Call your insurance company first and find out where they want the car towed to.That is if it needs to be towed . kIf the vcar still rolls and the radiator holds water you probably can drive it.Slowly with flashers on. You might just drive it to your house until you talk to you insurance company . They may want to evaluate it first.

tell me about it. I am an insurance adjuster and body shops and tow companies hold cars hostage. They even trick drivers right after they wreck to sign paperwork to get them to take it to their body shop. Its a big scam. Imagine being in your first accident, standing in the middle of the intersection waiting on police and all you want to do is just go home. The tow driver comes with a smile and says he will take care of everything for you. He has you sign paperwork right then and there while you are still upset and havent had time to research body shops. He then takes it to the body shop that they have deals worked out with and gets a piece of the action. Believe it or not but most big name insurance companies are on your side. Its the body shops and tow companys that are the swindlers and tricksters. The body shops that are partnered with the insurance companies are among the best. We want our customers to be happy in the end so we only partner witht the best shops. Also notice I said BIG name insurance companies. The little insurance companies are nightmares for their customers and take months to inspect your car.

So glad they exposed these scammers. Im glad I got to share my story on this segment. Another tip for everyone in GTA area. if you get into an accident, and the car isn't drivable (such as mine) and a tow is available, and you choose NOT to take it, the cops can give you a ticket after a couple hours for impeding traffic or some BS. so your very first call should be to CAA or insurance and get a tow on its way. not only will you be protected by cops that pressure you (like mine did) can be kept at bay. safe driving everyone.

This happened to my elderly dad 2 yrs ago. He rear-ended a car, minor accident. But the lady wouldn't get out of the car, and instead called a tow truck, who insisted he take my dad's car, even though both cars were totally fine. Dad, being 85, was nervous and complied. He didn't call me till later. When I talked to the tow truck driver, he said the car was in a lot, and that his people have to fix it. When I went there, the car was parked in the back behind so many cars, and he said you can take your car but we're not moving the other cars. I threatened to call the cops. Anyways, long story short, we finally got the car. So yes, be very careful with tow truck drivers.

After finding this out I called a different tow company and said I broke down and needed car to be towed home from same location to very near the location where sons car was towed. Was quoted 145.00.

I know I am late to this, but I'm curious as to what the itemized charges, not the amounts, just the list of charges, were on the tow bill for the accident. Also, were the police the ones that called the tow company, or did you call them yourself? If the police called, it considered a non-consent tow, and the fees are usually higher then a "private" tow for a broken down vehicle. The term "recovery" can be very broad. The tow company I work for, in order for it to be considered a recovery, the vehicle must not be drivable, and has to be winched up onto the flatbed.

The practice of holding a car until payment is common, our company does that as well, however, the way they go about it is sketchy... Normal tow fees are much lower, A normal crash call is 160.50 taxes included for our company, our storage is 25 a day, winch out is 50-100 an hour additional, if it goes to our shop you pay when you pick it up, including storage or you don't get it back and we file for title, we have to be paid for our jobs, however, I will tell you ahead of time if I will only be giving you the option to go to our shop (depends on the circumstances) usually at night I will only give you the option of going to my shop, In which case I will tell you and you can choose if you want to continue or not, and we will see if the police will allow it or if you are a road hazard and need to be towed either way, although a lot of times you also have the option to choose where you are towed to and you will pay when I drop it, the idea of just showing up towing the car to a shop and holding the car hostage with a 500-1000 dollar bill is dishonest and seems like it would be illegal.

Keep up the good work!

I was in a accident back in 1995, and the officer asked who I would like for the tow, and I told him the body shop that I used, and that shop came right out, remember if you use a shop, they ( the police ) will try to work with you, otherwise use the police (Duty Tow), lots of areas, police duty tow is rotated so often between different shops, or they have regs regarding fees, etc..

If my vehicle is damaged in an accident, the first call is to the police, the second is to my local tow company (when near home) or to my insurance company (if far from home) if it cannot be driver away. When near home, my insurance company becomes the third call I make if my vehicle has to be towed. If my vehicle breaks down in a spot it needs to be towed from, I call my local tow company (if near home) or AAA (if away from home). Bottom line, I never allow just any company to tow my vehicle when it can be avoided.

In Australia, a tow truck must tow ti ot an impound lot until you or your insurance have nominated a body shop. Always call your insurance, as they will assign a tow truck themselves and take it to a body shop. Normally, its safer this way cause insurance company has a special cotnract with particular body shops

I am from Louisiana and most places for traffic collisions you have to be put on rotation unless the customer specially request someone with in reason. On top of that being on rotation requires all the normal liscenses and other requirements. Some also got as far as regulating charges

When I drove a wrecker in Memphis, TN wrecker companies had to meet a certain criteria to be on approved list and they were called in rotation by the police unless the owner wanted a specific tow company and the owner always chooses where it’s towed to.

Can people not sue in Canada or something? Sounds like that is one of those report it stolen and then sue them.

They tow truck drivers trick you into signing the work order. You can't sue because you gave them permission and accepted the terms and conditions of the contract without realizing it. Also, that 190 dollar ticket is garbage. It needs to be 1000 dollars for it to work. Each tow truck driver can make anywhere from 800-1500 per accident tow they bring to the body shop. Who cares about the 190 dollar ticket... it's still well worth it for the tow truck drivers to not follow the law.

In the states you can be shot for stepping on a an overhanging blade of grass on the sidewalk. In Canada you can't sue intill you have already been killed.

in my country, the netherlands, when you crash you call your insurance company. they send a tow truck to you free of charge and you can choose where you want your car to go. if you don't want to get it fixed you can take the damaged car home. If you want to get it fixed immediatly you can choose which repair shop they have to bring your car to. as long as it is whitelisted ( which almost every shop is) insurance will handle everything from there on, even a rental car is usually free of charge.

Most people in Canada also have some sort of roadside assistance.

@KnightWolf2012

Yup, most insurance policies in Canada will cover the tow. You're also free to use whatever repair shop you choose, the insurance companies do have preferred shops they deal with. But you're under no obligation to use them and are free to use any shop you choose as long as they are licensed. You can even have a quote provided from a licensed shop and choose to do the repairs yourself, so long as you prove they are completed and do not exceed the initial quote.
