PRIVATE PROPERTY IMPOUNDING

We offer 24-hour impounding and storage of unauthorized vehicles from private property, such as a parking lot, ramp, or garage.

All fees for the impound are charged to the registered owner or operator of the unauthorized vehicle when they come to pick up their car.  This includes the fees for doing title searches, liens, and filing all the required legal registration of the tow with the city and the state, as well as notifying the registered owner that Maine-Ly Towing has impounded their vehicle and where and how they can retrieve it.  The manager or owner of the parking spot, who requests the tow, pays nothing.

Please note we do not impound cars from public streets or locations. 

WHO HAD MY VEHICLE IMPOUNDED?

The property owner / manager or other authorized representative such as a licensed security company.

HOW MUCH MONEY DOES THE PROPERTY OWNER / REPRESENTATIVE GET FROM MAINE-LY TOWING WHEN A VEHICLE IS TOWED FROM THEIR PROPERTY?

None whatsoever!   Their payback is being able to maintain legal control of the parking lot or driveway that is located on their private property.

WHY ARE THE FEES FOR IMPOUNDING VEHICLES SO HIGH?

The overhead  to maintain a towing company with high standards is expensive! We invest a considerable amount of  time to find, train, and  retain  the  kind of  honest  and  intelligent  people who can  contend  with  the  risks and  stresses  of  a   multi-faceted  job  while  still  providing  excellent  customer service.  Our employees must  have the aptitude to learn  how  to safely  tow  today’s complex cars while  retaining the ability to treat you - our customer -  in a  polite and   professional  manner.  Because of the personal investment spent in training time and the wide variety of demands presented by the job, our employees deserve and receive a competitive salary.

Although we feel  most  requirements are appropriate, the monetary cost of  complying as we do with  the zoning regulations, pollution control, and  licensing of  an  impound  lot  and towing company are costly.  Add to this the price of workman’s compensation and other insurance costs, building rent and maintenance, 24-hour security for our building and the cars in our custody.

If we impounded a vehicle, it was parked there without authorization.  A person authorized by the owner of the property requested that it be removed.   Towing cars parked without proper authorization is part of our job.  If we didn't tow the vehicle, another company would.  We do it fast, professionally and legally.

Our goal is to be efficient enough make all vehicle problems as small of a glitch in your day or night as possible.  If you have some constructive criticism, give us a call you will find that we are a proud neighborhood-based company that is truly appreciative of your input.  We realize that constructive communication is the key for us to continue to evolve and succeed as our company has now for over 16 years, we work hard for a living and do our best to serve the communities in which we work.  Thanks for giving us the opportunity.
