      To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Tuminno's Towing, I utilized their towing services, and during the process, the rear bumper of my vehicle was damaged. Despite multiple attempts to contact the company to resolve this issue, I have been unable to reach the relevant person. The lack of response and accountability is highly concerning and unacceptable. Here are the details of my complaint: Date of Incident: July 14th, 2024 Description of Incident: The rear bumper of my vehicle was damaged while it was being towed by Tuminno's Towing. Attempts to Resolve: I have called the company numerous times and left messages but have not received any response. Desired Resolution: I would like Tuminno's Towing to cover the cost of repairing the damage to my vehicle of 600 dollars, because it is a mercedes and it is very expensive to fix. I am seeking the BBB's assistance in resolving this matter promptly and fairly. I hope that with your intervention, I can reach a satisfactory resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, ******

      We only agreed on the reimbursement amount of $408.51 on 8/22/24 and I explained to customer that I was out of the office until this week.  The check will be written today.  I have emailed the customer for address to mail the check or gave him option to pick it up.

      My truck would not start I call Tumino's Towing to help they tow me to their shop and the mechanic bypass my water separator filter and run the line direct which allowed contamination fuel water etc.. to flood my Injectors and blew my engine

      Another road service company had worked on this man’s truck at the Vince Lombardi rest area on the New Jersey Turnpike. We got called to tow the truck to our shop because it would not start and had oil all over the engine. We found that the fuel tank on the driver side had a crack in it so we bypassed that fuel tank so the customer could run the truck off of the passenger side fuel tank. We advised him that there was something wrong with the motor because there was oil all over it and it was only running on five cylinders. He stated that he had the fuel injectors worked on previously also. Bypassing a fuel tank so that it could run off of one tank cannot contribute to a motor getting blown
