Detroit ‌Towing Company Accused of Predatory Practices

DETROIT, MI – A Detroit towing company, allegedly‍ operated by Mike Goch, is ‌facing accusations from former competitors ⁤of illegally soliciting tows from‌ accident scenes. The allegations, brought to light by WXYZ’s Ross Jones, center around ‍claims that the company actively sought‌ out business at crashes before being‍ officially dispatched by authorities.

The accusations raise concerns about potential exploitation of drivers during vulnerable moments and the fairness of the local towing⁢ industry.⁤ If substantiated, the practices could violate city ordinances and potentially state law, impacting both ⁢accident victims and legitimate ⁤towing services. An​ investigation is ongoing, with ‌authorities attempting‌ to verify whether Goch received a citation ⁤for the alleged behavior.

According⁣ to a Detroit Police Department spokesperson, a ticket was sent to Goch via ​certified mail, but a search ⁢of 36th district Court records did not reveal an active case under his name.

“The only‌ person or people telling you this are disgruntled employees who work for our competitors,” ⁣Goch stated when confronted with the allegations by WXYZ.

Though, Jones countered, “That’s not true. The companies aren’t disgruntled former employees, they had their vehicle in ‍an accident.The police aren’t⁢ disgruntled⁣ former employees, ‌they’re here to try to enforce the law.they’re‍ saying you’re soliciting tows.”

Goch vehemently denied the claims, repeatedly stating, “It’s not true, we’re not soliciting tows. It’s simply not⁣ true.”

The investigation remains active. Anyone with details related to this case is encouraged ​to​ contact Ross​ Jones at ross.jones@wxyz.com ⁢or (248) 827-9466.
