Tremont Towing

One star just because when I called the guy said it would be 100 dollars cash just to go grom 10^th and west to 18^th and alton.

I called to see if they still do the show and the girl picked up and said «we never had a show and I’m reporting your phone number to the police lol like bishhhhh it’s NOT THAT SERIOUS I just wanted to let you know THE SHOW IS HORRIBLE AND FAKE! But I mean I guess…

If I could only give them a negative star.
They towed my car illegally. When my wife and I arrived to pick up my car, we showed them the parking meter receipt, but they still wouldn’t release my car unless I paid $ 267.
We are obtaining an attorney and giving these bastards as much grief and headache as they gave us on our honeymoon in South Beach.
Not good PR for South Beach. These guys should be shut down period!

Expiring time is 4:41 PM and towed our car at 4:43. Just come later to pay more for longer parking, called the police and the cop just said it is private property he can not help us. Dangerous place and make people unhappy. The parking lot is around 13^th street. The towing company disgraced south beach and Miami. Never ever go there again!

Do not park at 1248 Washington Ave!!! It is $ 315 to collect your car and they tow your car after 1 min late!

Right away want to mention lots of banks around the corners where you can withdrawal cash with no fees, their ATM charge $ 6 per each $ 100 so when you already pay $ 300 — walking.
Had my car towed lots of times, but this one was the worst and very unpleasant.
Beware. Always check your car after they tow it, for some reason 2 of my friends got their cars scratched soo badly that the repair costed more than their $ 281 fee.
Same happened to me, I got towed in the place where it doesn’t have any signs of illegal parking, but lets continue to the biggest point… When I came — they said to show my id which is in the car and when I came inside their lot, knowing my car signs of use I got shocked from the front scratch on the bumper which was totally fresh made, it costed me a lot.
Of course you can’t prove now anything like in my country, I don’t feel like I am in USA no more with such a rude and irresponsible people who cares just about money and don’t care if they damaged your car. They should of at least compensate half, but it won’t work due they don’t care.

Worst of the worst, just stealing from unsuspecting tourists. 217 $ and have these runners making them money calling your car
Will be out of buisness soon once politician i know shuts em down ! Employee there qoute” Dirty buisness” he said to me then tried to say i threatened lol
U idiots i must say, you are the reason why south beach is turned into a crusty sink hole, nothing but trash down there especially this co.
Tv show sux 2!

Tremont Towing erroneously towed our car. We paid for parking, placed the paid receipt on the dashboard (Ceviche 105 area) and retuned to a near empty parking lot. We called Tremont Towing, the agent confirmed we still had time left (per the parking receipt which was on the dashboard) and said we could come pick up the car. No apology, no excuse, unbelievable!
While we are happy the car was not stolen this is not acceptable. Unprofessional and disgusting. Please watch your cars. It’s ridiculous that you pay for parking and still get towed.

Illegal towing scam company. Everything about this place is shady. They intentionally tow legally parked cars. They intentionally create diversions to have cars parked, and then tow the cars away.

This post is NOT directly to Tremont Towing Company! It’s directly to the scammer of the parking lot!!! PARKING LOT SCAM! WATCH OUT! the Parking lot owned by guy which I won’t mention his name here to avoid him from getting KILLED, has placed a METER that looks just like the CITY OF MIAMI BEACH — but with some content written in RED — probably because he wants it to get BLOODY! This is a total SCAM! If you are one of the UNLUCKY ones like me who parked in a spot where all you SAW that stated was: PAY METER AND DISPLAY AT DASHBOARD — so after paying, displaying the receipt and coming back in less than ONE HOUR — Tremont Towing simply took our car because they claimed I paid the wrong METER! WHAT THE FU… — wouldn’t you just feel like killing someone after you do everything right and you realize the scam you have fell into??? Specially when there is a line of Tow trucks waiting for next IDIOT! This needs to STOP! If this owner of the lot wants to make money, give someone a JOB to collect from every car legally parked and stop «faking» a meter where instead of $ 1.75, they charge $ 15 for an hour! I wouldn’t mind paying $ 15 to that guy working his ass off but I would know at least the business was being run in good faith! This is SAD! And it will NOT last!!!

Let it be known: this company is a scam. My car was towed after parking at the Bank of America lot on 930 Washington Avenue on a Sunday evening. They have 2 colleagues who «assist you» in paying the meter. I arrived less than 5 mins after my meter was up to find not only my car gone, but all other cars were gone as well. The fee to get it back is $ 281 (and no explanation of the break down of fee) and cash only. It was very clear that they work in tangent with the guys at the bank to have ANY vehicle towed.

Metered expired for no more than 5 minutes at the private lot located off of Washington and 13^th… I knew I was cutting it close but didn’t think I was going to come back to my car up on the tow rack. I asked the driver my options and he said bluntly pay $ 140 in cash now or $ 240 in cash after it gets towed… I just happen to have $ 150 in my wallet but it was byway of three $ 50s. Driver responded by saying he didn’t have any change… of course not. The towing company got $ 140 and the driver got $ 10 all for a five minute expired metered. I get the situation; my fault for running over and driver just doing his job, but not getting change back or a receipt seems overboard.

I paid the meter at this rip-​off parking lot «1248 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL» I ran a little over my limit and they towed my car for $ 241…I find this amount absolutely ridiculous. How does this company or any other company get allowed to charge someone so much? Is there no regulation on Miami Beach?
Even though I went over my time limit the most common thing is to receive a ticket, but the asshole guy who was managing this parking lot decided to tow everyone — whether you paid or not. I should just have not paid the meter and it would have reduced my cost.
On a more serious note though, how is it okay to ticket in some lots and then get towed in others? I lived in Miami Beach for more than 5 years and this has never happened to me… someone needs to regulate the fees they charge — ESPECIALLY since its CASH ONLY (I wonder why…)
I also spoke to other people on the way to this office and they say this happens way to often and no one does anything about it (people get towed even from their residences). They even said that if cars aren’t picked up they auction it off… luckily I had the money but what if I didn’t??? This should be illegal, I understand the need for towing but the cost is outrageous.
And I suggest no one parking in lot «1248 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL» they will tow you no matter what…

I parked my car at Bank of America to use the ²⁴⁄₇ ATM machine. I had to use the bathroom really bad so i went to the CVS across the street at 10 PM, later i withdraw my money from the ATM. After i came back i saw them towing my car right in front of me. I almost had a heart attack and seizure. I tapped on the tow truck window because his window was pulled all the way up. He stepped out of the car and wanted to fight me. YES, a young 25 year old female. I got on my knees and begg him to not tow my car. I told him i went to withdraw my money from the bank then he said, «I saw you at CVS.» He’s a vulture stalking me at every minute to get a chance to steal my car. I told him, «I went to withdraw money at the atm» he asked for my bank note, I told him i didn’t print the receipt. He then made me count how much money i had in my hand. After verifying the amount of money, he put down my car without any fines :)
I’m just that good at negotiating. HOWEVER, I was still traumatized by this ordeal. I went to the bank manager in the morning. He said, he had his car towed too. Now for some of you who thought i was illegally park at my own bank, what do you have to say when the bank manager got his car towed too? NOT only did they towed it, but lost it too.
He called them right up after i told him about the incident and he yelled over the phone saying, «You’re all suspended from the premises!!!»
Some useful tips for people:
— A friend of mine said, its illegal for them to tow your car if you’re in it. So, when you see them tow your car in front of you, get inside the vehicle fast. And hassle them til they put down your vehicle.
— You can negotiate for them to put down your car. small fee which runs up to $ 40 – 60 depends on which tow truck guy you get. However, if the he ask you for more then that, he’s lining his own pockets.
— Once your car has been in their possession make sure you get it ASAP because each day it’s sitting in the lot is another $ 36 dollars to rent the space. So $ 36 for each day and if you DO Not pay it after a couple of days probably 4+ days it goes to another lot. They will get you running to different places. If you don’t pay up for more then a month, they’ll auction it off.

I wasn’t towed. What I DID experience is a jerk in a tow truck. He was tailgating the poor car in front of him, swerving all over his lane and into my lane, and when we had to stop at a red light, the SECOND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN he started laying on his horn for people to go. There wasn’t even any reaction time for the poor person in the front to go. AND EVEN IF THEY HAD TIME… there was a car still turning so he COULDN’T GO ANYWHERE. I know one thing… I wouldn’t want MY car on the back of their vehicle if that’s how they drive. If I need a tow truck, I’ll find another company. It sounds to me like this «South Beach towing show» has gone to their simple heads and they think they’re some kind of celebrities or something. Maybe to the simple minds that actually WATCH stupid reality shows, but to normal people? They’re jerks.

When you think of the bottom-​dwelling scum of the earth, you probably think of politicians, corrupt cops, ambulance chasing attorneys, and somewhere in there, in case you haven’t already included them, should be tow truck operators, and more specifically, one receiving kickbacks from the city, like Tremont Towing. Suddenly, the Miami corruption cycle comes full circle. Don’t believe me? Read this article about these pigs:
These guys towed my car, a week before Christmas, for no reason other than to be jerks. I had paid for parking in the lot of the Shoppes at West Avenue, which houses a Starbucks. I was visiting someone, who lives in the condo building across, and was told that was where visitors were to park, as there is no garage attached to the condo building. It was late at night and I paid as much money on the meter as it would allow. The garage had plenty of empty spaces, so although the machine would not accept more money, considering it is a public city-​owned garage, and not someone’s reserved spot, I did not think towing would ever be an issue, there were plenty of empty spots and to reiterate, the machine would not accept more money, so what was I to do?
Lucky me though, a few minutes after the ticket expired, I went to my car and of course, my car was gone. I rubbed my eyes, checked once, twice, and yes, that was the spot where my car was parked, and now, it was empty. Literally, within 10 minutes of the ticket expiring. I was going to try to put in more money into the meter to see if it would allow me to do so this time, but I never got the chance. More than 80% of the lot was empty, and at that time, no business in the area was open, so really, what need was there to do this? None. It’s all a corrupt money-​making scheme. I have never been towed. I once got a parking ticket and expected that if anything, I would get one this time and I had no issue paying the $ 20 for a parking violation and arguing about the machine’s issues, but instead, I was slapped with a $ 280 retrieval fee from this company, ruining my holiday gift-​giving. They would not listen about the machine experiencing technical difficulties and I had to inconvenience someone in the wee hours of the morning to take me to their yard. To make matters worse, my car’s door handle was scratched.
It is incredibly sad to see that there is no solution to avoiding these thieves, and if I could, I’d give them 0 stars. My mother told me to report them to the police, but considering the whole City of Miami Beach is a corrupt mess, as is the whole county (and the rest of South Florida, for that matter), I know I won’t get anywhere. The crooks are all in bed together. So yes, thanks for ruining my holidays, Tremont. If you would at least use the money you stole from me and others to donate to charity or another worthy cause for the holidays, then perhaps I would shrug it off, but no, instead, it is used to further line your unethical pockets.
As to the clueless jerks giving this place a good review because of some TV show that makes its money off of ruining people’s days and charging an arm and a leg (other tow companies charge half or less than half of what they charge here), you either (a) have yet to experience ending up in the hands of these jerks, (b) you work for them/​have an interest in the company, or © you just enjoy seeing other people miserable. Whichever option it is, you’re just as bad and pathetic as these criminals, but hey, karma… what goes around comes around, so good luck Tremont, you’ve got lots of bad karma coming your way.

These people are common criminals with a license to tow. They randomly drive through Miami Beach lot after lot, inaccurately towing cars without verifying with store owners if these car belong to customers. I was a victim last night while I studied and snacked at my local McDonalds. I came out to see my car was missing… confused, shocked! I called Beach a.k.a Tremont Towing in Miami Beach and explained that I was in the store when they inaccurately towed my car. The rude guy on the phone said «I don’t care, you need to bring your license and $ 280». So I put the Manager, Alejandro, on the phone who continued to explain that I was there and that I had receipt to prove it. Still nothing, the guy demanded money and hung up.
So at this point, I figured let me go over there, I’m sure when they see my receipt and talk to the manager again, and review the restaurant camera they will return my car. Not the case, they said I don’t care about your receipt you need to pay.
I called the police and almost immediately two patrol arrived. I was told there nothing they could do because they company held a license to tow. What they did recommend is that I take my proof and put a civil lawsuit on them. They explained that this happened on a daily basis and they were helpless to control these thugs.
Absolute shocker, I never imagined that the law of a country that I love would allow unlawful behavior and bullying of their people. What I found in my research was that the city receives a significant amount of money from each and every tow… disgusting. They even refused to give me the name of the driver so that I could properly start my case… unbelievable…very shady and very sad.

This place is an f’in joke. uncooperative and they try to keep your car longer so they can make that flow!

I seriously wish the system allows me put zero star for this asshole towing company.
Had a parking permit, parked at specified zone, got towed. «You don’t have a permit. You had one on the mirror? OK I see, then you parked at tow-​away zone.» In the end they came up with the reason that we parked too close to the fire hydrant. WTF we parked right below the label «Residential or permit only». The fire hydrant is at least 10 meters away!
Definitely the biggest asshole in town. Well done motherfuckers.

This is the South Beach Towing Show company. If your car gets towed on South Beach, chances it will be towed to their lot. It is located a good distance beach, a few block North of Lincoln Road, on the West side of Alton Road. It’s a long walk, from most parts of South Beach, so you’ll probably have to take a cab or get a ride from a friend. If Tremont Towing doesn’t have your car, try Beach Towing (305) 534‑2128. It’s located on Dade Blvd, a few blocks from Tremont Towing.
If you need to find a bank ATM, there are Bank of Americas on both Alton and Lincoln Road and a Wachovia on Lincoln Road and Alton.
