Skye Towing & Autobody

DO NOT trust this place for towing/​repairs. Skye towing will take every chance to OVERCHARGE you. I was in a car accident and this was the towing company that was called. Jose put up the nice person act and offered to give my brother and I a ride home. I had requested that we leave the car in my driveway, but Jose refused and said he’d keep it in his shop. He told me that if I decided I didn’t want the car fixed in his shop, we can have another shop bring over their tow truck to get my car. He also told us he’ll call our insurance company to find out whether insurance will cover the damages. The next day, I decided it’s best to bring my car to another shop that was recommended to me by a friend. I went to pick my car up and brought my own tow company to assist me. However, Jose refused to allow another company tow the car and insisted that he would tow the car to our location. The bill came out to be $ 478. The paper I signed stated that I would be charged $ 125 for each tow, $ 25 for the first 3 storage days, and $ 4 per mile. My bill should have came out to approximately $ 307. When I spoke to Jose about the price, he was very defensive and kept cutting me off, not allowing me to talk. When I tried explaining to him that this wasn’t the price we have settled on, he argued that I was feeling entitled. He brought up the fact that he had dropped my brother and I home (he failed to mention it would result in an extra charge beforehand). He also claimed that we should be paying him even more because he took the time to help us call our insurance company. He then brought up the fact that he even had to wake up 2am to assist us in the accident, which in my opinion is ridiculous. I didn’t choose his company to assist in the towing process, the police did. Also, if he sees his job as such a hassle, he should have told the police he wasn’t going to do it, and we would have called another towing company that would actually do their job correctly. Jose stated on the bill that we left the car in storage for 2 days, which was incorrect. When I brought this up, he asked me why I was worrying about the price since insurance is going to cover it anyways. We negotiated and settled on the price of $ 400, which in my opinion, is still high. This is a very dishonest and unprofessional company.
