3 Steps to Take After Your Car is Towed
You stop after a long night of driving and park your big rig to grab some coffee. When you return and it’s gone you are in a complete panic.
Where is it? How can I get it back? How much is it going to cost? Your mind is racing and you’re filled with a mix of panic and confusion.
We are here to walk you through the three steps you can take after your car is towed and how you can retrieve your truck.
1. Look for a Phone Number
First, if you are illegally parked, even if you didn’t realize it, you will find the number of the place that towed your truck on a nearby sign. There should be a sign that explicitly states you can’t park somewhere, or that you can’t park there during certain hours.
Once you find the sign and phone number, you will be able to call and figure out where your car is being kept. Write down the address and head there as soon as you can.
2. Figure Out Pricing
Before you go to the tow lot, you want to make sure you know the price or what it will cost to get your car or truck back. You also should ask what type of payments they accept.
They might be cash or check only or accept limited types of credit cards. Make sure you have all the information you need before going there.
3. Go to the Tow Lot
Your last step is you need to get to the tow lot, pay to get your truck, and then you should be free to go. Some places may have a holding limit and your car or truck has to stay there for a certain amount of time.
