To the Parents, Military Members, and Veterans of the University of South Carolina Columbia…read moreCommunity, I strongly urge you to avoid utilizing the services of Absolute Towing located in West Columbia, South Carolina and provide feedback on any services you received from their establishment. My recent experience with this company--particularly with an employee named J.C.--was deeply disappointing and concerning. My student parked briefly in the Waffle House parking lot to attend a nearby celebration with friends. At no point were there visible signs indicating "Customer Parking Only" or warnings about towing. Despite this, Waffle House called for towing services. Strangely, only my student's vehicle was towed, while several others that arrived and parked at the same time--right beside him--were left untouched. This incident occurred at approximately 12:35 AM and there was plenty of time for the others to be towed before the celebration concluded. When my student contacted J.C. that night, he was denied the ability to retrieve his car and was told he could only do so the next day for $250 in cash--even though Absolute Towing's website clearly states they accept credit cards and others paid $175 or $200. J.C. was dismissive and rude, and his behavior worsened when I called to discuss the situation. He sarcastically stated, "If he has money for the club, he has money to get his car back." This assumption is not only unfounded but incredibly disrespectful. My student was not at a club, nor should that even be relevant to the issue. It appears my student was targeted--possibly because of his visible USC parking pass and the type of car he was driving. If towing were truly being enforced across the board, the other nearby vehicles would have also been removed. This feels predatory, discriminatory, and entirely unethical. I am formally requesting a refund of the $250 towing fee due to these unfair practices and ask that the South Carolina Wrecker Advisory Committee review Absolute Towing's operations. This company has numerous poor reviews and demonstrates questionable practices that should not go unchecked--especially when they affect our students and military-affiliated families. Many families of our amazing students do not live in the Columbia area like us and need to ensure the community has all of students' best interest and safety at the forefront

The closest Tesla dealership is almost 90 miles away so I had to find the fastest tire replacement possible so I contacted this company. Initially, they were responsive and fast but the technician ended up damaging the rear wheel. I took pictures immediately after I pulled over and clearly no damage but very visible after the install, which I mentioned. The technician denied it, stating he'd damage both wheels as if he couldn't have made a mistake on the first replaced which was the rear and corrected when installing the second. He also suggested to take the tires off and I pay a $400 service, completely asinine. I couldn't sit and argue with him. Got in contact with his manager/ owner Dave who stated he'd look into it and had no problem paying for the service if his guy damaged it. There are white marks on the tire directly across from the damage on the wheel. This corresponds with an issue with install. I was only asking for 10% refund of the total cost of the service for these cheap tires that were installed. It's the lack of accountability and tried to blame the tow truck company. They used soft straps and looped through the wheel, never touching the edges of the wheel. People make mistakes. Also, Dave stopped communicating with me after I provided the photos and tow info as he requested. It's bad customer service and business practice. See photos.

I have always appreciated acknowledgement of my physical presence over a phone conversation. When he finished with the call, he immediately asked what I needed.

I was also given information on overall condition of my tires and what to watch for. They did not try to sell me anything I did not need, and did not give me any dire warnings if I didn't buy something else. This is what local shops (or any store for that matter) should strive to be.

I got the tires replaced because it had been a while since I had done that. During my service, (which mind you I had created an appointment for at 10 am and they did not start servicing til late evening and did not finish until after hours), the front desk representative called me several times and notified me that I needed to replace my breaks. I had not noticed the breaks feeling faulty at all previously. Additionally, they told me I needed to service the car in other ways, which I had just previously had operated on. I opted out of the additional service and went to get a second opinion from a more reputable mechanic, the mechanic noted that my breaks were completely fine and did not need to be serviced at all. He showed me the exact measurement they use to determine how worn breaks are, and mine were adequate and in no need of replacement. This mechanic told me that people come to them from this Mavis location often with the same problem, one just recently being scammed upwards of two thousand dollars for work that was not necessary. Not to mention, they charged me for a windshield wiper replacement and after checking out, the mechanic noticed that the Mavis staff had not even replaced the wipers. They almost charged me for an additional service they did not even complete. Save yourself and your pocket and DO NOT go to this Mavis location.
