So I got towed by Lincoln Towing last night. Fine, I'll pay the $170.
When I start and inspect the car while still in the lot, I immediately notice the exhaust sounds like a 1989 toyota corolla with a loose header...just a lot of exhaust noise from from the under engine area (2005 Nissan Murano...wife's car). The Check Engine Light is also now on. It sounds like shyt...very different than it ever has. I'm thinking they either punctured some part of the exhaust system (near the front) or put so much lifting pressure on it that the header connection was damaged.
My wife had the car fully serviced by the dealership (long story) she bought it from about 2 weeks ago at ~45,000 miles and the car was perfect mechanically. I was parked in a fashion that would require them to fist drag the front of the car out from the side and THEN pick up the front of the car to move it (curbing etc.). The tow driver I was arguing with in the rain confirmed this.
There are also some gouges to the lower front side of the bumper that I believe are new but who knows...can't do much about that anyway. Before leaving I discussed filing a claim and recieved all the paper work to do so.
Thoughts on what was damaged (I'll crawl under their later tonight when I have the chance)?
Experience with filing tow company claims????
When they deny the claim, I should be able to go to small claims court or something along those lines, right?
Thanks
