Frequently Questions about Impounded Vehicles

Yes. Fees are assessed daily. To minimize your costs, please arrange to pick your vehicle up as soon as possible.

Option 1: You can do nothing and leave your vehicle. We will attempt to sell it and recover the towing and storage fees. If the vehicle does not sell, or the sale price does not cover the fees, we will begin collection proceedings to recover the remaining balance.

 

Option 2: We understand that sometimes people are in a difficult situation and may not have the means to be able to claim their vehicle. In this situation, we offer an “amnesty” for the vehicle. You pay us for the tow charge and some of the storage, as well as signing the transfer papers. (This covers our costs and allows us to dispose of the vehicle). Then we keep the vehicle and do not proceed with the collection process. For anyone interested in protecting his or her credit, we strongly suggest this option.

If you are not the registered owner, you must have the registered owner come into our office with you.
