I recently got stuck. The local sheriff called Jim's to come winch me out. The truck arrived within 20 minutes. The driver refused to use the vehicle manufacturer's tow hook, but instead hooked onto my left front wheel support and winched me sideways, which altered my front end alignment, resulting in the need for a front end alignment that would not have been necessary if the tow hook had been used. This cost me about an additional $100. When the driver presented me the bill, he refused to take my credit card, and insisted that he could only accept cash. Since I didn't have enough cash on hand to pay the bill, he insisted that his only option then was to take my vehicle. He also told me that since this was a Friday after business hours, the soonest I could retrieve my vehicle was the following Monday. When I arrived to retrieve my vehicle the following Monday, despite the fact that the business stated that they opened at 8 am, the person with the keys to enable me to get to my vehicle didn't arrive until about 8:30 am. Since he took my vehicle, the bill I was required to pay to retrieve my vehicle was more than twice the winch charge that he asked for when he winched me out. I paid the bill using my credit card without issue. This company's business practices cost me significantly more than the value of the service provided.

I got into an accident and called AAA for a tow . My vehicle was not in the road in the way at all . These guys showed up and loaded my car onto the flat bed when I realized they weren’t aaa I asked them to remove my car I already called for a tow he told me the cops called him but that’s a lie because I spoke with the cop and they were fine with me calling my own tow since I wasn’t in the road. They charged me 300$ for basically stealing my car and driving 4 miles to their shop. They’re scumbags
