My car was towed by Rapid Recovery *** in ********** on March 11, 2025, from my job. I have a 2024 Jeep Compass. Rapid Recovery *** was careless when towing my vehicle. As they put my SUV on their tow truck I saw them drop my vehicle two times when attempting to lift my SUV on their tow truck. When I received my SUV back in my possession my car was making a funny grinding noise and the front wheels are wobbly.Initial Complaint

I PARKED MY CAR IN THE BACK OF MY APARTMENT BUILDING. I HAVE A STICKER ON THE CAR, BECAUSE I PAY FOR PARKING. THEY TOWED MY CAR BECAUSE THEY SAID I PARKED OUTSIDE OF THE YELLOW LINE. I WOKE UP AND SAW THAT MY CAR WAS TOWED AT 11PM . I PAID TO GET MY CAR BACK FOR ******. NO PROOF OR EVIDENCE THAT MY CAR WAS PARKED OVER THE YELLOW LINE. NO PHOTO TAKEN. HOW DO I KNOW IF THEY ARE LYING. THIS COMPANY HAS NEGATIVE REVIEWS ALREADY, STATING THAT THEY ARE SCAMMERS. I IMMEDIATELY GOT A RIDE TO THE *********** IN LESS THAN AN HOUR AND THEY ARE CHARGING RIDICULOUS PRICES.Initial Complaint

3/1/25 6:45am- I had to be at work at 7am. I walk out to my car being towed from the spot Ive been parking in the past 3 years. The week of 2/3/25 was the first time they towed me, which was for a valid reason. 3/1/25 First they tell me I had no sticker, I reply why did it take 3 years for you to notice (which I have a sticker, its just their way of BS). So the new reason was 2 of my tires were touching their property. I was in my driveway, next to my building parked like always. I have to avoid the parking pole next to our building. I was not in their way. I was not in anyones way. We never have any issues in my lot, or the one next door! This company STEALS cars and needs to be put out of business. They cant just go around taking peoples cars like this, then charging $240 for 2 hours. They dont play fair. They are literally robbing people. The reviews you find about this company on ******, and the BBB are all the same. Everyone is literally complaining about the same thing, yet nothing has been done. Ive never in my life filed a complaint about a business, but this is downright not right.Initial Complaint

On October 20 2024 my car was towed from a church parking lot while I was away to get a sensor to repair it. The tow driver spoke to someone who informed him I was on my way back to move the vehicle and told him I had 5 minutes to move it. My problem isn't that they towed it. It is how they towed it. The vehicle is a 2008 ***** es350 front wheel drive and the front of the car was facing the parking block. The tow driver pulled my car from the driver side front wheel to straighten it so he can tow it and was witnessed doing so. I arrived at the tow yard requesting to speak to the driver to confront him on how he towed it. Long story short the steering linkage was damaged and I had to get another tow company to tow my car home as it was now inoperable. Will be calling the **************************** Police to have them investigate the matter. I understand they have a job to do but it should be done properly. I will seek reimbursement to repair my vehicle.Initial Complaint

This supposedly private community contracted with this crooked so called tow company the tow trucks are unmarked. I'm having my vehicle inspected of their is any damage. I notified my attorney after I made the Po report. Ivy Park their employee need to reimburse. No reason to have towed my vehicle and then tell me y'all are closed due to them not answering their phone, A police report was filed, how was I to know the property employee called to have my vehicle towed. I'm so sick of hating subhumans. Both these places should be fined, they gone mess with the right person.Initial Complaint

Towed car and charged despite the person driving it had a handicap placard that was not properly displayed. Showed evidence of placard but all they wanted was to charge. They patrol the parking lot and grab cars within 5 minutes. And dont care if you have a legitimate placard to park at handicap. Very discriminatory.Initial Complaint

My vehicle was taken with my sticker clearly displayed on my car. My axel is broken, my car was backed in straight, the lines are diagonal, the space I was in is too close to the gate to park diagonal. The car wasn't there a whole 30 mins. This is now the 2nd time these people have stolen my car from behind my house at ******. Also the man that answered the phone was very rude, when I called to asked if they had my car he said. "Yeah you was parked bogus as hell" Then proceeded to say if I want my car back to come pay them, then pay an additional fee for them to bring it back. There is no way these people should be allowed to just take cars off of private property that display the sticker that we pay for monthly.Initial Complaint
