READ THIS BEFORE THINKING ABOUT GETTING A MEMBERSHIP Apologies for the long text, but I just want everyone to see the whole story. In the morning I had my car towed from Barrie to Mississauga for my car to be tuned. The car is lowered so I kept the front bumper off to help with not scraping, plus easier access for us if something is wrong with the parts that were installed in there. The guy comes and jokes about how low it is and we just talk about his story and how he’s been in the business for over 30 years and once owned his own towing company, so I know he’s good. No problems here. Gets it on the truck now problem and off without even getting close to touching the front end on the ground or the truck. After the tune is done the car is up and running, but I obviously don’t want to drive it all the way up to Barrie with no front bumper, so a request a tow. Tow truck drive gets there and starts taking pictures of the front end, and says “give me 2 minutes, I just have to call dispatch.” Here we go, I could just tell he wanted nothing to do with it. Seriously, it is there job to tow vehicles and they still don’t want the work. A few minutes go by and go to his truck. He gets out puts it on speaker phone and I hear the last part with the guy saying “Yes, that’s not road legal” and the driver says “thank you” and hangs up. I ask “How is it not road legal?!” He shakes his head, doesn’t say anything, and drives off as fast as he can. How do I know that the guy on the phone wasn’t one of his friends just saying that to get him out of towing?! I didn’t even see the number or talk to the guy on the phone! What do I do? Call for another truck and complain what just happened. The guy who I was on the phone with now said he “Had to look into it.” He wanted to see what the drivers notes where but couldn’t find them. So, he had to call dispatch to see what happened. After waiting a few minutes, he got back on the line and said my car wasn’t road legal because it doesn’t have plates. I said it does on the back, but the driver never checked there. After going back and fourth for 20 minutes. He first said that they would send a tow truck after talking to his supervisor, but then put me on hold again because his supervisor wanted to talk with him again. After that he said they couldn’t tow it. He then gets the supervisor, who I had to wait for another 5 minutes to talk to. The supervisor now pulls this s**t out of his a** that they can’t tow it because it is considered a “Transportation tow” meaning that because I want a tow to my house and not a shop, they cannot do it. He’s not budging at all to help me, so after 30 minutes on the phone I had enough. He said I could purchase my own tow to get home and that CAA may reimburse me for it (probably not). He then said “I hope your day gets better from now on” where I replied “I thought that was your job to make happen” and hung up. Luckily, the gentleman who towed it for me in the morning gave me his number and said he would tow it back. I only didn’t want him to tow it because it would have been the next day in the morning, and I didn’t really want to leave my car there over night but had to anyway. Luckily, the gentleman towed it for me the next day. So, what’s the moral of this story? 1. Very few drivers want to do their job 2. If your tow is more than around town, good luck 3. If your car is lowered, good luck 4. Licence plate (AR 84827) is a horrible person, and should find a different job 5. Finally, if you want a tow home, forget about it
