Refusal to pay for car to be fixed/ Charged towing fees

Good day

I requested to be towed after calling PMD, now I have been informed that I need to pay a fee of R7000.00 for that said towing. Since it was a private company. I have been paying insurance for 10+ years without ever putting in a claim, yet now I must pay for towing and also to have it towed back, after having it there for a month already without anyone communicating with me.

I did not request that a private company be used, hence I do not understand why I am now liable to towing fees.

Also, my car was fetched under the guise that it will be fixed, and now I am told that I must pay for it to be fixed myself since it's a mechanical fault. That my insurance does not cover it. And also fetch it from Witbank or costs will start incurring as of 10 days.

Can I be provided with clarity please. This is such awful customer care, not a way that a client should be treated.

The R5000.00 that I paid upfront, as requested by the towing company that was sent (by PMD), why was it necessary?

And what was it for then if now again I'm expected to pay the R7000.00 within 10 days?
