I learned the hard way, no. Not all towing companies take responsibility. When I got towed he ****ed my front bumper up and said "Opps, srry man" then made me pay before the car was off the truck. The paper I HAD to sign to get my car off the truck said in fine print "...we do NOt take responsibility for ANY damage" I have to find my copy so I can show you guys.

I talked to a buddy of mine, he used to be a tow truck driver and said that that is a big no-no. Under no circumstances should the customer be in or near the car while the car is being taken on or off the truck.
I can get them in trouble for that big time but I dont have any proof, I will be video taping future experiences.

That's my biggest fear, car breaks down and have to have the car towed. I only hate to see what would happen if he did that to my car. The world is crazy, people just don't care about other people's property. The work standard has gone way down in the last five years. If everyone would just respect people's belongings we would never have problems. Most people don't enjoy working and they return the favor buy destroying your personal belongings. It's very sad to see people just not giving a rats *** about the job they have, even worse when something happens to your car!

They can be towed in such a manner for super short distances (aka:around the block or to safety) without messing up the drivetrain. This is inevitably mentioned in every thread of this subject matter. Search n00b! (Sigma is going to also come in here and say that his broke being towed 3 miles, FYI).
