  • The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to private parking lots unless such lots are posted to notify the public of any parking restrictions and the operator of the vehicle violates such posted restrictions. For the purposes of this section, “private parking lot” means a parking lot open to the public or used for parking without charge; or a parking lot used for parking with charge. The department shall define by regulation what constitutes adequate posting for public notice.

Such person who removes or has removed a vehicle left parked or unattended in violation of the provisions of subsection (b) shall have a lien against the owner of the vehicle, in the amount of the reasonable value of the costs of removing the vehicle plus the costs of storage. Any city, borough, incorporated town or township may, by ordinance, provide for rates to be charged for removal of vehicles and for municipal regulation of authorized towing services. If storage charges are not set by the municipality, a maximum of $25 per day may be charged for storage.

"My car was stuck hanging over a ledge wedged on a corner of masonry. I expected to have severe damage done to my car when pulling it out of the situation, but Mark the driver meticulously inched and angled the car out of the wedge without so much as a ding or a scrape. My friend and I watched as our minds were blown - I am not exaggerating - it was like an artform that I had never seen before."

The staff are terrific and extremely helpful. They took very good care of my '70 Chevelle, not a scratch on her! They really know what they're doing. The owner was very envious of my car though, which I thought was adorable 😁 He was very nice, professional and focused on my every need. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend them to anyone, hands down! 🤗

“Excellent service, great guys… went over and above helping me. My bike wouldn’t start on the sude of a road after I was hours away from my home; they did everything they could to get it going…then towed it , helped me get a new battery, help me get it started, and away I went! Charged me a very reasonable price. My heroes💪🏽”
