Oklahoma Towing Service OK 73112

Erik Van Hofwegen, II

I have been trying to contact these people about this incident hoping we could handle it amicably. Apparently, they are not interested in accepting responsibility for tearing up my house and car. There is a very fine line that separate the people who run wrecker/towing/repo businesses from run-of-the-mill criminals and too often that's giving credit where it's not due.<br><br>So to begin with I spoke to their dispatcher 4:30pm this past Saturday (2-24-2024). I gave my location (Wilshire & I35) and destination (SW15 & Morgan Rd) (20mi).<br><br>After multiple callbacks to see if they were coming they eventually arrived at 6:30. Departed about 7:00. Driver had me steer my vehicle as he winched it up the ramp which seemed odd to me.<br><br>We arrive at my house around 7:30. I'm just standing back observing waiting to pay and be done because I'm exhausted.<br><br>He waves me up asking me to check and see if the car is in park. This while it is still on the bed of the wrecker pitched at about a 35 to 40 degree angle. Again this seemed odd to me but I climbed up there and opened the door. Saw that was affirmative and said so. Before I could even close the door he hit something on his controller and the chains dropped and the car took off down the ramp. Slammed onto my driveway and then on into my garage door smashing through it. And it is a solid wood garage door. If it had been a typical sheet metal job my car would've come to test in the kitchen.<br><br>A couple of things to note and pictures attached below.<br><br>1. The driver blamed me for this saying something that didn't make much sense.<br><br>2. I paid $200 cash for this service. If I was to be blamed for the damages I think I should be paid for my time and efforts.<br><br>3. I have made multiple attempts to contact these people to reconcile what they're responsible for which is everything in the photos. I have reviewed some of the relevant law and I should not have been asked to do anything that I was asked to do.<br><br>4. Had I not had the good sense to stand outside of the door as I opened it AND SLAMMED IT AS IT WAS ROLLING TOWARD THE DRIVER. It would have clotheslined him into the other car in my driveway and ruined his night. Not to mention destroying my cars in the process.<br><br>5. Considering what they escaped happening by my efforts I would expect someone to jump at the opportunity to handle these damages outside of their insurance but I guess it's like I said in the beginning. A criminal is what he is. After their insurance cancels them they'll likely just continue to operate illegally until they kill or cripple someone.<br><br>I don't know who all these other friends and family are reviewing for them but none of it is consistent with the factual accounts and evidence. It's going to cost you guys a lot more in the court room.<br><br>Three of my neighbors and multiple cars that were blocked by the tow truck who live down the street have agreed that this was ridiculously lucky outcome to gross negligence and zero professionalism after the fact by basically taking some shots at blaming me for the entire incident and leaving the scene as quickly as possible.<br><br>Saturday night at 7:30 on the busiest street in my neighborhood. I will almost guarantee you there is a post or two about the incident on the Nextdoor App that aren't even associated with me. You'll be hearing from me soon.

Called them late on a Sunday night. They gave me an accurate estimate of time (about an hour), arrived on time, got the job done well, and were courteous throughout. The dispatcher was very nice to me, the driver Logan was very helpful and got us out of a pinch with a blown tire. The price was very fair and less than I was expecting to have to pay. Would absolutely call them again if I needed a tow truck.
