Bad AMA experience :(

So this happened last weekend and I thought I would share.

Thursday 12pm, leaving Leduc and one of my leaf spring busts in half. I’m thinking its not a good idea to drive it so no biggy, ill just get it towed to my parents in St.A and fix it over the long weekend. I would have used my AMA but its just basic so I call my dad who has the premium card (160km tow I believe) He is on his way back from Calgary but only has time to pick me up so we agree to get the truck towed first thing friday…bad choice.

20+ cars in the ditch friday morning from the freezing rain so AMA won’t even go get it till the cars in the ditch are taken care of…

Sat morning they finally call saying they are going to get it at 10am. I’m thinking 2 hours and it will be in STA…1pm I get a call from a co worker asking if I am stranded on groat Rd because he just saw my truck on the back of a tow truck stopped on groat…Im like WTF??? So I get a ride to groat where I see a 3 car accident…no tow truck or my truck…I keep driving up groat and half way up in the center lane (same lane the accident is in) there is my truck on the back of a tow truck ABANDONED! No driver and only 3 pylons 50 feet before my truck.

I pull over and get on the phone. Call my dad who calls the driver. He says he is in a bind and will call him back in 5. Driver doesn’t call back so my dad gives me the drivers number. I examined my truck and his which he left open and on. I saw that he had lost a wheel from his dually and that the one wheel remaining was just about off.
I call him and ask him WTF! I tell him who and where I am and ask him where he is. He says he walked down flagging traffic and then came upon an accident at the start of groat where he then waited for EMS and fire which doesn’t make much sense just like it doesn’t make much sense to take groat from leduc to sta. I’m sure the 3+ people in the accident can handle themselves and why are you flagging traffic half a km from where you are stopped on groat…Im sure drivers on groat had no idea WTF he was doing. So he tells me that a flat bed and another tow truck are coming…

In the mean time I am saving pylons from getting killed. Numerous drivers took them out and almost away with them along with a hand full of near miss accidents.

So the driver finally comes in a flat bed. The flat bed must have picked him up along the way and oh fuck me is this guy a retard. He has so many excuses its sickening. Even the flat bed driver was getting pissed at him. I saw him numerous times, get on top of the median and nearly lose his balance and fall into on coming traffic.

Newayz, They finally get his truck and mine on our way and I finally get to sta at about 3:30ish. on top of that, I washed my truck and found that they scratched the shit out of my roof with those lights they put on.

I have made complaints with AMA and the contract company. We will see what happens. I brought up the safety of the whole ordeal and the communication issue. If it wasn’t for a co worker calling me…would I have ever found out or would he have just said he got a flat blablabla. I will also be showing them the damage from the lights. Ya I know it wasn’t perfect before but now it looks like ASS! I later found out that this guy was only on the job for a week. Thats a week to long in my books.

Just thought I would warn you guys. Be very very careful. His name is bruce from nisku all star towing.

The good side to the story is that $20 and 2 hours of work and she is back on her own 4 feet.

ps:I’m not sure if the guy is on here but a blue modded 350z was in the middle of the accident. give me a pm if you are on here.

You drive that in the winter???

for now

Wow, that’s fucked up. Make them fix those scratches!

Well AMA has broken my oil pan on my Renault 2 times. They have fixed them twice @ a price of $700 each. They will never learn.
