Family's car woes turn sour

[PeterCH]

A woman stranded in the Free State has been rescued from a run-in with mechanics by a police officer.

...

Nyati said Asterix quoted her R1 150 for the tow but charged her R1 550 and refused to provide a receipt when she paid cash. She then ended up in a dispute with the mechanics when she realised her vehicle had disappeared.

Tow-in-people = Dodgy

And can't blame the AA in this case. Glad I'm a AA member. Gives me piece of mind.
