Vehicle Impounding is the process of having a vehicle placed into a lot which hold the vehicle until the owner comes to pick it up. Impounding can be done by government agencies when there are parking violations, unresolved moving violations, evidence in a crime, no qualified person driving the vehicle, illegal driving, failed to pay tickets, and more instances where you could have your car impounded. Towing services can provide you with assistance by towing any vehicle needed to a local impoundment lot when needed. Whether your company, business, or government is looking for a way to impound cars, towing services can be hired.

Vehicle Evidence Impoundment
Vehicle evidence impoundment services are used when a car is in an investigation within the government. In any situations where a car is involved in a shooting, murder, theft, or when stolen by a thief, the car is impounded. Towing the vehicle is essential to bring the vehicle to the desired location where the police or government can look through the car for any evidence that may help solve the investigation. Towing companies will be called when they need the car relocated, checked and then brought to another impound lot where the owner can pick up the vehicle once finished.

Parking Violations
When having multiple parking violations and not paying them can add up to a vehicle impoundment. Unresolved moving violations can be used when a government official runs your license plate and discovers you haven’t followed up in court or paid them yet. This can also include if your vehicle is in a marked zone stating “tow away” or if your vehicle is stranded. Government officials or any business that has the right to tow your car will call a local towing company to get rid of your car which would be impounded. Failure to make payments on any parking or tickets will be towed immediately until those fees are paid off. If the vehicle isn’t claimed or if the fees aren’t processed within a certain amount of time, then the vehicle could be put up for auction.

Grant of Authority
Vehicles that are impounded can be done by certain authority figures depending on why the vehicle is impounded and where it was found. Many government officials can have access to impounding vehicles that have been in an investigation due to potential crime. Including if your car has had unresolved parking tickets and violations. Even potential business owners have the right to impound your car if you are parked in zones that say tow away or if they are stranded. Some judges will even send out someone to tow and impound a vehicle that isn’t allowed to be on the road or will use as leverage for people to pay any fines they may still have.

Towing to Impounds
Local towing companies will have this service to help search and locate vehicles that will need to be impounded. Vehicles that are stranded will be picked up and towed to a local impound lot when not complying to the rules. Including helping the government with finding a vehicle that hasn’t paid any parking and ticket violations that shouldn’t be on the road. Even when needing the vehicle for evidence, towing companies will tow the car to the police station for an investigation. Many business owners will have a local tow company that can be called when they need a vehicle towed from their property and disposed at an impound lot until the owner claims it.
