Impound Towing in Gainesville, FL

How Impound Towing Works

Impound towing happens for a few different reasons: a police-ordered removal, an expired registration, an abandoned vehicle, or a private property violation. Once a vehicle is impounded, it's held at a secure lot until the owner completes the release process. Our Gainesville team handles both sides of this, performing the tow itself and storing vehicles securely until they're claimed. Our lot is monitored and gated, so vehicles stay protected the entire time they're in our care.

We know impound situations are stressful, especially when a vehicle is needed right away. Our staff can explain what's needed to get a vehicle released as quickly as the process allows, and we'd rather walk you through it clearly than leave you guessing over the phone.

Retrieving Your Vehicle from Impound

Getting a vehicle out of impound requires the completion of a release form, a valid driver’s license at pickup, and payment before or during pickup. (We accept cash, credit, debit, EFS, and cashier’s checks. Credit/debit cards will be subject to a 3.5% fee.) Our team can confirm exactly what you'll need before you make the trip to pick up your vehicle.

We try to make this part as painless as possible. A stressful situation doesn't need to be made worse by a confusing pickup process, so we keep our impound lot organized and our release process straightforward. Our staff can also confirm current storage fees over the phone so there are no surprises when you arrive.

Police-Ordered and Commercial Impound Towing

We work with local law enforcement on police-ordered impound towing, responding to scenes and removing vehicles per department procedure. We also handle impound towing for private property owners and businesses dealing with unauthorized or abandoned vehicles on their lot.

In every case, our crews follow proper procedure and documentation so there's no confusion later about how or why a vehicle was removed. That paperwork matters just as much as the tow itself, since it's what protects both the vehicle owner and the property or agency that requested the removal.

I tell you I have never had such fast and professional services like these people are. The promise of how Miss Marci handled what I needed and how nice she was about everything is truly amazing. And the guys that came out and brought me my barge. They were top notch I mean they were on the money to the Tee, real professional, and the gentleman Mr. Fred that was running the crew. He was top notch about everything that he was doing he new his job and did a freaking A number one job.

Our 2020 Western Star 5700 decided she needed a Valentine's gift and her fuel pump imploded on 2/13 on Interstate 16. We were very happy with the service that Chris and Robert provided. Price was fair for the roadside service too. We would recommend them should you need the assistance. Also, skip being towed to the dealership. Save money (literally half of the cost) and time and have Tim's tow you straight Elite Diesel of Savannah.

We had a very positive experience with this organization in August 2014. We needed to move a large handy house (12 ft x 28 ft) two hours to our new home. We called and spoke with Chad who answered all of our questions and gave a competitive quote. Because there were concerns about whether the truck would be able to get into our driveway, Chad actually came by and walked our property letting us know the best route for the truck. They handled all of the permitting, scheduled the job quickly and met us at the moving site on time. The driver, John, was courteous and professional. He was experienced and knew what he was doing. He backed his truck through our narrow driveway and yard over 100 yards and placed it exactly where we wanted it. He delivered our little house without any damage whatsoever. His semi didn't leave any ruts or tire marks in our yard. We will use them again and feel very good about recommending this company. Great Job Tim's Towing and Recovery. Thank you!

I can't say enough about Tim's towing and recovery, if I could give more than 5 stars I would. I like in NC and my truck broke down in Bloomingdale, GA. I pulled into the very next exit at Quick Trip gas station and store. I called 2 towing companies and they could not tow ne. I had a tahoe and was pulling a trailer, well the last company referred Tim's towing and recovery. I spoke to dispatcher. She said it would be 1 &1/2 hours bf they could come. She sent invoice. I paid it. Well how about they were there in 30 minutes. Jim works in dispatch in the office. He came from out of office to come and tow us. Talk about customer service. He was knowledgeable, very professional, and very socialable.. He gave us a little history lesson on the way to Chevy dealer about the town. He showed us hotels and different food places around in case we had to stay over night. Also their prices are the same if you need them after hours as day time hours. AlI I have to say is if you need a tow definitely use Tim's towing and recovery in savanna GA. THEY ARE THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD TO USE. This is my second time having to use a tow company. I hope I never need a tow again, but if I need one in this area. This is who I'm using. Thank you Jim and Tim's towing and recovery.
