CAA? free tow =Di'm fairly new to this but just wanted to share my knowledge about scammers when it comes to car accidents/tow driver and bodyshops. tow drivers are vultures, its all a big scam, they work for a bunch of bodyshops and get a % when they tow a vehicle to the shop. bodyshops will trick the ower of the vehicle into signing a workorder wich gives them premission to do work to the vehicle. if the person tries to move the vehicle they will charge them a crap load of money to get the vehicle from the shop. they also try to rip the insurance companies off. if the car cannot be fixed the bodyshops try to keep it there as long as possible so they can charge the insurance co more money. that is one of the reason why insurnace rates are so high. i know this becuase i had a really bad experienc with 409 collision. they make you think they will take care of everything, they talk to you all nice but when you say you dont want you vehicle fixed there they slap you with a $2000 bill to move your vehicle. this is how the shops work. i know im just ranting on but i think peope should be aware of these things. please let me know what you guys think about this topic if you have had an accident and can relate to this.
thanks

Nothing like generalizing all people based on a single experience. I guess it's only a bad thing when you base it on a persons race or religion and not their occupation.
No I am not a tow truck operator.
