Hello all. 
 I had a 65 mustang (restoration project) towed by flatbed. The driver put a
grappling hook over the rear axle to keep the car stable. What we didnt know
is that he put it over the flexible brake hose. Cut right through it. Brake
fluid dribbled all over the fresh black paint on the axle. Not to mention the
brake system is of the single port master cylinder type- no brakes except for
the e-brake ( they dont work that great going backwards either) Wonderful.
No tip ( we charged them for the hose )
Had my Midget towed (one time, defective head gasket with ten miles on it) the
guy used the wheel lift, felt that the rear of the car was too close to the
ground, put the rear wheels up on the dolly, took excellent care of me, and
knocked ten bucks off for being a tad late. (I gave him the ten bucks instead)
Which company had the "cheaper rates"? Another prime example of getting what
you pay for. I dont believe in tipping everybody. I believe in tipping where
due.
