Quick Response Towing Inc

I was illegally parked and spoke with the tow driver while he was hooking up my truck. I told him that I was going to run inside to get my permit and he agreed. When I came back out in about 60secs, he was gone. I ended up having to pay $360. This is aggressive towing and the tow driver is a snake. After arguing my point to management, of course they disagreed with me and stated theres nothing that can be done to refund all or part of my money. THIS HAS TO STOP!!!! more

THE SHAME OF BALTIMORE on SUPERBOWL PARADE DAY. My teenage daughter got stuck on MLK BLVD during the Superbowl parade. She decided to wait it out and stopped at the Dollar Store. (MLK & Washington Blvd) were she purchased items (have receipt) then to Tony's Grill for a sandwich. She came out and our car was gone. As far as we know no attempts were made to notify car owners. Many others were towed from the same parking. The assumption being they were all at the stadium. \r This company should be ashamed to make a quick buck on the backs of the Ravens Fans yesterday.\r \r These businesses have now lost a customer. They will not get our business again more

When are people going to take responsibility for their own actions ? The signs are bigger in Baltimore than any jurisdiction in the Country. Everybody knows you can't park on private property and leave the property. I did it, paid my fine and left. And I was treated with respect. The Owner of the Company is a Born Again Christian. Had a nice conversation with him, and he reduced my fee. more

Thanks for ruining my Christmas. more

Why would anyone make up stories about being treated rude by this company?? Come on! I understand that their are some places that you cannot park due to limited spaces, I get that! I was parked in a parking lot, PARKING lot! It was huge! I never imagined that it was prohibited. It was in a busy area with allot of businesses. I had to pay $300.00 to get it out and that was the end of it. It is what it is. The signs I saw lead me to believe that you couldn't park and leave your car at McDonalds, not the entire parking lot. I have notice that pretty much everywhere prohibits parking for too long, so just make sure not to leave your car for too long and get dropped off if you need too! I never thought that ""parking"" in a shopping center parking lot would be illegal out here in the suburbs. Time to move!!! Pros: There are none! Cons: IS this Place serious? more

To Big Berk. When they are informed of the law by reference and official web address they ignore it and sell stolen vehicles anyway. If that is the strictest adherence to the law they ALL need to be put out of business. You probably got into trespass tow so you could steel cars and get away with it. I know tow owners who left the business because of the criminal intent. To Trish88 After they towed my first truck I called them and demanded they return it or the law would be involved, within 12 hours they retaliated by taking my second truck. Both removals were in violation of Consumer Affairs protocol and Howard County law. Management finally called me after a good 7 or 8 messages and after reading him (Mr Robert Carroll) the Howard County Code sec.17.600-612 and telling him where to find it online he promised to call me back but never did. Shortly afterward I find my truck has been transferred to a recycling company while a lawsuit is in progress. I refuse to pay extortion. The company is organized for criminal activity. more

I don't understand or believe any of these negative reviews. I was recently towed for being illegally parked and was treated with respect both by the Driver and the staff at the office.When my car wouldn't start one of their Mechanics fixed the problem at no charge and I was on my way. I think some people get so mad that they got caught that they make up some of the most bizarre stories and vent their anger on the Tow Company.Rule # 1- Take responsibility for your own decisions that you make. And when you get caught : point the finger where it belongs, at yourself. more

I was recently towed because I parked illegally. They tore up my vehicle in the process. I confronted the truck operator when he was raising my vehicle. He refused to put it down and left me in the freezing rain. I offered to pay so he would not take my vehicle away and the driver gave me the finger and drove off. I got a ride to pick up my vehicle and it was damaged. There was no manager to discuss the damage. I called 3 times the next business day as I was towed on a Saturday. I never got a call back. I called two times the next day and never got a call back. Finally, on the 3rd day, I got the owner to look at my vehicle. He said he would call be back by the end of the day with a resolution. He never called. I called the next day and he said he would call me right back. He never called. My lawyer called reached him and he says they did not do the damage.....of course he said that. Next step...civil court. What a bunch of idiots! The bad karma will get them in the end! more

On 02/14/12 I was picking up food from G&M and buying my drinks from Whitey's however I went to G&M first. I spent about 4 to 5 min in G&M getting my food just to come out in see my truck being towed. it was $150 drop fee in order to get my truck. Quick Response was the tow truck company. I would never do business with either establishment. I am getting with several other businesses to put the word out on these guys. it’s a big scam and it's not cool. you have the owner standing outside having cars towed away. if you’re going to stand out there just tell the ppl that they will be towed just so heartless. I see that it would not have mattered if I got my drinks before or after I was going to be towed. I will be sure to inform my AAA never to send them to my location and why. they are a scam for a tow truck company.. more

I am a tow truck operator in Baltimore. I have worked at numerous towing companies. Many of which do "" Tresspass Towing."" It's funny how people think they can park however, wherever they want, and there should never be any consequences. I did work for quick respones at one time, and out of the companies I worked for, they are the stricktest on "" following the law"". Like it or not, YOU screwed up and got caught. We as drivers work on a commision basis, only making on average $30 per car, $15 if you pay the ""Drop Fee"" . No driver is going to risk his job by ""threatening"" or ""stalking"" illeagel parkers. Although, the ""stories"" are very funny, just keep in mind, they are just that, stories that people tell so you will feel bad for them. After all, would you like it if somebody parked across your driveway, and walked across the street to see one of your neighbors.................. didn't think so! more

My car was towed by quick response towing after I walked away for about 5min. I was told it was $300.00 CASH ONLY. Went to pick up my car could not look at it or in it until I paid and signed the paper work. Went back to the store and spoke to the owner were my car was towed, He stated he never authorize quick response and that the address on the slip that was given to me was not there address. At this point this is a civil matter I don’t know who else on here will like to file a claim or be a witness in a trial. I am asking for jury trial, and suing these thief’s for ripping off people in the city of Baltimore. I have printed a form from the IRS site that I have filled out and made a copy of the receipt that was given to me and sent it off to the IRS. www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3949a.pdf I also made a claim at the BBB. greatermd.bbb Please feel free to contact me if you would like me to be a witness to testify about my experience with Quick response towing. I will also like to have a few witnesses at my jury trial when time comes. Please feel free to contact me at Cherryanwhip1@yahoodotcom 0r text me or call me @ 240-745-4215 more

Quick Response Towing Inc - Social Irresponsibility:\r \r I was delivering dirty clothe to the laundry located in shopping center stopping my car near another car doing the same thing. In a matter of two or three minutes when I turned my back to the glass door, I saw a Quick Response Towing Inc truck pulling up to my car. I told him I was delivering dirty cloth to the laundry. I also told him that to my understanding the yellow sign is for loading and unloading also. He told me unless I pay $150 cash he is going to tow my car, and if it was towed I would pay $275. After a lot of verbal disagreement, my car was towed. When I went to recover my car at 531 Caton Ave, Baltimore, I ended up paying $300 which is different from the truck driver told me. This happened on December 22, 2011, and I took it very easily by saying that this was my Christmas Gift. Quick Response Towing and other towing companies should be socially responsible, especially during holidays like Christmas and New Year. I am considering filling a case against Quick Response Towing Inc\r more

I was eating in the Church's chicken by Hopkins and needed to use the restroom. The bathroom was closed and they said I could go across the street to the weinberg building to use it there. As soon as I walked across the street the Quick Response truck pulls up to my car. I told him I was just going to use the restroom and I was a paying customer at Church's. He said okay and I went to the restroom. When I came back he had hooked my car up to the truck. I asked him what he was doing to my car and he responded ""its my car now, punk!"". The he said, unless I wanted to pay $150 in unmarked bills to unhook the car, he would impound it. I said I would go the the ATM, and not a second later he floored the gas and took off with my car while flipping me the bird and laughing. I showed up to the shady business and they said pay $300 cash (no tracable form of payment would be accepted) or I would be ""dealt with"" and its ""not worth your life"". A bunch of low-life thugs .... we need to arrange a class action lawsuit against these guys. They also damaged my bumper in the process. more

Total Scam - posted a sign on a empty building then waited with 3 trucks for the parking lot to fill from the surrounding business and then started towing vehicles. When confronted one of Quick Responses drivers acted as if he had a gun in his belt and said he would kill anyone that interfered. Police were called but let the guy go - I guess its not illegal to threaten people with bodily harm. Wrong move guys - we'll be watching for you from now on. more

My husbands car was towed today by Quick Response off of a library parking lot in baltimore city. My husband was there taking my daughter to a library reading group. A neighboring business who also shares the lot with them has one side, and my husband parked where there was NOT a sign!! After checking in with the neighboring business and the library, the tow driver only checked the business to see who's car it was, it was not called in! My husband was informed that he could pay a drop fee of $150, but would not wait until my husband ran to the bank machine to get the money out. Took off without even waiting. The police were called, and they just drove by didn't even stop and see what was going on.\r \r more

SCAM SCAM SCAM\r \r I am disable w/handicapp stickers in window,and a hang tag and have been living at my address for 16 years, never ever had this problem. I parked my car in front of my door to unload my bags brought the bags in the house and went back to move my car and it was gone. Mind you I had my car in front of my own door at my home. Reported my car stolen and the police called me back to say that my car was towed by Quick Reponse Towing. I called QRT and they said that I need $220.00 to get my car back. I am reporting this to the news and I will persue an investigation on this company. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AT ALL. more

I parked my car, walked accross the street to a proprietor's business. They had a sign posted not to park accross the street or you would be towed. Having read that sign, I went back to move my car. But the tow truck driver was camped out on the other side of this parking lot so by the time I got to my car he already had it up off the ground. I told him I was there to move it but he said it was already impounded. For $150.00 CASH ONLY he would release it. I told him I didn't has enough cash and he right away pointed me to an ATM in the lot owners business. It was a drill they seemed to have down pat. So my 2-5 minute stay cost me $150.00 plus $3.00 in ATM fees. Pros: zero Cons: yes they are cons more

Not only is their business a joke but so is the midgit owner. Watch out ladies... If you're somewhat attractive and call quick response for a tow.. You might not have to pay cash but he'll ask for another type of payment. more

9-3-09. One of two of ""QUICK RESPONSE'""s tow truck drivers crossed the double yellow line today to pass me on Fleet St. today between stop signs an attempt to catch up to his fellow driver who was in front of me. When my car blocked him from forcing his tow truck (as well as the Dodge minivan he was towing) in front of me, he stopped while blocking both lanes of traffic, got out of his truck, and asked me ""if I had a problem?"", told me "" get the F out of the car"" and that I ""was F'n' slowing down in front of him on purpose"". After quickly telling him that I was driving slow because of the STOP SIGNS every few hundred feet, he continued to yell and then punched the window of my car and walked back up the street. When I (yelling out the window) for the name of his company, his fellow driver approached my car and told me ""It doesn't matter, you're F'n with the wrong people"". I'm honestly not one to complain, or even write an online review for that matter, but this was one of the most ridiculous situations I have been involved in. One in which someone/(in turn) a company should clearly be held accountable. Yes, I called the company and they are apparently calling me tomorrow. But still...ridiculous. Cons: tow truck drivers more

Our car was towed after the Ravens game as well. My 7 year old child and my husband had to stand in that lot to wait for a ride. $300.00 for a family night! We've called the supposed to be ""owner"" of the lot who contracted the towing company. He basicly said ""too bad"". A GIANT grocery employee's car was towed as well. These people has no conscience whatsoever. Karma is a bit*h. I know they won't get away with this. This won't last much longer. Cons: Scameers more
