π¨ PLEASE READ AND SHARE! DONβT GET OVERCHARGED FOR A TOW! π¨
I want to make our community aware of something that has been happening far too often.
If you need a tow, please DO NOT pay upfront! Tell the company you will pay when the service has been completed.
There is a sponsored towing company that shows up on Google before Garyβs Towing. This company is basically a call center that charges customers outrageous prices and then calls local towing companies like ours to actually perform the service.
Just yesterday, we received a call about someone who paid $175 for a 3-mile tow right here in Clinton! The vehicle never even left city limits!
Let me put that into perspective. At Garyβs Towing, we charge a flat rate of $65 for small cars being towed within Clinton city limits.
Thatβs a $110 difference!
What really bothers me is that people in our community are being taken advantage of when theyβre already dealing with a stressful situation. And the worst part? When customers try calling these companies back, they canβt get anyone to answer the phone.
Every time I come across one of these situations, I report it to Google. Unfortunately, they continue to show up as sponsored listings above legitimate local businesses.
Please remember: Just because a company shows up first on Google does NOT mean they are local!
Before agreeing to a tow, ask who is actually coming to get your vehicle, what the total cost will be, and whether youβre speaking directly with the towing company.
I donβt care if you call Garyβs Towing or another local towing company. What I care about is making sure our community isnβt being taken advantage of.
We work hard for our money, and nobody deserves to be ripped off when they need help.
PLEASE SHARE THIS! If it saves even one person from paying hundreds of dollars unnecessarily, itβs worth it.
