Outside of companies that are exclusively roadside assistance, there is no such thing as an ethical towing company. They’re all scum and opportunists.

Was going to say this same thing. Unless they’re only doing roadside/called in work, they’re predatory.
My dad has a tow company and refuses to get into complexes and fixed property towing for this very reason.

I'm splitting hairs here, but there are auto body shops with tow trucks that don't exclusively do roadside assistance and that aren't necessarily unethical.
But yeah, I worked in emergency road service for a very well-known insurer, and even the emergency road service providers are usually unethical assholes. Most were assholes on the phone, would nickel and dime everyone they could for anything they could (and some things they couldn't), wouldn't stick to their ETAs, would drop cars in wrong places, etc.
I still would trust those emergency road service companies over predatory towing companies like Siebert's Towing, or like whatever company it is that OP mentioned.

You ain’t ever needed someone towed off of your property or out of your driveway have you?

And that’s a service that could be deployed without corruption and graft, but here we are. To answer your question, yes I have needed to call a tow for that purpose.
