Tow Truck Deceit

I was involved in a car accident on the freeway and my car had to be towed. The tow truck driver told me that it would cost $150 if he towed it to my house, but i would have to pay him in cash when we got there. I didnt have the money and he told me that he could take it to storage and it would still cost me $150, but i could pay with check or credit card. I signed the consent form and asked him if there would be any other fees, he said no. When i went to pick up my car an hour later, i was told it would be $371. I spent all day there trying to explain what the driver told me but they would not listen to me. I decided to pay it but they refused, because according to them they didnt release cars after six. I was told to come back on saturday with $371, and i did but was told that they didnt release cars during the weekend, but they would give it to me for $471. I've gone this storage on three different times with different tow truck driver that was charging me $45 for each different trip. I've contacted the BBB and the Attorney General, but both lead nowhere. I was wondering if there was anything else that i could do like sue them or take them to small claims court? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
