I hate to say it but to me it seems as tho your just bitchy you got towed.

Now when they tow a car in a hurry like in your case they will just pick it up from the driving wheels and drag it around the corner where they have some distance from the RO and then proceed to open the door and release the park brake or dolly the vehicle. If it was dollied they charge more for that. If they need to open the door they slim jim or use an air bladder to gently wedge the door open to reach the unlock button. All of which if done by a pro does no damage. I'd assume it was an experienced driver based on the fact he was in and out in the time it took you to piss.
Now they might give you grief when you call up asking for a potential damage claim form cus in their eyes thats just a pissed off guys way of saying I'm gonna fuck with you next year when my ebrake is worn out. Cus thats what pissed off bitter people do and they deal with it daily.

I'm just concerned that it may be, since nobody there seemed to be able to answer me ONE simple question - how it was towed, and whether entry was needed. They kept pushing responsibilities around, told me to talk to (at the time not present) management, which is now ignoring me. I actually am not that pissed about being towed, since I understood it was my fault at first for parking in the wrong place. I have no problem paying the 90 or so dollars, and did so right away. Hell, I didn't even know the potential damage form existed - I just wanted to know how my vehicle was taken from the lot.

That was one expensive piss

^yeah, good thing my friend (who I helped move into his new place) isn't a dick and bought me lunch afterwards
I just got off the phone with Busters. Turns out dollies were used for my car. They also told me that it is actually shown on the invoice itself, but the driver wrote too lightly for it to be seen on my carbon copy (now that I look at it, the check beside "dollies" is so faint you won't be able to see it under direct light).

Well, my question has been answered... about 4 days overdue
I'm still going to file a complaint against the customer service rep, however that may be achieved. I want her to DISCIPLINED

Just drop it man.. it sucks, receptionist was dumb, but it's not going to go anywhere. You said yourself that she just kept citing policy. They aren't going to discipline her for being mean.
Just be thankful you got your car back damage free.

at first

the only thing i thought could be harmed from a tow would be door jams, weather stripping etc... but then I had my car towed one time from an accident (where if the bumper wasn't dragging on the ground, i'd have drove away) and had a hulk sized fist dent in my car when I went to pick it up.

FFS... these tow truck companies WANT to get cocktails of fire in their yards as celebration or something?

I even know a friend working for busters on main, and he says all of the drivers other than him and (not to be racist) a few asian guys he knows are total dicks, and will kick dents in cars, and steal just about everything.

You wanna know the cheapest place to get your next Type-R badge? Towing places have about 10000 they'll probably sell you under teh counter
