Coleman’s Wrecker Service

I broke down on I 10. They towed me to their shop which was in the middle of now where. Was going to take over night to replace my radiator so they brought me to a hotel that was surprisingly better on the inside than the outside. Lots of night life walking the street. Charged me $ 4700 to replace a radiator and repair the fan. Well I am now sitting in a shop 3 weeks later fixing the work they did. Another night in a hotel due the fact that Colman had their paint and body man working on my engine. Will never use Coleman again.

NO STARS. Just saw a Coleman Truck driving the wrong way up Robert Street and cream someone’s Prius with New Jersey plates. We got the tag # since he did not leave a note. He wanted to argue with me about why it was ok because «he works for the city». Not impressed.

There was a car leaking gasoline in front of my house. The car owner called Coleman Wrecker to retrieve this car. The driver towed the car, but he kicked the gas covered rags to the curb in front of my house rather than treating the spill he was paid to clean up. This is shear laziness. The New Orleans Fire Department had to be called to clean up the spill. This company profits while our tax dollars go to doing their job for them.

The worst towing company EVER! My car was sideswiped in front of my house (hit-​n-​run) and my insurance advised me to have the police call a tow company because it would be quicker. Per my insurance company I could have my car towed to the collision center of my choice and they would take care of paying for it. Coleman’s came and told me that they HAD to tow it to their yard first and that I would have to get another tow to a collision center or else pay for it out of my pocket. I tried to cancel the tow and Coleman’s nor the lovely NOPD would let me cancel because according to the cop «if you have a cop call for a tow you cannot cancel it». When I asked to call my insurance company before they took my car the tow guy just started pulling my car onto the truck. I have a Volvo C70 that is low to the ground and he continuously scraped the bottom of my car with no regard for the extra damage he was causing to my vehicle. The cop just stood there as I yelled at him and said «there ain’t nothin I can dos». Then I tried to have another tow company pick my car up from Coleman’s yard and had to jump through hoops to have my car released. This place is the most ghetto business in New Orleans. I would NOT EVER use them again. I will also never allow NOPD to call a tow for me. Thanks, I’ll wait the extra ten minutes.
