Becoming A Responsible Towing Patron

Do people often park in your business parking lot to access other businesses around you, and there are times when they leave vehicles for hours at a time? If so, it's time to hire an impound towing service.

You shouldn't have to be inconvenienced, and neither should your patrons or staff because people are inconsiderate and park where they shouldn't. Here are a few of the things you'll want to do to make sure that this isn't a problem on your property any longer.

Talk with a Lawyer

Talk with a lawyer to see what you can and should do. As long as the property is yours or you have been designated by the city a set amount of parking spots, you should be able to take action against those that are trespassing, or that aren't using the spots for their designated and approved use.

The lawyer will let you know what to print on the signs if this is what you choose to do, so you aren't liable for the towing expenses or damages to the vehicles. Make sure that you do everything the lawyer states is necessary to protect yourself legally.

Put Up Signs

It may be required that you put up signs to avoid liability and chaos. You will need to get in contact with a metal sign company and have signs posted on your property and in view of the parking lot or spaces. The signs should notify all that if the parking spots aren't used by patrons or staff that the vehicle will be towed. Also, all tows will be done at the owner's expense. Information for the towing company can also be printed on the sign if you've made an arrangement.

Find a Towing Company

Find a towing company that will take the vehicles to an impound lot. This way the owner of the vehicle can call the number listed on the sign, find out where their vehicle is, and go get it themselves. This is regular business for towing companies, so you may want to see if you can get some cut on each tow they profit off of.

You don't have to let people use your parking spots and clutter your commercial property if it's an inconvenience to your business. Instead, talk with a lawyer and take the necessary steps to get these vehicles towed fast and easily. This may require you to check out the window occasionally, and you may also want to install cameras.
