It was Buds Truck & Diesel Service. At first I was grateful he was willing to tow it to my house 3.1 miles away instead of taking it to their tow yard which I found out later was actually twice the distance than it was to my house. He loaded the car, and I jumped up into the passenger seat. The first thing I said was, can you tell me how much it’s gonna cost because I’d hate to get there and not have enough money. He told me $400. With a flat rate of $100 (chat gpt says average flat rates are around $80) that means they have a rate of $100 a mile and he told me verbatim “it’s expensive because of the mileage”.<br><br>I know he was taking advantage of me and my situation but I had no choice, pay or deal with the tow yard after I get paid in ten days. That means ten days of storage fees and a second tow to get her home and I didn’t want that. I asked him if he could do it for 200 and he shook his head and said get out. Talk about kicking someone when they’re down. I told him I had just pulled out every bit of cash I had while he was loading the car and he said “can you do $300?” This is when I knew for a fact I was being hustled and i literally pulled out my wallet in front of him counted it all out loud and said here I’ve got $290 can you make that work? He shook his head and said no. So, I grabbed my bags and got out. He literally drove away so I called an Uber and the Uber was nine minutes away. Eight minutes later, my Uber is only a minute away and when I look up to see if I can see the car I see the tow truck with my car stopping on the side of the road right in front of me. He rolled the window down and said you still have $290 let’s go. I mean wow!!! Even managed to add a five dollar cancellation fee for the Uber to the days losses. $300 for 3 miles is crazy.

We ran off the highway and had damage to rim and tires. We called Buds Wreckage and Dee came to save the day. She was professional and personable. She got us quickly to a local PepBoys to solve our problems. Thank you Dee for making an unfortunate event much more bearable with some laughter.
