      I was broke down. I have AAA GOLD membership ( which tows up to 100 miles). Genes towing said they accept AAA but would not drive the 13 miles from their business to where I was broke down and then tow another 16 miles from there. They said " we can't help you because AAA won't pay" I said what are u talking about you just said you accepted AAA. Then they said " well they will only pay half"

      Business Response

      Date: 07/11/2024

      Genes Towing should be commended for upholding their business policies and standards, even in the face of a customer's frustration. It is important to remember that towing companies, like any other business, have their own set of rules and limitations when it comes to providing services.


      In this particular case, the customer expected ********************************************* to go above and beyond what was required by their agreement with AAA. While it is understandable that the customer may have been disappointed by the response they received, it is crucial to acknowledge that Genes Towing has every right to adhere to our contractual obligations.


      Furthermore, it is not uncommon for towing companies to encounter situations where payment discrepancies arise between customers and roadside assistance providers. In such instances, towing companies must prioritize their own financial well-being while still striving to assist customers in need.


      Ultimately, ********************************************* should be allowed to stand firm in their decision not to provide services that would result in financial losses on our end. It is important for customers to understand and respect the policies of businesses they engage with, even if those policies may not align with their immediate needs or expectations.


      Thank you for bringing it up to our attention.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
