How Do I Retrieve Vehicle?
What should I do if my vehicle was towed because it was repossessed?
If your vehicle has been towed due to a bank, car dealership or finance company repossession please contact your lender. We are not able to release recovered vehicles without a hold removal from our client.
Personal items left in recovered vehicle: You may retrieve personal items (items not attached to the vehicle) by coming to our lot at 21425 Aurora Road, Warrensville Heights, OH 44146. While we are a 24 hour tow service, we only accommodate public visits between the hours of 9:00am and 8:00pm Monday through Friday. In order to pick up personal items you must provide a government issued photo identification and proof of vehicle ownership (title, memorandum of title or registration).
What should I do if my car was towed by order of a law enforcement agency?
If your vehicle was towed due to a traffic accident or other non-citeable event you may retrieve it from our lot at 21425 Aurora Road Warrensville Heights, OH 44146. All tow and storage fees need to be paid upon pickup, in person, at our office. You must provide a government issued photo identification and proof of vehicle ownership (title, memorandum of title or registration).
If your vehicle was towed due to an arrest or any type of citable offense you must visit the police department involved and obtain a written vehicle release. We cannot and will not release any vehicle ordered towed by police without paperwork from the police department releasing the vehicle. You must also provide a government issued photo identification and proof of vehicle ownership (title, memorandum of title or registration).
Personal items in vehicle towed by police order: Upon presentation of proof of ownership (title, memorandum of title or registration) the owner of a motor vehicle that is ordered into storage under may retrieve any personal items from the motor vehicle without retrieving the vehicle and without paying any fee. However, the owner may not retrieve any personal item that has been determined by the sheriff or chief of police, as applicable, to be necessary to a criminal investigation. "Personal items" do not include any items that are physically attached to the motor vehicle.
Can someone else pick up my vehicle for me?
Yes, with proper documentation. If your vehicle is available for retrieval, you may assign an agent to act on your behalf. Individuals must have a signed, notarized statement from the registered owner giving authorization for release of the vehicle to the named party. Original only, no copies are accepted. Your authorized agent must also present a government issued photo identification.
