    B & L towing was called by the Woodbridge ** police department to tow my sons car to the impound after an accident. While on the scene 2 other witnesses and myself saw my sons recording equipment in the back seat to include max ***** speaker, and bag with interface and other equipment. Since we had to leave in a hurry to the hospital we did not have time to get his things out. When I picked up the car from the impound later that day, all of the equipment was missing. I called the police station and they send one of the officers from the accident scene to meet ** at the impound. He took our statements and said the car was never left alone until the tow truck came. We called B & L towing and ******* stated the driver said the vehicle was locked when he towed it. That is impossible because the keys were in the car and the car will not lock with keys inside. When I picked up the car from impound it was unlocked. ******* from ***** told me to come down and speak to ****. We drove to ***** and were treated so bad, I asked for dispatch records to see if the driver stopped while I. Route, and was denied that information. **** also stated that I am not allowed to ask any questions, even though I am a paying customer. I payed a fee to get my sons car back from impound. He also said that once police finished investigating the stolen equipment, it will not go as planned for me. Insinuating he already knows the end result and makes me think this is a common thing that happens. I looked up reviews for ***** on ****** maps and face ***** and other customers have also complained about their personal items being stolen from their cars after an accident. We dont want any trouble, we just want our equipment back!

    1 star given because no other choice! These people are legal scam artists!! My vehicle failed mechanically ( while leaving on my lunch break ) on port authority property. AAA was called but once port authority came onto the scene they called their towing company and had my vehicle towed.i was told they had to tow it to their location that closed by 5pm and as long as I was there to retrieve it by the same time the next day I wouldn't have to pay storage. I gets to B&L TOWING and I'm told that my bill was a whopping almost $300!!! Looks like $4 a mile for 12 miles and the rest was 2 day storage, taxes, toll, and hook up!! I know for a fact that toll for me was under 4 dollars and the charged $12.almost $300 and they had my vehicle for less than 24hrs!! I was told that they charge 1 calendar day ! So, of it comes in at 11pm that's 1 day and 12am is the second day even though it's only been an hr!!! If that's not the most craziness I've heard in a while!!! When I got the l there, the lady at the front totaled me out at the full amount!! She said $260 please....i said $260!! I was told by the tow driver that no storage fees if I picked my car up by today...she called the driver, he acknowledged that YES he told me that. She gets in the phone and calls someone over to talk to me. This guy tells me " I am aware that the driver told you no storage but that was in correct.....what he should've told you was that the first day is free, so with that being said I've given you a $40 off. Now wait a minute!! You're telling me that's what the driver meant to say but when I first got here the lady at the desk was charging me 2 days!! So what is it. 1st day free or 2 calendar days?!!!! Because if that's what he meant to say then why wasn't she giving me my first day free from the rip!!! Then he wants to get an attitude and starts talking s*** " listen, as a courtesy I'm giving you 1 day free! It ain't my fault your day broke down and a whole bunch of other nonsense!!! LEGAL RACKET
