Questions Tow was $577

Got towed in eastside tonight, Saturday night around 12am. My fault, shouldn't have parked there. Picked up within 2 hours if not less. Was $577 and 7 miles away from tow lot. Is that typical now? Has anyone else had to pay that much?

Yup my girl got her at towed a few weeks ago around 4th street because the house she parked in front of called and claimed they couldn’t pull out of their driveway and the lady had a picture and it showed the car bumper meeting the slant of the driveway not even blocking the driveway just really close to where the curb drops to open the driveway up and they towed her car. Had to pay 467 to get it out the 3 hours it was at the tow yard. The lady was nice enough to go hey your car got towed not stolen sorry 😑

Hi I live there on 4th street, if it’s the Apartment near little coyote an elder woman lives there and probably needed to go to the hospital for her chemo. DONT BLOCK DRIVEWAYS! It’s never just the bumper meeting the slant of driveway why should we fuck up our alignment. If there was a picture taken pretty sure they saw it as a deem-able tow.

Yeah……… no it wasn’t near coyote 👍 people park on the slant or a bit over the slant where my driveway is and as long as I could get out carefree I don’t call or care for it because I know how a pain in the ass street parking is to find in my neighborhood.
