Going to go with that is fake. Its over $7000. No way anyone could get away with that unless it was multiple overturned semis.

It was originally posted on the Chesterfield resident FB page. It was for an Escape that was rear ended. The tow yard wont release the vehicle until its paid in cash and are not letting the insurance company use a check or card either.

I can not read that bill, can someone please tell me what the charges are and the totals?

Towing is fucked in our area. It's unregulated by the state so they can literally put whatever the hell they want on the bill and see if someone will pay it. Your also looking at a tow truck from Redford that probably heard about the pile up and decided to see if someone would flag them down so they could just stack charges on them/ins company. Unfortunately some shady people ruin things for everyone else.

$2,920!?!?!?

I guess I did read that correctly!

That is literally highway robbery!

I bet a small claims court would take care of that in short order.

I saw this post on the Woodward page and there was comments about the address not even being valid. I've saw some valid outrageous tow bills but even they were still under $1,000.
