Well, if your car is causing a massive jam, and there's already a tow truck there, but you want to call your own tow truck and wait 1 hour for it, and force 10,000 people to be 1 hour late ...

Maybe you can negotiate with the police and tow truck? Pay RM50 for the tow truck to pull your vehicle just a short distance away so that it stops blocking traffic?

Most tow truck works to cheat your money and perhaps remove your original parts of your car.
Their aim is to make you sign and your case is lost once you signed.

Do you think so much of the car behinds you and prepared to get scammed? Of course if there is option, I would push my car to the side. But definitely no way to let them tow the car.

Things will be difficult if the driver decided to tow your car to his workshop instead of tow your car to safe location. Then you have to deal with thugs on your own. Do you want that?

I rather get a saman or DBKL to tow the car back to their compound. This way you ensure the safety of your car and maybe fines few hundreds rather than few thousands (and maybe not even a good repair) from the scammers.

Towing company don't do anything. They just tow to the workshop. It's the workshop that's suppose to "do everything" for you ... liase with insurance company, adjuster, get police report, etc.

TS: which workshop did your car end up in? (so that we can avoid it if we want them to handle the insurance claim for us).

PS: TS, how did you get his personal pictures? All those pictures and no picture of his tow truck? I find it weird that the tow truck driver would give you this kind of pictures to you.

Here is the workshop name, N.T.P AUTOMOBILE SDN BHD,No 114,115,SD23,SD25,56,Senawang Light Industrial,4 1/2 Miles,Jalan Tampin,70450 Seremban.

your fren shud have engaged wif his/her insurance company for towing service..

never sign & agree to other tow truck operators.

we are paying hefty insurance premiums yet we dont know the towing service is free within some km radius..50km if im not mistaken..

be it a breakdown
or an accident.. call or contact your insurance toll free number..

Depends on the policy, most auto insurance will put big big words like free towing for breakdown issues etc....but actually, got fine print states free towing for those who opt for extra coverage like window etc

Mostly they will put as

QUOTE
" Free Road Assistance Service"

small prints will say
With selected add-on coverage purchased along with your comprehensive coverage, you'll be entitled for free emergency road assistance, offering services such as change of punctured tyre, battery, towing service, accident assistance, out of petrol and more.


So its best to check with your agent regarding breakdown, dont be caught off guard thinking all Auto insurance have this free service

Hi guys. Yesterday my car got accident near seremban2. Called the insurance auto ssist ( AXA affin) they told me my insurance was third party so it wont cover the towing service. So they gave me my number to some longkai named hairi. He then came separately with two towing truck company, Binjai and CMS towing. I agreed to leave my car at binjas cms bodywork and paint. He said they will give quotation on monday. Now after some research on the internet, I am worried if they charge me ridiculously. My car is proton wira, some damage on the right tyre, might be the arm bar, lamp, mudguard .

My friends was involved in car accident, 3 call men reached within 5 minutes. Already told them many times our own insurance tow truck was coming. They still waited till the truck reach. Our insurance tow man talked with the 3 call men, but they don't leave so the damaged car cant be towed away. These 3 call men 100% looked like gangster from head to toe. At last we drove the damaged car slowly to nearby carpark and call another tow truck.
Let the tow truck to tow the call men car rclxms.gif

These call man really sucks, the attitude and outlook make people scare to give them business.

Next time you guys just dial 999, and remember to share their car number here.
