But that's for much later.
As soon as he said that it was a TJ, that answered the question for me. They are designed to LOOK like an off-road vehicle not actually ACT like one.

The $50/day storage sounds pretty standard, everywhere I have seen is right around that much. It sounds pretty shady that he kept stalling you to rack up the storage charges though. Off-road towing is substantially more than normal towing but $450 seems a little high. I do a lot of off-roading (in my YJ) and I have seen some people get pretty high towing bills for being in the middle of nowhere but if it was only 5 miles away it shouldn't have been that much. I suggest taking a camera with you when you go to the garage. Frequently the towing and storage rates are posted on signs within the office so if you are being charged more than prices posted on the signs you can snap some pics as evidence to report to the BBB and/or police.
