing and recovery company with two strategic locations, but our core values remain the same: treat every customer like family, arrive quickly, and do the job right.
We're proud to be one of the first towing companies in Georgia to adopt cutting-edge AI dispatch technology, combining our traditional values with modern innovation to serve you better.
