Default Storage Problems?

Hello,

I've had my vehicle stored now for a good month. Unfortunately, I didn't pay the initial cost of tow, and had the storage fee calculated over the duration it's been stored.

After calling in to pay for the fees and have it re-towed, the person over the phone informed me it would be $450.00 for the tow and $40.00 a day storage.

However, on the day of, I was quoted $50.00 for the tow and $25.00 a day storage. I mentioned I was told $25.00 a day for storage and he quickly made the adjustment after speaking to his Manager.

Afterwards, he mentioned the initial tow would be $450.00, and an additional tow would be another $450.00.. I pleaded with him about the initial quote of $50.00, I even have a charge attempt e-mailed to myself FROM that towing company for $50.00 that never went through, so the person working told me he'll write it down, calculate it, and I can pay later on.

How would you handle/deal with this? I'm planning on going there later on today or tonight, but it's been several days and they won't budge.. myself having a notification of the charge attempt for the tow of $50.00 is more than sufficient evidence, and I'd like to NOT introduce a lawyer, but if that's the case I definitely will.

Original quotes:
$50 for the tow
$25/day storage

Re-quoted:
$450 for the tow
$40/day storage

Seems like they're trying to make extra bucks.
