17 more abandoned vehicles. 17 times we responded to an emergency towing request and have not been paid.

💥How Unpaid Towing Invoices Drive Up Rates

Running a towing company means balancing two very different sides of the business: providing emergency service 24/7 and keeping the office running during normal business hours. But there’s another challenge most customers never see — unpaid towing invoices.

💥The Hidden Cost of Unpaid Bills💥

When a towing company provides service, we’ve already put money into fuel, equipment, insurance, payroll, and maintenance. Every unpaid invoice leaves a gap that has to be filled. Unlike large corporations, small and mid-sized towing companies can’t simply absorb those losses.

When insurance companies, businesses, or individuals delay or refuse payment, the cost of operating doesn’t stop. Unfortunately, that means unpaid invoices today turn into higher towing rates tomorrow.

We often hear responses like, you’re getting to salvage the vehicles and making money there.
These vehicles are junk, worth $300.00 the majority of the time.
Now consider paperwork, photographs, certified letters, 30,60,90 days or even more of taking up valuable space in our storage facilities.
Often the clean up and fluid containment materials we use exceed what we receive in scrap value.

Unpaid invoices are becoming a very serious concern within our industry. Unfortunately there are no consequences as most people do not receive a citation for abandonment.

Can we take them to small claims court, yes we can.
Additional time, court fees, attorney fees and negativity from the customers friends and family as now we have made them a victim.
If we receive a judgement in our favor, it’s nearly impossible to collect on most of those judgments.

We are not complaining, we’re just attempting to shed some light on the everyday challenges that towing companies encounter.

We are designing signage for the entrance of our newest client's parking lot in downtown Iowa City. This densely populated area presents significant parking challenges due to limited on-street metered parking, fire lanes, and pedestrian areas. Many businesses in the area have no available parking for customers.

Our client's customer parking is frequently occupied by non-patrons, resulting in lost business. Despite approximately 30 "No Parking" signs, drivers continue to park illegally, even next to vehicles actively being towed.

We would like to take this time to kindly remind or educate those uninformed to park only in metered spaces, paid parking areas, parking ramps, or designated parking for the business you are visiting.

Vehicles parked on private property without authorization will be towed. Property owners, managers, and lessees are not required to provide warnings, wait time or signage, before towing unauthorized vehicles. Please remember that there is no free parking! Private property encompasses more than just residential or individually owned locations; all property not under local, municipal, state, or federal government control is considered private.
