A & J Towing FL

Towed my car from a CVS parking lot within 2 hours of it being there. I accept the towing itself because I missed the sign but it was there. However, the place is super sketchy. It wasn't clear where the entrance was and I had to call twice to even have someone come out so I could get my car. It looks so bad that my Lyft driver stayed with me for fear of my safety. Told me $225 to get my car back and then $250 when I was on my way to get it. The guy working clearly hadn't even been awake before the second phone call. Did not provide a receipt, though this doesn't surprise me as judging by the towing laws in Tampa, they way overcharged me. CVS really needs to find a better towing company, if only for their customers sake.

One of the biggest scams in Tampa. Towed my car from a parking lot that was not clearly marked and after business hours for every business on the lot(Saturday about 8pm). We parked to meet some friends for dinner at Gator's Dockside in Temple Terrace. I parked in the lot behind the bank- no signs anywhere. The Police had no report that they had towed the vehicle, which they are required by law to do. The representative who answered the phone was extremely aggressive towards my wife, quoted her a ridiculous amount, $280 and when she tried to negotiate, he spouted back at her about having out-of-state tags. When I laughed and commented that was not his concern, he threatened physical violence against me. Apparently, years of South Florida heat and copious use of trailer park Crystal meth can cause extreme fits of rage when combined in the neurological system of those who come from long lines of multi-generational inbreeding. This assumption was verified when we arrived at this fine establishment. It looks like the perfect front for an Aryan Nation gun-running/baby smuggling operation. The courteous gentleman with the DADDY'$ GIRL prison tattoo on his throat scolded her for not calling as soon as she arrived like he done told her. He told her cash only and refused to give a receipt, a printed rate card or proof of a service contract with the property owner. He stated the receipts "were on order" and he didn't have access to the other stuff. Ended up just paying and getting the hell off that lot fast as possible. A bartender at a place very near the place I was towed from told me that these guys will sit and wait for people to park in that lot and that no doubt my car was hooked up and gone before we even got to our table. They are predators who use loopholes and gaps in the local laws to boost their business and victimize unaware citizens. Local businesses beware- using people like this will cause consumers to NOT spend their money with you.

So i was suppose to "donate" my car to this Heritage for the Blind foundation. A and J towing happened to be the towing company they assigned me too. Well Wednesday they were suppose to come pick up my car and never did, called them and apparently "he forgot". I ended up rescheduling for Friday and postponed my errands so they can come get it...well here comes Friday and once again NO SHOW.. When i called somebody said they will "check" to see if someone is on there way to get the car and NEVER called back. When i called 15 min later...no answer. I was all for donating until I had to deal with them. I ended up calling everything off. They are very unprofessional and horrible business!
