We recently shared a courageous story about a netizen who caught an an alleged illegal towing incident in BGC.
Read: WATCH: Netizen Shares Video of an Alleged Illegal Towing Incident in BGC
As soon as we shared it on our Facebook page, people were fast to share their sentiments and furious about the towing services in BGC. As a matter of fact, one commenter shared the same horrible scenario dated December 20, 2015.
Here’s the full caption to his post:
(PLEASE BE AWARE!)
towing company in BGC, J&B Towing Services, for towing numerous cars along 25th St without a visible “no parking” and “tow away zone” signages.
They never give grace periods to the motorists, and even if the car owner is there they will still tow their cars. They also wait for a lot of cars to park there so they could tow all at once.
One of our friends said that they only tow the cars in this said area, they dont tow the cars parked where the “no parking” sign is. This sign is actually behind a post or is not visible at all.
This white Toyota Camry, as an explicit example.
They tried to tow it even if it was on heavy hand brake. One of the guys insisted on pulling it even if it couldnt really move, and he even pushed the trunk downwards several times hoping that the hand brake will loosen. Witnesses like us showed them that we were taking their photos, so they eventually left the Toyota Camry on the street without even bringing it back to its original position.
There have been so many complaints coz they are very rude, and this is illegal. Please help these poor motorists, we all want their operations to be stopped immediately!
List of MMDA Registered Towing Services
In the recent towing incident, the video owner couldn’t identify the tow truck company as there was no name nor numbered sticker, which as per MMDA, are given to registered tow trucks ONLY.
So, I checked the list of MMDA Registered Towing services and as seen on the MMDA website, here they are:

Apparently, the towing company mentioned above isn’t included. The list was updated last June 22, 2015.
Hopefully, the MMDA will post a newer version of the list, so people are aware.
