always refuse tow truck drivers who just show up, get your own
-
It's funny how scammers always get angry and defensive when you question them with anything lol 😂
-
Best excuse of all time "I'm trying to make a living, sir, and I have 5 kids to support."
-
Lesson of the day: if you DO accept to be towed, ask to get towed HOME till your insurance appoints you an auto-shop, then talk to the auto-shop to see if they have a tow truck.
-
To that guy that after 3 months still hasn’t got his car back, he should sue them
-
I never thought a documentary about tow trucks can actually be so interesting
-
always got to have a reliable tow-company saved on your phone..
-
I wonder how these towing companies would feel if, in addition to being fined, THEIR tow trucks were towed away for breaking the law? Hmmm. Towing fees, storage fees, the fine itself, loss of income, court appearance.....
-
Maybe the Cop should start writing tickets?? Instead of just giving a warning to everyone, or just letting them go!
-
Why would you ever accept a tow from someone you never called...
-
I love how they all talk about how they have kids and families that they need money for, but they are perfectly fine taking money from others that are in the same situation. Just shows how much they care
-
I'm in the US and I've been in the bodywork industry for about ten years now, I have seen this done a few times and we confronted the customers about it and then contacted the authorities. Needless to say, the tow dudes lost their jobs and fined. what I'm seeing here just makes me sick to my stomach and severely angry.
-
The cop needs to stop giving these drivers breaks and ticket them every time they see them..
-
Person: accidentally scratches my car Tow Cars: READY OR NOT HERE I COME
-
You should see the bills for a semi-truck recovery. They often issue charges for equipment that isn’t even at the scene, but that they happen to own.
-
This is still a problem 5 years later, got approached by 3 tow truck drivers and all told me my car was undrivable, ended up driving it 5 hours back home. These guys are crooks, call insurance and get a tow truck # through them
-
He said he’s got two kids... other guy had 5 kids... it seems like everyone uses their kids to get out of trouble or debt. 😂
-
I'm surprised that nobody has pulled a gun on the staff at lyons.
-
Last time I crashed, I mean drove too close to a side rail. Parked on the side of the road, got picked up, rented a uhaul trailer picked it up myself. Cost me around 150 total and a few hours of my time.
-
Good thing to remember at all times, don't ever trust any business or person if they are the ones trying to reach you.
