Business ProfileforBud's Towing & Automotive

Used this business to tow my vehicle to Autobody *** on 12/24/22 at 11:50 pm after sliding into a guard rail. Company representative arrived at my vehicle. I was told they could not drop my car at Autobody *** in ******** while they were not open, and my truck would have to be placed in Bud's storagelot for one day (at rate of $50) until Autobody was open. I was told AND shown a total price of $132.50 - the hook-up fee was $75, lot fee $50 and loaded hook milage fee of $7.50 ($1.50/mile for 5 miles). I paid this amount based on the quoted provided verbally and visually on the device provide to me to make my payment. I enter my credit card based on these charges. Then I received a call ****************************************************** fact deliver/drop off my truck at Autobody ********* would not need to pay for storage in Bud's storage lot. I expected my bill to be adjusted and reduced by the $50 for the storage fee. I received an email with a web link to the bill. I was charged the full $132.50. Bud's change the invoice on the link to the following: Motor Assist $95, Unloaded/Enroute Milage $7.50 (rate $1.50/mile) and Loaded/Hooked $30.00 (rate $6/mile). Upon conversation with ***'s I was informed I was charged a higher rate for the various fee's because they have an agreement with the police to charge higher rates if the police call vs the motorist. It is my impression these extra dollars are being paid to the police department. This is unfair! I was charge $50 extra because the police call for the tow vs me. I signed for and approved payment for what was shown to me on the device. This itemized list of charges and their associated fees changed for no reason. The only charge that should have been dropped is the $50 storage lot fee. I believe this would make for a very interesting news story as I believe stranded motorists need to know this tow company is providing some type of kickback to the state police. My desired settlement is a refund of $50
