Reducing The Pain Of Towing Fees For Stolen Cars

If your car is stolen and abandoned elsewhere in the city, you not only have the frustration of the missing car and any damage it might have incurred, you often also get slapped with hundreds of dollars (or even thousands) in towing and storage fees. On Dec. 1, the city’s new towing contract expanded from four hours to 48 hours the length of time residents have to pick up their car without incurring towing fees; nonresidents will have a 24-hour grace period. In addition, other fees will be reduced or eliminated.
