1 out of 5
My wife went to get some tacos from Torchy's. After driving around looking for a parking spot for 10-15 minutes, she proceeds to park in the only spot within a mile radius that is available, thinking that since she will be in and out in just a few minutes it will be ok.
She comes out a few minutes later and the car is gone. Turns out it was towed by these guys.
I called the company the car was parked in front of, which the spot was reserved for. They said they did not call the towing company, nor would they have for such a small timeframe. They said that most likely what happened is the towing company was there waiting and watching and pounced at the opportunity when my wife went in to get some food.
What kind of scumbag company does that? She was there for a few short minutes and had no other option. That's like getting a ticket for going one mile over the speed limit.
And the price tag? Three. Hundred. Bucks! $300 for parking in the only available parking spot for a few minutes.
I called and spoke to the owner (Woody Sizemore), explaining our financial situation and how we cannot afford the $300. Did he care? No. No empathy. No break. Nothing.
I have searched online for towing rates and there is nothing I can find that would suggest such a tow cost this much. These guys are outlandishly expensive as well as rude, uncaring, and next to impossible to get a hold of. I sincerely hope that over time leaving this review will cost them at least as much as they've cost me.
Very upset!
