On 6/13/15, I stopped to visit a friend who was getting married. I picked up my tuxedo and stopped by his home. I pulled into an open spot and parked. There were no signs, I was not on the lawn and didn't block a hydrant or driveway, I'm a New Yorker and have never been towed, ever! I greeted his parents, children and family. I looked out of the window and my vehicle was gone.
Upon investigation I realized that my car was towed and I immediately called the towing company savage towing. Pete Savage stated he locked up the vehicle and was on his way home. He tried to get nasty and I informed him that conflict was unnecessary I was a NYS chaplain and taking part in a wedding where the tuxedo was in the car. He acknowledged that I handled the situation better than most people and gave me his fee of $150 in cash only, and the location of the towing yard, 8360 Chapel Hill Road, Cary, North Carolina 27513 Phone: (919) 427-9373 . He stated he would contact me in a about 30 minutes.
Lie #1 - This time passed and there was no return call. I called him and he stated that there were two people that he would return to meet.
Lie #2 - He stated that upon returning the price of $150 would be increased for his convenience. I refused the shake down and assured him that I kept my word and showed up with the $150 cash as he originally stated. The housing authority and the towing company are both at fault and have established this practice that is harmful to many.
Lie #3 - 24 hour operation. His website states that he operates 24 hours. He told the police officer, the groom to be and I that this was not true. This is a
lie.
http://carytowingservices.com/ lie #4 - At this time he refused to come as he stated he would (due to my refusal of any extra fees.) and I had to call the police who documented this waste of time and money. the groom to be and I spoke with him several times and he continued to stated how is calling the police working for you. He has no respect for others time and money and disgraced us and ruined the bachelor party and wedding ceremony with over 120 guests. I wasted hours waiting at his lot and the police arrived on the scene and took our statement and established a meeting time the next day.
Lie #5 - The meeting time established was 9am and the wedding was almost two hours away. Pete Savage arrived by 9:15am after I called him twice to assure he arrived to allow us to make the wedding plans. I was late to the schedule wedding time but thanked God that I made it with the tuxedo.
