| - Saw this ad on Craigslists a few months ago and the company offered a $50 flat rate tow, I kept the number and needed it today. When I called the receptionist and ordered the service, I was quoted a price of $60. The driver was prompt and a very nice guy.... After assessing the position of the car, the driver then said it will be an additional $60 to get it unwedged and loaded. He then tells me that any other tow company would charge hundreds more for this situation, the vehicle would have to go to their yard, and storage fees on top of that. I'm not in the towing business so I don't know prices and additional charges. I've dealt with towing companies in the past, and I personally feel they are the biggest bunch of rip off artists on the planet!! I felt I was at the companies mercy with NHP on scene, and were threatening to have the vehicle towed through their associates. Although I should feel ripped off, I was ripped off by an honest, experienced driver. it ended up costing me $120 bucks vs. a possible $300+ dollars, storage fees, weekend rates, and fines, I feel a quote should be a quote! I will continue to keep this number handy and use them if needed due to the promise of being there in a timely manner and a really bad location of the needed tow.
