      Got into a car accident on March 30, 2024, t-boned, not at fault, alone no passengers. Police called Advantage Towing to tow my car. They asked me if they wanted me to take my car to a body shop or to their tow yard. I asked them to take my car to the tow yard while I call my insurance to ask where I should take it. They gave me a card and circled the address where my car will be.I called Advantage on Monday 4/1 to ask how I can release my car to my insurance to tow to a body shop they told me the only option was to come in person so I went down and signed my car to be released to my insurance. I asked to get something out of my car and they said it would cost an additional $48 so I declined. My insurance calls me on 4/3 and told me that Advantage Towing towed my car to a different body shop. I called Advantage to clarify and they said my friend told them to tow it there. I asked them what friend, name, gender and they hung up on me. They refuse to answer any questions or give me any information on how they illegally and unlawfully took my car to a body shop that was not authorized or released to.

      Absolutely appalling service from Advantage Towing Company, further compounded by AAA's bewildering lack of support, has left me more than just strandedit has left me utterly disappointed and questioning the integrity of these services. As a member of AAA, I found myself in a simple predicament requiring nothing more than a few gallons of gas. However, the series of failures that unfolded was both baffling and unacceptable. Initially, AAA informed me that I had reached my limit of service callsa claim later contradicted by the admission that the real issue was their lack of a flatbed tow truck to assist me. This blatant misinformation is not only misleading but shakes the foundation of trust that members, like myself, place in AAA. Advantage Towing Company, dispatched as a supposed courtesy by AAA, only added insult to injury. Upon their arrival, they refused to provide the assistance I needed, citing a requirement for upfront cash payment. This demand was not only unexpected but completely unreasonable, given that AAA had assured me of the courtesy call as a form of assistance under my membership. The lack of coordination and communication between AAA and Advantage Towing left me in a vulnerable position, alone and without the help I desperately needed.The behavior of Advantage Towing Company, requiring cash on the spot, especially from a stranded individual, is predatory and disgraceful. It's a ***** reminder of the lack of empathy and customer focus in their business model. Meanwhile, AAA's initial misrepresentation of the situation and failure to provide promised services calls into question their reliability and commitment to members.This experience has been eye-opening, highlighting a shocking disregard for customer care and safety from both ******************** and AAA. Look elsewhere for roadside assistance, where your safety and well-being are actually prioritized.
