3 On Your Side: Towing Trouble

PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― You see them zipping all over the city, tow trucks that often arrive at the scene of an accident even before the police do! Drivers may survive the car crash, but as 3 On Your Side's Jim Donovan reports, some may be taken for a ride by the tow truck drivers when they eventually get their bill.

T.J Schwalm was stunned when he was involved in an accident while driving his parents' car in Old City.

"We didn't even see the car, and it hit us, and it spun our car back up onto a curb," said T.J.

A tow truck from Select Recovery Service showed up and T.J. signed an agreement to have his parents' Honda towed to Alex's Auto Body, less than five miles away.

That agreement called for a $50 hookup and $2 a mile. The total cost should have run around $60.

But three days later , the family was presented with a tow bill for $795!

"I was crying at points, we were probably there for like 2 to 3 hours," said T.J.'s mother, Anita Schwalm.

The bill listed a $150 flatbed fee, $250 for a winch, $75 administration fee, $105 for storage, $50 for garage, the list goes on.

"The secretary started to get annoyed with me being there and she said she had nothing to do with it and she couldn't change the price," said Anita.

Alex's Auto Body was holding the car, one of Alex's employees wrote out the bill and would collect the money.

"We believe they were acting as agents or part of Select Recovery Towing," said T.J's father, Ted Schwalm.

Alex's told CBS 3 they don't make any money from the arrangement unless a vehicle stays there for repairs.

After the family waited for hours, eventually they spoke on the phone with the owner of Select Recovery Service, Dave Wienckowski. He said he was willing to make a deal.

"He said, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, I'll bring the price down to 500," said Anita.

"I said you know what, just pay them," said Ted.

A ransom, $500 cash! Nearly eight times what it should have cost!

Philadelphia controller Alan Butkovitz says it happens all the time.

"We found that the tow truck operators, the private tow operators in the city are running wild," said Butkovitz.

Why? Because the city only regulates some tow services. If you're towed for illegally parking, the city regulates the rates companies can charge.

But if you're involved in an accident like T.J. was, you're on your own. The tow company can charge whatever they want, as long as you agree in advance and sign a form at the scene.

When we asked Weinckowski about the overcharges he gave us a number of explanations. Among them, that T.J. was given an incorrect form to sign at the crash scene and that his family was presented with the wrong bill at the body shop. He tells us he'll refund the money overcharged directly to the family's insurance company.

So what should you know? If you're in an accident, in most cases, you can rely on a service like AAA, if you have it. You can also call a towing company of your choice.

If you are charged more than what you agreed to in writing at the scene, the Attorney General's office wants to hear from you.
