The Journal of Cathlyn Cartier Where to park....

a '98 Saturn with front end damage? Well I almost showed someone where to park it today!
I had an accident last Saturday. I called my fiance, who called a friend of his who owns a tow truck... long story short, his friend couldn't do it and recommended another "friend" of his.
This was the beginning of the rip off. I saw the tow slip the night I was towed, it was $150 for the first tow, and another $150 to transfer it to the body shop this guy recommended... "If they know it's not an insurance claim they can work with you to bring it down." So, he towed it stored it over the weekend, moved it to their shop on Monday.
I called Monday morning, they had my car, but they hadn't looked at it yet. I called back Monday evening, they needed to put it up on the rack and look at the suspension.
I called Tuesday, he was just getting ready to look at it, but from the visual inspection (before looking at the suspension, etc.) he said it would be a minimum of $1200. I told him I needed to know what it would cost because if it were over $1500, I would have the car towed off and strip the transmission to repair another same year Saturn my dad has.
It wasn't until yesterday that I finally got the guy to give me a figure... after I called him again.... $2051 miniumum to $3100! I told him I would settle the tow fee and have the car picked up today.
When I got there, the $300 tow fee is now $385, plus $15 per day for 5 days for storage... even though it was their own damn fault that the car sat there because they didn't get the estimate done in a timely manner! THEN they wouldn't accept a check because it was storage fees. I only had $400 cash on me... My blood pressure is rising just thinking about it now! The owner agreed to the $400.... damn good thing she did, I was so tempted to tell her she could shove my car up her ass, sideways! Maybe I should have, because a rebuilt transmission can't cost too much more than $400! Then she'd still have the problem of disposing of the car!
May her tits reach her toes and her ass drag the floor in 2006! But then with what she's charging people, she'd just have plastic surgery to tuck it all back into place! I am currently Pissed Off
