Special Interest Towing

Ran myself into a ditch on a rainy night, no street lights around and apparently a meth lab crackhead encampment nearby. Called the sheriff and they came by and brought the guys from Special Interest. Justin and Charles were so nice and professional, they got my car out with some seriously awesome moves. I’m so thankful that they showed up when they did, because come on, stranded in the middle of nowhere thinking about all the different ways this can turn into a horror movie is not that fun in real life. These guys are total ninjas and I just cannot thank them enough for LITERALLY saving my life!!! LITERALLY y’all!!!

Worst customer service ever! Was charged $ 300.00 for my friends dad’s car which was towed from Lakewood to all the way out in Kent which makes no sense. I am absolutely frustrated with this company!

Nobody likes having their car towed. Nobody likes having to pick up their towed car. Nobody likes having to pick up their towed car on a holiday weekend. And you left your wallet in said car, so you have to borrow the cash to have it released because the guy who shows up won’t let you get your wallet out of your car.
Yeah, my car got towed. I know it’s a holiday, so there was nobody on site when we showed up and we had to wait about a half hour for them to show up (my bad for not calling ahead). The guy who did all out paperwork was nice enough, but wouldn’t let me go out to my car and get my debit card I had forgotten in it. It also took him about 15 minutes to run the payment card we forked over through their antiquated system, and then had to make a copy of it– sketchy much? I guess the only advantage is that taking my car out was cheaper than I thought it would be– but I suspect only because WSP sets the prices for car removal for tow yards.

1) The service and attitude of the office lady was TERRIBLE, i mean she is literally worse than Walmart employees.
2)My car was towed here due to an accident that was not my fault. Wanted to release my car for other towing companies to pick it up and drop it at my house (Due to insurance company being a pain in the butt), they require TONS of information to even release our car and is not negotiable at ALL.
Literally the worst towing company I ever experienced with (Used other towing companies)

Called both Gene Meyer and Special Interest towing for quotes on pulling my dead CTS V caddy to the shop (see my review on Goodyear/​GoodNeighbor on 3^rd st, Renton same date for a good shop). Gene Meyer’s gave me quote at $ 75 for the hook up fee and $ 4.75 per mile.
Special Interest initially quoted me 75 hook up and 3.75 per mile, but then I mentioned I am a resident of Cambridge Villa apts who has a contract with Special Interest and was immediately given lower rates of $ 65 for hook up and 2.75 per mile. Mileage exactly 2.0 miles so ended up paying $ 77 (includ taxes) for total charge, probably about $ 20 cheaper than what I would have gotten through Gene Meyer.
Two caveats:
1. Derick, driver with Spc Interest, took extra time to put my caddy on rear dolly so the low ride was not injured in transit. Very professional and considerate in action; very amicable and a good guy in conversation.
2. I waited better part of two hours (at home, retired so not an issue for me, but something to make certain you ask about if you are stranded or in a hurry… simply ask for response times and call around to others e.g. Gene Meyer).
I might ding Special Interest a point here as I was in a «moment» with my gf just as the truck arrived, but honestly, I really, REALLY wanted to get my car back up and well, for the «moment», Derick was just more important.
No, not a «Bro-​Mantic» guy, I’m just sayin’ I really wanted my V wheels up
