Vehicle Impound Records & Documentation
When your vehicle is impounded, you’ll receive a Tow/Impound and Inventory Record Form detailing the condition of the vehicle and property at the time of impound.
If you wish to dispute the process, we provide information for filing an Impound Petition, submitting a Notice of Hearing, or contesting an impound tow in accordance with Washington State law.
As registered tow truck operators, we maintain strict documentation for all law enforcement impounds and provide copies of each letter of appointment, tow rates, and impound details upon request.
