It is often misquoted here that you can't tow an X5 with wheel lift equipment. That is just wrong, you can do so. Previous experience operating a tow truck tells me that I would not hesitate to tow my own X5 (pre x-drive) with one axle raised, within the guidelines published by the manufacturer.
Sure, tow truck drivers can screw up vehicles. But simply towing an AWD vehicle doesn't necessarily damage it, towing it incorrectly damages it.
No comment on the personal qualities of NYC employees, as I don't live there.
