Long story short: A tow truck driver did not want to use rear hooks, and my frame ended up w damage on both sides. What are my options? The pic is from the passenger side. The driver side is the same.

 

 

Well we saw the driver strap it to the frame and saying "should be okay" despite our concerns. Anyway, $700 repair estimate.

 

Tow company should be paying for the damage

 

 

Someone did that to my 04 Grand Cherokee’s uni-body frame & it wasn’t pretty. But I didn’t notice it until I’d owned it a few weeks. I was always going to get it fixed, but never did as I was going thru a rough patch in my life & that was the least of my problems.

Gotta love tow truck drivers sometimes....

 

Not letting this one slide. Will get it fixed--my car is basically 80% restored. Two days ago it needed a paint job. Now this plus a paint job. What irks me the most is the fact that we had garage full of recovery gear, and we asked the dude if the frame was really the main point of for the connection. FYI, I have an offroad front bumper and a rear hitch with recovery points. Like seriously. That's why they are there.

Gotta say one more thing: When you screw up like that, admit it, and make it right. The dude unhooked the car, took the tip, and left w/o saying a word. Good thing today I had to grease the drive shafts.

 

The ones each side of the frame are merely tie down restraint hooks they supplement the tow hooks for chassis restraint purposes ONLY and not tow hooks, the tow hooks are at the front and rear of the truck, claim off the tow truck company for ignorance/negligence/stupidity.
