Yes, I can see where the yelling can be disconcerting.  The other thing 
I don't like about wreckers is they don't give a rat's arse about 
customer service, because they think they have a monopoly.  Which is not 
far from the truth, especially for the outfit you were dealing with.

Yes, I don't go to the wreckers because the wrecks have tended to come 
to me over the years.  But there are times when you need something and 
can't wait for it to come along.  And you'll note that I didn't deal 
with this particular outfit other than to provide the credit card 
number, someone else was kind enough to do the deal and even pick it up 
for me... :)

Of course Bubba also probably uses a forklift to move the cars from 
point A to point B, and a torch to cut out the gas tanks...
