Frequently asked
- Can I get my car back before paying?
- Many states cap storage fees and require release upon payment under protest. Send the letter immediately — fees accrue daily.
- What makes a tow illegal?
- Missing or non-conforming signage, no authorization from the property owner, towing from a spot you were permitted to use, or exceeding posted rate caps.
- Who do I send this to?
- Both the towing company and the property owner who authorized the tow — they are often jointly liable under state statute.
- Should I send this by certified mail?
- For chargebacks, refund demands, and warranty disputes, certified mail with return receipt creates a paper trail. We recommend it for anything over $100.
