This company attempted a predatory tow and then extorted $200 from or family just to drop our…read moreU-Haul, a blatant case of roadside blackmail. We had parked for less than 20 minutes to grab food, and the tow truck driver admitted he felt the hood of the vehicle and knew it was still warm. He was fully aware we had just stepped away and were nearby.... No "no parking" signs anywhere easily visible (especially at night). My husband had traveled all from Washington State to pick up our daughter from college, and this is the kind of disgusting, exploitative behavior they encountered. Instead of allowing them to retrieve the U-Haul, the tow operator demanded $200 on the spot or threatened to take it to the yard, which would've cost over $1,000 and left them stranded overnight. They were coerced into paying to avoid even more damage and delay. What's worse, this same company threatened the young employees of the burger establishment, telling them they couldn't move their own cars because their license plates had already been recorded. Those employees ended up having their vehicles towed after being intimidated by the same tactics by this deplorable company. It's an absolutely appalling abuse of power. The photo of the business owner shows him standing proudly with a child, I truly hope he treats his own family better than he treats complete strangers. What this company is doing isn't just unethical, it's predatory, manipulative, and disgraceful. Stay far away from this business. They operate without integrity and prey on people who are just trying to go about their evening.

We dropped our car off and Karl drove us back to our hotel, then came back to pick us up when the car was done. The fix was easy, plugging in a plug that our home mechanic missed during our pre-trip check. There was no charge for that fix. It happened that we needed new rear brakes. We had A&A replace those for a very reasonable price, so their kindness brought them additional business!! We highly recommend them!
