An elderly friend of mine, 82 years old, accidentally took a wrong turn and went up the sidewalk and her car became "stuck." She called the police because she was afraid to back up into traffic, and the police called Embrey's Towing. The man from Embrey's assessed the situation and told her it would be between $130-150. My friend told him alright, to proceed. She is on a very tight budget but she knew her insurance would pay $100. After the tower got her car situated where she could drive, he went to charge her card. He handed her the charge receipt and started to walk off. My friend saw the charge for $200! Highway robbery! He thought he would get away with it - did not even tell her he was going to charge her the $200. She called the company when she got home and they told her there was nothing they could do. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY'S TOWING! read more
