I don't mean to sound like a Karen but no other place has disappointed me like All-Star Towing has. I don't ever leave a bad review but I feel really inclined to share my experience in detail for the sake of others less knowledgeable than me.
This review will be long and detailed so that there can't be any room for false justification. (Just in case these scummy artists attempt to falsely justify anything)
I'm an average 20 year old college student who had crashed their car in a freak accident.
Police dispatch called up All Star Towing to get it off the streets but their terrible towing skills cosmetically damaged my car much more than me physically crashing it and having it flip over completely did.
I let it slide because towing a car off the road can be tricky.
My car is pretty beat up so I call them up the next day explaining I would like to sell the car off for money and am told by one of their agents I'd only have to pay about $395 for storage and towing fees if I come in on Monday, then when I do show up on Monday, I'm asked to pay $815 instead. Without much explaining, I'm also handed a Transfer of Title application...
Me, not knowing any better begins to sign away, BUT before finishing, I ask them if I can at LEAST retrieve a 3rd party stereo system I had personally installed in the car. They refuse to let me, saying that other than my personal belongings I've left behind, I'm not allowed to remove any parts or mods physically attached to the car, including my stereo. I'm also told that even after paying all towing and storage fees, I still won't be able to remove anything attached to my car due to vague BS safety and "liability" reasons they kept coming up with.
I refused to finish signing and I step outside their office to call up Cream's Towing and schedule the removal of my car from All Star Towing the next day. Then I go back inside and pay up another $85 for another storage day. (That's a grand total of $900)
One of the butthurt office workers not knowing I had paid for another day was bold enough to rudely tell me I need to come in before 10AM tomorrow or else they'd throw my car out onto the streets before his coworker corrected him. Not once did I disrespect any of them.
I definitely think the people who work here could've handled my situation much better but looking at all the other reviews, this seems very common. I'm just an average college student and not knowing any better, almost signed away my car to them. What doesn't sit well with me was the fact that this can happen to anyone.
I'm left with the impression that All-Star Towing is a business ran by unprofessional crooks who lie and misguide to take advantage of those who don't know any better. I only wish PD had called up any other towing service, It was very unfortunate. I don't ever recommend coming here, unless you want to get screwed over of course ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
Cream's Towing and Dismantling, on the other hand, HELPED me remove any and all the parts that I wanted from my car and even paid me for the rest that I didn't want. They didn't charge me for towing either. They're definitely the people to go to for all your car needs. read more
