MCCarty’s Towing & Auto Repair Inc.

I wouldn’t even give these thieving, under-​handed, greedy, hateful, scamming devils 1 star, but I had to in order to vent about them.
My first experience with McCarty’s — — I had a car that needed an alternator. I took it to McCarty’s, told them it needs an alternator, and they said I’d have to leave it overnight. I told them I HAVE TO HAVE AN ESTIMATE FIRST before they do anything to it, because I may not have enough money to get it done yet.
Well, they totally disregarded that! They DID NOT CALL ME WITH THE ESTIMATE, THEY WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, AND THEN DECIDED THEY WERE GOING TO DO SOME OTHER STUFF TO IT, TOO, WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, THEN CHARGE ME FOR IT! Like 2 new tires, a new battery even though the one I had was only 14 months old, and a tune-​up, oil change, etc etc! So I didn’t have enough money! The scumbags HELD MY CAR and wouldn’t give it to me until the whole bill was paid, even though they had not called me with an estimate like instructed, and did a lot of stuff to it I didn’t even ask for or approve! It took WEEKS to get it out! How DARE they do things like this to customers who bring their cars in, TRUSTING them to keep their word and be honest and professional! They are CROOKED, GREEDY THIEVES!!! I didn’t ask for ANY of that, I just asked for an estimate on the alternator!!!
My 2^nd experience — –I had my son with me, and I had to go to the courthouse to pay tax/​license on my car. There was no parking, as usual, anywhere near the courthouse, every space was taken, even in parking lots, or they were for officials or handicapped or for judges and «official vehicles.» After about 30 minutes of searching, I parked, in desperation, behind M&M Jewelers, only aiming to be gone a very few minutes. There was a line at the courthouse, so it took a bit longer than that. When my son and I got back to the lot, my car had already been towed! To thieving McCarty’s, of all places! We took a cab there, and I was $ 4 short of what the cost was to get my car out, and they refused to let me have the car so I could go to the bank and get the other $ 4! Just plain hateful ASSHOLES!!! I was upset and crying and they just kept chuckling and smurking, of course, just so there’d be NO doubt what immature, mean, spiteful, unreasonable scum they really are! So my young son and I had to walk way down the street IN THE POURING RAIN to a pay-​phone to call my husband at work, who sent his brother, who had to pick us up and take us all the way home to Thruston.
Recently, I saw they were the only ones listed as doing the towing and repair for AAA in this area, and even though I need to join because my car is 10 years old, I WILL NOT JOIN BECAUSE OF McCARTY’S! AND I WILL WRITE AAA AND TELL THEM EXACTLY WHY, AND ALL ABOUT McCARTY’S UNSCRUPULOUS METHODS IN DETAIL!
SO HELP ME GOD, McCARTY’S WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER DIME OF MY MONEY… I HAVE AND WILL BAD-​MOUTH THEM TO EVERYONE I KNOW WHO MENTIONS ANYTHING ABOUT CAR REPAIR OR MECHANICS! MAY THEIR KARMA COME BACK ON THEM 100-​FOLD!!! I HOPE THE HATEFUL CROOKS GO BANKRUPT!
STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE! They are dishonest and will take you for all they can get, then keep your vehicle until you pay it! They should be in jail!
GO TO HELL, McCARTY’S!
Everyone else have a nice day. :-) Whew! I feel better now!

Recently have had our car towed, very quick and very professional. So glad they are the local AAA contractor. I know that if I need assistance I will get someone very nice and very helpful, quickly. Thank you!

Local AAA contractor. My wife left her lights on and needed a jump. Arrived quickly and the driver was very professional.
