I was with Shawn U. and witness the pathetic reaction this Anthony guy had over a situation that he managed poorly, it's as simple as that.
He could have just been a nice guy from the beginning about the situation and been HONEST about everything; apologized for the inconvenience and been sincere about the ETA. At least in that situation we could have decided to wait or get a different tow truck but it would have been OUR choice and we could have had options but no, he started with a bad attitude from the beginning when we were just asking him how much longer we needed to wait for him after his driver didn't show.
It's not our fault he only has 2 trucks, one being in Santa Monica at that moment and the other one in that alleged accident. If he didn't have the resources to complete the tow in a timely fashion, he could have just cancelled the tow, especially after they had the "accident", and had another provider take care of us but no; he wants to still make his money at our expense and time and not to mention lie so that he doesn't come out losing; are they serious? We would have been fine waiting for him, especially if he had told us the truth but after 2 hours of waiting wouldn't you be aggravated? Especially after the inconvenience of requiring a tow in the first place. We had to call him for updates, never did he once call us to inform us of an alleged accident or the status of his driver.
He wants US to be patient and considerate, especially after lying to us TWICE, when his yard was only a 7 minute drive from us. We literally drove there and back in my car! Don't even get me started on his "yard" man, it looks more like a little corporate office with a mini parking lot. He clearly has room for only 2 trucks, there's no way he can fit more in there. He clearly isn't making much money from this because the business looks malnourished. There's no way to get inside or contact him or anyone for that matter at his "place of business", only through the phone (where he can clearly hang up on us), there is no sign to his business anywhere; no way of knowing it actually exists on that street, we saw no employees, no type of foot or car traffic from his "business". Where is your business?
When we arrived to his business he had conveniently "just left", so we returned to the car to wait and after we get back to our other car this jerk has the audacity to cancel our tow?! He never told us he was going to cancel, we had to find this out from the insurance. He told the insurance he cancelled our tow because we had gotten into an "altercation", how?! Over the phone? Because we told you we were tired of waiting and for you to give us an honest answer?
This guy is pathetic, he cancel us and what does he tell us when we confront him? "I cancelled your tow because of your yelp review". Well how do you expect someone to not give you a bad review when the service you're providing us is shit Anthony? That's just a sign of a petty sad man, we were in need of help and they did not deliver in any aspect whatsoever.
This SMALL business with limited resources, clearly a beginner in the business, has no customer management skills but wants amazing ratings and for people to wait on him so he can make money while his 2 TRUCKS struggle to meet the high demands he puts on his company.
Quite simply, get a REAL towing company to help you when you're in an emergency. A real company, with real resources, real people skills, real employees who are real when unexpected situations arise.
Anyone who requires a tow is already having a shitty day. All American Alliance? Yeah, allied to come shit on it some more.
Not one star deserved.
UPDATE:
I find it very suspicious when one person goes through such desperation to try to disprove honest reviews and is so pathetic to attack people's experience. What's her incentive hmmmm? read more
