Impound Info
Providing towing and storage services for law enforcement and property owners for over forty years is our primary function. Vehicles may be towed and stored for a myriad of reasons but usually deal with a violation of a California Vehicle Code Section. We do not make the decision regarding the impounding of any vehicle. That is the duty and responsibility of the police officer or property owner. We simply provide the service at their request. If you feel that your vehicle was towed without “probable cause”, you may request a Post Impoundment Hearing from the impounding agency.
We release impounded vehicles 24 hours a day. Vehicles may be inspected and unattached personal property removed between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M Mon – Fri. Acceptable forms of payment include, cash, Visa, MasterCard or Debit Card. Vehicles or property that is released outside of normal business hours will be charged an additional fee..
We will need the following information in order to release your vehicle:
Police Dept. Release (if required)
License or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Governmental issued photo identification such as a Drivers License or Identification Card
Proof of ownership such as current registration, Pink Slip or rental agreement.
Most vehicles that are towed require a written release from the appropriate public agency. Please contact the correct department below for information.
