Don’t Get Overcharged by Towing Companies
Having your vehicle towed can be stressful, and sometimes towing companies take advantage. They may charge very high fees, add hidden costs, or use aggressive tactics to get extra money. This can leave you frustrated, angry, and out of pocket. At Unscrewed, we help you review towing charges, check fees against legal limits, and guide you to recover money or challenge unfair billing. Even if full reimbursement isn’t possible, your report helps identify practices that may affect other drivers.
What We Handle
We help with all kinds of problems people face with towing companies, making sure you are treated fairly:
Excessive Towing Fees
Some companies charge more than standard rates for moving or storing your vehicle. We review your invoices, compare them to typical fees, and help ensure you are charged fairly.
Hidden Costs
Extra fees, like storage or service charges, may appear unexpectedly. We review all charges and challenge those that are unfair.
