Metro towing abuses their fees they towed my car for less than an hour and less than a mile away and they charged 400$ I myself own a towing company and can say these charges are ridiculous and without basis most people don't know that you can place a complaint at better business bureau CA number is CA 0374135. Don't let these companies get away with screwing the people of Los Ángeles.
Complaint against Metro Towing, Nation Wide Insurance and Agero.
To summarize: I was in an accident on Aug. 4th. My insurance company had the vehicle towed from the scene of the accident (working with Metro Towing through Agero) to a tow yard so the adjuster could start working on it while I was out of town the following week. The tow driver originally told me the yard was in Aurora, but he gave me no paperwork. 8/14: I called ins. company for status update supposed to tow car from tow yard to auto body shop on either 14th or 15th. I hear nothing the entire week. I leave message for adjuster on Friday 8/18. Saturday night 8/19: Denver PD calls me. They attempted to pull over a similar vehicle with dark tinted windows with my license plate in the back window. It runs from police.
Monday 8/21: I call ins. company again for the first time I learn that they don't know where my car is and haven't been able to find it since the day of the accident. I was given 10015 E. Harvard Ave. Denver CO 80231 - I drove there myself after work and took pictures. There is no tow yard there. Tuesday 8/22: I get a call from another towing company wanting to tow my car from the scene of the accident. Confused I called Agero and learned that on the 4th my car was actually towed to 7102 Raleigh St. Westminster CO 80030. I drove there after work on Tuesday and took pictures. There are several fenced, locked storage lots there; however, my car wasn’t in any of them.
Metro Towing told Richard (Operations Supervisor with Agero) they did tow my car to their storage yard in Westminster on 8/4 and that someone picked it up between 8/7 and 8/11, but they have no record of who or when. I find this very hard to believe since that is how they earn their bread and butter. (daily storage fees)
Metro Towing says they share the tow yard with other tow companies so others have access to this "unmanned" lot.
I have now filed a stolen vehicle report with Westminster Police. I don't understand how a vehicle can be stolen while in the care of my insurance company and they only want to give me the blue book value for the car which is what I would've received if I didn't have to go through all of this extra hassle. I'd love to talk with someone to give more details and I have pictures. The police say that keys are often left in vehicles at these “unmanned” lots. To me that is asking for theft. Thanks.
This morning around 8:45 am I stopped and parked at the jackinthebox on Sunset and Cahuenga , decided to go across the street to purchase a coffee and return within 3 min. As I got in my truck and turn it on to leave here comes a tow truck out of no where and grab my truck with me in it and lift us of the ground very aggressive. I got of my truck very scared and then the driver comes and treats me to call the police if I don't step away . I ask he to please let me go that I only was there for a couple of minutes and he replied very loud and upset that the only way he can drop my truck if I pay $250 other wise he was going to take it to East LA yard , at this time I said please don't take it I will pay you here is my business credit card . His respond was I only take Cash there are several ATM around , but I will only give you 5 min. At this time I run to the bank and Walgreens but my debit card was expired so I couldn't get the cash. When I came back I told him that I couldn't get the cash that made him very upset and wanted to fight with me . I told take my truck and walked away into jackinthebox he made a call and came back in to tell that he was going to drop of my truck . When I got my truck I call his supervisor and didn't help at all. This towing co. Made me feel like if I was in another corrupt country . I complaint to jackinthebox and they are going to review the recordings .
I was parked in a laundromat in the corner of western and virginia. I was gonna do laundry but i figured i go get tacos first about 25 feet from the location. I took approximately 15 minutes and when i came back my car was on a tow truck. I asked the guy to release my car and he said i should have never parked there. He refused to give me my car and let me get a few stuff and took off with my vehicke with out my consent. This occured saturday july 22 around 11 40 at night. They wouldnt release my car unless i paid 357 dollars and change. I paid 200 cash and the rest with my fathers bank card. Now i have done my research and they have violated all my rights. Major law broken was refusing to give me my car. According to california law. Never did i see the owner of the property and i keep calling metro tow inc and they refuse to give me the name of the guy who towed my truck. They also keep hanging up me
On friday 09/10 around 7:10Pm Parked my car at the parking lot on Sunset and Cahuenga in Hollywood, I was with a friend we decided to eat at jack in the box, located on that lot, me and my friends ordered our meals and chatted since we havent catch up in a while, after around 40 minuntes we left and my car was gone, a guy told me that they had just towed my car, how was that possible, they had a sign saying that cars parked more than 1 hour would be towed but we stayed less than that, I have my receipt that i had a meal on that place that night. I called the company and they were extremely rude, tony's assistant hang up the phone on me, and said that they dont have a website for complains nor they have an email for formal complains, meaning they are really a scam, whoever gets towed by them has no rights.
I had to pay $315.00 to get my car out and I wasnt parked incorrect.
Now i need help against this company because they are taking advantage of people
I m reporting a towing trap that the towing company - Metro Towing Inc. - and perhaps CVS are using to further their own gains by using un lit signs supported by tow trucks waiting near by to tow away un welcomed vehicles. My case (10:00pm) - I parked my car in a parking spot where there was no visible NO PARKING sign for roughly 10-12 mins. I came back with my car no where in sight and a man in a mustang came by and said my car had been towed away. The lighting was so bad the man's face wasn't even visible from 5 feet away and the sign he pointed to was 15-20 feet back on a wall behind/next to a few trees. The lighting was so bad, only the colors of the sign were noticeable when I looked over at it around 10:10-15. Points of interest: 1). The car was up in gone in about 10 minutes which means the towing truck must of already been present (towing trap). 2). There was no signs in the midst of the parking lot. 3). The signs on the walls were badly lit.
