What clients say about George Smith Towing Inc. in Philadelphia (PA)

My car was held hostage by a driver that is a convicted felon; he illegally put my car on a tow truck despite not blocking anything, no sign, no ticket. He told me to get in the truck to go to an ATM - I said no. He offered venmo; which I did - not realizing I was being scammed. The amount of complaints that this company has on the Better Business Bureau, Attorney Generals office, etc - how are they still in business???

I have never dealt with this company until today and I hope I never have to deal with them again. This truck thought it was good idea to go the wrong way on a one way street and then tried to intimidate to move by driving close to my car. Going the wrong way on a one way street is extremely dangerous and they should be aware of that. If I could give zero stars I would.

Criminals, plain and simple. These guys are criminals. I paid to park in their lot, and because I didn't place the parking ticket in the window, they tried to take my car and extorted me for $200. I'd love to help with a class action suit, if anyone else is going for it.

They’re scammers They towed my trailer from the back of the Penrose plaza. I had a kingpin lock, and glad hand lock on it. I am pregnant & started bleeding when I left my delivery in Maryland which got me to Philly at 1:45am Friday…I was originally coming to Philly for a doctors appointment & ended up in the emergency room after I got to Philly & stopped at a family member’s house to clean myself up before going to the ER & I was there until 7:30pm tonight. I go to grab my trailer from behind the plaza and take it to a truck stop…and it was gone. I called the parking authority..they told me George Smith has it..I called George Smith the woman who answered said they didn’t have it. I told her the parking authority told me that you do have it and gave me your address to come to..which is why I’m here on 61st street. There was also an older African American man there who was drunk who kept getting smart saying I made a $2k F up & I wasn’t getting my trailer til Monday….I walked away from him & over to the tow truck driver & said “listen I just had to walk away from him he’s acting real off..he smells like a distillery..(and I could smell liquor on him). The tow truck driver said “I’on know what’s wrong with him he’s acting crazy, the lady I’m talking to will be able to help you. She ended up telling me she doesn’t know where it is, but it’s gonna cost $2k…& I can pay cash app, Venmo, Zelle or cash & I have to meet the person & put the cash in their hand or send payment electronically. My trailer wasn’t even gone 24hrs.. I called the police & made a report..she calls me back & says deal with George smith to get it back. So, they’re holding my trailer hostage at this point…I called the police & made a report. We’ll see how tomorrow goes. $2k for grabbing a trailer with a kingpin lock on it is CRAZY diabolical…I’m praying they didn’t damage the kingpin if they welded it off

My husband came out to see that our car had vanished. When he called the cops, they had no record of the car being towed. My husband put in a police report for a stolen vehicle. Two hours later, the cops call to say George Smith finally put in a report that they’d taken our vehicle. Can’t wait to take these guys to small claims court. Can’t believe you guys haven’t been shut down yet. Y’all are definitely getting another complaint to the AG to add to the pile. Edit: Husband went to pick up the car which wasn’t even on the lot yet. They attempted to charge him without even getting to look at the vehicle. Finally George arrived with the vehicle. They tried intimidation tactics and claimed he would have to come back the next morning WHILE THEY HELD OUR CAR HOSTAGE, all because my husband wanted to inspect the vehicle before taking it. They took 220 dollars when they were only supposed to charge 205 because “they didn’t have change to give back.” They also didn’t accept credit or debit, only cash. They charged us the 25 dollar holding fee despite the car not even being held on the lot and more. This is illegal. Further, Mr. George himself decided to yell expletives at my husband for defending himself. Their signage was hidden behind a fence and vines. The other sign was covered in graffiti. We will be contacting all of the proper authorities and pursuing this matter to the FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW.

This company is EXTREMELY predatory!!! We have reported them to the Better Business Bureau and are planning to contact the attorney general regarding their practices. Our car was towed last night after we paid for two hours of parking. When asked why, the employee said that there were signs posted stating that the parking ticket had to be displayed in the dash. After looking through the parking lot, there were two signs stating this. One was in the corner of the parking lot that was not anywhere near where I parked and was hard to read. The other was on a structure several feet BEHIND the pay station and looked completely unrelated. We never even saw it. They told us they had already towed 9 cars that night and they were still towing more when we left. It didn’t matter that we paid for a specific spot and showed them our pay stub. We had to pay them $205 dollars IN CASH to get our car back that night. They made thousands of dollars last night from towing nearly every single car in the lot because they purposely had misleading parking rules. What’s the point of me registering which spot I’m in if I also have to put my ticket in the dash. You’re telling me there’s no way for them to see that I had paid for spot 28 or whatever by looking into the machine they supplied for payment. PREDATORY!!

If you're viewing this page, it's probably because your car got towed (like what happened to me). Rather than complain, here's the process, hope it helps... 1. Give them a call first to make sure they have it. The lot is in the Philly wasteland between the airport car dealerships and some rough neighborhoods. Save yourself the trip unless you need it. 2. They have a run down area with a cashier. My person was polite. For me it was $175 for the tow and $30 for the storage. The storage is per day so don't wait to get it out of impound. FYI their systems are old school pen and paper... In my case they didn't have it written down on the sheet so it took the cashier a minute to figure it out and find my information. 3. The cashier can give you the information on why it was towed. In my case, I strongly disagreed with the towing reason but... That's a battle for another day. You can file a complaint with the attorney general or sue the company if you feel that they unfairly towed you. However both of these options are time consuming and possibly very expensive... Plus you still need your car back! In my case the proof provided was a black and white print out of my car right before they towed it and a scribbled ticket with the citation. 4. They accept cash, credit and debit. I showed up with $205 in cash which I was pretty nervous about given the concerns about safety in the neighborhood from other reviews on this page, but turns out this was unnecessary. 5. Once you pay and sign you get your car back. I found my seat was out of position and the gas cap was open. Prior to leaving I checked for any missing items (everything was there) and I drove home. Nightmare over. It absolutely sucks to get your car impounded. I gave them a second star just because the cashier was nice at least. Since there's no website and most of their signage in the city is vague, hope this helps! Sorry your car got towed and good luck getting it back.

Bad bad people. This is a long post but I have them figured out. Here's what they do. They target strip malls Surrounded by low income Apartment buildings. They hide their signs.In my case, the sign was posted on the back of a laundry Mat in a strip mall where no one other than people making deliveries to businesses will see it. They like cool cars. guy on the phone was chill until I told him what car it was he immediately sounded piss also hung up on me. Was very confused I get there and immediately realized why( he had probly called dibs if no one came for it). If someone can't pay or thinks there car is stolen because they hide signs on the back of business's then there's zero way to tell who took it unless your walking behind the business for some reason. They resell the cars you will see when you get there. We already have the PPA to deal. FBI or city attorney general needs to look at this place its blatant racketeering. Also people I know the cars are cheap don't buy them let them sit and take up space on there lot Philly needs to let these fake mobsters rot. if your a young guy working there stop go work for triple A ( they just started hiring younger guys so dont listin to old heads who tell you you wont get it) be on the good side of towing. 28 an hour and people tip all the time
