Hello, I am aware that this may do nothing, but I must speak out against this company because of the incidents that occurred tonight.


Let me start off by saying that I have parked in this spot hundreds of times for very lengthy periods in the past. So, I arrive to the "usual" parking spot and within 10 minutes I see Bob's Towing attempting to tow my car. I catch them before they park and let them know I will move immediately and that i was just dropping off a friend. Friend was present during the entire encounter.

"Sam" then proceeds to tell me that "I am too late guy" while they are still in their truck. My natural instinct was to position myself in between the cars to see if we could talk about the situation. Then "Sam" gets out of the truck and orders "Tim" to back up even if I was standing there. Luckily, I moved out of the way...I was centimeters away from getting my leg getting taken completely off with no sign of them stopping. I would've been seriously injured had I not moved when I did. We couldn't believe it, the driver was willing to injure me in order to secure a tow on my car. "Sam" even made a comment about his co-worker "You better move, he is not going to stop." So imagine this, me standing there about to get hit by a truck that is going to hit me no matter what, without discussion or paper work.

They ultimately put me in a Death or Car situation. At this point I became infuriated because of the threat on my health and life. The men proceeded to set up the tow and told me "If I need someone to call...call god, we don't give breaks thats why we are in the business, we can stop right here if you give me $160 dollars cash." I didn't have the cash on me at the time, so they drive off with me and my friend standing there.

I call the Bob's Towing and they tell me the location and price "$160 cash or nothing, our credit card machine is broke." Upon arriving at the company's office i notice there isn't much of a office, a hole in the wall place with a desk, printer and a file. No phone line or credit card machine to be seen, they kept insisting that I pay $160 cash or I couldn't get my car out that night...which would had been another fee. "Sam" stood behind the desk while "Tim" stood directly behind me as a bodyguard of some type.

When I asked for a receipt and names, they all of a sudden demanded that I show drivers license and insurance. When I denied they denied paperwork, so at the end of the day it was still $160 paperwork or not. I got towed big deal it happens...but when the company put a threat on my life while doing it, I think the situation changes up a bit. This is in no way fictional, this literally happened 2 hours ago.

If there is anything I can do in this situation, somebody let me know.
