Answer
If the tow company damaged your car they are responsible for the damages. The problem is proving that they damaged the vehicle while it was in their care and custody. It sounds as the situation was unprofessional handled and wasn't resolved. At this point if you or the tow company manger can't communicate in a calm, respectful and professional manner and resolve the situation then a mediator can help. Usually the mediator is lawyer, magistrate or judge. If they feel you have a strong case they by all means, proceed. Good luck.
