Pray your car never ends up at this place, the attitude of the place and their employees are one of the worst. They clearly have signs that says we accept credit cards but when you ask them they say no. EXACT Payment in Cash Only, $241 to be “exact”. The receipt states the exact amount is $240.18 NOT $241, so you already know you are getting scammed if they ask for $241. They do the job of rounding up to $241 for you without telling you first, and you have to pay first before even seeing this receipt.

Spoke to jose and he charged me for 2days when my vehicle was just picked up yesterday. she overcharged me and unfortunately we would have to take legal action since he does not want to refund my money that he overcharged me.

I can’t believe I’m writing this about a towing company, but our overall experience was cool. We are not from the area, let alone the state .. and with Uber fares being $70+ for an 8 minute drive to the towing company itself already set the tone for how the night was going to be. But surprisingly, it went pretty smooth. The lady told us the price once we arrived which was way cheaper than what she originally said on the phone, so we were grateful about that.However, no one was rude. I felt this was necessary to put because I was surprised after looking at the reviews. Tbh, we were in the wrong and had to pay the consequence for it.But a tip for the business.. The place is definitely sketchy looking on the outside. So I f you are a woman I would NOT suggest going by yourself late at night. They should invest in some lighting to make people feel like it’s an actual establishment, especially for late night tows.

They Towed my car while the hazard where on and initially said the tow was going to be 218 when I got to the location after 30 mins it was magically 263 . They hit the under carriage of my car in the process . I recently purchased my car so I’m definitely suing

I do not understand how this place is working when they have a bad service this company what they have is a business with the owners of apartments near the area they towed my vehicle I was in a visitors parking lot and next to it there is a car that carries 6 months abandoned in the complex and that car does not touch it I went to recover my vehicle and the manager is rude and ill-mannered and they want to charge different amounts of money from people and if you do not have the papers that show that the vehicle is yours, no They let you take it out as if the papers are inside your own vehicle. This company should close. I dont understand how the government allows them to continue working.

I came with a young woman who had her car towed from my apartment complex and we had to walk into this shady little alley so I accompanied her to ensure she wasn’t alone and they forced me to wait outside. This is a horrible place in an unsafe area unwilling to allow people to keep one another safe. They also accuse people of not having the same signature as their drivers license. This place shouldn’t be allowed to operate anymore.

The absolutely worse towing company.. the window attendant was very slow. My car had got towed from my apartments and was literally sitting for 3 hours.. I got charged an additional $20 for a “day” tow of my car sitting in their raggedy yard. The tow itself was $174 but they added extra expenses on top of that.. don’t let your nicely up to date year car get towed because your vehicle will NOT be returned the same way.. it’s been a couple hours since my tow and returned car and my car is squeaking.. the tow company is definitely a rip off..

This Storage should be shut down for good because all they do is scamming people. Everyone has basically his own price in this garbage called Storage meaning the price one will tell and when you get someone else will tell you a different price but Ill file a complaint cause this is JUST RIDICULOUS!!!!!!! I wish I could rate them o instead of 1*

This place is a joke. Anyone who gets their vehicle towed here should call the police and have them meet you at the location because this place does not operate within the standards of Texas penal code. Upon reading reviews and going there myself, I had hands on experience dealing with this company. The people on the phone deliberately made fun of my situation and laughed on the phone. Little do they know the line was being recorded to show how unprofessionally they are. They need their business license revoked.

I wish I could post 0 stars! My colleague vehicle was towed from my apartment. The man behind the counter had absolutely no customer service or approach. On arrival he greated us with an aggressive tone and said no ID then you cannot touch the vehicle, when we asked him what alternative methods we could us to prove ownership he slammed the door in my face and close the blind. We had to call the police.

Review №28

I called to ask for information about my car, in which was towed from my apartment complex. My vehicle had a valid parking permit. The man first told me that it would be $200 and then changed it to $240. When I stated that he first told me a different amount he told me that I needed to get my ears cleaned. This has been by far the worst customer service experience.

If I could give them a zero I would. These people targeted my son while he was in an interview! He wasnt in a tow away zone nor was he parked illegally. This place lied to us several times when our family members called to find out the situation. They damaged my son car and then told me his car was on hold by the police and would not let any pick it up though they are on the insurance. My son is not from Houston, he was there for an interview. He just graduated college last week, and had received his new car for his graduation. This place is despicable, and tried to make it seem like my son was a threat when obviously they are, and they have picked on the wrong kid. I plan on owning the tow company when it is all said and down. His cousin is a major politician in Houston, and his uncle is a major attorney in Dallas. They will be sued and better hope they arent shut down when it is all over. They have really picked on the wrong person.

Horrible just horrible. The lady hidden behind the glass was yelling and displayed disgusting customer service and lied about the prices on the phone and charged extra when I arrived to retrieve my vehicle. This company is extremely fraudulent, and refused to take my card saying cash only but they dont have a ATM on site seems like extortion is going on.

These people must have a shady deal with ranosh grill. I parked across the street on a property that doesnt even belong to them and there was no no parking signs on said property. The no parking sign is for the street. Im sure thats illegal. I had a food order to deliver FOR RANOSH and their valet guy calls the tow company. I was in and out in 3 minutes and my car was gone. Then they charge me $240 to give me my car back. They deserve to be investigated and shut down.

This place is worse ever. I honestly wish I could put a zero rating. There customer service so called “representatives” are THE WORSE. Their staff was very disrespectful to customers. My car was towed I went to retrieve it and had their staff disrespected both my friend and myself. My car was damaged. I was then told by another VERY RUDE STAFF that they did not damaged my brand new car and to make matters worse THIS SO CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE REP HUNG UP THE PHONE. I would not recommend this place to no one.

Review №41

This company is fully aware that their tow truck drivers have been wrongfully towing cars on private property. They have been going into privately owned Condominium Properties and towing away cars that are legally parked in the visitors parking spaces. They have been doing so for a very long time and action should be taken against them immediately.

Review №42

Worst place ever! They are rude. Want to claim your signature doesnt match your TDL. they try and overcharge for prices, and cant be regulated. They must have under the radar relationships with certain businesses around their shady, back alley company as my car was towed from a business around the corner from them while I was gone for only 5 minutes. This place should not be in business any longer.

Horrible and disrespectful people running the place. They are always finding ways to tag on fees even when you have accepted to pay their fee stated clearly on their notice board outside.I had to call the police just to get them to release my car although i had agreed to pay. They think they are law enforcement group over there. Please know your rights before you get there and i encourage you to call the police if the start playing these games. There is an 1800 number outside no not hesitate to use it.I do believe in honest living and hard work dont bully people.

My car was towed 2 hours ago and they charged me $240. Someone stood there and watched us park and as soon as we walked away they towed our car. The man at the window when we got there could barley speak English, couldn’t understand anything he was saying. The people were screaming back and forth to eachother and were super unprofessional. We weren’t in a towing zone so we took pictures and videos of where we were parked. Taking it to court. These people and this company are trash.

Review №53

The company is running an illegal racketerring scam. Their tow truck driver waits in a parking lot and targets vehicles parked in safe and legal parking zones. They do this as soon as you turn your back and walk into a business. It happens in seconds. They impound your vehicle and keep raising the release price with exorbitant fees as soon as you show up to get your vehicle. They have been reported to BBB and the Houston Police. Do everything possible to put these people out of business.

This place has a disgusting customer service. The man helping the window told me to put my child in the another vehicle if I want it to know how much I owed in fees.

I can’t believe how unprofessional these people are. When I called to ask if my car was there he was very rude and disrespectful and answered the phone saying “what”. Then he told me it would be $200. My car was there for 10 hours. From 12:30 am to 10 am. When I get there he tells me it’s going to be $240 and I said that’s not what you said over the phone and he said “then you need to open your ears and listen.” These people are the scum of the earth and take advantage of you because they have your car. I’m very sorry for anyone who ever has to deal with these people.

An employee who goes by Kal forged my signature on a receipt and stole almost half the money he charged me to get my car out of storage. I have already reported this to the HPD Auto Dealer Detail and hope they punish this crime and ensure it is not repeated. If not, I will taking this to court myself. A bunch of no good crooks. And another employee Gina may also be involved. If your car is towed there be very careful when you approach. They are sick evil people.

Review №72

The tow truck driver for this company (also known as Parking Management Company) illegally entered my vehicle and removed my parking decal from the windshield area and placed it in the back floorboards, took a photo of my windshield to show there was no decal displayed, then towed my car to Poppys auto salvage yard off Campbell Road that ended up costing me $218.00 (that I didnt have to spare due to my upcoming heart surgery). This company is not listed with the Texas State Comptrollers Officer nor is the Assume Name Certificate valid for the business. I will report and file a complaint against this company with the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration. I have every reason to believe the tow truck driver has served time in the Tex. Dept. of Corrections for theft. The company is not legit...DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PLACE.

These guys have a pretty good scam going by towing folks with really deceptive signs. They will lie to you and say the are not associated with the towing company PMC so they can charge you more. They stake out customers eating at Pollo Campero on Bellaire by sitting across the street regardless if you go into the businesses next door or not. I was told by one of the business there that they tow about 10 cars a day from where they got me. $218.00 I was charged and they charge you a full day for storage even though I picked up the car in less then 30 minutes. They are a real piece of work........
