To anyone and I mean anyone who gets towed by this company, DO YOUR RESEARCH. Our car was towed off of a private property with NO AUTHORIZATION form, we even asked the guy who called Crystal Wrecker's to have us towed and he told us that he didn't have to sign anything-- which is illegal in relation to "O.C.G.A. 44-1-13 and City of Savannah Ordinance 6-1406."
We called the non emergency line to confirm this illegal practice, and even had to have the officer come with us to Crystal Wrecker's office. Some of their signs and documents are outdated too, pointed out by the officer himself. Their displayed Private Property Towing License expired in December 2024, posted right next to their office window. And also according to Section 8 for Private trespass non-consensual Towing charges, vehicles under 10,000 lbs cannot be charged more than 175$. https://www.savannahga.gov/DocumentCenter/View/4670/Private-Property-Towing-Packet?bidId=
They were trying to charge us 228$.
DO NOT LET THIS COMPANY CHARGE YOU MORE THAN THAT PRICE FOR YOUR CAR BACK.
Now for customer service:
Our car gets towed Friday night, the first ever time we call to ask about where our car is, the lady is raising her voice at us. She says that we cannot get our car back until Monday morning at 8 am when their offices open, unless another car gets towed and someone goes back to the office, to which they said they would give us a call. We call again to ask about the pricing, as there's a sign posted in front of the spot we got towed at saying MAXIMUM 100$, this time a guy picks up, tells us to take the sign home to where we are from as a souvenir and tells us "Good luck trying to get someone to get your car back for you before Monday for 100$." Obviously they don't call and we are forced to go to their offices Monday morning with a cop by our side to advocate for their illegal practices. We ask for the signed authorization form from the property owner to prove that this was a legal tow. The lady at the desk disappears for at least 15 minutes, then comes back and mumbles something under her breath about not being able to "reach the driver" and says to us "you guys can just have your car back, it's not worth the money." Yeah, I'm sure it's not worth getting your business shut down haha.
PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS COMPANY TRY TO SCAM YOU LIKE THEY TRIED TO US. read more
