$1250 an hour for a “supervisor”? Sounds a little bit like price gouging. Supervising an off-road extraction for a Jeep? I would take $12.50/hour!

What a load of crap, do they actually think they will collect on it?

What do you expect when your insured by “Assured Collision”? And I can see why it was so expensive, they probably had to get permits and clearance just to enter the property to retrieve the vehicle.

lol, that Jeep is wrecked, he’s out $47,500..
Lousy way to keep people from dumping vehicles though.

Assured Collision billed him $16,000 for an on-scene supervisor at $1,250 an hour.
Most expensive supervisor ever. And just to really try and screw him, I’m sure they’re charging him $200/day storage fee

As a former victim of Massachusetts tow companies, he won’t pay anywhere close to this, but he’s still going to have to overpay to get his broken truck back. That’s the game.
A shop in the town I still frequent, so I don’t need to put them on blast used to tow my rust bucket car every couple of months from in front of our boathouse I was allowed to park at as long as I was using the boathouse. It’s in a park, so it’s city property and they don’t allow parking outside of when the park isn’t open, but we had exemptions because rowing starts before sun-up when the park opened. So as long as someone was there they could tell the greaseballs to cut the crap. These jackholes would come in, hook up the cars, knock on the doors, wait for no response (knowing we were on the river) and then drive off with our vehicles.
We lodged a complaint with the city the third time it happened, and their response was, “Leave someone at the boathouse to answer whether the cars are supposed to be there.” Which sounds like great logic, especially for the college kid who will then have to be at the boathouse at 4:30 AM just in case all of the shells are in the water and the tow guys show up.
They wouldn’t issue placards because we would then be “likely to use them to park there when we weren’t allowed” (parking in the area in garages was very expensive.)
Turns out the guy who is a partner in the towing-service shop is brothers with a guy on the Muni board.
Every time i called to get my rust bucket back the guy would say, “You’re bill is for more than the car is worth. We can settle if you need.”
I like tow trucks, they’ve helped me a lot in my life. I do not like the towing industry.
