Got my truck towed this morning by a cool guy named Billy. The job was very difficult since my car was not shifting gears (no neutral), there was a car parked 6 inches in front of me, and the street itself was very narrow. Billy arrived right on time and swiftly handled the situation without a scratch to my vehicle or any other car on the street. He was also nice and funny and showed no sign of distress. On top of that, their rate was literally half compared to some other tow companies I had contacted, so price wise I am super happy. I have immediately programmed their number into my cell because I am a satisfied customer and I highly recommend their services. Independent Auto Body is trustworthy, efficient, reliable and an excellent price for the service. Thanks for a job well done Billy! And thanks to my amazing mechanic at Mandalay Bay Auto Repair for recommending me their services.

HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE - STAY FAR AWAY My car got towed while visiting my fiancé, a mistake I'm willing to admit. But the entire experience left me feeling hurt, betrayed, and taken advantage of by what can only be described as a heartless SCAM. There was no notification whatsoever, and I had to rely on my fiancé's apartment staff to get their details. When I finally managed to contact a lady named Rolanda, the way she treated me was nothing short of devastating. She coldly informed me that I could only retrieve my car on Monday morning at 8 a.m., and the staff there would quote the price. To my shock, it turns out she is the boss, and she wielded her power with complete disregard for my distress. The next day, her staff demanded an obscene $425 in cash, showing absolutely no empathy. They insisted that it was entirely up to Rolanda to negotiate the price. When I tried to call Rolanda in a desperate attempt to negotiate, I was already in tears. But she refused to pick up my call multiple times, and when she finally did, her voice was disinterested and uncaring. I found myself begging her to lower the price, as it was outrageously unreasonable. They wouldn't even release my car, and her staff said it needed to be quick because he had work to do, all while sipping on his coffee. He even threatened me, saying that if I didn't pay now, they would charge me even more. Later, I reluctantly agreed to Zelle her the money, still settling at $400. It's absolutely ridiculous that they didn't even have the decency to provide a receipt after I sent the money, showing just how unprofessional they are. I even doubt if they are a legit company. Everything about them was shady. I had to take time off work for all this. They took me to a shady car lot where I had to pick up my car. Please if you are reading this, avoid this company. They are not just unprofessional; they are inconsiderate, and heartless.

Stay away from this shop. If your car dose end up there like mine did get it out as soon as possible. These people are only concerned about keeping your car as long as possible so they can bill high rates to either you or your insurance provider. It took me a week to get my car out of there. Everytime the tow truck company called no one answered, when they did answer no one was available until 10 or 12 or maybe late afternoon. I'm surprised this place is still in business with how horrible they treat their customers. DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THE 5 STAR REVIEWS YOU READ!!. They are posted by friends of the owner or people that work at the shop. Run far away!!!!!!
