Thank you for all of the advice, even the "turn it up to 11" advice. I probably would not have escalated past contacting AMA and the tow company directly. I am well aware that I had a momentary lapse in judgment and made a dumb decision off some poor advice. I mostly just wanted some sort of improvement on the situation to feel a little less like an idiot.
One odd thing though... Another reason he mentioned going through insurance was so it doesn't use up one of your services from AMA (you get a limited amount per year). I just received an auto email from AMA asking for feedback on the roadside assistance I received. I am curious if they submitted an invoice to AMA as well and they are double-dipping. I am also curious if I have lost one of my services anyways. My AMA membership page only has history of services up to Aug 13.

Glad it all worked out for you, but I am unsatisfied with this result! The tow truck driver needs to be punished for *defrauding* you. I want him to be reprimanded and his company to have to forfeit the $1300. I demand internet justice.
Seriously, at least call AMA to let them know what happened because they and their customers are getting screwed by this guy (and potentially others).
