      I was involved in a car crash that occurred in ***********************. My car was totaled and inoperable and I was taken immediately to the base hospital via ambulance after the crash. ******** called the nearest towing service, S&R Towing, *********, to tow my car to their lot without any notice to me. A few days after the crash, I went to the company to get my personal belongings out of my car and to see if I could just hand over my car to the company and not deal with it anymore (my insurance doesn't cover towing/collision). The company told me that it would be over six hundred dollars just to leave my car there (plus daily fees). Since my license and registration are out of state (I'm stationed in ********** on orders), I don't even have a feasible method to get my title mailed here on time. Since my car was towed without any clearly posted warning nor did I request that specific company to tow it (I would've called AAA and taken it anywhere else if I was given the chance), it seems unfair that I have to pay such a price to leave my car with the company that's going to auction is off anyways even if I never reached out to them.

      If i could give zero stars I would. This company is sketchy all the way around. We sat and waited for 4 hours to get our vehicle released. They also told us that they could not release the vehicle, When we heard this we felt like they were trying to get us to pay another day for storage. We decided to call the police to have them sort out the issue and when we notified the company that the police were called, we were able to leave with the vehicle 15mins later. This makes us believe that this company has shady practices to steal customers money. We had the vehicle in their storage for 5 hours and it ended up costing us $700, that is absolutely insane!!!! This company needs to be investigated and I believe shut down.
