I'm so glad Jeff told those guys that if they kept on he would raise the price . I've run into similar situations and done the same thing. "If you ask me one more time for a discount I'm raising the price." Jeff and Kristen both have the patience of saints.
Yup! I'd have told them "every time you ask for a discount AND/OR Interrupt me, a $25.00 Ass Hole Tax will be applied..." So if they Interrupt me to ask for a Discount, the price just went up $50.00... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
One good thing about working on custom commissions is that the scope of the work defines the price and if I have to listen to you blather at me for an hour that's an hour of my billable time. 😅
That illegal park group is just used to verbally wearing people down until they get their way…I am glad you two stood your ground. It is heart warming to see the relationship you have developed with the Gatlinburg PD in action. 💖
I found it funny that he offered $10, then $75 at the pickup. Then gets to the lot trying to only pay $150 because he doesn’t have cash. And yet when you never gave in they miraculously had $300 cash! Kept saying they were students, if they had paid for parking, they would still have nearly $300 !!! Pay to park!!!😂
@@shawnaustin1038exactly! This is their business and the way they make their living. If you're stupid enough to park in a place that's CLEARLY NOT a parking spot/lot, then you better smarten up quick cause you'll have to pay for the consequences.
You guys are so patient. They even called the police! We were only 10 minutes, others were parked here, were students, we don’t have the money, let’s make a deal. After the first attempt to argue/bargain I’m turning my back while saying I told you how this goes. No more conversation
This was the best one of your videos ever that I have ever witnessed!! These people were desperate to make a deal!! Excellent Job Jeff and especially Kristen for keeping your foot down and defending your company’s policy!!
I’ve dealt with those who I call “Camel jockeys” who seem to think even though they’re here in Our country they can conduct business as do. Not happening. Go to their country and do as we do here and see what their answer is. 🤬😤😤😤
I'm a tow truck operator in the Jackson Mississippi area. I absolutely love your videos. I've been addicted the past few days binge watching. Its great seeing others dealing with the stuff I do daily and still being professional towards them. I stay calm and professional because it aggravates them more when they see it doesn't bug you
"But there were other cars parked here!" Not sure how that makes ANY difference to YOUR illegally parked car. I mean geez...that illogical excuse is getting mighty old...
Funny how people what a discount on everything and trying to explain to them that they were parked In front of a construction gate good job with this one Jeff should have just started adding the price up after you said you been their for 20 minutes already
They crack me da fk up when they their gonna be able to Negotiate a cheaper price ain't no way, & a construction area is a definet no no think cause their not working at the moment that's an open space ((((NOPE)))), pay to park you won't have this problem excellent job to y'all both Jeff & Kristen 🫵💯
THIS! And THEN they ask for a discount? THE AUDACITY! If you want to 'try' for a discount the way to go about it is not to tell me you called the police on my business practices.
Jeff, that lockout fiix was amazing! Y'all are THE BEST AT EVERYTHING! Kendra, sorry for the headaches from the illegal park--you are always firm and very clear in communicating. Love you guys!
Guess their parents did not teach them that they have two ears to listen and one mouth to speak. They constantly talked over you guys. Awesome job Kristen and Jeff.
no, their parents probably taught them to haggle everything. never pay full price for anything you need, even if that means arguing in circles until they get their way
I asked a friend who happens to be from India. "Why do you constantly haggle on cost ?" He said that is how it works in India 😂 Guess what we aren't in India, Geezzz ! He said he learned that real quick when he moved to U.S. 😂😂😂
A lot places in the world will still haggle pricing. The US is quite firm on price, they even tell you how much to tip them. Dynamic pricing coming to US stores is gonna rub a lot of people the wrong way.
@@DaleRojoDecaf You can still haggle in the US too. I've haggled on all kinds of things from jewelry to a grandfather clock. The difference is in India they haggle on services after they are provided, and they often barter as well. They also rapid fire nonsense in a circle trying to get a discount.
Great job guys! The BIG stiffy. 😂 Gpd guys had me rolling! I love your content and I don’t ever miss a one. Keep going. ((( Hugs))) from Kentucky and prayers to keep you guys safe out there. 🙏✌️
There is no sign on my driveway saying "no parking" and there are other cars there, too! When those type of people say there was no sign, please ask them if I come park in their driveway if it's the same for them!
I loved his comment about going to a foreign county. DUH~~~! When you go to a foreign country you abide by that countries LAWS... CASE CLOSED !! Outstanding job Kristen !
In 1976 i was stationed in Turkey they told us if you get into an accident you were 50% at fault because if you hadn't been their their wouldn't have been an accident. Even if they hit you from behind.
I actually too a class when I was a firefighter that was called Non Destructive Extraction. We called it gone in 60 Seconds. We had bags and slim jims. That was about it. And being in 93 it was kind of fun for us. We would train in junk yards. Was amazing what you could do with a coat hanger and a screwdriver. Love your channel btw. Just found it and have been binge watching. Y'all stay safe out there!
I have been binge watching you guys for a few weeks! I love watching you just let things roll off your backs. I'm a firm believer in consequences. "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time" God bless you guys!
My new favorite is, "We are just students and can't afford this. As you can see, this is a rental car"... Someone's sense of scale is REALLY insulting.
AND they're on vacation. smh. But I have a friend who legit probably couldn't afford a impound fee if the family car got impounded for not paying to park. His family saves just enough to get to and from their destination and for the hotel and that's about it. They might have enough for one or two fun things to do but that's it. I honestly don't get it. They do this twice a year for different places, I would think it'd make more sense to do one vacation a year or one every other year and be able to afford to have fun but they don't see it that way. He went to Vegas with a different group of friends and went to one show and went to the casino once and spent the rest of the week in the hotel and walking the strip.
You go girl. You were right. Completely right. They were wrong. "If you're not paying to park, You're doing something wrong." I heard that from a good guy. Thanks for the video. You guys are great.
The same people come in our store and refuse to talk to my daughter because she's just a woman, I will not speak to them when they act like that! And they will argue till the cows come home! Very arrogant! The state does not require signs because it's private property it's not for your use without permission!
They were told cash then did the “can I use a card routine.” Then had the cash on them anyway. That would’ve been a charge back for sure. Glad you stood firm as always! Especially not blocking the road any longer or stopping in the intersection when they flagged you down. Seemed like they couldn’t understand how dangerous that is.
@@clarkeysammaybe so but these are not those people from that country. These kids' families are wealthy. That's why they're going to school in America. I live in a college town in Texas and there are thousands of them. They are loaded. Trust me.
So glad to have a new video to watch today after a horrible day at work. You go Kristen… standing your ground. They should have just PAID TO PARK. That’s a nicely named lock out tool you got! Keep up the awesome work. This channel is literally all I watch at the moment. Not sure what I’ll do once I am completely caught up.
@@EverythingAutosthe Explorer, if the battery was dead, would you not be able to hook up your booster pack to the starter to have power to work the electric locks?
@@barrydano1701 That wouldn't put power in the system, it would just spin the starter if it even did that, it would likely short a fuse first. What they should have done is apply lots of duct tape to a window and make a handle to pull down on a window till it could get an arm in and unlock it.
@@jimmanis6717 chances are it would have power windows and that wouldn't work. Unless ford has changed their starters the power wire from the battery to the starter does not connect directly to the celinoid so anything that doesn't feed through the ignition would be powered, including the power locks. I could be wrong, I haven't driven tow truck in 34 years and haven't done mechanic work except on my own vehicles in 8 years.
Just a thought, but if you can go under the SUV and reach the starter, you could get the positive battery terminal then hook to ground. Then you could power the door lock with another battery.
Just started watching your videos. I am so impressed with the way you are so polite and yet firm with the people of the cars you tow. Keep up the great work.
They come from a culture where everything is negotiable and not standing your ground is a sign of weakness; but even consdiering that they took it way too far.
If a vehicle is dead and won’t open without power an option could be to get under the vehicle to connect a jump pack to the positive cable on the starter. Most vehicles will have a starter accessible from the bottom. That positive cable on the starter goes directly to the battery.
How you two keep your sanity and sense of humor is beyond me! Been watching your videos all night. You both have such soothing voices. I'll just close my eyes and listen for a while. Lol
You tell 'em, Kristen!! Takes a lot of energy to hold your ground! People like this are such pains! They have plenty of money to play and travel and eat out - they should pay for parking.
Jeff, you need to put a gated widow to open to talk to the customer. When the customer starts that mess, just shut the window and walk away. Add electric wire at top of fence
I had a police officer one time who pulled a woman over for speeding 15 mi over the speed limit. She asks, "Well, what about all these other cars? They were passing me!" The officer asked the woman, "Mam, did you ever go fishing?" She answered, "Yes." The police officer asked her another question. "Did you ever catch them all?" "I have you right now, and I'll work on the others later."
'Like, Like, Like....Pay & shut up ! Next time you'll pay to park legally. 😵💫 OMG they never ever ever stop talking. It's DONE, OVER WITH, MOVE ON....🤦 Great Idea too, keep talking and price goes up. 😂😁 I rewatched this & I just couldn't help yelling at my phone for you ...to just STOP. You all are SAINTS 😁 And when he offered you $10 I haven't cracked up laughing like that in a long time. 😁😂😁😂
It's creepy how they try to negotiate. Three teenagers from India tried to negotiate the cost of medication when I was a pharmacy tech and alone that day. They made me so uncomfortable.
At 21:40. Hey, Jeff, if you can get to the + positive terminal at the starter and -- Negative to the chassis somewhere, you could get enough "juice" into the battery to open the locks automatically because the key fob is nearby !!!!
Early on Kristen did an incredibly smart job of not fostering the continuation of the illegal parkers' arguments about whether they could park in that particular location by abruptly announcing that the drop fee would be $150. If the vehicle had not been blocking the road and if their friends had hurried up with the cash, this might have been resolved right there. Unfortunately, by the time these guys got a ride to the EA lot, they were ready to renew all of their arguments. Jeff and Kristen, you did a great job holding your own in a professional manner. About the time Jeff said if he had to keep standing there arguing the price should be going up, I had to stop the video momentarily just to let my blood pressure drop some.
Man O Man. I was reliving my young kids when they were told they couldn’t go to a party on Saturday night. They figured if they talked enough that it would wear me down. Didn’t work then and didn’t work for you guys either. Great work. Be safe. ❤❤
The lockout rod scene was hilarious! No way am I googling that because we all know Auntie Google sees all! There will be other "related adverts" appearing in my feed for years after.
Kristen is always on some boss shit💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾Jeff had me laughing when he said "see you, guys!" And started driving off😂😂love the channel, been a fan for a few months now! Keep up the great work and stay safe!
Hand them a business card with pricing when they show up: "Illegal Park Drop Fee: $150 (cash only). Illegal Park Pickup Fee: $300 (cash only). Attempted negotiating/arguing/haggling: $10/minute (cash only). Pricing/method of payment are firm and non-negotiable." Then conspicuously look down at your watch or start the timer on your phone.
So glad y'all stood your ground! Much respect! You don't tug on Superman's cape...and NEVER rattle Kristen's chain! Your business integrity is legit. Y'all ROCK! We got married across the road from the sports complex, Chapel in the Park. 'Big Stiffy' FTW! Great video, Y'all ROCK!
Yes, I love the "I'm going to call the police on you" bit..😂. Ok, so you're trying to threaten me by calling the police in a small town? The very police that I know personally because well, its a small town.... you do that slick. 😂😂😂
I only remember seeing one time when Jeff dropped a car and waived the charges. And that was when an idiot was screaming, jumping on the wrecker, laying in the road etc. The girl with the psycho was embarrassed. But, that's the only time I remember when charges were erased.
Kristen, u did an awesome job standing ur ground with those clowns 👍🏻 they had the money from the get go. Jeff, big stiffy is definitely going to be a great tool. The Gatlinburg police stayed there to assist u till u got that car unlocked, that is one awesome police 👮 department. Jeff, Kristen and Kendra have a great weekend 😊. From Kentucky.

I just realized the only difference between toddlers and illegal parkers is a drivers license 😂😂
sometimes.....sometimes they have a license
Face it boys, Kristen, is the boss. Negotiations denied! Great job on the lockout Jeff!
So proud of you Kristen and Jeff for standing your ground. It’s time and money to do your job People need to PAY TO PARK!!!
How exciting….. Kristen rocks she is like I take no prisoners. I take no bullshit
Do entitled acts. Pay entitled prices.. pay up.

I had a police officer one time who pulled a woman over for speeding 15 mi over the speed limit. She asks, "Well, what about all these other cars? They were passing me!"
The officer asked the woman, "Mam, did you ever go fishing?" She answered, "Yes." The police officer asked her another question. "Did you ever catch them all?" "I have you right now, and I'll work on the others later."
Excellent analogy. I'll have to remember that. Thanks!
My brother in law is a retired Sherriff. He used the same analogy all the time.
Kristen steps out of the truck and, seemingly from no where, a loud and blaring background song plays "Im a boss a** b***...."
👍🏻
THANK YOU for not bowing to harassment. I want to take a trip to Gatlinburg just to meet you and your families. YOU ARE WONDERFUL
I keep $150 emergency cash on me at all times now, due to your channel lol
But what if you are mugged?
@@chuckh4077 i can hide it in my car
Good practice in case you need a tow. Not all tow drivers can accept a credit card.
Its 300.00 cash!
'Like, Like, Like....Pay & shut up ! Next time you'll pay to park legally. 😵💫 OMG they never ever ever stop talking. It's DONE, OVER WITH, MOVE ON....🤦 Great Idea too, keep talking and price goes up. 😂😁 I rewatched this & I just couldn't help yelling at my phone for you ...to just STOP. You all are SAINTS 😁 And when he offered you $10 I haven't cracked up laughing like that in a long time.
😁😂😁😂
NO soup for you!!!! HAHAH!
😂
Classic!
It's creepy how they try to negotiate. Three teenagers from India tried to negotiate the cost of medication when I was a pharmacy tech and alone that day. They made me so uncomfortable.
Jeff's new nickname "The Big Stiffy"
It’s amazing how they had the money and they didn’t have to go to the bank
Kristen, when you stand your ground, watch out!!! You guys are awesome!! Love your videos! Stay safe!😊😊
You did the right thing. Nobody should get special treatment.
You both have the patience of saints!
At 21:40. Hey, Jeff, if you can get to the + positive terminal at the starter and -- Negative to the chassis somewhere, you could get enough "juice" into the battery to open the locks automatically because the key fob is nearby !!!!
Early on Kristen did an incredibly smart job of not fostering the continuation of the illegal parkers' arguments about whether they could park in that particular location by abruptly announcing that the drop fee would be $150. If the vehicle had not been blocking the road and if their friends had hurried up with the cash, this might have been resolved right there. Unfortunately, by the time these guys got a ride to the EA lot, they were ready to renew all of their arguments. Jeff and Kristen, you did a great job holding your own in a professional manner. About the time Jeff said if he had to keep standing there arguing the price should be going up, I had to stop the video momentarily just to let my blood pressure drop some.
You are very patient. 😌👍♥️. I would have never spent so much time explaining to them. They needed to learn a lesson.
Man O Man. I was reliving my young kids when they were told they couldn’t go to a party on Saturday night. They figured if they talked enough that it would wear me down. Didn’t work then and didn’t work for you guys either. Great work. Be safe. ❤❤
Someone needs to get the beginning body-cam of the police trying to get into the car 😂😂
Just pay to park, and pay the fees.
The lockout rod scene was hilarious! No way am I googling that because we all know Auntie Google sees all! There will be other "related adverts" appearing in my feed for years after.
They knew better. They cheaped out on a space and didn’t wanna pay.
yup and if they took a card for it almost certain they would have disputed it
Never thought I'd hear the words using The Big Stiffy and unlocking a car in the same sentence let alone on video. 😂
Kristen is always on some boss shit💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾Jeff had me laughing when he said "see you, guys!" And started driving off😂😂love the channel, been a fan for a few months now! Keep up the great work and stay safe!
Hand them a business card with pricing when they show up: "Illegal Park Drop Fee: $150 (cash only). Illegal Park Pickup Fee: $300 (cash only). Attempted negotiating/arguing/haggling: $10/minute (cash only). Pricing/method of payment are firm and non-negotiable." Then conspicuously look down at your watch or start the timer on your phone.
So glad y'all stood your ground! Much respect! You don't tug on Superman's cape...and NEVER rattle Kristen's chain! Your business integrity is legit. Y'all ROCK! We got married across the road from the sports complex, Chapel in the Park. 'Big Stiffy' FTW! Great video, Y'all ROCK!
Yes, I love the "I'm going to call the police on you" bit..😂. Ok, so you're trying to threaten me by calling the police in a small town? The very police that I know personally because well, its a small town.... you do that slick. 😂😂😂
Love you guys. You are fair. Kristen is a regular bulldog. Proud of you!!
I only remember seeing one time when Jeff dropped a car and waived the charges. And that was when an idiot was screaming, jumping on the wrecker, laying in the road etc. The girl with the psycho was embarrassed. But, that's the only time I remember when charges were erased.
Kristen, u did an awesome job standing ur ground with those clowns 👍🏻 they had the money from the get go. Jeff, big stiffy is definitely going to be a great tool. The Gatlinburg police stayed there to assist u till u got that car unlocked, that is one awesome police 👮 department. Jeff, Kristen and Kendra have a great weekend 😊. From Kentucky.
That lock out call was awesome! What wonderful officers too!
You should tell him to give you full payment and a funky funky rhyme. 😂
