Earlier this year one passed me in a no passing zone, in a school zone during active school time. This in a small town with notorious cops. He was still there when I came back through an hour later, they were cuffing him up. DWI at 8AM on a school morning. Texas redneck trash.

Well, you need to get it off their lot stat. They are charging you up to 40$ a day for storage.
Pay them, get your car and then get an attorney. You can't argue with them as long as they have the car hostage.

there would always be a line of 5 or 6 tow trucks like vultures next to any crash.
i'm thinking they changed the rules around that; back then i think the police drew straws to pick a towing company.

How much of that is storage?

They towed it to their lot so they could get payment from the insurance company first, after that they were going to tow it to the body shop.
They said they were in rotation with other tow companies and they all charge like that if the police calls them.
I’m so confused.
Did the police have you towed after you hit the guard rail? Either you’re leaving out details or you’re getting scammed.

Maybe they broke their toe. If you've ever toed a car you know how painful it can be.

I had it towed to a body shop in town only to find out they towed it to the tow trucks lot and charged me $4000.
Now tell us you left it there a month and they charged you $200/day storage...
No way in hell a tow costs $4000. Get itemized cost and take to the AG office. May have to call a lawyer. Threaten to call the local tV station

Yea I’d threaten legal action. That’s an outrageous charge

Did you use the “a” or hard “er”

Damn... I've had my 40ft RV towed for $750 and that included unbolting the driveshaft so the transmission doesn't get damaged.
Seems about like Acadian Ambulance charging me $5500 to bring me from Oschner to OLOL because their CT scan machine was broken.
