Review of A.D.A (Assistance et Depannage aux Automobilistes Ltee.)

Towing 200 metres costs Rs 1000.

You'll first be told it will cost Rs 500 to tow it back to your place then the guy will change his mind and quote Rs 1000 for every 200 metres. So that's 5k to the kilometre.

From Quatre bornes, where I had a flat that could not be changed as the tool to release the spare wheel was missing, to Floreal where I'm living, that would have cost Rs75k (roughly 15km distance)

As the breakdown happened on a single carriage one way street, I had no other choice than to accept the charge to tow it out of that street so as not to block the traffic. So yes, around 200 metres towing was charged at Rs 1000.

To add insult to injury, the tow truck driver swiped a bunch of tarpaulin on the back of the bed (Isuzu Dmax) and calmly walked to his truck, while I had clear view of him
Had to point it out to him and his reaction was to grin like an absolute idiot and put it back.

So on top of quoting ridiculous rates, he's a thief as well.

Called in three different mechanics who came and none were able to release the spare wheel.
Eventually, another Isuzu Dmax passed by and I stopped the car to ask the driver if he could lend me the tool to release the spare wheel. The chap was really nice and insisted on doing it himself and changed the wheel for me.

When I got home, I noticed that the only thing the tow truck guy gave me was a vehicle reception check list. No receipt for the payment. Nice!

So guys, stay well clear of Assistance et depannage aux automobilies ltee.
