    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Unanswered
    I was involved in an car accident on 12/22/2023, the damage on my vehicle was only to the front passenger side which included the passenger doors and front side panel (closer to passenger door). The ************************** reached out to Powers Towing to take both of the vehicles involved in the accident. I have pictures of my car and the damage that it had from the accident. Powers Towing took my vehicle from the scene of the accident and placed it in there tow yard. Then 2-3 hours later a second tow company Prime Time Towing that was contracted by my insurance State Farm picked up my vehicle and dropped it off at the repair shop Car Star in Hillside. My vehicle incurred extensive damages to the front bumper, and other components under the car, and I have pictures from Prime Time Towing showing that the damage was already there in Powers Towing lot. When I arrived at Car Star (This is where I saw my vehicle had extra damage that was not from the accident) I informed them and was told the vehicle was dropped off like that and the damage did not happen there when it got dropped off. I went to Powers Towing lot to discuss the damages incurred and asked if they could provide proof the damages did not happen on there lot and I was essentially "brushed off" the person at the desk did not care and said they where not required to show me anything, and that if I want to see pictures of my car I should have taken them myself at the accident. They have been avoiding me since the day of the accident. I also filed a complaint with Powers Towing insurance company ************************* there policy number is ********* and phone number ************. The complaint was filed on 1/08/2024 and to this date I have not received any type of update from the insurance company. They are giving me the same run around, saying they cannot get in contact with their insured (Powers Towing), it has been almost 3 months since the accident and I havent had any real conversation with them.

    Worst towing company ever along with their customer *************************** will abuse you by making you pay cash not take debit cards or credit cards and by not communicating with so they can charge you more money for having your car on they're property.They will not be or take responsibility for any damage to the vehicle done while they moved the car.They will take your car from a parking spot and say your car does not belong there due to a property management rules when in reality once they take your car and fill paper work out they will force you to sign paper work in order to get your car back to make it look like everything is legal on they're end when it really is not. People have filed cases against these people with the ******** **************** of ******** and the state gets a cut of the money and taxes so the State of ******** will not take the time to really investigate since there is money to be made and because people are being forced to sign paper work to get they're cars back in order to make it look like everything is legal. If the state really looked into this company they would know that these crooks doing more then what they need to be doing especially with property car lot with so much safety, environmental, and sanitary violations that the state of ******** would not allow.
