Call again and got ahold of a technician and was told he was near us but forgot his tools so he had to drive across town to get them. He offered to do the service for free but I should of said no. I waited another hour which was more then fair to get across town and back. At this point we were 2.5 hours from the initial call and surprise they didn't show. Called again and was told they just weren't coming anymore due to an emergency. I would of been fine if at the beginning they told me they weren't able to do the job but no they strung me on for almost 3 hours. All my grocery will now have to be thrown away and had my wife who is 8 months pregnant gone into labor we would of had no way to get to the hospital because of this terrible company.

I had to call the one person I hate to call on for help. I eventually got my spare put on and went and took my business to Rubberbandit Tires where I always go.

I told the kid I didn't want to use Mitchells. I told the kids to leave my car alone Nobody told him to touch my car that was theft and anything you have to say about it or just lies deception and spend to try to save face because you have a failing company who does what they want and then extort you if he wants your car back with the store and the person that your office said $150 a night to store so maybe they pocket the 75 I don't know. Maybe they're even more Avaricious than you. I don't know. I can only tell you the facts and then you can play with them spend them you weren't there you didn't hear anything you're getting it from your guy who's trying to save face with you I guess but when you hire people like that, that's what you get. It seems to be the kind of people you hire I really not very pleasant people And they've got no business by law touching somebody else's property without that person's permission you show me where I gave him permission to touch my car. I hope this video because it will show me howling him not to touch my car numerous times and if we need to go to small claims, I will ask in charge to have you bring any pictures recording some tapes of the incident your driver wouldn't even come over to stand in front of me to look me in the eyes and talk to me. He just kept ignoring everything and strapping everything up like he was moving his own property. This this honesty deceptiveness, and the arrogance have taken someone's car But will this me all surpassed by the ignorance that they won't be consequences to stealing somebody's property and then trying to extort them to get the bank extra them further if you don't wanna leave it on the street to be picked apart you want behind our gate nobody else in town charges like that And everybody else in town would stop to talk to you first that's why I had to told him immediately from the front of your business, as soon as I got home, I was able to get the numbers, the dragon, replying to the note from owner Joe: (which is not publicly posted like the others) not only did you tow my car against my explicit instruction to your employeee to leave it alone, told him if he is touching it he had better call my AAA,. He ignored me and told me that was my job, MITCHELLS NEVER CALLS, BUT AAA always pays. I told him I was on the phone confirmiing where I wanted it towed to just leave it alone. He ignored me and drove away with my lexus. AAA said they never pay unless car in at the incident location. DO NO USE MITCHELL'S TOWING !!! Anything that Mitchells does or states including Toms "rebuttals" is spin ( a lie)and invoking God's name with their scam is repulsive to me. I hope that you take anything they say with a large grain of salt;they are liars.it is all about the$

After picking it up, the alignment was knocked out during the repair, the lady even said that it happens during this repair and so did the technician when he called me. It was knocked out so far that my steering was at a 45 degree angle to drive straight and was told to bring it back to get it fixed. After dropping $800+ for the parts and service, they charged me for the mis-alignment that was not needed to begin with and chalked it up to me hitting a pothole. Funny thing is, I live right off Forest Road about five minutes from the place, and there are no potholes. Update: My Chevy HHR driver electrical seat would no go back, only forward. Out of convenience I asked if they could replace the switch for the electric seat adjuster (a $25 post on Amazon, but the seat would have to be removed). They told me I had a faulty rail and that the entire system would have to be replaced at the cost of an $800 fix........ So I bought the part myself and replaced it and now the seat works just fine, cost me $25 and an hour. Makes a straight-thinking fella wonder if I was ripped off before?
