Everybody gets a shot
Tremont and Beach Towing (via) share the wealth. One time I parked in the alley behind my building to unload my groceries, and when I got back from dropping the first haul my car was on the truck. Cost me $125 just for him to put it down; he didn’t tow it a foot.
On the other hand, Beach residents feel a little differently about these guys then anyone else, because without them we’d never be able to park.

They are related and practically the same company and I heard or read they have a contract with Miami Beach that entitles the city to $25/tow. The monopoly they have is ridiculous and the way they wait for unsuspecting people to make a little mistake is criminal, to say nothing of the treatment you get when you try to pick up your car. Plus they way they careen around town is worse than a jerkoff in a hummer.
it’s called predatory towing, and it’s illegal in many states, but, of course, not this idiotic one, which has many lobbyists in tallahassee doing the towing industry’s greedy bidding…
I’m more afraid of the way those guys drive around the beach. They’re almost as bad as the cabs. Every time I cross the street at a crosswalk I feel like I’m in Deathrace 2000.
Viva Frankestein! More points for the legend…
Theyd be out of business if ppl didnt break the law
they drive the streets of miami beach in an extremely dangerous manner….even worse than most citizens…if thats possible. it seems their cozy little existence with the cops here entitles them to be above the law when it comes to rules of the road. they are a menace.
