"Nas at the line, hasn't missed all year..."


(don't hate me)

There are tow truck companies that rush to the scene of every accident solely to hook up your car and bend over your insurance company. It sounds like Hoffy allowed one of those companies to take away his car by accident.

Towing obviously has its issues particularly in cook county. How though do you have to have another thought of worry at all after an Allstate dispatch truck hooked up your car?

Are you saying a bad guy towing company took your car, admits to having it, gives you a price and that is legal?

We ask that you please bear with us...

Day 12. I'm never seeing my car again. The guy holding my car hostage is now asking for over $6K. Every time I call the claims department, they say they escalated my claim to some manager somewhere and they are working hard on it.

Still at a standstill. Claims can't assign an adjuster, which makes sense since everyone is gone for the holiday.

On the plus side, the guy who has my car is Middle-Eastern and lives in Merrillville, IN. He has a couple of summonses that he's dealing with, so I'm hoping to throw another one on that fire. People fucking suck.

Here's the same story from CBS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYeur2EnD8k

Are they at least covering your rental?

wtf though? some tow truck just stops by, says 'here let me take your car. btw, sign this waiver with no prices on it' and she's like "OK omg thank lord there are still good people in this world" and then can't believe she was lied to?

I think at this point you can shoot him and claim domestic terrorism.

Actually, the guy kind of scares the hell out of me. The tow truck company I'm pretty certain took my vehicle from the original driver had an employee hold the place hostage not too long ago: https://www.southwestmessengerpress.com/articles/featured/potential-tragedy-prevented-at-local-towing-company/

We have allstate. I hate it. but am too lazy to shop it.

I had Allstate for a few years and some time around 2021 their rates for Homeowers and Auto raised significantly. Quick shop-around and dropped their ass.

Today marks day 50 since my "minor" accident.

Allstate finally got the car out of the lot. Cost them something like $8K. Apparently they sent this tow truck guy four times to negotiate down the price.

Car has been in the shop the past three weeks. Finally got into it and they ransacked the inside. Thankfully nothing valuable was taken. There was a bunch of additional damage, including the door and the suspension. The shop lost a few days because they didn't listen when I said OnStar blocked the ignition. They called today to have me pick the car up. I start it, pull away and hit the brakes... CLICK CLICK CLICK GRIIIIIIIINNNNDDDD. Hit reverse and backed it up right back into the shop. Now I have to wait until their mechanic looks at it again this week.

Allstate will have paid $8K for the tow impound, $1K for the rental the past 50 days, and $10K for the body shop repair.

Better than state farm, who makes fun of a guy's accent speaking a second language fluently.

I have my car! Only took 60 days and over $10K. I'm guessing Allstate will be dropping my ass when I'm up for renewal in a month.

You should probably take to Jake today.

If I can't talk to Jake at 2AM, I'm not going with State Farm.
