Miranda’s Towing

Called Triple A for a tow, said it would be about an hour… driver was there in 20 minutes, called me to say he was on the way, and was very personable. Got the car on the truck quickly, and got me to the shop, and this was on a Sunday. Excellent service, hope Triple A sends them again if I ever need a tow.

I’ve called AAA quite a few times in the past few years. This last time, I had a blowout at the intersection of Rt. 419 and Lockwood Blvd. I was able to get my car into the riverside landings parking lot, with scared teenaged daughter with me. I called AAA. They sent Miranda’s Towing, and they were there in under 10 minutes! The Driver, Doug, was WONDERFUL!!! He was the best, most helpful tow truck driver I have ever encountered. His cheery manner calmed my frightened child. He told me what shops were close, asked me which one I wanted to use. I can only pray that if I am ever stranded again, Miranda’s will send this angel of a man, DOUG to me. I say Miranda’s because they send a flatbed, which you surely want.

«Doug» was very personable, funny and entertaining! Given the circumstances, he made the ride to the dealer a pleasant one and for a minute there, I was not concerned about my unfortunate situation.
They came within the hour and even knew that my car needed a flatbed. The owner’s wife also accompanied the driver to the parking lot where I was to make sure that everything went smoothly.

I love sitting by the roadside waiting for a AAA tow truck… NOT.
That’s why I love Miranda’s Towing. In 45 min. they came to my rescue. The driver du jour Tom hooked my car up to the flatbed timely and without incident. He also was personable and reminded me of the extras I had w/​AAA (which I had forgot about).
In no time at all, I was at the repair shop. Props to Tom!

My first time ever writing a review, but I felt the injustice severe enough that I felt obligated to forge an account. My experience with Miranda’s towing was an expensive one. I’m a college student living paycheck to paycheck, so the blatant extortion I was subjected to compelled me to seek this media justice. First off, I’ll stipulate to initially being in the wrong, I parked in a company’s parking lot over night down the street from where I was staying because the town house community I was visiting ran out of there 18 parking spots and there was no room left in my friends driveway. My issue is not with being towed, or having to pay for it, but I’ve been towed before and never has it cost me so much. When I called to report my car being towed, as soon as i’d found out 4:30 the next day, I was told the price was $ 160 dollars if I could be there within the next thirty minutes, otherwise it would $ 185 the following day. By the time I could find someone to take me to pick up my vehicle I had exceeded my thirty minute window. When I reviewed the bill they had charged me $ 50 in storage fees and $ 10 for the gas they used in their commute, all on top of the $ 125 towing fee. When I signed the bill, I could feel every eye in their sketchy backwoods establishment holding their breath to see if I would actually do it. The system implemented at Miranda’s towing takes blatant advantage of their position of authority and extorts money from those they assume will be compliant. Way to further the stereotype of dishonest towing companies Miranda’s towing, keep up the shady work.
