Customer Complaint and Resolution Process

Call live Kansas City dispatch at 816-588-8888 for current availability.

Start with a safe, accurate request

A useful complaint identifies the exact job, separates facts from assumptions, preserves relevant records, and states the requested resolution. Start with Tommy's when the concern involves its communication, estimate, payment, handling, or service; use the responsible insurer, agency, property controller, or regulator when the issue belongs elsewhere.

Step-by-step

01

Address urgent safety or custody issues first

Call 911 for immediate danger, injury, threats, fire, hazardous material, or a crime in progress. Contact the controlling police agency, property representative, storage facility, insurer, or vehicle custodian when that party—not Tommy's—controls the vehicle or scene.

02

Gather the job record

Collect the service date and time, vehicle, pickup and destination, requester, dispatch number, receipt or invoice, payment proof, estimate, authorization, operator or truck information when known, photos, and relevant messages.

03

Describe the concern precisely

State what you expected, what occurred, when you noticed the problem, who was present, what was said or documented, and which amount, condition, communication, delay, or action you dispute. Avoid publishing keys, addresses, card data, signatures, or identity documents online.

04

Request a specific resolution

Explain whether you seek a corrected record, itemized explanation, document copy, charge review, insurer document, damage review, contact from management, or another concrete outcome. A request is not a promise that the result will be granted.

05

Contact Tommy's and preserve confirmation

Call 816-588-8888 or use the published contact email for a non-emergency written record. Ask for confirmation that the complaint was received and where supporting copies should be sent. Keep originals and note the date, time, and contact person.

06

Escalate through the responsible channel

If direct review does not resolve the issue, use the channel that actually has jurisdiction: the payment-card issuer, insurer or state insurance department, Kansas City tow-rights process, Missouri or Kansas consumer-protection office, law enforcement, or private counsel as appropriate.

What to prepare

Core identifiers

Your name and callback number, service date and time, vehicle, pickup, destination, requester, invoice or receipt number, and insurer, claim, fleet, facility, or police reference when relevant.

Supporting copies

Estimate, invoice, receipt, proof of payment, authorization, photos, videos, location records, call log, emails, messages, repair or inspection records, and witness contact information that directly supports the concern.

Chronology

A short timeline from request through assignment, arrival, loading, transport, delivery, payment, and discovery of the problem. Identify the source of each fact rather than guessing.

Requested result

The exact correction, explanation, document, review, reimbursement request, or contact you want, plus a safe way to reach you. Keep confidential data out of ordinary email until a secure method is agreed.

Important limits

  • Submitting a complaint does not admit fault, establish damage or causation, guarantee payment or refund, pause a legal deadline, or replace an insurance or court process.
  • Tommy's cannot reverse a police, court, insurer, property, storage-facility, card-issuer, or other third-party decision it did not control.
  • Do not send originals, full card or bank numbers, PINs, passwords, Social Security numbers, or unrelated identity records through ordinary email.
  • The external agencies listed here provide their own jurisdiction, deadlines, evidence rules, and remedies; listing them does not imply that every complaint qualifies.

Questions drivers ask

What information helps Tommy's review a complaint?

The service date, vehicle, pickup and destination, request and dispatch details, estimate, invoice or receipt, proof of payment, clear timeline, supporting photos or communications, and the specific resolution requested.

Should I post photos and documents publicly?

Avoid public posting of keys, VINs, home addresses, phone numbers, card data, signatures, insurance details, faces, license plates, or identity documents. Preserve the originals and share relevant copies through an agreed channel.

Where do I report an insurance reimbursement dispute?

Start with the insurer's review or appeal process and request the reason in writing. If unresolved, the NAIC can direct you to the appropriate state insurance department.

Can I file a state consumer complaint?

Missouri and Kansas both publish consumer-complaint processes. Review the agency's jurisdiction, provide copies rather than originals, and preserve any private legal deadline independently.

Safety first.

If anyone is injured, in immediate danger, facing a fire or hazardous spill, or blocking an active traffic lane, call 911 first. Move only when you can do so without entering traffic or increasing the danger.
