Kennys Towing

Bipolar Tow Truck Driver:
I was driven off the road and into a ditch by a volunteer fireman who was using police lights and who fled the scene. By «ditch», I mean a 3 ’ deep ditch that even an all-​wheel drive SUV could not get out of. After calling 911 to report a hit and run, the sheriff’s deputy to arrive on scene called a DMV-​contracted tow truck. This review is not about the cowardly, nutcase fireman who did this, but about the towing company. I had to share this with the Unilocaling world…
Arriving at the scene was an gritty looking, elderly gentleman who appeared to have the use of only one arm. He would have made a fine looking pirate.
I was happy to have a tow truck to get my new SUV out of this muddy ditch and was a bit struck when he asked me where the front bumper bolt was located. However, I did not know what this was and told him so much (There was a plastic cover that when taken off reveals a place to screw in a large eye-​bolt).
Well, this kindly old man told started to heavily curse me with some serious sailor talk for not knowing this fact. I had to quickly fend off the strong impulse to tell him where to go and do and to move on and find another towing service. I ended up kindly informing him that it was his job to know and that is why I called. I wanted out of this ditch.
In response, he stared at me and declared that the fee was $ 100.00 and he only took cash — no checks or credit cards! And muttered something about the corrupt banking system and the mark of the beast. I didn’t have any cash, but figured that I would deal with this later on.
Elmer hooked up the winch and started to cool out. I asked the deputy why he sicked a hell hound on me and what what wrong with this f… ing guy. He told me that this guy was quite a «character.» Character?
Cutting to the chase, a simple winching job was not working, and I was sweating about how much damage my car was going to take. This coot then devised a clever apparatus using a come along and a nearby Oak tree that pulled her out without a scratch.
The driver was now normal behaving having come off his adrenaline rush and was actually pleasant. He told me that the fee was now $ 50.00 and that he would take a personal check. I gave him $ 60.00 and he waived goodbye as Santa Claus would at the mall.
Personal service sucked, but this guy knows how to carefully and effectively do his business. You bet that I would call this guy again.
