These pictures show what happens inside of an engine when a piston lets go when it is spinning faster than it can handle. Georgia Towing came to pick up my manual transmission rear wheel drive car on November 6th, 2021. I have video proof of the engine running on November 4th. Their driver made a careless error and forgot to check that the transmission was not in gear before he towed the car. Georgia towing declined to take responsibility for the damages caused to my vehicle as a result of towing a manual transmission rear wheel drive vehicle in 1st gear with the rear wheels dragging on the ground, and as result of that mistake, the engine was engaged with the transmission while the car was being towed and moving at speeds much faster than the rotating assembly could handle. The piston on cylinder #1 let go and threw the rod through the water jacket. I provided video proof to the towing company of the vehicle running perfectly 48 hours before the vehicle was towed, the vehicle needed a clutch replacement and therefore could not be driven between the time it was running and the tow. There is no way that this damage was caused by anything else. Georgia towing declined to take responsibility claiming that this type of failure is not possible from towing the vehicle in gear. They know that I can't prove it so rather than do the right thing, they have decided to take the low road and run away. The case is still open with AAA. Just wanted to leave a review so that other potential customers will be sure to double check the tow truck drivers work especially if you have a rear wheel drive manual transmission vehicle.<br><br>Update: in response to the owners reply below. I'd be happy to have you come and sit down with me to review this video in person and you can explain to me exactly what you mean by mechanical problems. The simple fact that the engine was running in the video is enough to prove my point, because it sure as hell wouldn't even turn on after the rod punched a hole through the water jacket. That's not something that is going to happen from sitting running at idle. Instead you sent your half asleep, over worked inspector out that made excuses for a month and a half to come look at the car. Tons of cars sit unused for years. That doesn't prove anything. Once again, it is completely impossible for this engine to sustain the kind damage shown in these pictures sitting at idle. The ONLY explanation is that the engine was spinning well beyond it's mechanical limits and the piston let go and the rod punched through the water jacket. That is impossible for me to have caused. Again, you are using the circumstances to avoid responsibility to compensate me for the damages that your incompetent driver caused.

Said it’d be 4 hours, ended up being only 2. Nice tow and quick service.

Great service. The driver informed about the time of arrival and arrived on time. He was very courteous and knowledgeable, diagnosed the issue and was able to start the car avoiding the towing costs. The owner provided the timely and honest information about the service call to the repair shop that enabled to receive the repair required. I am very satisfied and highly recommend to use in time of a need of an on road assistance.
