I had a very frustrating experience with this towing company. My car was towed from my apartment complex because, they claimed, my parking permit sticker wasn’t visible. Before going in, I called to confirm the fee and was told it would be $325, cash only. I withdrew the exact amount from an ATM and arrived right when they opened on January 14th, 2026. When I got there, I was told they don’t give change, so I had to pay $340 because the ATM only gave $20 bills. If cash is the only accepted payment method, they need to provide change, this is basic in my opinion. The staff was also extremely rude. The woman at the counter treated me with disdain when I accidentally spoke before she finished talking, and even apologizing didn’t help. The glass partition only made communication more difficult. When I asked follow-up questions to clarify things, I was met with condescension and frustration instead of answers. Adding insult to injury, the towing itself seems unjustified. The pictures they took of my car before towing clearly show the parking permit sticker, which the driver even photographed. My apartment complex had to intervene to request a refund, which at least I did get. It also doesn't seem as my car had any damage so that's good. Overall, this was unprofessional, poorly handled, and unnecessarily stressful. I don't wish towing on anyone, but if this company is the one doing it, be prepared.

Like most companies they constantly break the law. MN REQUIRES towing companies to accept multiple forms of payment. But they will only accept cash. The fact you get too many charge backs does not exempt you from the law. I have reported to police and consumer protection about this. Also the worker stated she isn't breaking the law about the payments. That's not how it works. You are an employee for the company and represent them so you also are breaking the law. Also way overpriced. Even downtown towing is 225 not 325. Edit: looks like the statute is sneaky and says "or" in regards to payment so they apparently are off the hook there. But another statute does read they are only allowed to charge a maximum of 150 for the toe and 30 for daily storage.

The reason i gave them 1 star is... 1. $50/d charge 2. Why accept only " cash" 3. If u guys accept only Cash, u should prepare for the " Change"
