I think David Brauer raises a very valid issue here. I just called a few towing companies and here's what I found.
If Cedar Towing tows your car from a private lot for lack of payment the fee they gave me over the phone is $225.00 I called three other companies and said my car had broken down and needed to be towed to my house 10 miles away. "How much?" I asked. Extreme Towing - $65.00 plus $3.00/mile (they'd be there in 45 minutes) D & D Towing - $45.00 plus $2.00/mile (and they'd come right away) Dukes Towing - $65.00 flat fee (and they'd come right away) Cedar Towing sure has a fancy fleet of trucks! Shiny custom wheels, sparkle paint and pinstripes. If I go looking for a tow in a competitive market it can be done for about $65.00. Besides pinstripes, what are the added expenses with the car towed for lack of payment to justify a difference of $160.00? Dan Prozinski Cedar Riverside REMINDERS: 1.
