Absolutely the worst. I hope you guys read this columbus impound lot. You guys absolutely suck. This is just the worst place ever. I'm appalled that my tax dollars pay for this crap. The process just to get to the back to get to your items if you have a crashed vehicle is ridiculous. You're not allowed to drive your rental or whatever car you're in to your automobile. You have to use wheelbarrows to bring your stuff back from your wrecked vehicle. The parking lot is huge. My vehicle was in lane 38, which is like 200 plus yards from the gate. Obviously you don't want to make two trips so you're throwing everything that you have inside of a dusty, dirty, wet wheelbarrel and then pushing it 200 plus yards back to the gate that you have to fight with to get through, and then to your car. And did I mention it was raining the whole time. Also, you're not allowed to have anybody else come back there with you. Literally only the person that is registered to the vehicle can go through the gate. So imagine having just totaled your vehicle body beaten and sore, and having to go back there by yourself with no help and wrestle all your stuff back in a wheelbarrow. My heart goes out to anybody who has to deal with this place. Make sure you bring some plastic bags or trash bags or something to throw your stuff in to help with the process and save it from getting filthy in the wheelbarrow. If zero stars was an option, that's what I'd be giving. Shame on you Columbus!!!

If you repeatedly call the city and/or use the 311 app about a vehicle in violation that is in a low income area, they will do nothing about the vehicle. They will respond, but nothing actually happens. However, they will impound a vehicle in a higher income area because they know the person has the ability to pay. I have witnessed this countless times over the years. Do they get commission or something? Why is the enforcement seemingly not equal across the board?

I hope nobody has to experience this place. First off make sure all your expensive belongings is out of the car at the scene of the accident because after my car sitting in the impound for just a day I could see it got ransacked and they was looking to steel stuff from my car. Also the guy at the front gate tried to tell me I couldn’t get my stereo system out of MY car that was totaled why? So you can steal it? And hopefully you aren’t in pain when you go to pick up your belongings they only let one person back there and you have to use a dirty old wheel barrow in a big parking lot to get your belongings. I would give this place a 0 stars if I could.
