the fact that he is deflecting the blame to the insurance companies tells me it's a known scam. There are tow companies here in Colorado that, once they are on the list for LEO calls, will typically charge 3-4 times what the rate is if you just called them and paid directly, because they know if there is an accident and LE calls, the insurance in most cases are required to pay the tow and recovery bill.

This is the kind of company that if they work auto mechanics would tell you that your whole car needs to be rebuilt from the ground up because I found one loose screw. It has to be asked how many people on the city Council are getting kickbacks from this vehicle recovery and crash site cleanup. Oh, and the icing on the cake was when the owner of this nefarious company complained about not being able to get paid for their services. Of course they're not being paid because the residents that they are trying to illegally bill for services not ask for, but required by the city. This is nothing more than stolen from citizens by organized criminals. This most definitely warrants a RICO investigation.

As usual, follow the money and you will probably see some of it going into the pockets of those town "leaders".

17 grand to clean up some coolant? I will do it for 200 bucks, totally insane

If you foist your service and costs onto an unsuspecting crash victim, they're not "consumers" -- they aren't voluntarily shopping in a free market, at least. If the vast majority of your costs aren't recouped, get out of the business; you can't just throw your debt everywhere until it sticks. "Everything today is outrageous"? WTF? The guy looks to be in an unsustainable racket, and hoping that for-profit insurance companies will throw cash at you to make you go away... that's just fueling the same problem we have with the US healthcare insurance industry. The city should cover such cleanup costs; if residents, by way of their elected officials, don't believe the benefit is worth the cost, then they can refuse the service and fairly accept the consequences.

I was in an accident last year in which the tow company did the clean up and charged me. About a month later I got a bill from the city for ambulance service that I didn't use. When I called about the bill I was told it wasn't for and ambulance it was for clean up. I was also told there is no way to not pay it. If I refused to pay it would be put onto my property tax bill. MAJOR SCAM!!! I'm stuck here for 6 more years then I'm moving out of this crappy city.

So it’s ok to send an outrageous bill to the insurance companies? As these bills start being sent to vehicle insurance companies they are going to start having an optional hazard cleanup coverage on their customers insurance plans. Those are going to be some costly add ons. Kind of like having to add flood insurance to your home insurance plans.

FACT IS THE SAME AREA WILL HAVE OIL COOLANT ECT SPILT ON IT ANY WAY.

Many fire departments are starting to bill insurance companies for incidents involving major cleanups such as fuel, oil, hydraulic, etc. spills. Not bill the individual specific!

i've never heard of this and I've been driving for decades, with my last accident being a doozy. hit from behind by a semi and sent into a tree face on. accordion car. nobody ever sent a bill for getting it out of the tree!, that's really weird to me

Between this and the tow fees and storage for a vehicle, the stories recently on Channel 4, I believe Taylor has an issue on hand that needs to be rectified. Shame on Area towing. If possible, do not use Towing that the police recommend. If possible, move the car into a parking lot or call yiur insurance right away and get your vehicle towed. Call a friend if you need to. The bill is high because the tow companies charge a lot for storage. Per day!

That kind of cleanup bill only comes when you dump a significant amount of vehicle fluid directly into the ground or into an open drain. That's ridiculous for a pavement crash. Maybe 50 bucks for kitty litter and clean up but that's it

Holly smokes, I'm glad you are doing this. Few years ago, my Ford F 350 hit some road debris on I-80 near Reno, NV. The coolant hose was cut/popped along with some radiator damage. Naturally, we called the insurance and they had it towed to the nearest "service station". It turns out, the towing company charged my insurance $3000 for the tow (6 miles) and "clean up". They even mentioned in the sheet that my truck was a commercial truck. BTW, all pickups in CA have to be registered as commercial in CA even if you are towing an travel trailer and never use it as commercial with DOT number, log book etc. Past that, the service station "Bill-bob-and-scams" station, charged me ~$2500 in repairs, most of it in labor and two parts, one $100 hose and another $50 "sealant". I took it to BBB and my insurance about this non sense. I was only partially ($196) refunded from Billy-bob's. I was told by my insurance to let go as I was covered and they were not taking any further action in my case. Surprise-surprise, my next insurance quote went almost $1400/year more! Unfortunately, these issues have statute of limitations which I was not fully aware of at that time. These clowns got away. I still see the workshop/station with a fancy new $150K Ford F 450, lifted and decked out parked outside every time I pass by the area.

I’m assuming that is the owners lawyer sitting next to him for a news interview. That brings the question if he thinks his bills are legit why have a lawyer with him for the interview?

Wow you could have almost bought four Big Macs in California for that price

City can’t pay a firemen who protects its residents but look at this Omg 😱

I worked a wrecker for a few weeks in CA in the early 1980s. Cleanup back then was a bag of kitty litter, a roll of paper towels, a 5 gal bucket, an industrial dustpan, and a broom. We'd get body parts, glass fragments, and fluids out of the roadway in a matter of 15 minutes. What's this 3 months of work CRAP?

So let me get this straight. In other cities, municipalities, townships and boroughs a portion of everyone’s taxes in that locale go towards a city or county fund that takes care of stuff like that. So what are those residents tax dollars being used for? The reason it is done this way is to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, like we see here where a towing company also has a hazardous material clean up company associated with it.

Kind of like the Fox watching over the Chicken Coop ! The tow operator is a SHYSTER , has the fortitude of becoming a POLITICIAN !

Just listening to that dude trying to justify the insane price makes me think of a word that sounds a lot like _b_ook.

Does this happen for all crashes? Or just accidents?
