My girlfriend needed a tow and we contacted this company around 11 am. We were told a price & the pick up fee alone was higher than a tow I had done 2 weeks prior. I could not find the other company at that time so we went with southside wrecker. Dispatch told me it'd be 3 pm before we could be towed. The driver did not show up until almost 4:30.
The most distressing part of our dealings with this company is that their driver moved her seat all the way back so that he could drive the car onto the truck. In doing so, he broke her 5 year old's tablet. Her car sat for a few days because we had to wait for her wheel to get fixed but once she went back to her car she discovered the broken tablet and contacted the tow company right away.
Dispatch was rude the 1st time I called them the day of the tow but it does not compare to how rude they were to her once she called back to discuss the tablet. They 1st gave her the wrong email address to send a complaint and gave her the run around when she wanted to talk to someone. Instead of communicating with her they then began to ignore her. It was at that point we gave them truthful bad reviews on BBB, Facebook, & Yelp.
Since the reviews, this company has started to lie on her, saying she visited their place of business and demanded a new tablet. She has never been to their place of business. They have claimed we are making threats against them. This is funny to me because I have copies of all of my communications with them. I've made it clear that at the least they owe her an apology for their error. I've been clear that they messed up by not communicating and forcing our hand to give a bad review and that possible conflict resolutions could have been... an apology, discount of the tow fee, refund of tow fee, offer of free tow in the future, gift card.... something showing a willingness to have customer service and own their mistake.
At this point we are taking them to court. It is unfortunate that we have to spend more time on this issue but we feel it is our duty to have the facts confirmed in a court of law so that our reviews can stand. The purpose of a review is to let the public know what they might expect if they choose to do business with a company. Based on our facts and experience, you can expect for rude dispatch to pick up, for them to be over an hour late with no updates from dispatch, for them to break your personal items without remorse, for them to call you a lair, and best of all FABRICATE STORIES ABOUT YOU SHOWING UP AT THEIR PLACE OF BUSINESS MAKING THREATS!!!
A week ago, it would have been sad that we had to give a review to get a response but we could have worked something out. We'd never want to harm someones business without giving them a chance to make an effort to make up for their mistake. Because of their continued disrespect of the customer, lies, & unwillingness to even apologize, our reviews will remain online and we'll see them in court. read more
