~$%&#$^&!!!!!@$%(%*&(^*()%^& Stupid Tow Company
So, today on a delivery a bunch of smoke came through the firewall with a smell of rubber. So I call Domino's to tell them that I won't be able to make it to my next delivery and that I needed someone to pick up the pizzas. I called AAA and told them that I needed a tow.
Well, I got my tow back to the store to pick up my tips and my tow to Autozone to get a new belt. I go in a pay for the belt and walk out to see the tow truck driver dropping my car off in the parking lot. Now, I haven't had the greatest day and seeing this made me irate. I told AAA and the tow truck driver to take me back to work so I could get my tips, take me to Autozone and finally to take me home so I sould fix it properly. So I finally gave up and said, "Fine, go ahead and drop me here, I'll get loaner tools and do it here." Well, being that I had things to do and was running out of time in the parking lot, gave up and did the job half assed so it would get me home so I could do it the right way and take my time making sure everything was done properly. As I head off towards home, about 2 miles from home my instrument panel lights up like a Christmas tree. I pull off and see that I had burnt this belt up. So I call AAA and lodge my complaint that the first tow truck driver didn't follow directions. They sent a new driver, picked me up and took my car to the Subie Stealership and now I will have to wait till tomorrow morning to see what can be done. Oh no, it doesn't end there. I find out that the person who took my call didn't take it properly and when the first driver was dispatched told them to drop me off at Autozone. First thing tomorrow morning, I will be calling AAA and letting them know that if they had listened right the first time, that this wouldn't have happened and that if I were at home, this whole incident could have been avoided. Rest assured, AAA will not weasel their way out of this. They will be repairing my car due to their lack of doing the job right. Am I wrong for thinking this?? Keith
