01Confirm the job-specific amount
Towing starts at $125; mileage and other disclosed charges may apply. Ask which known work is included, what remains conditional, and how distance, vehicle condition, access, loading, recovery, equipment, labor, waiting, tolls, storage, destination, tax, or another disclosed item may affect the total. The unresolved mileage formula is not supplied by the website.
02Authorize material changes
If the real vehicle or scene differs from the request, dispatch should explain the material change, proposed response, price effect, and required authorization before additional nonemergency work when reasonably possible. Emergency scene control or work already reasonably performed can require a separate factual review.
03Verify the payee and channel
Before paying, confirm the legal or authorized collecting party, job or invoice reference, amount, accepted method, destination of funds, and contact information through live dispatch. Do not rely on an unexpected payment link, changed bank instruction, QR code, gift-card request, cryptocurrency demand, or message from an unverified number or account.
04Protect financial information
Do not place a full payment-card number, expiration date, security code, bank-account number, online-banking credential, password, authentication code, Social Security number, or government-ID image in the website form, ordinary email, or text. A legitimate payment step should use a verified appropriate channel and collect only what is needed.
05Obtain and review the record
Request an estimate, authorization, invoice, receipt, or account record appropriate to the transaction. Review the provider, date, vehicle, pickup, destination, work, quantity, mileage or time when relevant, disclosed charges, payments, balance, and contact path. Report a suspected duplicate, unauthorized, incorrect, or missing payment promptly.
06Refund and dispute review
A refund is not automatic or guaranteed. Tommy's should review the request, authorization, dispatch, scene, estimate, changed conditions, work, invoice, payment, cancellation, communications, photographs, and stated resolution. The result may be a correction, explanation, partial or full refund, credit, denial, or another appropriate action depending on the facts and applicable rights.
