Double R Towing

Had car towed by HOA. I have all of what I am about to post recorded on video at their location. Martin asked that I bring CASH ONLY (when VC section 22658 (k) clearly states any tow company must offer Credit card or cash payments) When we pointed this out to us he told us to leave his property. Then we told him we are aware of the law and where going to call the police, Suddenly he was willing to work with us again but still Only Cash. After we payed the cash(were forced to if I didn't want extra fees or wait another day for my car). Basically we were strong armed into 305 cash to get the car. Even after getting the car there was damage to the inside from where the tow driver had broken in to the car. On top of all of this once I got the car back and told Martin because I knew my rights I would file to collect legal damages for forcing to pay cash. He then got out of his truck came across the street forcefully and yelled I know where you live. He also told the clients there before us how to defraud there insurance company and get reimbursed for the towing. There car had been towed for being in a parking lot over night after a (Again every statement I made is true sand I have live video shot at his offices to prove every bit of it). Below is a copy of the state law available at dmv.ca.gov/... (k) (1) A person operating or in charge of a storage facility where vehicles are stored pursuant to this section shall accept a valid bank credit card or cash for payment of towing and storage by a registered owner, the legal owner, or the owner's agent claiming the vehicle. A credit card shall be in the name of the person presenting the card. ""Credit card"" means ""credit card"" as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 1747.02 of the Civil Code, except, for the purposes of this section, credit card does not include a credit card issued by a retail seller. (2) A person described in paragraph (1) shall conspicuously display, in that portion of the storage facility office where business is conducted with the public, a notice advising that all valid credit cards and cash are acceptable means of payment. (3) A person operating or in charge of a storage facility who refuses to accept a valid credit card or who fails to post the required notice under paragraph (2) is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than three months, or by both that fine and imprisonment. (4) A person described in paragraph (1) who violates paragraph (1) or (2) is civilly liable to the registered owner of the vehicle or the person who tendered the fees for four times the amount of the towing and storage charges. *****IN THE NEXT 2 or 3 DAYS I WILL BE POSTING ALL MY VIDEOS OF MARTIN AND HIS (what I call) Shady Business Practices. I will post those links here. (about 5 total videos, had to keep starting and stopping on my phone) This is the 1st uploaded video of Martin of Double r Towing helping the two guys in front of us on how to Defraud their insurance company. We are also filing in small claims on Tuesday for the not accepting C\c (we should get 4x the 305.00) per the law listed above. We will post with the updates as they happen. more

I had my vehicle towed by Double R Towing of Ventura. Although I was not there, two witnesses observed the tow truck driver (Martin) back into the left rear qtr panel of my truck causing $1500 worth of damage. Of course he denies it and says that he has backed into plenty of vehicles in the last 25 years and knows what that sounds like and feels like. I would recomment going elsewhere for your towing needs. more

Just had my vehicle towed by Double R towing of Ventura. I had two tires blow out on one side of the vehicle, and the operator (Sean) had to pull the spare tire off and install it on the front of the vehicle, so that he could tow it. Not to mention that he ran back to his shop to pick up a different truck that would get into the area where my vehicle was sitting. I was only charged $50 dollars for all this effort. I think Double R towing has earned my business in the future. JIm Cary Ventura,CA. more

A truck my husband sold over a year ago was impounded, they sent us a bill for over 1,000$ claiming he was the registered owner. He called explaining he was NOT and that he had sent in the release of liability and confirmed that with the DMV. The person on the phone called him ""hard headed"" and said he had to phisically bring in the document to prove it. FYI my husband is a firefighter with one day off, who should be relaxing today not worrying about this bull#$%& going on our credit. Going down the registration line hoping someone forgot to send in the release of liability so you can screw them is ridiculous and dirty. Not cool. more

Martin the man in charge is nothing but a scamer. Disgusting man to do business with. He tows for the police department, but sooner or later they will find out all the dirty jobs he is doing. If yo need some towing use Toms towing, here is the number (805) 647-0733 If you dont believe me just call double r towing in ventura and say your car got towed and you see the kinda people you are working with. Our car was not a police impound, we hire them to tow our car, and they stole a 20 dollar bill, i had by my hand brake, when i tried to talk to them they were totally rude!! I have been looking them up online and they have nothing but complaints! and look below if they are replaying to the other man's comment why do the have to rate them selves with 5 stars, the rating should be up to us the consumers not them, see, they are being dirty again!! more

Does anyone relize just how many cars are towed on a daily basis?? more

This company towed my car illegaly, and now they want to charge fees that are very high to where they make the fees higher than the value of the car so you end up just giving the car to them. Dont ever use their service, My friend got his cared impounded by Double R Towing and he got there the same day and they had already break into his car, stole his laptop and other stuff he had in there. Pros: Martin the owner is a scamer more

My Husband and I got a car from Martin's Double ""R"" Towing ""aka"" Martin's Double Auto Sales...etc and we cannot get this car a clean title. Per the DMV no transfer of tile was ever received. My Husband called Martin and told him we did not have everything we needed to get a clean title and Martin replied ""you have everything and the paperwork was mailed to the DMV and it is not his problem if the paperwork never made it there (in one of the nastiest tones). To say the least we are left with a 2500 lb worthless paperweight due to his negligence. He could have at least re-submitted his part of the the DMV paperwork, or salvage package if in fact he ever did his part of the paperwork. Needless to say here we are 6 months later and several trips to the DMV, and even researching the old owner and having him sign a bill of sale we still cannot get a clear Title, again, due to negligence on his part. Sure, we got an old car, that's what we wanted; however, it would be nice to have it legal, instead of looking stolen per DMV's eyes. Cons: Not a friendly man more
