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.

The driver was very helpful, friendly and professional. Thank you!

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!

Craig was literally great. Called and was quoted a time of 30 minutes. Turns around and in no time he was there in a wink. He was very friendly and just went above and beyond. I’m not a Savannah native but if it happens again I know who to definitely call.

These are the guys you want towing your vehicle or equipment. Helpful, courteous, showed up when they said they would- Thats all I can ask for. I think it was Jim and Ryan that helped me out moving a big CNC machine - had the materials to assist - carefully loaded it and dropped it where I needed it - I called Rahns, Sapps, Everready and 2 other companies that either no showed, couldn't do it or didn't respond at all - I called them at 5pm on a Wednesday and they showed up just before 8 - just like they said they would. I cannot recommend these guys enough.
