Truck broke down. Tow truck driver damaged truck

Yea, bud. Read the fine print when you sign up for 3a. I've towed vehicles that other stations wouldn't because it had rims and exhaust tips. It depends on the drivers and shop owner. They can refuse to tow a vehicle for any type of mod. Look at the post above from the 3a employee.

 

I didnt even want a tow.

I wanted him to put gas in and drive home but he refused.

 

Bet he didn't have gas in his can. A lot of guys were weird about that, like they were paying for it.

 

That's wild. I've had a few vehicles towed. All modded. I guess no one makes money for refusing to tow a vehicle.

 

You still get 1/2 pay..lol

 

So a driver can just say, “You have after market wheels, so nah.”?
Surely it has to be more than that. A driver would need encyclopedic knowledge of factory wheels and tires. What about a CAI, or non factory exhaust? Is it really just up to the driver?

 

It's up to the driver. Every company has the rights to refuse service for any reason. I dont even have AAA for that reason. They have refused and damaged lowered cars I've owned. I now just pay out the pocket for a tow and request a driver that is good with towing super cars!! Lol. I usually had to sign a waiver saying that if they damage my vehicle they are not at fault just to tow my lowered car.

 

Maybe it was empty but he def had a gas can. You can see it in my photo. He just said he doesn’t do that...

 

Did you watch them chain up your truck & say nothing?
I trust no one & watch them like a hawk. On my hot rods, I carry my own straps because everything is powder coated & I don’t want chains touching anything. Some drivers are very good, others are about as dumb as a box of rocks.
My last tow was my 34. Called AAA & they show up but say AAA won’t tow modified vehicle. However, he would accept my CC. After tow, I went to AAA & was told same thing- no tow. Told them I would cancel (36 yr member), they then opened a dispute. 5 weeks later, I got a check in the mail for the tow.

 

I would have gassed it, and drove it up on the bed.

 

Yes I did watch but not from up close so I couldn’t actually see the hooks going into the cv axle. But I 100% saw the hooks.My truck was in the road with 60mph traffic so I didn’t get too close

 

It was out of gas


No start

 

I'm gonna guess that the driver was getting paid $15 if he towed it and only $7 if he put gas in it. The reason he wouldn't put gas in it was so he could make more money.

 

I would have put gas in it and then drove it on to the truck.

 

He refused to put gas in. I was MILES away from a gas station and I had no gas can lol

 

I should have used my own damn winch

 

Shouldve put gas in it.


















JKJKJK i read all the comments and that seemed like the general consensus.

 

I pay myself $50 yr. for tow insurance. Stick it in a mutual fund. Have never used it. Now it’s in the thousands. Hehe

 

Get rid of triple A if paying. Get a good cell phone and call a friend.

 

North main tow.
