It is recommended that customers call the towing company directly to determine the exact location of the vehicle, as there are multiple lots where vehicles may be stored. Vehicles are towed if parked illegally (such as if they park in front of a hydrant or a restricted area). Vehicles can be towed if they owe $150 or more in citations for a period of at least 30 days.
