Your Vehicle’s Impounded With Us — Now What?
Okay, we understand that we may come across as the villains here, but we really have no control over the policies set for each impoundment case. Your car is just hanging out with us – we don’t want to keep it any longer than necessary.
Remember to become familiar with your case. Why was your vehicle impounded? Each penalty has a different time frame. Once you know how long we need to keep your car for, you have to follow certain steps before you can reclaim your vehicle.
Go here to learn all about the reclaiming process (and more information about the different impoundment penalties).
4 Penticton Towing Benefits
1. 360-Degree Check — before any vehicle or machine is taken away, we do a thorough walk around and take multiple photos. Why? To make sure any existing damage is recorded – so if anything happens after we tow, we know what we’re responsible for!
2. Heavy-Duty Towing — have a machine that needs to be moved from one construction site to another? We can tow 40ft empty sea cans, or up 50,000 lbs, without issue.
