The Puyallup Towing team arrived on scene when I was involved in a car accident. Puyallup Towing Driver Wes was very professional and assessed the damage to my vehicle appropriately to ensure more damage wasn’t incurred. Wes made sure my vehicle was blocked and clear from more damage when loading on the flatbed and was unloaded at the collision center in a safe and timely manner to retrieve my belongings.From calling dispatch to towing to a local collision center, total trip time was 45 minutes.If you’re looking for a professional, timely and safe company look no further than Puyallup Towing.
Im wasting money on aaa for them to not even be able to come tow my car. Dont trust many companies to tow my husbands lowered car. I do trust Puyallup towing drivers.But didnt realize they no longer do calls for federal way.
My driver was amazing!!! Took very, very good care of my 52 Buick. Absolutely amazing training that this man had. He needs a cost of living increase or bonus!!!
Super fast with quotes and great customer service. The guy who came to pick up the car, lots of knowledge of what he is doing. Definitely worth it and would recommend.
Jake is amazing!! He has towed for us a few times when we have called and he always has a smile on his face and gets the job done right! Thank you!!
Shout out to the brothers that run this business I went through my insurance to get a tire change and Ben was at my house within 30 min! Super chill & knowledgeable guy! I already made copies of their business card and gave it to my fam & friends just in case!!! Got work fellas!! 💪🏽
Would not recommend to my worse enemy I waited two hours for what was supposed to be an hour then I called them again and they said another hour and half no thanks. I recommend Liberty towing they actually got to me a reasonable time!
I called my car insurance to get a tow as my car wouldn’t start. Puyallup Towing was dispatched and was there in less than 40 minutes. Matt was the driver and when he heard it might be my battery, he ended up jumping it, and cancelled my tow. Matt was super friendly. What a great experience. Would recommend this company!5 stars!
Outstanding, picked up my truck and dropped it off at my house before I made it home from work. You guys rock
Puyallup Towing was Awesome!I called another tow co. first, the guy was sooo rude.P.T was professional, kind and did exactly as promised. They asked if I was in a safe place.The truck driver called to let me know how long I would have to wait.Dont hesitate to call them!!They just did a tire change for me.
Thomas helped me out and was lovely! He was friendly and super helpful. Service was quick and very moderately priced.
Called on a Saturday about getting a classic car towed to Gig Harbor on Monday. No hassles, on time and car was delivered safely. Recommended!!
Came quickly to my rescue when nobody else was available, and was very reasonably priced!
Great company helped me more then I expected thanks Puyallup towing
We had an amazing experience with our tower, Becca. She was friendly, professional and and showed that she genuinely cared about our safety. We even received pleasant conversation on the way to our drop off destination. She is an asset employee to Puyallup Towing.
Briana was terrific on getting my car unlocked for me. Showed up early and got it unlocked extremely fast. I hope she is the one to show up for my next service
Last night Michael and his trainee came to help me get back into my vehicle after my vehicle decided to lock behind me while I was getting gas. I am so thankful that they came faster than my insurance company told me that they would. They were kind and fast and got me back in my vehicle. I felt bad when a guy parked behind their flat bed and was yelling as they went to leave telling them to make sure not to roll back on his car. Michael and Brianna did an amazing job even working around a jerk who parked so closely that he almost hit the wheel lift on their truck. I would recommend puyallup towing to anyone I know based on the quality of service provided. Thank you both so much!
Very good and very professional guys. Always get there in a timely manner and they always do their job with the utmost professionalism.
I called them early in the morning and was greeted with a friendly voice. They got my info really quick and told me a driver would be there soon. They had a truck out to me within the hour. Incredibly fast service. Driver was courteous and professional. (Thanks Jake!) And the tow was less expensive than I thought it was going to be. Class act all around. I’d use them again if I ever need it.
The driver was very knowledgeable about his job. They also got to me in a timely manner. I would use them again.
Jerod was very helpful as I navigated a very touchy situation with my stolen car that Puyallup Towing recovered. The charges were fair and he even cut me a good deal to tow it home.
Needed the battery jump started. Dispatch answered on the first ring and the driver was out in less time than promised.
I got stuck on a bump and was high center down by the beach and Wes from Puyallup towing came down and saved or suv. Wes was able to do what looked like towing magic and lifted our car off this tricky bumb and I was able to drive it home after. If it wasnt for Wes at Puyallup towing or Suv could have been damaged but he saved it with his expertise. Thank you Wes at Puyallup Towing!!
I was very impressed by the politeness and their communication skills. I highly recommend them!
Michael was the operator who came to tow my car in Wilkeson. He was super professional and comforting. Really helpful and would use again if needed.
They have a very bad attitude towards there employee and they are very disrespectful to people
Very satisfied with this company, called they said they would be there in 45 minutes and they were on time and very affordable and have zero issues letting them haul my corvette. Would use them again. But hope I dont have to. Thanks again for your service !!!
Jacob gave my car a jump after my car battery died. He was prompt and very friendly. He is a true professional. I would recommend Puyallup Towing to anyone in the 253 looking for fast service.
The guy showed up 2 hours LATE which even the dispatcher from triple A was confused. When he finally put my car on the truck to transport it he said he would meet me there but had stops to make along the way which I understand if this was a free tow. It wasn’t. So you need to have dropped my vehicle off immediately because that’s what I’m paying for. Not for you to run errands dragging my damn car around
Matt, the fleet manager, was dispatched to tow my car yesterday and he was super nice and friendly! Unfortunately he couldn’t get my car on his tow hooks so he had to have a flat bed dispatched. While I was waiting for the flatbed to get there he stayed with me on the side of the road to make sure I was safe until Wes arrived. Wes arrived within 10 minutes of being dispatched to us. Once Wes got there they loaded my car and got me home super quickly! Thank you Matt and Wes for making sure I got home safely! I will forever call puyallup towing anytime I need tow services!
Very prompt service, friendly, easy to work with.
Jason was very helpful, friendly and fast. Totally appreciated the help.
Got into accident on a merging ramp of the highway and they were quick and super friendly
Very friendly and professional company. Driver was an absolute pleasure to have working on my car. Dispatcher was also very good with updates and keeping me assured they were on the way.
First time needing a tow. I got Bo as my driver. Absolutely amazing. He made me feel so much better about the situation. If I ever need a tow again I will definitely request him.
My tow truck driver assign to me was Chris. He was very nice and professional. Easy to talk and understood my situation. Helped me and worked with me which is not something easy to find in the tow truck industry.
On time and courteous. Thanks, Wes.
I appreciated the update calls to notify me of his ETA. Also, while he was filling out the paperwork he noticed that we had the address of the repair shop further away rather than the closest one to me. Im so glad the driver caught that! It was my intention to have the car taken to the closer one....and he saved me money! Thank You!
Ryan was quick and efficient on getting my car up and running. Dead batteries and no fun. Great service and we are so happy to be back on the road.
They were friendly and fast and right on time
Wes arrived and got my car hooked up and taken home very quickly. He was very friendly and polite. Would recommend this company to anyone and if youre lucky enough to get Wes as your drive driver its a plus.
I work at 1 Stop Services Towing & Recovery in Federal Way and I‘ve talked to a dispatch here and she’s real nice and every time a driver from Puyallup Towing comes down to get a vehicle for someone out of impound they are so nice too! not many people from towing companies are friendly. I enjoy you guys!
Thomas is one of the best tow truck drivers. I always know that my corvette is in good hands when I hear thomas is on the way.
Puyallup Towing, was sent out as the provider for AAA. I had a relatively short tow to a shop about a mile away. My driver was Chris (I think). He called when he was close to my pick up location and had my car loaded on the bed of his truck in a few minutes. I rode in the tow truck to drop off my car at the shop. As a former tow truck driver I was impressed by the efficiency of the driver.
Showed up when I was told they would. Hooked up quickly and was great to deal with. Hopefully dont have to call again but I would. All in all it was a good experience on a bad evening lol.
My car quit on Highway 16 on Saturday. I managed to pull into the cemetery and called Puyallup Towing. Chris arrived, he was pleasant and courteous and did a phenomenal job.Id like to thank Chris publicly for all that he did for me and made my experience comfortable. I will certainly call them again if I have to be towed. This was my first experience being towed.Sincerely,Stephanie
They had someone out to us right away, unlocked the car in about 5 seconds. Quick, efficient & friendly.
My car of 15 years finally breaks down on 167... on New Years... nothings open.... these guys connect me with the tow driver directly, worked out specifics with him immediately, came in 15 minutes. Whipped out the invoice right there and payed them up-front. Grabbed all my crud out of the car and Boe took care of the rest! Didn’t even break $160 to tow it 14 miles. Great work on these guys, even when on a holiday. Thanks Puyallup Towing! And Thank you Boe!
I have dealt with several towing companies in my lifetime and OMG, this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had from the person on the phone to the tow truck driver. I received several calls of the driver’s eta.
Wes was super awesome and helpful! He got there very quickly and took no more than a couple minutes to unlock my door! He was such a pleasure, and I honestly couldnt believe how smooth and efficient everything was. Thank you Wes and Puyallup Towing!!!
Professional, on time. Very friendly. Thank you
Can’t remember the drivers name, but he was quick, efficient and nice. Never fun to have to get a car towed when you’re stranded but a friendly person helping out makes the situation a little easier. Thanks!
Insurance setup towing with this company. Driver called to let me know he was otw.Friendly guy named Wes. Well mannered and professional, he made it fast and painless. We had a nice chat otw. Dropping the car off was even faster. In no time he was off to the next call.
These folks held the tow contract for my insurance company and for awhile I got to see them like once a week!!! They always keep you informed of arrival and contact info if you have questions. They are really busy but they always took the time to answer my questions and if they couldnt help me referred me to reliable businesses in the community. As tow companies go I would pick them over the bigger ones!!! Call them first all your towing needs small or large or long hauls too!!! Thank you guys for taking care of me and getting me and all my cars where they needed to be I couldnt move without ya and Im glad you guys are around cause literally I picked my insurance because of you!! Teresa Holloway
Jake came out on short notice to move my vehicles from the front of my house to the driveway. He was friendly and parked them right where I asked him to. Out of the three tow truck companies I called Puyallup had a truck with the dolly which is what I needed due to the slope of the driveway. Will recommend and use this company in the future.
Ive been trying to get a tow for days now, this is the only company that was able to help me out on the FIRST attempt. They are very great to work with, and they arrived 40 minutes earlier than their ETA that was given. The tow guy, Jake, was very friendly and he works fast. Love these guys.
I needed to have my car towed to my apartment to have my service guy fix the problem which caused it to die suddenly on my way home and stranded me for a few hours until my wife could get me the night before. I called Triple A and they told me that a truck would come out to where I was in an hour.Nate from Puyallup Towing came in less than an hour and was super professional getting my car secured fast but still used every safety measure a man in his field has to abide by. He was a class act and was extremely friendly and understanding.These guys also work QUICKLY and efficiently. The whole process took less than an hour and he was kind enough to release and park my car perfectly in my spot 30ft across from my wife & I’s apartment.Id definitely use them again and request Triple A to contact Nate or anyone else at Puyallup Towing that is available. Highly Recommend.Thanks Nate!Ali & Sarah
I had to have my car towed yesterday and the service provided by Beau of Puyallup Towing was excellent. He was very courteous and kept me updated on when he would be arriving. Its never fun when you have problems with your car but Beaus expertise and great customer service made a bad situation as pleasant as possible. Hopefully I will not be needing tow service anytime soon but if I do I will definitely call Puyallup Towing.
Geico hooked me up with Puyallup towing and gave me a time and dollar estimate. Nate, my driver texted and called he was on his way and got their early and took great care of me. Took every safety precaution and took pics before and after the drop off. Trip was from Tacoma to Olympia where my shop was and great conversation and professional the whole way. Great job Nate! Grateful for your help.
I had the BEST experience with puyallup towing. I get off work after a long day and come to find my car in the parking garage won’t start. I assumed (hoped) it was just a dead battery so I called Puyallup towing to come give me a jump. Wes came to help me. First he tried the jump box. Didn’t work. Then he tried actual jumper cables. Didn’t work. Then he and I brainstormed about what else the problem could be. He was very helpful and took his time, he did not make me feel rushed or like an inconvenience at all. Once we exhausted all options he offered to call for a tow that night but I had things to do so I decided to wait until morning. The next day, I called for a tow and Wes came out to help me again! It was nice to see a friendly familiar face. My car was parked in a low clearance garage so one tow truck had to come to get me out of the garage then they transferred my car to another tow truck to be towed home. They were both friendly and awesome. They worked quickly and efficiently. I’ve been towed by other companies before and had less than great experiences. I cannot thank Wes and Puyallup towing enough for helping me in a time of need and making me feel comfortable and taken care of completely. Thank you!
I had an experience with Puyallup Towing that can only be summed up as childish and vindictive. They are very unprofessional and I feel consumers should be aware of this fact before considering doing any dealings with this towing outfit. They attempted to have AAA not honor emergency roadside assistance with my vehicle simply for the fact that I had a dispute with them over a discrepancy with my bill. They lied to the dispatcher about whether the vehicle was driveable, which it was not. The brakes were faulty on my 2006 Mercedes Benz and was unsafe to drive. So after having to speak with a supervisor of AAA I was able to have my vehicle towed despite Puyallup Towings efforts to invalidate it. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THEIR SERVICES!
I needed a tow yesterday afternoon and my driver, Michael, made what could have been a really miserable experience into a pretty great afternoon. Michael was fast, polite, professional and very friendly without crossing the line into creepy. He was engaging and helped distract me from my car problems and made me wish that ALL tow truck drivers were more like him. Aside from his manner, Michael was also very skilled, delivering my car right into my driveway (a very tight fit with other cars parked in it) with no trouble at all, even joking that he could have done better and left himself too much space. He was so great that when he dropped me and my car off that my mom jokingly said that we should keep him! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience and even though I dont want to need a tow ever again, if I do, Puyallup Towing will be my first choice every time!
They had better reviews then others listed. Customer service was very nice and helpful and the driver was exceptionally nice and walked us through everything. I would use them again.
My lovely BMW lost power on the freeway yesterday and I called roadside assistance through Geico. The response time was amazing (about 30 min whereas I once waited for 3 hrs with another tow company) and despite not having the tow accessory in the car, Leif (Lee) was able to get it on the bed without much of a problem. Not to mention the outstanding customer service; he explained everything in great detail. I dont know much about cars but I understood what was going on at all times. Thanks again!
1st time getting my car towed, service was great! Customer service was amazing, stuff was really friendly and nice! Would totally recommend.
Very knowledgeable and courteous service. The driver was on time and helped us out of a tough situation. 5 stars!
The tow truck got here in no time at all, i was originally told an hour he was there in 12 minutes maybe less, cool dude, he said his name was justin, either way he did his job with precision and in a timely manner. This guy deserves a raise.
How are they still in business? There is a reason why they have 5, 1 start reviews within 3 months!! READ THE REVIEWS before taking a chance on these guys. I called them to report that damage was caused when my truck was towed by them. The metal part on the yellow strap they use damaged my front right rim. I just got these a month ago and paid $2000 for them. The manager told me that he has never heard of their strap damaging rims and that he is not entitled to take responsibility and to take him to court if I wanted anything done. He was completely rude when I called concerned and looking for help. This totally took me by surprise because when I went to pick up my truck the employees seemed to be so nice (of course up until you confront them about damages they caused). They clearly dont care about having returning customers or respect other peoples property. Not the first time this happens. Look them up on Facebook and you will see a similar post like mine. Give your money to someone who will take care of your car as if it was theirs. All these people care about is taking your money and wont own up to any damage they caused to your vehicle. No idea why I can’t post a picture of the damage with this review. But I sure was able to on Yelp.
I question who they assign to work on the phones and make contact with customers. This morning I needed my car towed from the Puyallup Train station to the Volvo dealership in Fife. Geico assigned Puyallup towing to the towing. I proactively called Puyallup towing to give them the vehicle info and advise them that I was not there, I could however open the car from an app, and my wife was close by (5min) if they needed someone to be present. I could not get a word in to the lady that answered the call. She asked if I was going to be present and I said no, before I could elaborate, she said we can’t tow the car and the parking lots are small to fit a 20f truck. My wife could move the car. I park at a self pay lot with reasonable space on Fridays, could not not get that word in either. At last I requested to explain “ can I please explain myself?” And the lady hang up on me. Such a frustrating experience dealing with such incompetent personnel. No remorse, to care for a customer, I wonder why Geico uses this vendor anyway. This was a bad experience. I called back to give the lady a chance to explain herself, she misrepresented her statement that the owner/manager does not work on Fridays when earlier she said the owner was there. Take your business elsewhere! I did, some else just towed the car the same I hoped Puyallup Towing would have done it.
When you need their service they come. Awesome crew.
Serious horrible!! My van wouldnt start so I called to get a tow puyallup towing seems reasonable priced. But they got my van to my house and I asked them if they could put the van in a certain place. The guy goes oh well no and turns the key and my van turns on. Like seriously! He couldnt called a say hey your van over turned would you still like it towed but no. Looks like its all about the money. Which is really sad because I used my grocery money to get my van towed home so it wouldnt be impounded. If I could make a negative staring I would. Im so sick about this. How horrible that all you care about money!!!
The best service.Was at my place to help within half an hour.
Our truck ended up in a ditch on soft ground. Brandon from puyallup towing was amazing. He knew what he was doing, he analyzed the situation and paid attention to detail...he even gave my husband and I high visability coats while we were on the side of the road so cars could see us. It took him about an hour to get the truck out of the ditch without any damage.... Im very thankful for his hard work and dedication.
Do not use this company, they dont know what they are doing. I went through my insurance company and they sent out a guy from Engles to tow our truck. My husband told the tow truck driver that the rear end is locked. He would need Dollys slates and he can not pull it. He told us to get in his cab while he gets the truck up and he starts forcing our truck up the ramp!!! Are you kidding me! My husband had to hop out of the cab in the tow truck and tell him to stop. I was upset about it so I called to speak with a manager. I spoke with Jake and he didnt even acknowledge the fact that what his tow truck driver did was wrong, he just made a bunch of excuses and then gave me attitude. I told him in detail what happened and then he had the nerve to ask me if I get mad when people tell me how to do my job... I said no I manage a dental office and I deal with all sorts of people, and never do I give them attitude like that. He then proceeded to laugh at my answer. I told him clearly I was wasting my time talking to him and got off the phone. We had to call state patrol to to get another tow truck company out. Another tow truck driver named Bob came that knew what he was doing. He also stated that the other tow truck driver never should have forced our truck. Keep in mind the guy from Engles towing pulled our truck for 183. I have pictures to prove it and my truck is going in the shop first thing in the morning. We will be mentioning what this company did and hopefully no further damage was caused. If there was they will be hearing from me and if they laugh at me again we will take legal action. Horrible company to deal with, I understand people make mistakes but when you contact management they should not laugh at you, and should address your concerns!
Exhaust broke on my harley. Just had it worked on so was in an absolute horrible mood. Called Geico and they contacted Puyallup Towing. About 15 minutes later I got a text saying who was coming and that it would be about an hour until arrival. About 40 minutes later, Keith showed up and completely changed my mood. Nice clean truck showed up and a pleasant, friendly driver jumped out. Completely put me at ease. Got the bike on the bed of his truck and could tell he double and triple checked everything. Got in the truck and it was clean and smelled great. Headed up to Renton and was super relaxed. Just an overall amazing experience. Really appreciated!I hope I never need to be towed again, but if I do, I’ll never call anyone else!
My car broke down and I needed it towed home. Nate was friendly and professional. I would recommend this company.
So I locked my keys in my car. And I needed alittle help. Wes was able to get to me in less then a hour and help me get into my car in seconds of getting out of his truck. I just wanted to thank Wes for not only getting me into y car. But while he was doing it he had a smile on his face the whole time.very friendly and refreshing to see a friendly face. He made my bad day. Into a not so bad day. Thanks again wes
THE MOST HORRIBLE TOWING COMPANY IN WASHINGTON! Unless you want repeated problems I suggest you use a better company. They damage customer cars, admit to it then dont fix the damage. They charge old vehicle owners for impounded cars that are no longer in their name and continue to bill and harras them... Save yourself a headache and use someone else!
Wes from Puyallup towing did a great job. Wasnt in a rush so getting a call a 15 mins out from pick up worked perfect for me. Got the car out of the Costco parking lot quickly. Met me at home a 10 mins later to drop the car off, and helped me push it in place. Would deffinetly use them again.
Worst customer service ever. GEICO dispatched me here and the lady who awnsers the phone Bianca is very rude and uprofessional . After asking her when someone was coming to my vehicle for towing she lied immediately and said oh I talk to you twice and notified you of your drivers estimated arrival time. When I asked her to elaborate on our conversation after catching her in a lie 2 times she couldnt because she never called me. She said oh I apologize and nothing more. I asked why did she feel the need to lie about contacting me she became defensive then had the nerve to tell me not to curse at her. Then she puts the manager Jake on the phone who was a little better to talk to at first but then he tells me he doesnt know when my tow is coming and he will be here when he gets here. Very piss poor service and horrible for a business to provide service. For the bad customer service Im sure karma will serve them a good one and have those two experience the same horrible customer service they are providing when they are stranded in need of a towing.
Puyallup Towing did a great job getting my truck to my house. Very friendly and professional drivers!! I highly recommend!!
Very professional tow truck driver was especially good and was willing to help fix the problem before he towed it Wich was very nice of him as most tow company’s would charge or just tow it to your location thanks again for your fast response to my situation wich we resolved !! Thanks again Puyallup towing !!
From Hell to HolinessJust got my car back from the shop, the wheel was not placed on right. Needless to say Im not happy. I had to have it towed because its unsafe to drive.Puyallup towing responded, employee JOHN assisted me. This guy is awesome!!! He was kind, personable, and most of all compitant. Mr JOHN graced me with enough small talk to take my mind off my hellatish morning, and offer kind words of encouragement. I know he was doing his job but it felt sincere, I even felt bad that he had to get on the ground to connect the car😕.The way you treat people matters, thank you JOHN from PUYALUUP TOWING.
Puyallup towing has always been there for me and all my coworkers at WrapJax. All the drivers are on time, professional, and friendly. There is a great towing company out there, hire these guys!
Terrible. The woman that answered my call immediately sounded annoyed and tired. She had an attitude with me when I had a simple question.
Locked my keys in my car, they were extremely fast and got my keys out in minutes.
Wish I could give this 0 stars well march 18th 2019 I got into a car accident it wasnt my fault I get towed by there company and ask to just drop it off to my companys body shop the insurance said they will pay for it the drive takes me to there place and get picked up there I ask for my tools and show them my registration they tell me no my manager calls and they tell him to send a letter saying I can grab my stuff I go in the place says 24 hours the dispatch front desk lady tells me I need to pay $90 for an after hours fee to pick up my tools cant work without tools they wont take payment over the phone so I go back today march 20th 2019 with all the papers needed the man at the front tells me I need notarize papers and tells me no Im being polite the whole time and say okay its whatever Ill get it handled then he blows up on me for no reason and tells me you know what with your attitude you can bring your manager here to get your van and tools my manager lives in utah I dont know why he acted like towards me but I dont not recommend these guys at all just created more problems
Staff is very helpful & polite! Service with a smile 😀😁
Thanks so much for helping me get my car to the Auto Shop! Went above and beyond to help me get things fixed!!!
Never showed ... Called Herbs Towing there in 5 minute s. Thank you David
Very unprofessional. Have used in the past & had a good experience,but not as of late.I will get my towing needs from different Co from now on...
Friendly people. Open 24 hours. Kinda pricey but I guess thats too be expected of towing.
Fast, polite service!
Kelly the receptionist was just horrible. Have never been in this situation before of a flat tire popping and I just needed ETAs, if the driver left yet, time to expect etc., i had school just within an hr from being dispatched and worst comes to worst i could have had my mom stay w my car while i went to school.. 60mins i wasnt sure was accurate or not when he was coming to me next(according to her) and their shop is only 15 mins away.. She was impatient and rude. I just needed to make sure I would be on time to school and work or find someone to wait at my car for me. She then called Geico to cancel my service... Why, because I was asking questions? I told her I wasnt callinh to be rude or sound naggy but just asking. Now im super frusterated and will NEVER Suggest this place.. this didnt happen until i called and ask her name the 3rd call-20mins out. What a poor representation of the company. I even called to speak to a manager and every rep was the manager but couldnt provide an email so I could communicate that way. I feel like when you CHOSE TO WORK at a place like this you have to understand that people are frusterated and may be new to all of this and theres no reason to have such attitude and rudeness.
The guy was knowledgeable and professional, was nice
Sold my van now they impounded it I give them proof of sale now they wait 6 month send me to collections sorry buddy got a lawyer already on it
Always great service
Went to have my car picked up and things were stolen. When confronted about it was called a liar.
