Business ProfileforAthens Towing

On April 22, 2023, my vehicle was towed in Athens Ohio at 730 pm. It says it was towed because of “signage” of which there was NONE. My vehicle was towed by Athens Towing, Athens, Ohio. Located at 10963 State Route 550 Athens, Ohio. ###-###-#### The next day, April 23, 2023 at 230 pm, I sought to retrieve my vehicle. This was approximately 19 hours later. To retrieve my vehicle, I was charged: 1. Storage $35 a day x 2. They said it was 2 days….employee said “Saturday and Sunday” even though it has been 19 hours. Additionally, they are only allowed to charge $17.00 per day in accordance with the PUCO regulations/Ohio Administrative Rule 4901:2-24-03 (B)(1). I should have been charged for 1 day=$17.00 not for 2 days at $35.00 x 2 days =$70.00. Ridiculous. 2. Towing. Assuming it was properly towed which I dispute, I was charged $165.00 for towing. PUCO regulations/Ohio Administrative Rule 4901:2-24(A)(1) allows only $129.00 per towing, 3. Other Amounts Charged. Was charged a fuel surplus charge of $10.00. Not permitted by regulation/rule. Was charged an after hour charge of $95.00. Do not think it was “after hours” since employee was there working and answering phones. Even applying their ridiculous and unlawful rate of $35.00 per day storage, if I had waited another day until Monday to retrieve the car, it would have been cheaper. Ridiculous. 4. Tax. Charged 7.25 tax which is allowable, but was obviously too much considering the over charges. 5. Towing was questionable. Request copy of “signage” they claim car was towed pursuant to.
