Ever been towed anywhere in Manila??

[benchph1]

peeps,

just want to share something that happened to me today, another towing incident that from my perception, was not practiced properly. Of course those tow trucks have a right to tow ilegally parked vehicles, but of all the cars, there were auv's, jeeps and other vehicles why did they tow mine? We parked there a couple of times before, And to make it even more unfair, there wasn't any sign saying that it is illegal to park there. I was parked at Gonzalo Puyat street in Quiapo, Manila. At first when i saw my car gone i thought it was carnapped. Good thing the tow truck guys were kind enough to leave an "Apprehension note" siting the time & place of apprehension, the plate number & type of vehicle, the status of your car and were to redeem it. The impounding area can be found at Carlos Palanca St. also in Quiapo, Manila. While i was walking towards the office in which you can redeem your towed vehicle, there was a handful of very angry and furious car owners who were complaining about the improper practice of their tow trucks. heck, i even overheard one guy that his car was towed while he was still inside! the nerve of this people! The name of the towing company is "Cathy and Kyle towing services" I don't have any friends and relatives in the authorities, but i sure want to let them know this incident. Can you help me peeps? first of all i want to know if that towing company is authorized by Manila City Hall, and also is it still under the jurisdiction of MMDA? SO WATCH OUT WHEN YOU PARK YOUR CAR AT ANY STREET IN MANILA .IF EVER YOU HAVE TO DO LEAVE , DO NOT LEAVE IT UNATTENDED. :mad: and to convince you even more, the amount you have to pay is php 1,500.00 pesos.

been towed myself years ago. Roxas service road pa iyon.

[kimpOy]

yung pick up ko lang!

nag park ako sa side ng megamall,
sakto lang naka iwas sa towing zone
after kong maglakad-lakad bigla na lang wala ang pickup ko.

ayun kinuha ko pa sa may ultra
1000 ang fine ko.

[ssaloon]

yup, along edsa pagkalampas ng guadalupe... pinatow ko nalang sa bahay ko sa timog area tapos nagbayad ng 2k.. shempre binulsa nalang nila yun.

[benchph1]

What do you we should do? para sa ibang unsuspecting car owners. I see cars being brought in every 15 minutes. with their furious owners also coming in after...all with the same complaint! i'd like to go back there again and take pictures of the place. I'm pretty sure there was nary a "no parking" sign that was posted there and file a complain to the authorities. or maybe have it investigated at mission x or imbestigador. whatchathink?

[pajerokid]

towing is just a friggin racket! Those ijots cause as much traffic as they prevent. My EG got towed in 1995 coz the front end cast a frickin shadow on a frickin zebra lane (ped xing). tangna! 1000 agad! And the brainless lowlifes wrecked my chin spoiler.

sa pasay minsan yung taxi ni erpats. tinulungan lang ng driver yun passenger nya magbaba ng kargada sa trunk, ask nung passenger kung pwede tumulong ilagay dun sa sidewalk. tapos yun na bigla na lang pumara yung tow truck stalled vehicle daw wala driver sa loob. namputsa eh di ba trabaho ng taxi driver na tulungan ang passenger nya? wala na nagawa at may kasama pulis ang mga lintek. reklamo ako ayaw pumayag. compromise na lang daw kasi na-tow na. mga hinayupak na yun! may compromise pang nalalaman.

kaso compute ko na lang magagastos ko pabalik-balik para i-protest yun eh baka ganun din, kaya compromise na nga lang, hati yun P1500 na fine, naging P750 na lang. grrrrr!

Yung delivery truck namin nahila na. Pumarada sila sa harap nung bababaan ng mga goods sa may divisoria. Nagkataon na may mga pulis na kumakain malapit dun sa lugar kaya ayun, instant kotong (wala sigurong pambayad...). Ang masama pa, binuksan yung pinto sa may passenger side sabay sakay agad. Nagreklamo yung driver namin pero habang nagrereklamo siya, kinakadena na yung truck. Ang k*pal din ng mukha ng mga yun, yung isa sa mga humila eh nakisabay pa sa truck hanggang sa impound area. :mad:

Ingat sa may P. Noval, kapag nahila sasakyan niyo dun sigurado sira bumper.

benchph1:

Kay Mr. Tulfo ng channel 5 mo ireport, ayos yan!

[shadow]

dito sa binondo, kahit madaling araw meron ng nagtotowing, basta walang kan governigth sticker, kaya ingat lang kayo dito

[benchph1]

Buti nga walang nasira sa auto ko when i got it back. at kung meron, *%$!! ibang usapan na yan. What pisses me off is they choose the cars that they want to tow. Pag mga jeep, fx & auv's kahit nakaharang at nakabalandra wala silang pakialam. kapag kotseng naka-porma palibhasa alam nilang may pangbayad, hatak agad. Kahit na, i'm still going to report this abusive people.

[mk]

o nga eh napansin ko nga yun....kapag maliit car mo totow agad nila....pero what if ford f150, expedition, starex or any bulky vehicles out there....ndi nila kaya itow...mas mapigat kasi yung kotse sa towing truck nila eh....baka sila ang ma tow. hahaha!

[caloyski5]

ako dati sa p. noval...may signs pero dami nakapark...puno palagi yun..nung tinanong ko kung bakit biglang nagtow sila dun, sabi "tuwing june nagtotow kami..." bakit tuwing june lang??hmmm..dahil maraming mga freshmen na hindi pa alam na nagtotow dun..???..that was more than a year ago..cost me 1500

[CZintrclr]

just saw a brand new Rav4 being towed here at binondo. Marami sila nakapark pero sya yung nasa huli kaya hinatak sya from the rear. Mga kupal itong mga squatter eh, pag na tow yung kotse walang pakialam samantalang sila ang nagpapa-park and sasabihin na pwde dyan. Saka wala rin kasi nakalagay na tow away zone kaya siguro naniwala yung driver.

Kung sakali at may nasira ba, may magagawa ka benchph1? Sabi mo nga wala kang kilalang in authority.

The whole right side of the road in G. Puyat St. is a no-parking zone. Next time you are in the vicinity, park in Isetann Recto and take a walk.

[boydapa]

yup! kahit sino sa tulfo brothers(raffy or yun nsa bitag) or kay tulfo(tatay) tutulungan kyo. para di na maulit sa iba---susugurin yan tow company

[BlueBimmer]

got towed in ongpin last year on holy week, ayaw ayaw pa makipagusap nahihiya kc marami tao pero pumayag tanggalin sundan ko nlang daw sya papunta recto, dun kme nagusap pnabayad ako 2k! %$$*#^#$ pakshet!!! pang sylvanus ko na sana un! hehehe

I remember the time my vehicle was towed because I parked in a no parking street (with no sign at all na bawal pala mag-park), I reasoned with the tow people na bakit ganun wala man lang sign. Sabi nila order daw yun tapos binigyan ako ng kopya ng order (malay ko ba). So i called my relative who was then a colonel of the PNP, but the tow people would not talk to him (natakot nyehehehehe). Anyway sabi ng relative ko bayaran ko na lang daw yung fee (which I did) pero gave me direct instruction to get the names of the tow bastards (hehehehe) at i-check ko kung may damage yung vehicle. the rest i know hindi maganda ang kinahinatnan nung mga tow bastards na yun.

[ILuvDetailing]

Marami dito nattow sa may masangkay and soler st., usually may kasama pang pulis. In fairness may mga matitigas talaga ulo na ibang motorista at nagpapark sa no parking zone. If your parking in the binondo area be extra carefull, I usually park on paid parking lots para sure at may peace of mind.

[BlueBimmer]

ung naparkingan ko may no parking mismo hehehe kala ko kasi dahil holy week baka walang umiikot, malas hehe

[KCboy]

ako dati had trouble din with the tow bastards but now deputize na at centralize na yung tomwing dito from city hall and i pay daily sa mga collectors so the 6 spaces sa front of my building are for my own use. kaya kung may mga gago na papaqra nalang agad at bastos pa sumagot kung pinakiusapan ko na bawal magpark, pinapatow ko. text mate ng secretary ko yung wrecker eh. hehe
