Default Towing Companies Suck

I was towed from a bank parking lot on a Sunday morning:mad:mad. I parked there early Sunday morning and when I went back out around 10:00, my car was gone. What kind of useless person would tow someone's car from a bank parking lot on a Sunday morning? I hate those guys!!!!:boxing Anyway, is there any specific damage I should look for? I looked at the front nose and only noticed a couple of chips in the paint, may have been there before, not sure.

Look for damaged lines and such underneath where they may have used hooks to secure the car down.

If the lot was posted for towing there's not much you can do. Many businesses contract with towing companies who patrol the lot looking for victims like you - your car was probably gone withing an hour of leaving it.

Even if they did damage it. They would just say the damage was already there when they picked the car up. It would cost more in legal\court fee’s than it’s worth. Towing company’s suck. :smash:

Towing company’s suck. :smash:
My Vette was towed yesterday. I was leaving work, and it wouldn't start (starter was bad). I had it towed home so I could fix it in the comfort of my garage. Thank God for towing companies! Beats the hell out of pushing it home.
