Enforcement Your Residents Can Live With

Towing on private property only works when the rules are clear and the tows are fair. Wardell has kept lots clear for property managers, HOAs and shop owners for nineteen years by doing both: proper signage that meets local rules, a written agreement on exactly what gets towed, and a photo and time stamp for every car we move. Property owners pay nothing — the fees are paid by the vehicle owner at release, at our posted rates.

  • ✓Signage that meets local rules
  • ✓A written list of what we tow and when
  • ✓Photos and a time stamp on every tow
  • ✓A release office that answers the phone

Property Managers

From The People Who Run The Lots

★★★★★
We manage four apartment communities and resident parking was a nightly argument. Wardell put up proper signs, patrols twice a night, and the complaints stopped within a month.
Danielle OrtizRegional property manager
★★★★★
Our customers couldn't park because of overnight trucks. One call, a free assessment and new signs the following week — and it didn't cost the plaza a thing.
Samir HaddadRetail plaza owner
★★★★★
Every tow comes with photos and a time stamp, so when a resident disputes one we have the answer in a minute. That alone is worth it.

Private Property Towing Questions

What does private property towing cost the property?

Nothing. Towing and storage fees are paid by the vehicle owner at release, at the rates posted at our release window.

Who can authorize a tow?

Only the people named in your written agreement — usually your manager and on-site staff. We never tow on a resident's say-so alone.

Do you install the signs?

Yes. We supply and install signs at every entrance to the standard local rules require, before enforcement begins.

How are abandoned vehicles handled?

We tag the vehicle, wait the required notice period, and then remove it — with photos at every step.

My car was towed. Where is it?

If it was towed from a lot we patrol, it's at our yard. Call the release office to confirm and hear the exact fee.

Can I get my car back after hours?

Yes, by appointment — call the release line and we'll arrange a time.
