Default Body shop scam in Long Island NY

.For all those out there, Beware of this company.

AUTO TECH COLLISION, ROCKVILLE CENTER NY!!

This is the situation:

You're involved in an accident, a tow truck picks up your car, it looks like a nice lady just trying to help you out, but little do you know that she's basically trying to make you sign your car away to her. Months and even years later your car will still sit at her shop accumulating storage and she won't even let your insurance company in.

Check out the video, and beware of signing anything when you are involved in an accident especially if its not a shop that is reputable.

I work at a body shop so im just advicing people in case anything like this happens to you.

Hopefully no one we know has had to go through this, but just giving everyone a heads up that these people are out there.

The shop im at is on the suffolk police tow list and we do body work for dealerships here, but you're going to really start hearing shady business like this going on just because so many people on the island are going of out business..they're trying to make their money any way they can, its just a horrible story though.
