There was an amendment to the fee schedule since the older the law the more the money right? And when you have time check our facebook page (stop illegal towing). You don't have to "like" anything, just read it, how we are trying to expose their scam.
The fees are updated to:Towing rates from private parking lot
- Towing and three days of storage: $125
- Fourth day of storage and after: $15 per day
- "Drop fee" (for unhooking a car that is about to be towed): $62.50
$100 and $50 were the previous fees...
