I'm surprised it took this long for them to be caught. I've had several experiences with them and they are also in cahoots with apartment management on towing resident vehicles.Unfortunately due to legal loopholes they will be back in business under a different name.

The city and state knew the fees the towing service was charging because they were inspected by both city and state and the fees were posted outside their building and the state website. The only problem I have is if they were "telling people to park there or charging to park there" and then towed them. If that happened, they deserve what they get. The would have towed plenty of cars doing it the right way. I do it every night with video of every single tow to back it up. ... MORE >
• dallastowman Tuesday, Nov 4 at 5:36 PM FLAG COMMENT I am a former tow truck driver. Fortunately, I worked for a company that did it right and followed the rules. Most of my work did involve towing broken vehicles to shops, but occasionally I did have to do the non-consent tow as we were contracted to do that in certain lots. We always made sure the lots were properly marked as required by the city at every entrance and if not, we would clearly sticker the vehicle for 24 hours before towing. We would also only tow at the property owner's specific request, not "patrol towing" as many shadier companies do. I think the city should crack down on these shady, fly by night companies more often. They make the true tow truck driver look bad. We are there to service and help you more then we are there to take what is yours. Non consent tows should be only done if there is a blatant violation or if there is a real danger to others. ...

• Carmen Tuesday, Nov 4 at 4:43 PM FLAG COMMENT Dispicable...telling people they could park there and then towing their cars....and then making them wait for hours to get them back? I hope this towing company looses its license for good. Its a shame that they had to go through that. What a bunch of idiots. I hope the whole lot of them get fined....Dispicable...telling people they could park there and then towing their cars....and then making them wait for hours to get them back?
