Tri County Automotive and Towing reviews and complaints

If I could give them a negative number I would!
We sat on the Florida Turnpike for FOUR HOURS IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER with no airconditioning.
The woman on the phone consistently lied (and was VERY RUDE) to us and AAA. First it was 50 minutes, then 30 then 15...
When the driver finally came he said he was sitting at the service plaza for hours and just got the call.
After a night in the hotel we are having the car towed to another repair shop. We saw what horrible reviews they have.
But first I had to pay them a $30.00 storage fee. That was fine but they wouldn't take payment over the phone. So we had to walk to a gas station and call her back with the fax number. They didn't give us a # to return the fax so had to go through getting a hold of them for a #. Really? Who would send someone a fax without a return contact number?
I certainly hope AAA drops them as a certified tow company and they will if I have anything to say about it.

Anyone who's slammed or lowered and stuck in the Okeechobee area or on the Turnpike... DO NOT CALL TRI COUNTY TOWING. I'm at the Fort Drum service plaza and I live in broward, Triple A is covering my tow up to 200 miles and Tri County drivers [censor]ed and complained because my car was lowered, I have adjustable coilovers and I told the driver that I'll raise my car up right now so he would put it on the truck. He called his supervisor and told him that I was on bags (air suspension which costs roughly $2, 000) and it's a high risk because they don't want to damage a compressor. Like I said I have adjustable coilovers and it's a 97 Honda Civic, my suspension costs $40 on EBay. I've call Tri county a number of times and asked to speak with their supervisor to take the call, the dispatcher refused to transfer my call. But the issue isn't that my car is lowered, they want cash up front... It's a $700 tow and my AAA membership covers me and they will get their money, but they want to double dip and get cash plus the money from Triple A. And eventually they Declined the call. I'm still in Okeechobee waiting on a tow truck from Fort Pierce who took the call. All I'm going to say is screw Tri County Towing and make sure if you travel distances to have the most expensive AAA membership which is $127 a year.

I've never had to deal with such rude, ignorant people in my entire life. They charged $238 for a local tow, not more than 10 miles away; and 2 days worth of storage fees even though it sat for 12 hours, along with, of course, administration fees. I am an auto transport broker, and I work with very good guys in the towing industry. These guys are running a racket and scamming people left and right. It was towed from a private property, when asked about the outrageous price, they tell people the county sets those prices. THIS IS NOT TRUE FOR PRIVATE PROPERTY. The moment we stepped into the office they were extremely rude. Once paid, and signed the receipt, the woman snatched the receipt out of my hand because I asked a question, threw my money back, and said they weren't releasing my vehicle. I had to call the Fort Pierce Police Department just to get them to release my vehicle.
