              Unanswered
              On Sunday, 1/21/24, around 4:00 PM I was involved in a hit and run traffic accident. North Shore Towing was called to the scene and I was told by the drivers that my vehicle could not be towed to Gerber Collision in Highland Park. They informed me that they had to take my vehicle to their lot and that they would drop my vehicle off the next day. Something about them having to pickup the hit and run vehicle which was subsequently recovered. Charge for the tow was $285. The following day when I was attempting to make arrangements to have the vehicle transferred, I was informed that there would be an ADDITIONAL charge to have the vehicle towed to Gerber Collision. I was never made aware that there would be a second towing charge. I am now faced with a $470 bill which I had to ******** to get my vehicle released in order to be salvaged (total loss) by a hit and run driver who had no insurance.

              one employee that works overnight at the ******** location was extremely rude and hung up the phone on me ! just because a persons vehicle was towed does not justify poor customer service. adjust your attitude to serve customers properly!
