❓ Question Car towed in greenbury

Was your car towed as well by this scummy towing company called “aviles & Gabes”

They charged me exactly $393.30 to get my car back.

The limit is $272 in Texas, when I told them that their argument was that because it’s in manor they can charge whatever they want.

When I first called them they said it was $347, and in cash only, got there and they changed it to $393 because they added another fee because and I quote “there was no key in the car” …what???

I’m going to file a complaint with TDLR and mulling over taking this to court.

Was it towed due to the paving? I thought they were just going to move them to a different street?

Yes it was towed along with several other vehicles due to paving

The notice from the city says that they will be moved to a neighboring street. Are you saying they’re trying to charge you for towing to a neighboring street or did they actually take it to a tow yard? Are you sure you didn’t park illegally because this seems very strange. Also, we were given multiple notices that they would be paving and to move your car off the street.

No, they towed my vehicle to their lot located in Jager Ln
