Scammer!! Beware predatory towing

Sick they almost towed my car with my granddaughter in it!! These people are most rude, inconsiderate busines I ever met. And sad when business owner spends 7years in prison yet communities still allow him in our neighborhoods!

SCAMMERS***BEWARE!!!

On the morning of 6/5/2014 at approximately 9:10 a.m. my 98 Honda Civic LX was illegally towed by Shanks Towing. I parked in a 15 minute parking zone in downtown Fredericksburg, and was out of my car for no more than 5 minutes, before I came back to find that my car was... snatched and missing. After flagging down a Fredericksburg Police Officer, he then informed me that they receive several complaints, and that the company pays loiterers to call the company when someone leaves their car and doesn't go directly into the place of business. When I arrived at the towing company to address the situation, the receptionist was very rude and nasty, and proceeded to lie about the circumstances behind the towing from the beginning of the conversation. Her co-worker joined in and tried to "fix" her lies, and only contradicted themselves and made matters worse. They then claimed they didn't know their employee's name that towed the car. The also refused to give me my vehicle, which they illegally towed, and charged my $100. During the conversation, while I was explaining to them I was parked in 15 minute parking and was parked for no more than 5 minutes, the women turned to a large man sitting in the back and told them to "let out the dogs" on me. They were all very rude, they all lied profusely, they threatened me with assault by animals, and were racist towards me. I paid the $100 to regain custody of my vehicle, and left. At home, I looked up their company online and found many reviews in which other locals vehicles were illegally towed as well, referring to the company as "predators". This is a very bad business and I fully intend to follow through with criminal charges as well as a lawsuit.

Fast response... And experienced

Bailed me out twice.. Once around the corner and once 35 mile tow up the road.

On time and ready to get it done!

Fantastic

Getting your car towed (or in my situation, almost towed) can be frustrating enough in itself, but the guy who I dealt with was very nice, professional, and best of all understanding. He made an annoying situation not so bad after all.
