Guest Scooter Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Thanks for towing my Chevy Blazer from in front of my apartment, with my baby seat in it, causing me to be rather late from work, and forcing my wife and I to transport my son in a most dangerous fashion. Thanks for leaving no notice what-so-ever when you took my Blazer, and making me call the police just to find the damn thing. Also, thanks for then charging me $108 (plus a $5 ATM fee because you only take cash) to graciously take it off your hands in your ghetto ass building. Many thanks for treating my wife like a dumb broad, since that makes everyone's life so much better. Hanging up on her four times and calling her names is great customer service. By the way, how is it a "No Parking Zone" when there are no signs stating that? Or the only sign that says anything about towing is at the front of the apartment complex and only says "Unauthorized Vehicles"? I thought that, you know, since I am a resident and all, that my vehicle was authorized to part in front of my apartment... Oh yeah, when you tow something, make sure you get the right address. According to your receipt, you towed my vehicle from two streets over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I am curious to see if this was a mistake on the tow companys behalf or your own. It seems to me if they made a mistake and you were in the right, it would be pretty simple to fix. Especially if you are a resident at the property you were towed from. Please keep us posted on how this is handled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 They are crooks I had to deal with them before. lucky for me I was driving the festiva and they wanted like 300 to get it out since it took me 2 days to find the damn thing. But I was like look it is a festiva with a blown motor I will come get it for 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueG60rado Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Those bastards were all over south campus when I lived on Chittenden. And they are all on commission, that's why they are such pricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scooter Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I don't think a lawsuit over $108 is going to do much for me. But I did file a BBB report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotCarl Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I've heard stories in which they've actually gotten into car's to see if anything was of value there. They can always turn around and claim,"hey someone must've broken into it before we got there". It's a scam and they need to be shut down. Or at least just taught a lesson.

Lustalbert Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 let's go tow one of their tow trucks away I was going to suggest burning it to the axles, but this idea sounds interesting as well. If the motor disapeared as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 There really does need to be a class action lawsuit. I think that anyone that's lived in the campus area has been towed by them, I know I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 We use them at work. I had them tow my eclipse from the original owners house. I know I looked all over the engine when I bought it and didnt see anything. There wasnt a drop under the car. When he dropped it off, I noticed oil and metal pieces all over the bed. I saw him remove the biggest fucking hook I have ever see from under it where he hooked one of his chains. I looked at the engine and it had the starter ripped off and a whole in the block, I could fit both my hands in. We got in this huge fight about it and he refused to leave.I told him I wasnt paying until his boss showed up. I climbed in his truck when he wasnt looking and put it in gear, got out and shut the door and told him his truck was leaving he might want to go with it. He never got paid and I didnt hear another word about it. I figured hell with it since I knew it had a blown motor. I have never seen that particular guy tow another one of vehicles.

Guest Scooter Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I wonder if anyone else has called the attorney general as well? I think I will have to go that route. It's not really about the $108, it's about them just hooking up to random vehicles and taking off with them. And then I have to drive almost 30 minutes just to pick the damn thing up!

thorne Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I almost got in a fist fight with one of the guys @ my buddys apartment back in I think 99. I was parked in front of his apartment by campus, They said I was in ano parking zone. I missed how a number spot that my buddy was alloted was no parking, I was a bit of a hot head back then. I let him know in a casual manner that I was more then willing to show him a closs up view of my tire iron. As I walked towards the trunk with my keys out he backed off . Greesey mother fucker.

excell Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Your apartment complex should be paying the bill and taking it up with the towing company. They have the contract with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datsunissan28 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I have pictures on my phone of one of their employees prying open a door with a big wooden wedge and a mallet enough to reach his arm in to unlock the door. After the guy saw me taking pictures he started threatening me, then three of my roomates showed up and he left... I need to see if I still have those pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
